What will you do if they start naming bridges and tunnels and airports after George W Bush?

The republicans have started a new strategy of getting stuff named after their dubious leaders while these guys are still alive and you still remember who they are. so it is not too soon to start thinking about the horrid possibility of being forced to use airports and highway rest stops named after dubya. What should we do to avoid this?

FYI, none of this is 'new' or particularly unique to any political party...





Kind of like all the stuff named after Senator Robert (KKK) Byrd (Democrat)...who is still alive and wasting air...for some reason this 'King of Pork' keeps getting reelected.





He has over 30 things named after him...here's a short list of some of them:

Hopefully there will be enough public outcry to keep that from happening.
Reply:If they name a bridge after him, trolls can live underneath it forever.
Reply:Ummm........Go about my life like a normal person. You should try it some time.
Reply:LOL We have an airport named Bush Field in our area. It's been a failure too.
Reply:I'll celebrate ! Thanks for the idea. I'll email my congressman asking for Bush Airport, and hope security there does not use the Clinton imposed rules that helped the 9/11 terrorists hijack those planes.
Reply:Give an example of naming something after a dubious Republican leader. Wait, I'll cut to the chase because I bet your going to say Ronald Reagan. RR was arguably the most popular president since JFK and enjoyed a landslide re-election. Maybe that meant that not only Republicans thought he was a great leader. The economy went from stagnant and cruddy with record inflation under Carter to one of the strongest ever under Reagan. Government revenue climbed to new heights even though RR enacted the largest tax cut in history, putting more money in everyones pockets. Government defecits under Reagan were largely due to a Democratic Congress not holding true to their promise of controlling spending. Reagan led the US to vistory over the USSR, who was the greatest threat to the US's way of life, in a Cold War that had lasted since the 50's(maybe even earlier, but I'm too lazy to look it up right now).





Oh, and the Dems dont do exactly what you are talking about? Speaking of Carter the Navy named a Nuclear Attack Sub after him. Face it, he was one of the worst Presidents in a long time, but still he is memorialized prior to his death.





New strategy. Read some history, don't rely on what others who think exactly like you talk about. James Buchanan, the 5th President, was a Democrat. I know for a fact their are many schools named after him. Franklin Pierce ranks 3rd on the list of worsts, a Democrat.

Reply:Maybe you can move to another country.
Reply:you should act rationally. i drive on streets named clinton and kennedy all the time. should i boycott the streets because of name association?
Reply:Will the 'names' be 'mis-spelled' in his honor?
Reply:Do you have ANY sense of history? What republicans are you talking about? I'm aware of Reagan International, but do you have any clue what he brought to the world? I'm not aware of anything major named after Bush1, Ford, or Nixon. I'm also unaware of anything named after Clinton, Johnson, or Carter. I'm sure there are local streets and honors given in their home states and hometowns, but this is not what you are griping about. You would take Reagan International and use that one naming as a generralization this broad? The man defeated Communism and brought down the iron curtain! Are you old enough to remember the sledge hammers being taken against the Berlin wall where previously, those who tried to cross were shot on sight? Get a sense of history and of perspective. One airpost hardly qualifies your hysteria.
Reply:Sorry, you are too late! It's already been done! ha ha





Have they named a bridge after T. Kennedy yet?
Reply:Move to France
Reply:Actually those are great ideas! I have a few other suggestions...





"The George W Bush Iraqi Children's Orphanage"


"The George W Bush Unemployment Line"


"The George W Bush Hospital for Iraqi Veterans" (closed- lack of funds)


"The George W Bush Statue, Signifying When He Let Exxon NET Almost $40 BILLION of Our Dollars"


"The George W Bush Library, Complete with 'Where's Waldo' and "My Pet Goat' Books"
Reply:Usually things like this are voted in at city hall/council meetings. These are generally open to the public and citizens do have the right to speak out against something they don't want, so you can always lodge a protest there.





I don't think it's that big of a deal, though. History will remember him and what he has or hasn't done - that's much more of a legacy than having some rest stop named after you.
