Is this or is this not the worst administration in our history?

[Dees]

We've had Hoover and Harding and a few other notables. But in my life time the Bu$h and bastids win hands down.

I was glued to the TV for months when Watergate was the big deal. After Smellhouse Nixon resigned I said then...this is as bad as it gets. But no...out of the darkness rides Ronald Raygun. It was impossible to get any worse than that bumblenuts. But no..here we are. Nixon, Raygun and goons were corrupt and dishonest to the bone. But I do seriously believe in my heart that the current Rethug line up is truly as bad as it will ever get. Tell me I'm right, please.

1. It Is The Worst, Mr. Dees

"LET'S GO GET THOSE BUSH BASTARDS!"

[spindrifter]

2. If It's Not, Then We Are in Deep Doo-doo

[ChairmanAgnostic]

9. we ARE in deep doodoo. And if this is not the worst,

stop the whirled. I wanna get off.

3. The Entitlement Of The Landed Gentry Knows No Bounds

Of poor taste and demeanor.

[ReadTomPaine]

4. Certainly in anything resembling modern history.

You should have made your post a poll!

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

5. If it isn't, I hope I never live to see a worse one.

[Bok_Tukalo]

6. Buchanan is still the standard

Bush doesn't quite measure up.

[stevietheman]

24. I agree... I think Buchanan will always be the worst. Dubya is 2nd worst.

then Nixon, then Harding, then Hoover.

[gademocrat7]

7. You are absolutely right.

[Hissyspit]

8. 'tis

[mmonk]

10. Seems to be to me

Wish it seemed so to the rest of the US including half the dems still trying to immulate them or carry on with their policies.

[ClayZ]

11. It is indeed, the worst!

They have no heart, no soul, no mercy, no remorse.

13. Chimp is more like a terrible Roman emperor than any US President

Nero is always fiddling in Bushworld. One can imagine him imagining putting horse or a dog in charge of a department. He thinks about minorities the same way.

[ClayZ]

18. Handcuffs for all of them! Mr. Fitzgerald, where are you?

I seriously want them tried for "Crimes Against Humanity" and jailed for life if not worse.

Each day that goes by, gives them a chance to do more harm.

[EstimatedProphet]

12. Hell, it's one of the worst in WORLD history!

You have to go way way back to find a leader that was as bad to his own country as Bush. John Lackland or Nero maybe.

[Double T]

14. The ABSOLUTE WORSTEST!!!!!

Just so there is no misunderstanding!!!!

[Kahuna]

15. Reagan's was actually the most corrupt. They knew that reagan

was asleep at the switch and ran completely amuck.

[leftofthedial]

16. Worst, by far

Also most corrupt, by far

the sick feeling in the pit of my stomach is due to the significant percentage of Murkans who still approve.

[nadinbrzezinski]

17. Worst in modenr History

I think it will be a debate for historians between these boys and President Andy Jackson

[mcscajun]

19. Without question, the Absolute Worst. Barn None.

Warren G. Harding, move the hell over. Calvin Coolidge, take a seat in the back, please.

Sure it's like hearing that ice is cold, but when 4 out of 5 historians agree, ears perk up. Stephen writes: "HNN surveyed 415 historians and, without hanging chads or un-auditable electronic voting machines, the answer is at hand. Yes. Yes he certainly is ." Want specifics? Historians wrote: "In terms of affable incompetence the worst since Harding...In terms of general lassitude and cluelessness, the worst since Coolidge..." (News For Real)

Harding also filled his cabinet with a combination of old cronies and top industry officials. Muckraker H.L. Mencken described Harding's cabinet as "three highly intelligent men of self-interest, six jackasses and one common crook."

(snip)

Harding named his friend and campaign boss Harry Daugherty, Attorney General. Bush named his friend and campaign fund-raiser Texas Oilman Don Evans, Secretary of Commerce.

(snip)

Before being appointed Secretary of Interior, Albert Fall had called for the abolition of the Department of Interior.

Before being appointed Secretary of Energy, Spencer Abraham had called for the abolition of the Department of Energy.

Sound familiar?

28. Damn. That shoulda been "Bar None."

Guess I got carried away. :)

[SharonRB]

20. It's definitely the worst in my lifetime

How I long for the good old days of Tricky Dicky. I really didn't think it could get worse, but it has -- and keeps getting worse every day.

[DemGirl7]

21. I think it's the worst

but I'm only in my early 20's, so I haven't lived through much. But my mom who is in her middle 50's, told me that this the worst presidential administration she has ever lived through, and she through both Nixon and Regan, both who she couldn't stand.

[Ishoutandscream2]

22. I really believe Bush has surpassed Pierce, Ol Buck, Harding, and Nixon

At least the gentlemen listed above had some kind of intellectual curiosity (opps, my bad, not Harding). Bush is not only the dumbest, but we will find out the most crooked president in our nation's history.

[madokie]

23. Several of these thugs "whitehouse insiders"

have been doing OJT since way back to nixon and raygun. Worst ever

[Arkham House]

25. Wilson Was the Worst

Wilson was an unreconstructed racist who stripped blacks of rights they had gained, especially US government workers...he was a racial reactionary even by the undemanding standards of the Teens. He bellowed about "neutrality", but flagrantly winked at Britain's illegal blockade of Germany, and at US financial support of the Allies...then screamed like a stuck pig when Germany, not surprisingly, regarded our "neutrality" as a sham. He got us involved in the lunatic abattoir on the Western Front, while taking the opportunity to crush the vibrant Radical-Socialist movement with the help of his new Republican "friends". He initiated a massive assault on the Bill of Rights, all in the name of a war which didn't threated the US in the slightest...as opposed to Lincoln, who guaranteed as many rights to the people as he possibly could, in a war which threatened our very national existence. He cold-bloodedly persecuted anyone who stood against him, often for reasons of sheer personal pique. He totally failed to get any sort of reasonable peace at Versailles, caving in to the European imperialists in their loot grabbing, showing his blatant naivete all the while. He cried about the poor, wicked Republicans in the Senate going against his League of Nations, though he could have saved the treaty at any time by agreeing to the slightest compromises. After this led to a psychotic breakdown, he basically let his wife run the country, despite his being obviously unfit for office. The moment Gertmany was beaten, he transferred his witch hunts from "Germans" to "Reds", with hardly a moment for pause, using the sdame men and the same methods or tyranny. And he remained vindictive to the end, refusing to pardon Debs--a task the (unfairly) maligned Harding was willing to do. All in all, the lies of Wilson, and his abuse of his powers, dwarves Bush, utterly evil as Bush is.

26. by a country mile . . . although calling them an administration . . .

misses the point . . . in reality, BushCo is a vast criminal enterprise that has hijacked the US presidency and is using it to enrich themselves and their corrupt corporate sponsors . . . these guys make the Mafia look like amateurs . . .

[Dees]

27. Nixon and Kissinger did some rotten Vietnam related things

to prolong the conflict. Nixon said in 68 he had a secret plan to end the war and that he didn't deserve a second chance in four years if the war was not ended. He kicked the crap out of McGovern in 72. George was a hero of mine. Tricky God Damn Dick and Reagan with his all of his corruption and Iran/Contra scandal still don't hold a candle to this current bunch of desparados.
