She might as well join Bid Laden. Both are terrorists.

Huh? Bush, yes. How is Hillary a terrorist? I favor Obama over Hillary, but I have no idea where you are coming from.

They are all terrorists. We should just go to a direct democracy. The people can't possibly run this country worse than any of these politicians.

Terrorizing humanity and our country with their selfish needs and unlimited greed.

Don't understand the fascination with politicians. Money hungry, power abusing people who could really care less about the general public. We really need them to tell us how to live and what we're thinking? At least the communists are honest and upfront.

When I saw Bill Clinton speak in person, I didn't even get off my seat. I show more respect to homeless people every day. I know, at the very least, they have honor since all they got is their word.

Osama Bin Laden killed 3k people with his attack on the twin towers.

Bush's war to pursue imaginary weapons of mass destruction, and later pursue "terrorists" in Iraq has killed over 4k U.S. soldiers.

What about economic costs?

9/11 directly cost the US about $28B (if you Google 9/11 economic costs, the first link is http://www.ccc.nps.navy.mil/si/aug02/homeland.asp.

Our war in Iraq has cost $517B (Google Iraq war cost, the first site is http://www.nationalpriorities.org/costofwar_home).

Yes, George W and his pet war have cost us 20x what Bin Laden cost us. Ok, you can debate some specifics. There are long-term costs to maintaining TSA, and there are benefits to stealing mid-east Oil if we can stabilize the region. But regardless, Bush's was in Iraq is a travesty, and his injury to you and me dwarfs anything done by any terrorist.

Obama and Hillary are no terrorists (although I once again find myself disappointed in the presidential candidates). Bush, while perhaps no terrorist, has hurt us more than any terrorist could dream.

"Pet war"; like that.

Bush is certainly responsible for the phony war, but Cheney & Rummy were pulling the puppet strings. Bush might have made the right decision if he had better advisors. All I am saying is don't let these other bastards off the hook, they played a big role too.
