32. Dubya is political toxic waste for the rest of his life
Mon Jan 28, 2013, 09:56 AM
Jan 2013

He's the worst President ever to us on the left with an endless stream of crimes committed against our nation and people of the world.

But its even trickier on the right. Bush is a RINO Big Government debt creator to the fiscal Tea Baggers. The Paul-Bots despise his failed neocon nation building foreign policies. The fear filled close the border crowd hate him for his immigration efforts. What's left? People on the Christian right may say a few nice things but many fall in the categories above. Few care for him and at this point NONE of them want him in the open as a reminder of how GOP led government works. Simply put Dubya is a nasty skidmark on the GOP brand that they can't bleach out soon enough.

I personally feel he never wanted the true "job" of being President and dealing with the intracancies of being the most powerful person invthe world. He probably thought it'd be as easy as being Governor of Texas (how hard is it to take a hatchet to government, sign off on Death Penalties, make Jesus day, and coast along with little Democrat opposition?). Didn't work that way and I think it made him a bitter man that doesn't understand why most people hate him.
