    Often in his presidency, Mr. Bush has conducted
    arguments with unidentified opponents

    Who's he talking too?

    While were on the subject of Dubya...Check out this Pew Research finding

    "The single word most frequently associated with George W. Bush today is "incompetent,"and close behind are two other increasingly mentioned descriptors: "idiot" and "liar." All three are mentioned far more often today than a year ago."




    Assmakes the list!

    The only problem with the criticism is that the President wasn't making a straw man argument. Almost all of his "straw man" arguments can be traced back to the opposition he cites.

    It's hard to trace back 'source say' or 'some say'. That's the point of the whole article.

    Here is the proposed 2006 list of one-word descriptions for Dubya...

    I know the point of the article and what I'm saying is the blogosphere has already debunked this article by pointing to actual Democrats and opponents to the war that the article claims were "straw men" pulled out of thin air by the President.

    Just because he doesn't specifically name them doesn't mean they don't exist. His responses were to actual criticisms by the Left. I'm sorry the story didn't research.

    dubya should try this "straw man"

    "I know some 65% of the USA disapproves of me as a dumb , liar, incompetent, ignorant, illiterate, inarticulate asshole but I'm going to stay all them courses."

    The funniest part of this list to me is how Christian is climbing up the charts...

    [hardened Bush supporter, when asked to sum him up in one word] Hmmmm... he's... um... Christian? [/hardened Bush supporter, when asked to sum him up in one word]

    I know those lists are full of crap because "misunderstimated" and "strategeric" don't appear.

    Quite frankly I'd probably rule it out because the only President who could possibly be worse than George Bush would be Cheney.

    So Clinton increased the debt by $1.5 trillion? Wasn't he the one running huge surpluses?

    Interesting . . .

    This is because the U.S. government works it's numbers in projections. Had Clinton's tax rate on the rich not been cut, and the effects of the 01 recession not been craddled by 'some say', needless mountains of deficit spending by the 'reform' congress, we would have realized actual savings, even with the current costs of the Iraq war.
