    I think you people are nuts, as bad as Bush and Carter was I think Johnson was worse.
    What was the casualty count during the Vietnam war?
    And some scream over the casualty count of today!

    But truthfully, to argue over who is the worst president is pointless.
    Both parties have let us down, both sides are responsible for cutting the military to where we don't have enough personal to run a war.
    Both parties have let us down on immigration, perfect example is a democratic
    congress and republican president giving amnesty to illegals just like Ronald Reagan and the democrat congress did in the 80's.

    Neither side will tackle the real issues such as social security, border security
    or immigration, they would rather tackle steroids in baseball and a TB patient
    who was lucky enough to make it over the border.
    Anybody who made and voted for this amnesty bill should be voted out of office from both sides, sobs!
    Whether republican or democrat, if i performed my job like Congress does I would be fired!

    I knew you would bring up the Camp David Accord. Yes, he did broker that accord. And then put it on the back burner like he did everything else, and forgot about its implimentation. Carter had a short attention span. He would focus on one thing for a while, then put it on the back burner and let it die. That is what happened to the Camp David Accord.

    Lei it die? I'm not sure what you mean? The Accords led directly to the 1979 Israel-Egypt Peace Treaty.

    The sooner the rest of the voting public realizes this and starts voting for a candidate instead of a party the sooner we will have politicians in office mentally capable of solving the countries current and future problems.

    Maybe you mean a 3rd party candidate?
    Seriously, I don't think it makes a difference otherwise.
    Whether you vote along party lines or candidates, they all fall in line once they reach that city, party affiliation and principles.
    Whatever they ran for is forgotten and special interest takes over.

    I meant in the minority as to choice #2 of the poll. I fully realize that support for Bush has waned to the point that he's nearly a pariah, but not everyone has the unreasonable hatred for the man that Red seems to have.

    Well, he did take on a killer rabbit without Secret Service's help. That's damn impressive. And, he got Anwar Sadat killed. Some would say that's an accomplishment. One of the Bush detractor's biggest complaint is that he's destroyed American prestige among our allies. Carter had 'em belly laughing in the aisles.

    I used to think that the people who advocated this position were absolutely correct. However, after the elections of right-wing, America friendly pols in France, Germany, and Canada, I'm starting to change my mind. Seems that if America was such a pariah, then America-friendly politicians would be soundly defeated.

    Never once have I said that I hate Bush because I don't. In fact, I think he's a likeable fellow. I could go fishing with him or split a 12-pack and watch a football game and enjoy myself.

    I simply think he's an incompetent President. Perhaps the worst we've ever had in over a century. My non-support of Bush is not based on hate, but on his performance, which is wretched.

    It was a fierce swamp hare and a Palestinian terrorist! :grin:
