Poll question: What one quality best defines the government under Bush? |
|
Edited on Fri Nov-02-07 02:39 PM by JackRiddler
In your view, what ONE quality best defines the essence of the government under the Bush administration?
(List is alphabetical; good qualities excluded because this is Democratic Underground. Choosing one does not mean you exclude any of the others.)
Clarifications welcome.
(ON EDIT: On recommendation added ideology at bottom of list, at a stage when the option it replaces still had zero.)

1. Greed first with dangerous amounts of stupidity, incompetence, and cronyism. |
|
Any "good intentions" are self help in the name of the public good.

3. Can we call that one greed? |

It's certainly the motivator for corruption, no?

4. Why not "All of the above?" I chose 'other.' n/t |

7. Sure, each applies to some extent, the question is |
|
which is really for you the defining quality; it's important because it defines your reaction to the group as a whole.

Good and evil aren't even part of the equation for the amoral.
