Please vote in this poll
Edited on Sun Dec-19-04 03:28 PM by Clark2008
Don't know if you know it, but TIME has picked the War pResident as Man of the Year.

Go show that you disagree with their choice. We had voted it down to about only 56 percent in favor of the decision, down from 69 percent. The Freepers have since found it and have it back up to 68 percent in favor.

http://www.time.com/time/personoftheyear/2004/story.html

Go there and scroll down the left-hand column.

I realize that the MOTY can be a devisive bastard since TIME had once picked both Hitler and Stalin, but the language in the body of the story (ie: "clear victory" and "uncompromising leadership") makes it sound as though TIME considers this an honor.

So go VOTE!!

Maybe this time it will count.


Edited for clarity

1. "For sticking to his guns..."
What a bunch of partisan bullshit.

Its because Bush "sticks to his guns" that over 1,200 American soldiers are dead, countless thousands of Iraqi's are dead, and Osama is still a free man.

10. You can send an e-mail to the editor on the same page.
I sent him this "I hope that you are not considering it to be an Honor to be named man of the year.
Your choice is disgusting but as I have been reminded, TIME also picked Hitler and Stalin previously. So I guess that this year's choice has to be seen in this context.
Your decision has now led me to never ever purchase your magazine again. I cannot believe that you could find no better man in a world population of 6 billion than the one you picked. I do not hate the man as hating people who are reality challenged amounts in my view to discrimination, but I have to say that you must judge a man by his actions or inactions and the useless killing of Iraqis civilians amounts to a war crime for which history will harshly judge him. Your magazine will be judged along the same lines for its complicity. As the editor of one of the world's most renowned news magazine you should be ashamed of your choice, which will once again reflect the partisan line that TIME has been following for the last four years, and show the world that America only cares about its own.
Once again shame on you."

12. Bush is the man of the year.
He has been the focal point of the past year, how can you argue with this selection?
