Hate those people with opposing views, don't you...

[Cain]

Moi?

[chaosgraves:agentoferis]

In my mind the worst prisident will always be Benjamin Harrison.

[Voice of Truth]

He signed anti-trust legislation into law.  What was so bad about that?

[Hoshiko]

You're all wrong. It was FDR.

He ate children in his spare time.


- Hoshiko (would still rather have him for president)

[Voice of Truth]

I forgot about that...

My personal pick might be LBJ.  Other than civil rights legislation which he deserves a lot of props for, his whole "Great Society" amounted to more New Deal style gov't programs run amuck.  He also actually DID lie to get this country into the war (Gulf of Tonkin) and when you listen to his tapes he comes off as one corrupt SOB.  He befriended Jackie Kennedy simply to use her as a political advantage.  He was dirty.  But for real, I'll give it to him on the civil rights thing.  He didn't back down from that fight.

[Cain]

But he had character!

[Voice of Truth]

Bush has character, but we know how you guys feel about him...

[Cain]

Bush has character, but we know how you guys feel about him...

No, LBJ had character.  Bush is a character.  Important distinction.

[East Coast Hustle]

VoT is quite correct...Bush II is not the worst president we've ever had, nor is Reagan the second worst...Reagan's administration was far more evil than Bush's in its intent, it was just thwarted by an american populace that had not yet completely lost its taste for freedom...Bush is not quite competent enough to be truly evil, but he's had the good fortune to inherit an America that has degenerated into nothing more than a swarm of mewling, obese, ADD-afflicted, TV-obsessed MORONS...so I rank Reagan worst and Bush, while he is certainly a problem, might not even make the top 5....however, if we're ranking attorneys general or secretaries of state, his choices on that front are right at the top of a "worst ever" list...

[Voice of Truth]

[Cain]

I raise you

Isn't that the point? It's not intention, it's impact. Having a sadist for an AG will have a huge impact in the long run, you watch.

Which makes GW worse than Reagan (or better, depending on your political affiliation).

Coulda woulda shoulda is not really a factor in this contest.

[Voice of Truth]

It is kind of funny that you see an AG who thwarted several terrorist plots and kept us free from any significant terrorist attacks in the midst of a war on terror as well as avidly pursuing criminals involved in gun related crime as evil.  You also see an AG who believes we should continuously re-evaluate our policies in regards to protecting this nation as evil as well.

Meanwhile, do you guys remember many other AG's that you are comparing them to, because I sure don't.  AG's aren't something that stick out in your head much, unless it's a Bobby Kennedy or something.  I find it funny there's no mention of Janet Reno's AG Office that did far more to stonewall investigations and hide information than any in history.  Furthermore, they were responsible for the WACO and Ruby Ridge debacles.  They did nothing to pursue gun crime prosecutions and instead spent their time calling for more stringent gun laws (how about you enforce the one's you've got and them come back later...)  Go Reno!!  No mention of any of that, but Ashcroft and Gonzalez, now there's some bad guys.

I call your bluff and raise you again...
