George W. Bush owes his election and re-election to them.

We have people like Falwell, Robertson, Dobson, etc. and their millions of right wing religious sheep voters to thank for the worst eight years in the history of this country.

Good point! The Bush era wasn't as bad as the Civil War!

Some of these posters are almost talented enough to work in Bush's White House!

Next up: George Bush isn't as bad as amoebic dysentery!

Worst President in the history of the country.
Grant? Harding? Buchanan? Johnson? Pierce? Fillmore?

No, he isn't a good president, but our country has seen far worse.

Maybe not, but we sure had a better President then.

Not only is he in last place. He's solid last. None of those ran up the kind of debt he has. Got us into two wars that we are going to lose, and given the U.S. the most negative image it's ever had to the rest of the world.

He has done one good thing though. He's completely wrecked Karl Rove's wet dream of creating a "permanent conservative majority".

NoCountry said that Bush's terms in office have been the "worst 8 years in our country's history"... I pointed out an obvious example of something worse. Do you get this excited every time someone tries to defend Bush in any way?

Unless the next president and congress can change the direction of the country, history may very well view Bush as the president that set WWIII in motion.
