Who would be an even worse president than George W. Bush?
I'll start with: Joe McCarthy or Henry Kissinger (Nevermind that Kissinger couldn't Constitutionally run. That doesn't stop these folks.)

Out of curiousity, who holds McCarthy's seat today. Anybody know?

18. ME!
Edited on Sat Aug-02-03 04:00 AM by devarsi
Without a doubt, I would SUCK at being the President.

I'm pretty sure that I'm a better person than GW, but I would not have the connections to fall back on to help me through the troubles. I'm not a politician at all, which means I would probably take policy stands that managed to piss off all my supporters and enemies alike--simultaneously.

I am not liberal enough to please Democrats, and not conservative enough to please the RePukes, too religious to please the secular crowd, and too damn pagan to please the Christians. I'm also a vegetarian, which seems to make everyone unhappy and suspicious.

Plus, under such presures, I would age like Dorian Grey's picture.

Oh, and I really would steal all the Ws from the Whitehouse keyboards (I was upset when I found out that the Clinton crew didn't really do this, I thought it a great joke).

Edited because I was asleep the first time I typed it....

32. mine
Of persons eligible to be president (alive, 35 years old and born in the U.S.), my picks for worse would be:

-Rummy
-Wolfowitz
-Perle
-Savage (talk show host whose name says it all)
-possibly Cheney
-Al Sharpton (the others are right extremists; had to include a left extremist)

Come on Ann Coulter would no doubt be worse than W. By now she would have executed vearly every Liberal in congress just to show liberal traitors that, "see you can be killed too."

Seriously though, I did security for a Punk Rock show the other week and one of the bands was a skinhead white supremacy group. Me and one of the other security guards were trashing Bush and we got into it with some of these Skinheads. These kids with swaztikas tatooed on there chests were defending Bush vehemently. They even went so far as to say he was one of them, that Bush has been chosen to lead the Aryan race to world domination for a thousand years. I asked a little about what they meant and they were trying to say that Bush is a fan of Hitler like themselves and he is continuing Hitler's work. Now these were just a bunch of young idiots and most punk rock fans are intelligent and non racist people, but the neo-natzis and skinheads as a whole are probably fairly pleased with who we have in office right now.

has taken power of the country -- * is just the mouthpiece. But it's the lot of them: Cheney, Rummy, Wolfie, Condi, Rovie, Asskrofft, etc. etc. ad nauseum. Doesn't matter which one of them stands behind the Presidential Seal, the horrifying results are the same.

Gary Busey - brain damage
Steven Seagal - can't beat up heads of state you dislike
The Church Lady - just too ickey
John Madden - even with a telestrator, refuses to fly
Mike Tyson - can't bite other heads of state
James Brown - impossible to translate into even French

and of course

Jeff Sessions. Antonin "I miss the divine right of kings" Scalia.

Also, Metallica would be pretty bad. Goodbye MP3s. And Kid Rock would be right out.
