I picked the second-to-the-last choice.

In terms of what?

Ashcroft. Definately. With Wolfowitz next.

Now we wait for the poll...

Sh**! I accidentally picked the last one...for anyone curious, I MEANT TO PICK THE SECOND-TO-THE-LAST CHOICE!!!!!!!!!!

Don Rumsfeld frightens me because his demeanor is more of a secretary of State. That makes me question how well he can run the military.

SPECIAL NOTE: You do not have to be American to vote in this poll! If you do not live in the U.S., I still highly encourage you to vote!

Wolfowitz and then Ashcroft.

Wolfowitz and then Ashcroft.

Just curious, but what secretary is Wolfowitz again? Sorry if that's a dumb question, but I always forget.

Yay for the last choice! And no, I am not a dumkopf!

Again, frightening in what respect? For instance, I consider Dick Cheney to be much scarier as far as pure evil goes than, say, Colin Powell. But I wouldn't be scared of Cheney in a fistfight, whereas even at 70 I'd be apprehensive of fighting Powell.

Ashcroft. Definatly him. The champion of the Patriot Act (pts. I and II)

Wolfowitz and then Ashcroft.
Correct in one!

Paul Wolfowitz is Deputy Defense Secretary, and one of the principal architects of the policy behind the Project for the New American Century (PNAC). PNAC policy has effectively become American policy, thanks largely to Wolfowitz, Cheney, and Rumsfeld. Not everything the PNAC stands for is awful, but their arrogance towards non-superpowers (ie: everyone else) is nothing less than astonishing.

Rise of the NeoCons (http://www.sundayherald.com/39068):
"Wolfowitz - often referred to as Wolfowitz of Arabia - and [VP Chief of Staff Lewis "Scooter"] Libby have written that the US 'must discourage advanced industrial nations from challenging our leadership or even aspiring to a larger regional or global role'. The PNAC project was the crystallisation of that thinking and, when Team Bush entered the Oval Office, the plan simply had to be dusted off and put into action in the aftermath of September 11."

Ashcroft's just plain scary as the top law enforcement official in these United States. The Constitution's not something you'r supposed to find a way around, for Pete's sake.

What I like about this poll is that there really is no wrong answer.

Although, I do wonder why Condi didn't make it on the list.

I picked President Bush himself because I think he is being controlled by the others. He is more scary to me because I think he really believes that all of the crap he has pulled is right. The other guys are doing it for power, but I think Bush is convinced. That is scary.

Do you really think Bush is convinced of his own P.R. or is it more a result of the incredible insularity that surrounds him? Can a person be blamed for their own "out of touch-ness" if they are surrounded by yes men?

Yes, they can. But the thing is, I don't think he realizes that's what he's doing. The reason it scares me is that I think he *really* does think he's doing what is right for the country.

It's kind of like when someone projects a psychosis or an action onto another person. They don't know they have it or have done it, and they really *believe* the other person does.

I went with Cheney because he's the power behind King George the Lesser, but Ashcroft comes in for a very close second.

I went with Ashcroft, because he's the most clinically insane. Not to say that the others aren't, but when a man has himself anointed with Crisco after being picked as Attorney General, you gotta wonder. Also, he has a pathological fear of tabby cats. Weird. Wolfowitz is the next scariest, not just for policy but also because he looks like an evil chimpanzee. Seriously!

Then, in order of fear,
Rumsfeld (always looks ready to kill the first thing he sees)
Powell (most physically able to kill a man, though seems a good person)
Cheney (undoubtably evil, but just startle him and he'll have a massive coronary and die)
Ridge (could deport any one of us if he doesn't like us, that's bad)
Condi (scary-looking, and evil)
Bush (who's afraid of a man who can almost be killed by a pretzel? Even policy-wise, he's just a sock puppet)

I'm probably one of the only people who actually supports the Bush Administration, and I can't wait to vote for President Bush again. G-d help us if John Kerry is elected.

Oh, I think if Bush is reelected, we can pretty much rule God out of the picture.

I voted for John Ashcroft because...

a) Condoleeza Rice wasn't on the list and...

b) The people of Missouri had a choice between election John Ashcroft or a dead man to the Senate. In their wisdom, they picked the dead man. ;)

Lol!

I picked Bush, mainly as I view the others as "yes" men. Though it becomes a toss up who is the worst of them. And as for Bush getting reelected - most people will probably go with the lesser of the two evils (for lack of better term) and pick Kerry. Bush has all ready shown his true colors.

I don't like Bush or Kerry. My vote goes to Nader. A wasted vote, but at least I won't be going with either of those two. I hate politics.

Anyway, I voted for Rumsfeld. Though Bush is the commander in chief, I think Rumsfeld could have a lot of say in how things are run military wise.

Appearance wise, Condoleeza Rice can be pretty scary at times. Boy I'd hate to piss her off....

I voted Bush, because ultimately he's the one with the finger on the button. In my books the more power someone has, the more frightening they are.
