Why did Bush ruin the country?

[ProSense]

Deep Thought



Greed?

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

1. because he can. n/t

[WI_DEM]

2. it's his usual pattern. He never succeeded at anything.

[grantcart]

3. Because he has a twisted insatiable desire to out perform his father

Which is completely different than McCain who has a twisted insatiable desire to outperform his father and grandfather

[Blue_Roses]

4. because he's an idiot.

[El Supremo]

5. He helped "his" country

The upper class.

[JuniperLea]

16. Country Club First! eom

[billyoc]

6. His father's friends told him to, for money.

[WinkyDink]

7. Yes, greed. that is all. Period. EOS. LOOTING. Oh, and changing laws to install Fascism and

devastate the American Dream, both politically and socially. But getting beyond-Croesus wealthy, for himself, Cheney, and all his brothers, cronies, and owners (e.g., Saudi royals; Chinese; Carlyle group).

And by "owners", I mean "owners."

[npincus]

8. Dr. Justin Frank has written he cannot control his destructive impulse

"B*sh on the Couch".

[HughBeaumont]

9. He lies, he cheats, he steals. He's a Bewsh. That's how he rolls.

[spinbaby]

10. Because Cheney told him to n/t

[gravity]

11. Stupidity

[melody]

12. BushCo has been plotting our destruction for decades

They've killed our Presidents and other pro-American-people leaders, they've perpetrated mass scandals intended to destroy our image in the world, and Bush and his forebears took over the CIA and turned it into an all-too-evil tool. Their job was to destroy the US and build up some other region of the world and a select group of people in it (because Constitutional democracy is supposedly dangerous). When observing "for whom it is good", it's pretty easy to determine the likely culprit, especially with the putative Bush blue blood ... all of this just mho of course.

[Cronopio]

13. To prove his power to himself. You can't do good and "get away with it."

Being sodomized in college with a broomstick by his friends probably had a lot to do with his current beliefs.

[apnu]

14. Because the American electorate is stupid

And to quote Forest Gump "Stupid is as stupid does"

2000 should have been a total blowout. But enough people bought into that aww-shucks bullshit of the Chimp and we've got what we got. These same rubes were the ones who were falling for Palin's bullshit but I think enough of them are waking up thanks to the shocking economy and the Wall Street meltdown.

[damntexdem]

15. Hey, don't underestimate him.

He still has four more months to completely ruin the world, too.

[Orsino]

17. Too much power.

We knew he was going to fail, of course, and leave us in debt--Texas was just a training ground. If Congress and the Supreme Court had any guts, however, he would never have been able to do nearly as much damage.

[Nay]

18. As I have written before -- because he is a SOCIOPATH. He enjoys

seeing others suffer, and seeing a whole country suffer -- well, I'm sure his masturbatory fantasies these days are pretty satisfying--for him, that is.

[falcon97]

19. It's the only thing he does well. n/t

[Jennicut]

20. He can't help it, he has run everything he was ever in charge of into to ruin

He just is not very good at "executive experience". Plus he is greedy and likes cronies and hanger ons and he is a dumbass and a real asshole. That about covers it.

[mvd]

21. I think you're right - it all comes down to greed and power

:hi:

[ProSense]

22. Together,

they bring out the evil in people.

[Starry Messenger]

23. $$$$$

I think Rove, et. al. sat down with a calculator and figured out how much they could funnel away before the American people started to squawk.

[JimWis]

24. Self Delete - duplicate

[Starry Messenger]

26. Yep.

And America was their ATM.

[Clio the Leo]

25. because we let him get elected twice......

..... all the more reason to make sure McCain doesn't.

[JimWis]

27. He was just Cheney's puppet.

[seemunkee]

28. It's all he knows

[firedupdem]

29. He is not a very bright person and he surrounded himself with

other not so bright people who are willing to always say "yes" to him. Very dangerous combination. I liked the fact that Obama said he wanted Biden because he wanted someone to challenge him and make him think and not always agree with him.

[iamthebandfanman]

30. i dunno if u noticed but

oil sure is expensive...

and given his background...and his families background... and his friends background...

we got two wars going on...
if you look at ole Dicks backbround ... and his families background.... and his friends background...


i think youll find all the answers youd ever wanna know.

a guy whos family makes money off of oil.
and a guy who makes money off of war.

by the way tho, they both make money off of war... good ole industrial military complex that bushes invested in along time ago. bushs grandfather even sold stuff to the nazis in ww2.

[jazzjunkysue]

31. Because his mother is psychotic and his father was absent.

Besides, why would any of his ventures work out when all the others had failed?

The man's a total and complete failure. He will go down in history as the worst mistake we ever made.

[anigbrowl]

32. For the lulz.

Someone had to say it.

[EndElectoral]

33. "Greed is Good." - Gordon Gecko

[iceman66]

34. A combination of factors.

Greed, incompetence, stubbornness, arrogance, and a lack of curiosity.
