The George W. Bush Loyalty Quiz

Wednesday April 12, 2006
Are you a true believer in George W. Bush, or do you think he has been a miserable failure? Take our handy quiz and we'll gauge your level of support for the 43rd president.

Left-Wing Interloper Berates Bush at Public Forum
Speaking of Bush loyalty, Thursday's presidential forum in Charlotte was an example of what happens when GOP operatives forget to pass out Red State Cherry Kool-Aid and "Bush Pledge" loyalty oaths at the door. Harry Taylor, a commercial real estate broker from Charlotte who evidently had no suspicious bumper stickers on his car, somehow got hold of a microphone and lit into the president on a laundry list of issues, from warrantless surveillance to environmental regulations to abortion rights. Bush finally interrupted Taylor's filibuster, saying, "I’m not your favorite guy. ... Go on, what’s your question?"

Though Taylor didn't really have a question, he did get to proclaim, "In my lifetime, I have never felt more ashamed of, or more frightened by my leadership in Washington, including the presidency..."

Taylor then told reporters that he looked forward to his upcoming vacation at Guantanamo Bay, followed by a lifetime of IRS audits.

Watch video of the priceless exchange.

Poll: What phrase best describes your opinion of President Bush?
1) Strong leader
2) Miserable failure
3) Honest straight-talker
4) Arrogant liar
5) Christian patriot
6) Clueless moron
7) Incompetent hack

LOL. This was my result:

Your score is 0 on a scale of 1 to 10. You hate Bush with a writhing passion. You think he is an idiot, a liar, and a warmonger who has been an utterly incompetent, miserable failure of a president. Nothing would give you greater pleasure than seeing him impeached and run out of the White House, except maybe seeing him dragged away in handcuffs.

Here’s mine…

Your score is 2 on a scale of 1 to 10. You can’t stand George W. Bush. The mere mention of his name makes you cringe, and every time you hear him speak, it makes you want to jump out the window. You are desperately counting down the days until Jan. 20, 2009, when our long national nightmare will finally be over.

Surprisingly accurate quiz –

Your score is 8 on a scale of 1 to 10. You are a dedicated supporter and great admirer of President Bush. You believe Americans owe Bush a great debt of gratitude for defending the country against the twin evils of terrorism and liberalism. You consider your support for Bush a patriotic act, and it’s your firm belief that angry Bush haters pose a clear and present danger to the security of America.

(4) Karl Rove says:

Your score is 10 on a scale of 1 to 10. You are a True Believer in President Bush. Your loyalty and devotion to him is matched only by your desire to see his liberal detractors locked away and declared enemy combatants. Given the chance, you’d gladly vote Bush a third term, and if America were so blessed, you’d be perfectly content if Bush were president for life.

The most significant thing about Harry Taylor’s comments at a George Bush function is the fact that it is thought significant.

Lyndon Johnson saw and heard a lot of criticism during his appearances and travels. Presidents since Lyndon Johnson have also been made aware of criticism.

Other Presidents have addressed meetings in which people voiced displeasure. This was the incumbent President’s opportunity to explain a decision or to convert somebody.

Bush, however, only preaches to the choir. His audiences are screened so that the whole audience consists of Bush supporters in a big cocoon.

He ignores those not already converted. During his second campaign the American Federation of Government Employees sent a questionnaire to Bush and Kerry, planning to print their responses in a federal employee newsletter. George Bush didn’t bother responding.

Protestors are kept blocks away from travel routes and meeting sites and are never seen by the President.

I have always voted Republican except for when Richard Nixon ran and won and when George W. ran the second time. George W. Bush and Dick Cheney are not conservatives. They are fascists who appear to want to replace the Supreme Court and the Congress with a Board of Directors.

I salute Harry Taylor.
