What would you rate Bush as a president? Vote! 1 being the lowest and 10 being the highest.

Bump.

I vote 9. I like Bush, he's a Christian (bonus) and his foreign policy rox0rz ;).

Not looking to start a debate, here, so close your mouth BEFORE your thoughts hit your voice box.

I voted seven. I'm sure there are probably those out there more capable than Bush, and indeed, Bush does seem to be on one big shopping spree in Washington. But other than that, I consider him doing a good job.

I voted 2. The only thing keeping him from a 1 was his immediate responses to 9/11 (after he finished reading to first-graders). Everything after that was a traveshamockery.

Are you more conservative or more moderate than Bush?

I voted 1. I can't agree with him on almost anything. This is because he is almost the exact opposite of my political viewpoint. But that's just my opinion.

Are you more conservative or more moderate than Bush?
It's hard to quite do it that way. I'd guess I'd say more conservative, but I do have slightly more liberatarian views. The Republicans seem to have done a little better with liberatarian values than the Democrats, especially since Reagan took us in. But I'm not really a full-blown one, just a moderate one.

Bump.

5. A resounding "meh."

I'll give him a 6 because there are things about him I respect but theres quite a few I don't but if this were based on foreign policy, I'd give him a 1.

i voted 3 because he,s done a below average job, but not the absolute worse, but still bad

Bush has done an OK job, better than Kerry or Gore would have done, IMO.

His foreign policy is his weakest point, well that and social issues.

I might have to agree with you there.

Gore or Kerry, I hope, would have done better.

I gave him a 2 becuse he could be worse.

In my opinion, though, the bare minimum a president should do is not start an unjustified war. Thousands of people are dying in Iraq, and I have no idea how a christian can reconcile causing that with his faith.

Even if you argue that the war may be for the best - which is highly debatable, and you shouldn't start a war without being damn sure - the justifications actually given for starting the war are obviously silly.

That just doesn't seem good to me.

I only picked "1" because there wasn't an option for 0 (zero)

I picked 1 because I hold not a single one of his views, I think he is completely incompetent, I hate who he represents, I hate the south, I want a giant memocide that exterminates everyone in Alabama except the African-Americans, and I want the same of Bush. Technically that is what a 1 requires, otherwise you are a 2.

*snicker* your reason is better than mine.

I picked 2 because I don't know what a memocide is.

and I'm sure he could be worse. Right? Right?!

Sure Bush could be worse. He could be Kerry or Gore.

Both sides need to face the facts that the past two elections didn't have very good choices. IMO, Bush was the lesser of two evils in both elections.

Memocide is the killing of everyone who holds a particular political or religious belief. It's basically a more justified genocide. But genocide is such a bad word, I'll just stick with memocide. :D

I hold the same opinions on the south with you, I mean they could have voted Democrat, but NO! And what the hell is up with Florida changing their mind? first they were Gore, than they could've got revenge on Bush for making the country hate them and for ruining a perfectly good election, but than they voted for Bush not Kerry? What the hell is wrong with those people!!!

A clear choice (what you see is mostly what you get) maybe but the lesser of two evils, man what are you smoking?

or "-Infinity"

There are a lot of cool places in the South (plus plenty of places that suck). But I suppose it's easier to generalize, damn queer pinko-commie atheist yankees.

yeah... Brazil, the south-pole, Cuba

I believe he meant in the US, but good try :D!

The only reason im not giving him a 1 is because there isn't a 0. I simply dont know why ppl who are in touch with the real world give him nefing above 2

I also wish there was an option for zero, or a negative number.

There hasn't been a worse president that I can think of. He is arrogant, stupid, religious extremist, racist, homophobic, war profiteering, reckless, uninformed, uncaring about fully half of the nation, and has restricted american freedoms more than any terrorist ever hoped for.

...don't forget his illiteracy...

You have to realize that in Florida it was probably an entirely different population by the time the second election came around.

I voted 1 because IMO Bush isn't doing his job. It is his job to run the country the way the people want it ran, not the way Big Businesses who are lining your pockets want it ran. Sure Gore and Kerry most likely have soft money coming their way, but I'd rather have a party who's supposed to be FOR the working person taking the soft money than a party that is FOR businesses.

P.S. Go North

The only good that could come out of him is banning gay marriage.

There's more investors than union members in the USA. Just because he dosen't represent the working class dosen't mean that Bush isn't doing things the way the country wants him to.

1. That's not good.

2. Fortunately, it will never happen.

My sentiments exactly and he doesn't give a damn about what the rest of the world thinks.

The only good that could come out of him is banning gay marriage.

Banning something that doesn't really exist?? Yeah, that's brilliant.

I voted a 2.

He absolutely sucks, but he's done a few things okay and I'm sure there's been someone worse, though I wouldn't know who.

I only voted the way I did because I couldn't use negative numbers.

$%#&^* Where's the negative numbers?!! &**(

'Course any politicians getting over 4 in my book probably should be sainted...
But Bush? He who'd dump the Constitution and Bill of Rights? I'd use imaginary numbers, but hard to on someone without any..
Four more years of USA the puppet state.

Don't forget he kicks puppies and babies, and drowns cuddly kittens.

I don't know about racist, but he does have more minorities in his cabinet then any other democrat ever did.

He's an idiot, liar, hypocrite (oh, let's be Christian and feed the rich while taking from the poor), and invaded Iraq because it might have had some terrorists. The British have terrorists inside their country. Should he invade Britain? Oh and Saddam and Osama hated each other.

His only redeeming features that let me give him a 2 are his policies on abortion and gay marriage. But those are easy things to oppose for him - what about the REAL Christian values he says he follows?
