Bush: Worlds Greatest Villain or Hero?

[turtle]

I saw the results of the poll taken a little while ago in the news papers, but I thought I'd get the results from the twcenter population.

EDIT: I voted Villain, obviously

[Farnan]

I vote option 3: Neither...

I vote option 3: Neither...

Good choice, I'd agree, but I used just those two for a reason... to see how many people would choose one or the other.

Those two choices are very extreme in both senses, especially considering the fact that there are much worse people out there.

[Fabolous]

Hero more than villain, but not remotely close to either. He is so overrated.
(Plus even if you really hate or love Bush, you should hate or love Cheney more. Because guess who is running things.)

[Gaidin]

voted 2 to spite all the bashers

[turtle]

I chose #1 because he and his administration have done more villainous things than heroic.

[LSJ]

Difficult to answer because my opinion is neither.
He is not a hero, and not quite a villain. I don't like him, but he never murdered anyone, stole, or ordered bombs to be dropped on heavily populated civilian areas. The air force did that.
For the world he has not done anything that is only good. Everything has some sort of negative effect too. But that's true with every militaristic action.

[boofhead]

He certainly isn't the world's greatest villain. There are many buttholes around, both as national leaders and others. I'd consider environment and human-raping multi-national lawyer-run greedy corporations far worse than the President of the US. Being a little bit "lost for words" and verbally dyslexic doesn't make one the devil either.

He certainly isn't the world's greatest hero. That distinction belongs to lowly and unknown people who risk life and limb for others or for a principle and receive little recognition.

[Kscott]

yea, nothing i can pick here....

[Ven0m1985]

If i was in command i be the greatest villian

[Parmenion96]

Bush is not a Villain and yes he didn't drop bombs, the airforce did. HE ordered that. HE is representing every ***** u.s. is doing, no matter who run's the show. Droping bombs over children, brainwashing americans and pushing he's view of democracy to everybody else. I doubt he know what democracy means. For me he is like Idi Amin Dada but not like Hitler cause Hitler had more brain. He should be hang like Hussein.

Pretty polar poll you have here, if i had to choose (and i have to) id go with Villain ,too many people have died for no reason because of him,in a sense, and top it he mess the American Economy up too, after the Clinton the Economy started the Downward move.

Can we stop with the economy downturn thing, the recession was pegged by many economists as starting in the last quarter of the Clinton admin...Bush inherited it did not create it and the economy now is growing at a good clip and unemployment is at amazingly low levels.

[RZZZA]

the largest part of our society, the middle class, is not experiencing the benefits of the economic turnaround. As opposed to the clinton years and his economic boom, where the middle class did largely participate...


so nyah.

[Fabolous]

The economy right now is much better for the middle class than it was under most of Clinton's term.

But as long as we continue to move towards socialism, the economy will contiune to be rather weak for those of us in the lower-middle class.

Proof? Im middle class and other then gas prices when they spiked doing just fine thank you very much besides the rich *always* get richer when economy is doing well compared to lower/middle class in comparison. The biggest economic failure of Bush admin is the deficit which given the combat we are involved in is not surprisingly but there has been alot of nonsense spending by this admin. Now THAT is something Clinton rightfully deserved credit for.

[President Dick]

Bush has ordered the deaths of more Iraqis than Saddam Hussein could hope to destroy in a hundred years. He may not have said to kill them, but by declaring war on "terror" this is what happened and he knew it. If Saddam Hussein deserved to die, then so does Bush. I dont believe either of them should have to die, but I do know that Bush is probably a near-powerless figurehead that is being manipulated by people in the background. So he just lets them control things, and slides through presidency. He is not evil, he is merely an old man following in his fathers footsteps.

[Kovas]

Worlds Greatest Villain of course... and Worlds Greatest Idiot.

[Lord Consul]

I do think you tend to overestimate the reach and the nature of America's presidential power.

The President is just the figurehead of a complex, large and entrenched set of interests defended by a myriad of societal forces grouped into a single party.

War is profitable. Ask Halliburton or the weapons' sector.

[Giorgos]

nothing to pick here. i'd say he just follows orders.
