1. Well.....you can't
say he isn't leading. It just isn't the direction most people would want to go.

2. Rhetorical Judo.
Using the opponent's momentum to your favor. If Preznit * wants to make himself a leader, show how he's led us into a dark alley and ran like hell.

I like it.

5. Leader isn't a positive word
Edited on Mon Jun-27-05 12:53 AM by DELUSIONAL
I believe that leader is really a neutral word --

There are great leaders -- poor leaders --

Bush will go down in history is a "leader" who brought out the very worst in his cult followers. This will be a sorry ass period of world history --

And there were the leaders who opposed bush -- will history see these leaders as strong leaders?

Kerry is going down as a piss poor "leader" -- when he could have made a difference -- he backed down and let the world suffer. When he could have stood up and exposed the bushie lies about the invasion of Iraq (and perhaps other countries) he remained silent. So far this is how history will see Kerry -- unless he finds his spine. Will he?

We need a great leader who will pull us out of Iraq -- and who will lead the search for new forms of energy to get past the world's dependency on OIL. I doubt that this can happen without a visionary leader -- who will this person be?

Also -- in bushie we see someone who consistently makes the WRONG choices -- his choice of friends, advisers (parents) -- Iraq is a text book of what NOT to do.

Ah yes -- ultimately when most of the cult members wake up some will admit that bushie was never a leader -- he just was a perfect illusion of a leader.

14. A leader of "Mass Destruction," maybe. He's his own "WMD"
nasty, snipey, vindictive clueless idiot surrounded by either pandering sychophants or sociopaths. :-(

17. He has a MOST DREDFUL Record....but the "Media Whores" are now
totally in control...of those who control him...and so...they give him "pass after pass after pass." They think we are shells on the beach or flotsam we will just "ebb and flow" and since they control the tides...they control us...we are just "things...to be manipulated...go away...we don't see you.

:shrug:

Until their "butt get's bit" by what they ignored.

21. His record is such even the Pub Media must acknowledge with
Comments unkind to the SHRUB.

People are now seeing what they thought they would never see...The Wilting of a President....Not since Nixon did the Wilt Factor come into play.....Now we see one coming soon to a theater near you...

19. Bush couldn't lead his way out of a wet dream...
This clown is definitely not a leader. He is going to go down in history as one of the worst, if not the worst, president ever!!

Everything he touches turns to shit.
