<Did anyone think when he was running against Gore that he would be this much of a loser?> Well I thought he would be a terrible president and i'm not surprised that he has turned out to be the worst president in history but no I can't really say I thought he would be this bad. _________________________ "anybody but bush" ...

Did anyone think when he was running against Gore that he would be this much of a loser? Well, Chris, Molly Ivins tried to warn people in "Shrub" that everything in his background had been greased by family influence, that Texas Governor is a nothing job, and that he was totally in the pocket of big money and big corporations. I had read it and told a lot of people to no avail that his only qualification was B-U-S-H at the end of his name. I think voters expected him to be a junior version of the old man. I always thought Big George had that look of the classic second banana in over his head but he was a decent guy with a lot of experience and qualifications. Well, now we are finding out that compared to his misbegotten offspring, Bush Sr. was a combination of JFK, FDR, Abraham Lincoln and Jesus Christ. The major task now is to convince his voters that it was OK to be wrong once since so little was known about him and that it is now time to correct that mistake. Voting for this guy a second time would amount to criminal stupidity.

Re: Did anyone think when he was running against Gore that he would be this much of a loser? I remember trying to get the crowd at the President George W. Bush thread to read Molly Ivins' wonderfully insightful "Shrub" before the 2000 election. I doubt that more than one handful of the hundreds of thread members bothered to do so as I did. Almost all of the disasters that Bush has created since his annointing were predictable from the mean-spirited, fiscally irresponsible, morally deranged decisions he made as a private businessman and then as Texas governor. War, deficits and the coddling of the corporations and the rich were totally predictable and predicted by me (following Molly's lead). What I did not foresee was the remarkable events of 9/11 and the ominous note that there appears to be vast complicity in that scheme by elements of the U.S. shadow government.
