Bush v McCain 2000 smells just like Bush v Kerry 2004: Disgusting !!
John McCain's comment and confrontation to George Bush about Bush's participation in the smear campaign against McCain in the 2000 Campaign. Unfortunately it worked for Bush in South Carolina in 2000 so he has every reason to believe it will work for him again versus Kerry.Note: When G.W. Bush became President in 2001, a close friend said she thought G.W. was an evil man. I didn't think so then; but rather just considered him a politician who would do whatever it took to win an election. But at some point, as a citizen who is subject to the affects and effects of our President on the world, it doesn't really matter.
What does matter is the direct affect the policies and orientation of the President have on society. Bush has shown himself to be: a Greek Chuckle-boy who hands out nicknames to acquaintences; an uncertain CEO who has essentially nothing positive to show for his stewardship of his former businesses; a well documented disdain for handling disparate information; a willingness to surround himself with highly conservative social, religious, legal, and entertainment people; a preference for assisting well-to-do people and organizations that reflect his views combined with a drive to use any means at his disposal to destroy anyone who disagrees with his views.
I still do not think he is evil...nasty: yes; brutish: yes; short: yes; a black-and-white man in a grey world: yes; a pretender: yes; someone who I would invite into my home: no; an honest man: no; a statesman: no.
In short, he reminds me of a fellow I knew as a kid: Roger Hartlein, a bully who stopped growing at about age 12, and discovered the only way he could continue was to befriend older, bigger bullies who he could hide behind when the need arose. Pres. Bush strikes me as that person, just older; not as a strong leader, more like a bratish, mini-bully who is adept at manipulation. I want more for my country, and for my children. I'm not convinced Kerry will do a better job; but I am absolutely convinced Pres. Bush has failed as the Chief Executive Officer of America Inc., and must be replaced.
