Negative Points
- Anti-environment
- Conservative Christian outlook (this is being filed under negative for now, but if someone wants to defend it...)
- Lied about his intentions in invading Iraq, claiming there was strong evidence of WMDs when it seems clear that there was none
- Responded to violence (9/11) with violence (unsanctioned invasion of a non-involved country)
- Against same-sex marriage
Positive Points
- Removed Saddam Hussein from power
- Pushed ahead with reconstruction in Iraq when popular opinion was against occupation after the first few weeks. (If you want to see how pulling out of reconstruction early due to public demand has disastrous results, look at the curtailed reconstruction of Vietnam, for instance)
- Disarmed Libya of its chemical, nuclear, biological WMDs.
- Signed largest nuclear arm reduction ever with Russia.
- States his personal views and governs with his morals (A somewhat-positive flipside to the somewhat-negative Conservative Christian outlook)
- Republican
Debatable Points
- Supportive of big business (part of the United States Republican Party platform)
- Pushed the No Child Left Behind Act
- Pushed for family-centric reforms (e.g., reformed adoption laws, requiring adopting parents to have background checks before getting children)
Opinions
- 2005-09-03: "My wife, a dual British-Australian citizen, says that in any civilized country, the massive failure of the Bush administration would bring down the government. It is not so simple. Emperor Bush II, after all, came into office by a coup, and consolidated power 4 years later (involving election machine software as well as more traditional fraud). In the process, he betrayed (1) the Bush family (firing the remnants of his Dad's friends from Cabinet-level and the next rung down), and recall that Bush Senior fought to SAVE the wetlands around New Orleans; (2) the rump-state of the Republican party (which had been nominally run by the technocrat Goldwater, whose election failure led to the takeover by the anti-government Reagan wing, which in turn was displaced by the current anti-Science Imperial Theocrats; (3) the country (as reconfirmed by the Gulf Coast fiasco); (4) the World (unilateralism, Iraq, Bolton in UN, etc.); (5) the universe (see Anti-Science, supra)" [1]
- 2005-09-01: "Impeach George Bush. Impeach him now." [2]
