I do agree that for the other two it would mean certain death but what has Bush done to damage our country?
1. He's supported out-sourcing of jobs to other countries.
2. He's created the largest debt in this country's history, most of which is "absorbed" by China and other countries that buy our debt - meaning that we are quickly becoming "owned" by other countries.
3. He took a surplus at the beginning of his "reign" and turned it into a massive deficiet - see Number 2, above, for the damage.
4. He's erroded civil rights.
5. He's effectively murdered over 2,500 Americans by lying to the country about the need to invade Iraq - knowing that the "justifications" were false at the time he made them.
6. He's killed most international trust and cooperation, which is making it exteremly difficult to gain the needed support of other countries (Russia and China, particularly) when we need it most - in the negotiations with Iran and North Korea.
7. As noted, he's increased the number of individuals below the poverty level, and he's reduced the discretionary spending ability of the middle class by instituting tax cuts that primarily benefit the super rich and corporations.
8. He cut taxes - taxes for the wealthy and corporations - at the same time he lied to the American people about the need to invade a country that had no WMDs, no terroist training camps, no capability to harm the U.S, no ties to al-Quida, and that did not participate or contribute to 9/11 - thereby ensuring massive debt.
9. He continues to try and benefit the wealthy and harm the middle class by pushing for the abolishment of the Estate Tax - a tax that is paid by less than 1% of all Americans.
10. He lied to both Congress and the American people about the cost of the Medicare Prescription Drug Plan. He claimed the cost would be less than $500,000,000 dollars - and did so because his own party stated that would not pass the bill if it exceeded those costs. He lied - analysts with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services of the Department of Health and Human Services informed the White House that the cost would exceed a trillion dollars. That cost has been confirmed by the GAO, the independent analysis office of Congress (a Congress in which his own part is in the majority).
11. He...well, you get the idea. If you need more examples, sing out.
