Bush SUCKS! (Warning: stream of consciousness fear-based rant within)

[The Lone Ranger]

Yeah, I almost wish I had a television, so I could watch it. (Okay, technically I do have a television, but I refuse to get cable, so I use it only for watching the occasional dvd.)

Judging from how Gore simply destroyed Bush in the 2000 debates, yet all the media outlets were practically falling over themselves to say how well Bush performed, I'm not looking forward to the reviews tomorrow. *Sigh*

Remember when Bush "looked into Putin's soul" and declared that he liked what he saw? Good gravy! I don't know what was more astonishing -- that he'd actually admit to forming his opinions of world leaders on such a basis, or that the American people didn't immediately demand his resignation.


On the other hand, maybe there's something to it:

"Hmm, a wannabe autocrat who 'won' the election under highly suspicious circumstances. Someone who's using the threat of terrorism (largely spurred by his own policies) to 'justify' giving himself more and more power. A guy who uses the excuse of 'national security' to stifle the democratic process and further tighten his grip on power. A guy who has nothing but contempt for the will of the people, but claims to have a 'popular mandate' to rule exactly as he sees fit. A guy who basically tells the rest of the civilized world to take a flying leap every time someone protests his arbitrary and thoughtless decisions. Someone who demonizes his opponents, and no matter how disastrous his policies turn out to be, is utterly incapable of admitting to having ever exercised bad judgment. He's definitely my kind of guy!"
