Other than his stance on illegal immigration I think Bush has done a fine job. I dont expect Bush to be 100% perfect. So, I guess that means you like his liberal spending, and you liked him signing the McCain/Feingold legislation that limits our free speech? I guess it doesn't bother you that he holds Ramadan dinners for Islam followers? I guess you see no harm in him pressuring Israel to give away land that God gave to them? Even though God warns that any nation who goes against Israel will suffer His wrath? I guess you are OK with him giving money to terrorist organizations, like Hamas? Yeah, I guess your right. He's a great President. < / sarcasm >

Is this immigration bill a travesty? You bet. But saying Bush is even in contention for “worst president” is like saying “I’m a breast man, so I think Ann Coulter is only slightly more attractive than Helen Thomas.”

FDR is still the worst. No sale. Carter was FDR's eceonomics paired with Neville Chamberlain's foreign policy sense.

Bush is the worst Republican since Hoover. Carter is still hands-down the worst in US history. Bush is the worst Republican since Gerald Ford, not Hoover. I have always considered James Buchanan to be the worst US president, but Carter isn't far behind.

This is sad but true. W is the worst President in my history. He not only is giving away our sovereignty and language and industrial base and using up our military and dollars, I have read that virtually every government agency has been place in the hands of political appointments that have nothing to do with qualifications.As a result the services that Americans have come to expect have been mis managed and cut.
I can not wait until 2008
To: PEACE ENFORCER
As a BUSHBOT..... Ah...sweet predicatability. The Bush haters believe everyone who doesn't share their hate must be the exact opposite, a robot programmed to love the 43rd President no matter what. Sorry, I can differ with this guy strongly while recognizing the good he's brought and the utter disaster others have brought or would have brought if they had been elected in his place. Believing this guy is a contender for worst president is like a guy who likes his women short betting on Helen Thomas to beat Ann Coulter in a beauty contest.

And FDR probably did more long term harm than any of them. But, FDR had one advantage over Jimmah and LBJ, he had balls! He may have been wrong domestically, but he never forgot the words of his cousin about the 'big stick'..
There are few dems these days who would even be worthy to wash the underwear of Roosevelt & Truman.
Now, I'm not discounting the damage the 'new deal' has done, but I bet neither he nor Truman would break a sweat walking right over Iraq and into Iran..

W is the worst President in my history. Well then, you are to be congratulated. You see, your writing skills are far better than the average six year old's. You must be only six, right, because otherwise you wouldn't be excluding Bill Clinton from your list?
As a result the services that Americans have come to expect have been mis managed and cut.
What cuts? Government's been growing like a lethal cancer for the past six years, and only slightly more slowly for the eight years prior to that. Who's being deprived of services via cuts?

Harding may have few fans among liberal historians, yet he was about the most effective depression-fighter ever to occupy the White House. The tax and spending cuts that he pushed through Congress helped to end the severe depression that had begun in 1919 and to stimulate a recovery that would last through the decade of the 1920's.
Incidentally, Harding is the only president during the twentieth century to significantly downsize the federal government--something not even Ronald Reagan was able to accomplish.

.
I would replace the word “hate” with “DESPISE”

It would be hard to find a worse President than Carter because you couldn’t find one, except maybe Bill Clinton.
Carter=Socialist moonbat before his time.
Clinton=Immoral liberal playboy pervert

No, they wouldn’t. Truman, especially, had balls.
However, I think the domestic policies that FDR espoused inevitably lead to a weakening of the will to defend one’s self and one’s country if it entails more than a little inconvenience.
Furthermore, FDR, really was soft on Communism and had numerous reds in his administration. As his sainted wife put it, “Communists are just socialists in a hurry”.
And, of course, they had the excuse that we didn’t have all the experience of socialism’s failures that we do now. Although we had enough.
Heck, I knew it was wrong when I was 10, just by checking out the commandment about stealing.

I love the Gipper, but the reality is, we have this 'flood' in part because of Reagan's amnesty for illegals.
I agree but I believe Reagan was under the impression that the employer's of illegals would be prosecuted after signing the bill. I can't imagine Reagan being fooled a second time. "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me." Bush on the other hand has no excuse.

Great post— apparently the kool-aid is still flowing freely in some quarters.
