re: If everyone was singing his praises as a paragon of fiscal discipline or as someone who has made the US much more free I would be arguing against such unsupported and false statements but since most of the false statements lean in the other direction (you have to look pretty hard to find someone calling him a paragon of fiscal discipline, its easier on SI to find someone who says he was the force behind 9/11) I wind up defending him more often than not.
So you are just being contrary; figures.
re: The worst president ever, from either perspective? That's a fairly wild statement.
Stick around for the consequences. I've been paying attention for 37 of my 55 years, and Bush is destructive, not constructive. Other Presidents (Cons and Libs) gave up their ideology for incremental pragmatic improvement, for the people they served. Bush is on a mission that very few understand, and it doesn't have to do with progress.
He's the worst, and the consequences will prove that. Maybe in my lifetime, certainly in yours.
I'm not a liberal and maybe a bit conservative, but I'm certainly not a Rep or Dem. You can be contrarian all day long... but 48% of the US population, and probably ~75% of the world population agree with me.
Frankly, I'm sick and tired of the discussion. You are responsible for Bush, you supported him. You own the consequences. It's not bush anymore... it's you.
