Because he's personally responsible for the last 4 years and Kerry is not

Because he's in power and satirists aren't known to go after Mr Muggins the butcher instead.

Kerry at least gets some credit for the last four years. He was in the Senate, after all. :)

Oh yeah... the place where he said Saddam was a problem (but did not say they should go to war over WMD's)

Actually the worst president was Evil Spasmotron, but he was so terrible that people pretended it never happened, a mass cover up occurred and we still believe that noone by that name was ever in office.
Only a few know the truth...

This shall eventually lead up indirectly to the Cat in the Hat Conspiracies; Crossman knows what I mean.

because he's misunderestimated.


... seriously, the question isn't why is attacked, the question is why he is president of the USA. And I'm afraid the answer is cruel to US citizens.

It's easier to make fun of one idiot than a bunch of shadowy politicians.

He had a questionable entry into office, he's made questionable decisions during times where safety was questioned during a time when our unity as a country is questionable bringing about the questionable practice of immediately tying any who do not immediately bash him to a questionable theory of a right wing conspiracy to ruin the world.

Regardless... I say we throw the world for a loop and vote Libertarian.

Micheal Badnarik for president!

Why do people attack him? Because they can.... That is my freedom of speech and expression right and if we have an idiotic yokel president I will by all means speak out against it! You aren't a commie right?

They called Bush 43 dumb, they called Bush 41 dumb, they called Reagan dumb, they called Ford, Nixon even Dwight D. Eisenhauer dumb. It goes on and on an on with the vain hope that if you say it enough times it'll become fact.

Categorically presidents are never as "smart" as the one before them, but at the time you'd think it was the worst president ever. Same tactics for 50 years. Liberals don't change. Impressionable young people don't change. Lucky for me this time around my generation votes more conservative than liberal. Perhaps those of us born in the Reagan years were able to form opinions on our own, and realize the failure of liberalism.

Don't worry, next Republican president will be called "DUMB AS DOORKNOBS" and will never measure up to George W. Bush. It's just how it is. Same game, same game same game.

Hardly.

The worst was Warren G. Harding. The guy didn't do anything!

Probably the most corrupt was the Grant administration.

However, as we learn more, I think the Shrub might over take them all.

If he was a good president he wouldn't be an easy target.

For someone who criticizes liberals for not being able to form their own opinions, you sure do take your cues from Ann Coulter. In fact it almost sounds like you're repeating from her book, <I>Slander</i>, word for word.

What a Liberal Thinks of Said Presidents:

George W. Bush: Incompetent or a lair. Admit your mistakes or quit lying about said mistakes.

George W. H. Bush: Smarter than we thought, notably for not attacking Iraq due to the lack of a foreseeable exit strategy. However he fouled up on the economy (though many could blame Reagan) and did encourage Kurd rebels to attack without intending to back the said rebels.

Ronald Reagan: Similar to Bush, however I think he was more honest than Bush and truly didn’t know what he was doing.

Ford: He wasn’t dumb, but he was not prepared to become the president. He was NEVER elected by the American people into an executive branch of office. The poor guy just wasn’t ready to handle the office.

Nixon: Smart as hell and actually did more liberal policies since FDR. He’s not stupid, however he was paranoid and attempted to alter the democratic elections (note, not a capital D democrat) and abused his position in power. That’s why liberals hate him.

Ike: Smart as hell and knew how to hide it. He was intelligent and allowed others to take the limelight for his actions. His only negative aspect was the fact he didn't say he would help communist countries who rebeled aganist the USSR. Poland and Hungary.


And if you're curious where I get this infomation, try Grand Exceptations and other historical text books. I'm a US History major and a liberal. :p

*cough* Nixon *cough*

Because he's gay and can't cover his nature (you can run but you can not hide). And because he had a abortion with a black prostitute, they don't like that in the redneck fascist community :sniper: :gundge: :upyours:

Good call, I was quoting Ann Coulter, "Slander" Chapter 7 - "The Joy Of Arguing With Liberals - You're Stupid!"

Very very applicable.

On being a history student, I can accurately say "Good boy!" and give you a treat for repeating what you've been told correctly. If I had that kind of power over impressionable minds like liberals do I'd be a powerful lobbying force too!

Actually, my point is that you've just repeated opinion of another person. Thus you are not showing you have opinions of your own. Thus our generation is being affected by opinions, just strongly conservative. This doesn't mean it's a good thing or a bad thing, it just is.

That would be "Good Girl" and most history professors and teachers I've had have been extremely conservative. Wow. Two stereotypes in one paragraph. Bravo!

Bush is attacked so much because he pissed the world off by ignoring other nations. And the US wants to be liked by the world.
