I get a bit fuzzy on presidents before the Great War, but Bush is UNDOUBTEDLY worse than Nixon. Nixon boosted and dragged out the vietnam war (Ironically his platform was to get OUT of nam.) but he didn't START it. Not to mention he largely carried it on and on at the insistance of his diabolical advisor Henry Kissinger, may he suffer every form of earthly misery and pain. However, the real root of the animosity you get from people of that generation when the name is mentioned results from Watergate. Just a brief summary.. President hires lackeys to break into DNC yada yada, cover-up, secret political slush find, cronyism, etc.. Bush STARTED not one but TWO wars, (Three if you count the asenine 'War on Terror.") Instigated the most grotesque violations of constitutional rights since COINTELPRO and the FBI's KAOS in the sixties, rescinded habeas corpus, started disappearing people to gitmo, brought back torture, f***, I can remember a quote from one of the founding fathers something like "We have left the thumbscrew and the rack behind in old europe." APPARENTLY he missed that memo. (Did I forget to mention that the Iraq war is a violation of the Nuremberg Codes?) Not to mention his efforts to insulate the executive branch from all oversight possibly permenantly damaging democracy in this country, and let's not forget shit for brains sitting on his hands during katrina, and 9/11, which might not have happened had he paid close attention to the in condi's words "Ambiguous" titled document "AL Qaeda DETERMINED TO ATTACK USING PLANES IN U.S." You'd have to be sherlock holmes to figure that out, huh??? And let's not forget the mini scandals, firing us attorneys MID TERM which has NEVER been done before, the outing of valerie plame someone who was REALLY protecting us from terrorists because her husband told the TRUTH!!!, the connections between him and Abramoff and Kenneth Lay, his attempts to turn this country into a THEOCRACY, and one of my biggest peevs the forgotten covering over of the foley scandal. Coulter, Gingrich all the rest, these so-called concerned christians ganging up to protect a goddamn PEDOPHILE!!! I may be an atheist, but Something tells me jesus isn't down with that. Nixon has NEVER looked this good. Verdict: Theres' a Place In Hell For Bush and His Friends.
