George W. Bush: President George
built 627 days ago
As he began his War Against Evil, George W. Bush peppered every speech with the name of Osama Bin Laden, telling the American people that the wars were necessary in order to capture the "eviloder." Now that he has failed to even find, much less get rid of Osama Bin Laden, George W. Bush refuses to mention his name in his speeches. America needs a President who doesn't try to restate the goals of his wars when things don't go his way.

George W. Bush worked on his father's successful 1988 presidential campaign and then organized the purchase of the Texas Rangers baseball franchise in 1989 with a group of partners. He was the managing general partner of the Texas Rangers until he was elected Governor of Texas on November 8, 1994. He became the first Texas governor to be elected to consecutive four-year terms when he was reelected in 1998.

George W. Bush has authorized the American ruler of Iraq, Paul Bremer, to hire Saddam Hussein's Mukhabarat government agents. The Mukhabarat agents were infamous for their brutal repression of the Iraqi people during the rule of the Baath Party, administering a reign or terror that helped keep Saddam Hussein in power. Now, instead of prosecuting these goons as the criminals that they are, George W. Bush has hired them to help him put the people of Iraq in their place again. Can America trust a President who is willing to use the most cruel torturers available to keep himself in power?

In 1996, Bush was summoned to jury duty in a Travis County, Texas drunk driving case. His counsel, Alberto R. Gonzales, successfully argued that, as governor, Bush might one day be called to pardon the defendant, and that this should excuse him from sitting on the jury. When Bush's 1976 summary conviction for driving under the influence was made public during the 2000 presidential campaign, Democrat Ken Oden, the prosecutor of the 1996 case, re-examined the case and revealed that Bush's juror questionnaire left blank the question whether he had ever been accused in a criminal case. The prosecutor said, "With all the new information that has come forward, it's logical to see that there may have been motives at work that none of us knew about." He concluded that Bush had "used his position as governor" to avoid disclosing the information, because the conviction was neither included on the written form nor mentioned by Gonzales. The prosecutor added, "I feel I was directly deceived."

President George W. Bush has done it once more. He’s taken the Constitution and pretty much shredded it this time. He wiped his backside with it over wire tapping, tromped on it over the Patriot Act and pretty much stuffed it in the trash with his personal war in Iraq.

In the 2004 election, Bush won a second term, an electoral majority, and ... received 3.5 million popular votes more than his Democratic challenger, Senator John Kerry. Bush was the first presidential candidate since his father, George H.W. Bush in 1988 to receive a majority of the popular vote. (The intervening elections had seen stronger showings by non-major party candidates such as Ross Perot and Ralph Nader.) His margin over Kerry of about 3 percent was the smallest popular vote margin for a re-elected President since Woodrow Wilson's 1916 victory. As in the 2000 election, there were charges raised alleging voting improprieties, especially in Ohio. In 2004 they did not lead to recounts that were expected to affect the result, but led to a civil case challenging the result.
