statistics are abit shocking seeing its so demostrates anti-bush opinion

Wierd Doctor Octopus still gets so many votes.
The guy was actualy quite nice and did his evil deeds to be able to finish his lifes work of creating a free, clean and abundant energy source(something worth a few lives imho) and sacrificed his life in the end, when he saw that his invention malfuntioned and was about to destroy the entire planet.

Not surprising, really.

Bush has behaved as though he had a mandate from his God (and perhaps he did) but he sure didn't have a mandate from anyone else.

At the time he attacked, the UN (and most of the other countries of the world) were saying that Iraq had no WMDs. And, you'll recall, it had no WMDs. This made Bush's actions unprovoked and seemed to remind folks of the worst of the empire-building days.

Remember all the demonstrations across the world (and here in America) over his actions?

Bush refuses to sign the Kyoto treaty at a time when the rest of the world is very concerned over environmental issues. This didn't put him on anyone's "favorite president" list.

He forgets Osama and goes after Saddam, destabilizing the region.

The rest of the world is well aware of the cost in human lives of this war and blames Bush for triggering it.

And to add to that, Bush believes he's hearing the voice of God sanctioning the moves. The rest of the world and a lot of the rest of the US doesn't hear God saying the same thing. They hear something else.

It'd be bad enough if he was just your average corporate head, but he's the leader of a large country, and that's very disturbing.

I thought Uma's character was the bride in Kill Bill???

In respecting your valid observations and points Bryd, my only contention is look at the choices.....
Lets be for real here, k?
And all coming from MSNBC, anti-Bush at that?

Yeah, the outcome of this poll is definitely not surprising at all, given the choices to be had....

The thing with villains for people with a sense of justice is that they need to be put on trial and punished.

Much of the civilized world is unlikely to be righteously "happy" until Bush and his cronies are imprisoned.

What's so far-fetched with picturing Bush as a villain? Many believe he uses the US like his own little corporation to earn money. Also commiting US troops to a "war on terrorism" against the wrong terrorists is just plain wrong. This is why the US needs so much money for defense where it can be used for so many other things if people didn't hate us so much.

Hey! Gollum wasn't a villain.
He was a victim.

Uma Thurman (the bride) in Kill Bill wasn't a villain, she was just seeking revenge for having her life destroyed by her so called friends. Well that's how I saw her, I wouldve thought it was obvious that the people she was killing in Vol. 1 and 2 were the villains..

Kerry could easily be Thor's Don Blake or Spidey's Peter Parker or The Hulk's Bruce Banner.

If he was on the side of good and niceness rather than being the most despised man on the planet, Bush could not even be an effective sidekick.

Doc Oct kicks ass, Spiderman should have been taken to by Doc Oct like a Catholic Preist takes it to an Alter Boy.

Anyways, the world agrees, Bush will kill us all. No one except for Saudi Arabia supports Bush. Sad, the 6.2 billion people can't be wrong, can they?

I can't think of any superhero or sidekick as comparitively illiterate as Bush. He would always get the catch phrase wrong! And anyways, if Bush were a superhero, he would get attacked by an enemy and go attack someone else instead. It just wouldn't work.

When you have a direct mandate from God, you don't need any other mandates.

When good men do nothing, evil will prevail. President Bush, being a good man, decided to not let evil prevail.

Besides, tell me of one good and honest man and I will pray that God spares the Earth from destruction.

It can't happen, therefore prophecy must be fulfilled. The way things are, is the way they're suppose to be! I didn't say it. God did.

now I can't believe this thread has turned into, movie villian talk ..

and how bad a villian President Bush would be in a movie...

Byrd,
With all due respect,
the MIddle East hasn't been a stable region for over 2000 years

Saying "the way things are are they way they're supposed to be, I can't change it," is a eloquent way of saying there's no point, you should just give up, and relaying all of your self-inflicted problems onto "God's plan."

It's also a good way out of supplying an opinion.

Whose to say Bush had a mandate from God? What if I have a mandate form God to unleash my stupify-rays onto Dubya, would that be OK?

Oh wait...looks like somebody beat me to it!
