"It's not that George W. Bush should be hated... rather, he's a man who is not trustworthy and competent, especially with the highest office in the land.

The only reason he got this far is because of his family connections, and because he happened to be affiliated with a powerful political party. There was nothing about his personal character that merited being given this kind of responsibility. He was practically *picked* by the party bosses to be their nominee, set against whoever the Democrats picked. None of them were all that really attractive so far as leadership qualities go.

But like good little sheep, enough American people did not think for themselves about who they were electing, they had become so used to a political party thinking for them. They elected who they were expected to elect, nothing more. That's what our political system has become. Gone are the days when any kid could grow up believing he (or she) could be President of the United States. Sorry kid, but unless you have the right family connections and are willing to be a tool of the party, you won't be allowed to go that far.

George W. Bush just happened to have been a kid born with all the right assets already in place: he didn't bring anything of his own to the table, except a lot of character flaws: he's a compulsive liar. He's a liar who has no desire to repent of his lying. Why should I believe he's really a fellow Christian then? Why at all? He used falsehoods to get us into the war with Iraq and now he cannot decide what the reason was that we went in to begin with (in case nobody got the memo, he's now saying it was to secure Iraqi oil fields). He uses people: he literally made sure he was facing the cameras with those kids in Mississippi yesterday. A lot of people I know saw that, thought it was pretty obvious he was posing for the cameras. He tries to destroy people who disagree with him. He doesn't apologize, has even said he never has to apologize... well then, has he ever apologized to God for anything? If he can't apologize to his fellow man, why should we believe he can apologize to God? He's made out to be the paragon of Christian virtue... but he doesn't worship with his fellow Christians, something the apostle Paul told us not to forsake. Why, are we beneath his dignity to worship God alongside of? He associated himself with people who could only be described as wicked and iniquitous: Karl Rove, for one. Why would any good Christian actively have anything to do with someone who's entire life has been spent destroying others for something so meaningless as political power? Karl Rove may be the most evil "political consultant" in history... what is Christian about having hired him? Bush is a scoundrel when it comes to the public treasury that's been entrusted to him: he doesn't see the money we give government as a sacred trust, but rather his personal hoard to be raided for whatever crosses his mind. He does not admit his mistakes, and he does not show sympathy for those who have suffered and even died for his mistakes. Not *once* has he visited the graveside of one who has died in Iraq. He asks the young people of America to sacrifice their time for a "noble cause" but does not ask the same of his own children. He has been shown to use some of the worst language and obscene hand gestures without shame. He is a narcissist who believes that everything in the universe exists for sake of himself...

...and yet for all of this he is supposed to be a great Christian leader.

Why should I believe that he is a great Christian man? What virtues does he have that anyone could point to and convince me that he's worth believing this of? Why should I give him any special consideration in my prayers, when I cannot but believe that he is not even really President at all, but was put there by the schemes of others? Why, indeed?

I am expecting the only answers that will be given to this are "What would you have expected of Kerry?" or "At least he's not Clinton" or somesuch. We aren't talking about Clinton, or Kerry. We are discussing the man who is in the Oval Office now, and whether or not he is indeed a great man.

Twenty years from now, Bush will be regarded as the worst President in American history. Those who supported him, will be seen as fools. Why should I not beleive this to be true?"

My guess for the author of this screed is Andrew Sullivan. All it took was for President Bush to refuse to embrace his pet cause that is the only thing that matters to him - the "right" for men to have sex with one another and with little boys, and to force us and our churches to like it, to turn him from a reasonable pundit (a pundit who supported the War on Terror if for no other reason than he could see what would happen to him and his fellow homosexuals if the Islamofascists ever were to take over) into a foaming moonbat capable of writing this thing, and believing it.

He talks about Bush as being a narcissist, yet he and his fellow perverts and travelers on the left are the greatest narcissists this world has ever produced. If the whole universe is not all about them all the time, then it's evil and stupid and needs to be wiped out. Only a mind like that could produce this sort of tantrum, and at least 35 to 40 percent of this country "thinks" this way.

Sorry, anyone who simply declares that Karl Rove is evil does not deserve to even be discussed on this forum.

Doesn't really matter who said it, does it. Defamation and slander are not distinguished by their origins.

The quote isn't worthy of comment.But it reads like a commentary written for Cindy Sheehan to post on Huffington or Moore's website

I actually don't care who the source is. He/she/it are wrong.

1. He may have gotten to a certain point with family connections, but then he went further because at some point he started to value character and responsibility. Family connections can only get you so far. Case in point: Little Ronnie Reagan.

2. I can't speak for any one else, but I watched him very, very closely in 2000. Not just in speeches, but in the unfiltered feed on Cspan. I came to my own conclusions.

3. I can think of many times he was mistaken. I can not remember one time he has flat out lied in his role as President. Ironically, I am sure he has lied. We all have. But not as a matter of course.

4. President Bush said there were many reasons for the Iraq war. That is pretty easy to discredit.

5. He has never claimed to be a Christian leader. He has claimed to be a Christian. Big difference.

6. Karl Rove is not evil. He is a strategist. Whatever.

7...I figured it out!! It's Cindy Sheehan!

Did I get it right??

My guess is that is the work of a Freeper.

Disclaimer: I didn't read past this post before replying, so if you reveal the source down thread I don't know it yet. Didn't want to ruin the game.

I guess President Bush's meeting with some of the families of those killed, visiting the wounded at Walter Reed, and visiting the troop in Iraq isn't enough for the person who said this.

We sure don't have to wait twenty years to affix the 'fool' label to some of Dubya's critics though.
