Bush continues to set the standard for democracy



| Reddit | Tumblr | Digg | FARK

For somebody that talks so much about democracy, what the hell kind of a model are we exporting?

  • Losing the vote yet "winning" an election
  • Election tampering
  • Rampant corruption throughout his party and party leadership
  • Trashing of American core values
  • Government policy manipulation by large multi-national corporates
  • Launching war based on lies
  • Neutered press that is compliant with administration goals
  • Countless smear & fear campaigns against dissidents
  • Overall atmosphere of fear
  • Global tarnishing of America
  • Focus on top 1% of the population, leaving the rest to fend for themselves
  • Alienation and fragmentation of the country instead of being a uniter
  • Close monitoring/illegal surveillance of citizens in violation of rule of law
  • Political appointees well outside of mainstream of America
So what else am I missing about this charming lot? It's not unusual to see this happening in the developing world but for an administration that is supposed to be providing a model of democracy for the world this simply does not cut it.
