Evil is in the eye of the beholder?

[kentuck]

I know that George W Bush has his followers. Almost like a cult, they believe in him. They believe his heart is in the right place. They believe he is a courageous leader. They believe he invaded Iraq for the right reasons. He did not lie about WMDs or nuclear threats intentionally. He believed what the Intelligence gave to him. He is a good Christian and would never lie. He only wants the Iraqi people to enjoy the same freedoms that we enjoy. They have a lot of faith in George W Bush and they trust his judgement without question.

However, when I look at George W Bush, I see an arrogant little man, too stubborn to get out of the rain. I see a Machivellian character who would do anything to win. Everything is a competition with him. Iraq is more about he and Saddam than it is about terrorism or WMDs or anything else. I see a smirking leader who will lie even when the truth is advantageous for him. He cannot tell the truth about anything. I see an evil person that is willing to let others die so long as it does not make him look bad. I see a psychopathic mind. There is nothing that I can admire about the man. He is stubborn - he is not resolute. He is a user and a manipulator. He is a giant of a bullshitter.

1. I agree with you.

I often wonder about the faith these people have in him that lets them defy reality.

2. You see a Machivellian character? Whoa, you'd compare that

putz to Ceasar Borgia, the man that 'The Prince' was modeled after?

I'd call him one of history's pathetic piles of animated excrement that it periodically shoots out to the everlasting shame of humankind. A 'person' that truly, unlike George Bailey, would have made the world a better place if he had never been born.

3. He is the Antibailey!

He also fits the terms antichrist, antighandi, and antieinstein.

4. He is a textbook psychopath with HIS own brand of 'charm',...........

HE will always be able to acquire plenty of willing and unwilling henchmen, patrons and pawns to support and execute HIS evil deeds.

5. That must be:

because with Dubya, it certainly isn't beauty.

6. I wouldn't buy a used toaster from Bush. Would his supporters?

Would anyone tolerate the twisting and spinning and renaming that has happened regarding Iraq, if say they had bought a car from him and it had a problem? I don't think that anyone would tolerate that kind of bullshit and attitude from a car dealer. Especially not for some three years after the fact.

The constant reason-changing for the Iraq invasion reminds one of the "Parrot Sketch" from Monty Python. I'm sure that Bush sees it that way. While his friends at Exxon make record profits over and over. The John Cleese character didn't get a refund either.
