Would Australia be a better country if George W Bush was Prime Minister of Australia? (2 Viewers)

[Sathius005]

Bush privatized a lot of government businesses, gave a massive tax cut to the mega rich, cut the pension and unemployment benefits, African Americans were very disenfranchised over his tenure in power, his nation committed war crimes in Afghanistan and Iraq, crime increased, the gap between the rich and the poor reached epic proportions, upgraded electronic surveillance and his country became very ashamed that he was the President of America.

Bush privatized a lot of government businesses

name 3 without using google

gave a massive tax cut to the mega rich,

how big was the cut

cut the pension and unemployment benefits,

what in particualr are you referring to and by how much did he cut them?

African Americans were very disenfranchised over his tenure in power

name one policy that contributed to this

his nation committed war crimes in Afghanistan and Iraq

the wars had bipartisan support both in the US and in other western nations

crime increased,

flat-out wrong

crime had been decreasing before his presidential terms and it continued doing so during them

the gap between the rich and the poor reached epic proportions,

income inequality has been growing for decades, and the rate of growth in inequality actually decreased once he became preisdent

upgraded electronic surveillance

true, but obama has continued his surveillance policies and expanded some of them

and his country became very ashamed that he was the President of America.

It's a shame that the greatest president who ever lived, George W. Bush, was hated because he was a white heterosexual christian male. Just look at all he accomplished:

-Killed Saddam Hussien
-Prevented a second depression
-Saved the economy from the Dot-com bubble
-Lowered taxes for everyone
-Saved New Orleans
-Prevented future terrorist attacks from occurring
-expanded and reformed medicare
-Expanded K-12 education so that no child gets left behind

Saddam Hussein was just a dictator. He wasn't going to destroy the world or anything.

We already have a George W Bush. His name is Tony Abbott.

correct

Prime Minister Abbott is a wise, noble man and the greatest leader in his country's history

Re: Would Australia be a better country if George W Bush was Prime Minister of Austra

Tony Abbott's popularity plummets as LNP voters discover just how bad he is at running the country. If an election was held now Labor would win according to Nielsen. Tony Abbott is going to be one of the worst Prime Ministers in Australian history, history will not be kind to him. He is utterly incompetent. Bring on the election. We want an Election now.

You have to know that most of them polls aren't very useful. You could make one of them polls in Rudd's or Gillard's hometown's and get a random mix of votes. It is more of an approximation than an accuracy.

My opinion: In order to keep Australia's economy and social issues in balance, each party should have 3 years, or in some circumstances, 6 years of prime-ministry, which alternate. That has worked for Australia in the past.


By the way, reply to my PM.

Yeah I guess burning up oil fields for shits and giggles and destroying the Euphrates and Tigris irrigation system didn't cause any detrimental effects to the world right.

Yeah I guess he was "just a dictator" when the whole middle east wanted that fucker removed from power. He's so fucking crazy the Saudis and Israeli's worked together to stop his shenanigans by bombing his nuclear facilities in the early 80s.

Lol @ Afghanistan comment Sathius, somebody fucking forgot 9/11 from occuring right? Iraq might have been legally questionable but Afghanistan war is completely legitimate.

Don't forget to add killing thousands of civilians and covering it up...

I've always understood those polls were random and not based on statistics. They were just based on polls made by a group of randoms.
Can you link me to how they actually get their magic numbers in the poll?
