    I agree that you can't blame Bush for 9/11. However, the Bush White House is still responsible for mishandling the war on terror, the Katrina recovery efforts, and now the loose banking practices that has been going on under his watch is coming back to bite us all in the ass. W's administration may be one of the worst managed White Houses since the 1920s.

    He said Bottom 25%, which would be down to about 8 presidents or so. So you're making yourself look like an idiot over about 3 presidents which I'm not sure you could name without going to some blog or wikipedia.

    You did this with Whottt and those California comments. I don't know man, you just make my head hurt sometimes.
    Let's see if I can explain this...I wasn't being serious. I know what 25% of 43 is. Even if I didn't you think I'd be dumb enough not to check before I posted? Don't answer that. I was using "it's my opinion that he doesn't think..." as a device to point out what a hypocrite he is. I guess I failed in that regard. My mistake. I didn't study political science so I can't name ever president no, but I can damn sure name more than timvp.

    as a totally objective outside observer, here is what i saw. timvp make a post about bush being a ty president but admitting that history books years from now may paint him as bad but not as one of the worst ever if subsequent presidents clean up his mess, so to speak. you seem to have misinterpreted that as a disagreement with your position when in fact he was agreeing with you with that little caveat.

    now it's a pissing contest between you too that's actually pretty funny.

    It was fun to participate in. He didn't agree with my position though whatever he may claim. My position is that the thread is not hyperbole. He thinks I don't know what hyperbole is. That's fine. He's wrong. I just saw his post as a half-assed attempt to ridicule bush but at the same time apologize for him. That's why I posted the history. Then he did kind of what I did in the debate blog thread (didn't respond directly). Which is why I kept going.

    Seriously bro, I don't know if maybe you are having a bad day or something but this has been the dumbest conversation I've ever engaged in during SpursTalk's history.
    It takes two to tango, my friend.

    I forgot about that. In his first term, Bush was the laziest president in the history of this country. All he did was go on vacation to the ranch in Crawford.
    Those were the good times.

    Unfortunately, he went back to work in his second term.

    Here's my favorite line though

    All things considered, the United States is in a fairly good position compared to the worse possible outcomes.

    @ timVP what a fool. I realize Bush is a Texan and you have a soft spot in your heart towards him, but it clearly has blinded you.

    Bush better than Gore or Kerry? Give me a ing break. Matter of fact go stick your head in the toilet and flush a few times.

    The biggest problem with electing an anti-intellectual like Bush is that they essentially become rubber stamps to the Cabinet they bring with them.

    1.) The Iraq War - A waste of 1 trillion dollars and thousands of lives. This alone puts him in the top 5 of worst Presidents ever.
    2.) Katrina - Hiring a horse trainer as head of FEMA? Are you ing kidding me?
    3.) Stock Market Collapse - Pushed through massive deregulation of our banking industry.

    This is my top 3, and as we have shown the list certainly does not stop there. Anyone who can say that Bush was a better option than Gore or Kerry needs to have their heads checked, and more importantly needs to never vote in an election again. May God have mercy on your idiotic soul.

    No TimVP actually said that Bush was a better option than Gore or Kerry. That's orders of magnitude dumber than anything said on here thus far.

    Typical that you would respond with personal attacks after being made a complete fool of.

    You and whottt certainly have a lot in common. I can see why you always come in to defend him. You both seem to love trying to change the subject whenever someone flat out owns you.

    The bottom line is you're the one who said Bush was a better choice for president than Gore or Kerry would have been. These are your words.

    They both like to call people names thinking it will enhance their argument.

    I think there are millions of Americans who would do a better job as a president than Bush.

    And imho he is a puppet directed from behind anyways. It is obvious he is not very smart so for him to make many important decisions seems almost unbelivable.

    I do not think it is even debatable if he was a horrible president. (to an objective outsider like me...)

    In his defense... also many other big countries like Italy or France have horrible presidents... He is just by chance the guy with the biggest power out there.

    He's awful.

    That said, it's a pretty weak thread. The only thing that redeemed it was Wild Cobra's impassioned fellating of Joe McCarthy.

    Link? timvp has attacked whottt more than anyone on the forum.

    Try again.

    You both seem to love trying to change the subject whenever someone flat out owns you.
    Asking for links of your accusations is changing the subject? JeffDrums22 can't own someone by giving his opinions. You're the same guy who got so owned in your other screen names that you have to continuously create new names.

    The bottom line is you're the one who said Bush was a better choice for president than Gore or Kerry would have been. These are your words.
    Go read it again. Keywords being "I think".

    If you want to try to concretely prove otherwise, be my guest. This time, avoid the ten year old emo rant.

    Thanks.
