I took an oath to defend the constitution and have done so for well over 20 years. You mock that which you dont comprehend.

Mob isn't anti-gay marriage. He believes it's common sense to marry who you're atracted to. Said so himself.I think that being anti-gay marriage is against the principle of "pursuit of happiness"

I understand that Bush has utter contempt for the Constitution, and that no president, including Nixon, has ever undermined and ignored the Constitution and basic American liberties the way Bush has.

Gas prices were quite high during Carter's administration.
Prices were low during Reagan's watch because of overproduction and because we were basically bribing the Saudis to do it.

Carter: 1977-1981, presides over the larget increase in the price of oil in the history of the US.
Reagan: 1981-1989, Brings oil price from a record high, back down to pre-Carter levels.
Bush I: 1989-1993, Except for a blip of the Gulf War, prices remain at pre-Carter levels. Net result - no change.
Clinton: 1993-2001, A dip resulting from Asian economic crisis and a recovery. Net result - no change.
Bush II: Prices spike due to war, no surprise.
We can do gas instead of oil, but there will be no difference. You are just wrong.
How wrong can one get? Keep trying though, your partisan hackery will get better with practice.

Five, he's not as bad as he's painted, Iraq sucked but heh until recently the economy had been rising.
Iran promised it $1bn in aid, and favourable trade concessions, I bet that will help. Certainly went down well when Ahmadinejhad visited. He got a fanfare, a full state welcome and a hug from the Iraqi president. Ah sweet, that two countries can patch up their differences and offer the olive branch.

Well, the poll wasn't really worded correctly. For instance, some feel that Bush would score the same as the most evil person on earth, but most of our 1's are from people who are attempting to compare him to past American presidents, or perhaps other current world leaders, or even how they would conduct the job.
I used Brennan's scale and gave Mr. Bush a 6. Now of course, in some minds, a 6 is above average. If I were to vote the way most other people on this board have voted, I would probably be around a 3 or 3.5.
So next time we ought to set some better parameters, and then it would be great to have a public poll. Right now, this poll doesn't mean anything.

The reason there are no parameters it is because each different user would vote according to his or hers parameters and not mine.
That would possibly make some Polls to not mean anything. But when Voters concentrate on the Bottom of the Poll or in the Top is such margin is hard to not understand what the Poll means. Because an one or two there is no way it can be above average. Even more if other Polls not necessarily internet based had similar results. You are not reading exact figures and statistics here . Only a sentence that is the summarization of the statistic. Very low approval.
Regarding the issue of making the Poll public i agree that without parameters there can be confusion but again there are some common parameters that do not need to be said to be accepted. For example all agree that an One means considering Bush as an extremely bad president. We don't know compared to whom but that isn't the point.

Of course if a 1 is for Pol Pot then Bush rank higher but then, every president of the US would also rank higher since none of them would have the power to do something like killing half the country. Because of that I see a rating of 1 as the worst president a democratic country could have.
With that in mind I rate Bush at 2. On september 12 2001, he was the head of the most powerful country the world has ever know and had a huge capital of sympathy all across the world. 7 years laters, he's now at the head of a declining superpower who is hated everywhere. I honestly can't think of any low-class politician that could do worst. The only reason I don't rate him at 1 is that he didn't reinstated the draft or attack Iran or Syria.

I think given another term he probably would, I don't think his idiocy has any statute of limitations unfortunately. The draft would not be necessary in the US to be honest, not for Iraq, and unlikely for anything but WWIII (conventional)

The greatest trick Bush ever pulled was convincing some Americans he wasn't a total failure.
Mobboss, are you encouraged in your military to have conservative political leanings ?
It seems strange to see serving officers voicing a political opinion.
Of course it is easy for us, all our politicians are just the hired help to the crown.
