46. He and the Republican Party
are betraying the trust of the Founding Fathers. The greatest fear of our founders was that we would end up forsaking democracy and embracing monarchy or some form of tyranny similar to the monarchy they overthrew. Bush is trying to establish a unitary executive which gives nearly monarchical powers to the president.

Bush has invoked the threat of terror to justify abolishing the freedoms that the Constitution grants to us. His conduct is beyond criminal. He is a traitor to the Constitution.

If you don't believe me, read the Federalist Papers. The Founding Fathers dreamed of a Congress composed of representatives of the various regions of the country who would argue for the interests of their areas. The Founding Fathers would detest and condemn the conformity and single-voicedness of the Republicans in Congress. The Founding Fathers intended that the legislature would be the most powerful branch of government. They would be horrified to learn that Bush and Cheney are trying to make the executive more powerful than the legislature.

Bush is also the worst president ever because he lied and manipulated the press to get us involved in a pointless war for now reason whatsoever. He has wasted American tax money, enriched his friends and donors at the expense of taxpayers. He has failed to protect the environment. His failures and outright crimes are too numerous to list here. You don't want to read a post that long.
