What is the worst element of the bush legacy?

[leftofthedial]

I w-a-y ran out of room with only ten choices, so I combined several things.

If you have an "Other," feel free to reply with the skinny.

[Horse with no Name]

1. July 6, 1946.

The day that rat bastard was born should be a National Day of Mourning.

[leftofthedial]

2. Oh, for a time machine....

[Frosty1]

3. Can I vote all of the above?

:think:

[leftofthedial]

7. you just did.

[peacebird]

4. Worst? The fact he will get away with it all. No punishment for the crimes he committed in our names

[leftofthedial]

6. you may well be right.

Clinton let Poppy skate on theft, treason and other crimes in the name of "looking forward."

I don't think Obama will even pause to rationalize letting junior skate.

[Muttocracy]

5. I voted 9/11 because it was used to excuse so many other things but overall

I'd say something about a loss of the separation of powers, checks and balances, etc. The SC put him in office starting all that off too.

[leftofthedial]

8. I find it nearly impossible to choose.

They all are so egregious on their face, but also have frightening long-term ramifications.

[samplegirl]

9. That Democrats allowed his second term!

[leftofthedial]

11. "democrats" didn't put up much of a fight over anything.

not two stolen elections, not an illegal invasion and occupation, not the rape of the Constitution, not the class warfare...


nada.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

10. The "War on Terror" (in general)

is essentially a compilation of the Bush (mis-)administration's "greatest hits" in terms of the damage inflicted on our country, our constitution, and the rest of the world. Just about everything else listed here has either been a product of it or its precursor (i.e. Bush v. Gore)

[leftofthedial]

12. I think of it as a marketing campaign

it's just a slogan for the rest of their agenda.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

17. Just like the entire (mis-)administration

The last 8 long years have been one long advertising campaign to get us to believe and accept things that we refused to accept even under Nixon, Reagan, et. al and were (previously) not even advocated by any credible individuals. Unfortunately, there were few individuals in Congress willing to stand up and denounce what the Bush (mis-)administration and the GOP were trying to foist on us.

[EstimatedProphet]

13. Uranium.

[cyclezealot]

14. Difficult priorities. life /death/ vs class warfare..

Bush's lies to get us into an unnecessary war.. Or the economic decimation of our people. Close calls. Guess 4000 unnecessary death's wins out.. Even if the economic rape of our people will eventually bring about our ability to support Bush's war machine.

[leftofthedial]

15. yep, it's hard.

I think the economic destruction will (or already has) killed far more people though.

[katmondoo]

16. George W. Bush is the culmination of the Bush empire

starting with Prescott Bush in 1945 to G.H.Bush and ending with G.W.Bush probably the dumbest and the one that may end their hold on the government(at least I hope so)

[polmaven]

18. Other....

Bush!

[infidel dog]

19. Worst? Tough choice. I'd like to throw environmental criminality in as well.

[El Supremo]

20. That such an obviously ignorant puppet could gain the presidency - twice.

[xxqqqzme]

21. 'The * Doctrine'

It sucks everything to it like a huge vacuum.

[leftofthedial]

22. My own personal disgrace didn't even make the poll

The loss of New Orleans.

[DutchLiberal]

23. 9/11 LIHOP. Without 9/11, Bush would've been a lame duck president...

and ousted in 2004.

[anonymous171]

24. His shameless class war. At least Reagan kept it on the down low.
