Poll question: Bush... Puppet or evil? |
|
Just wondering what people believe these days... Is Bush as aware of his evil ways as Rove/Cheney/Etc., or are they just using him for their own plans?

2. Coldly callous and aristocratic is more like it |
|
with a heaping helping of egomania, delusions of grandeur and sociopathy regarding others of Lower Birth than the Imperial Family or the Amerikan Aristocracy.
In other words: Were the French aristocrats who ran over peasant children in the streets because they thought them not to be human, evil?
Same people as the Emperor*, IMHO.

He would still do evil if he were on his own, but Rove/Cheney are manipulating him to do much more evil than he would be capable of y himself.

of Cheney and the mega-corps and the PNAC loonies. He's also a cold hearted bastard who gets off on having people killed and doesn't give a shit about anyone but himeslef (typical Republican in other words.)

9. ignorant, misinformed, incompetent... |
|
but he is surrounded by extremely evil and manipulative people like Cheney and Rumsfeld... he's not a puppet in the sense that he signs whatever they tell him to. I think Dubya makes up his own mind, but his decisions are heavily influenced by his junta. At the end of the day, HE'S the president and his word matters.
When it comes to economic and military matters. I believe he thinks he's doing the right thing. He may or may not be evil, but I don't think an active wickedness motivates his policies. I just think he's terribly ignorant, incompetent, and terrible swayed by bankrupt ideologies (laissez faire capitalism, right wing christianity, and the neo-con foreign policy).

10. Just remember him laughing at Karla Faye Tucker |
|
when she begged for her life and appealed to Bush's born-again Christianity. He mocked her on Larry King. He is EVIL.
