Is George Bush Really a Born Again?

Instead of debating religion, bring the thread back to the intent of this board - to explores issues of mind control, cults and cult-like behavior.
Our two Presidents definitely have issues - one with sex (power and control) yet and the other alledgedly with addiction (drinking, drugs, religion). Both made sure the world knew they were faithful, church-going people. Both arewere involved in scandals, lies and who knows what else, but want to come across as do-gooders. Both blamed their dissidents with accusations of right-wing conspiracy or you are unAmerican if you don't agree. This is typical narcissist behavior.
Anyone involved with a narcissist, sociopath, cult, cult-like personality knows these folks tend to have admirable endeavors that divert attention from their sickness. GWB sounds like an evangelist, the person who is going to save the world from evil-doers, while ignoring the fact that he is destroying lives and disregarding anyone who disagrees. He brown-noses all religions in order to gain trust. He seems to be the typical messianic narcissist, who has gone from drinking to preaching, exchanging one high for another. With Clinton, one could play armchair psychology and say he's a codependent, adult child of dysfunctional parents who grew up to be a sex addicted President. As Pres, there is no end to his narcissistic supply.
It does no good to debate which president is the bigger liar, but to look at charm, charisma, good writing and speech-making gets people into powerful positions. It's how people are duped by narcissists everyday, yet when it happens, it's difficult to explain what happened. The "victim" gets blamed for not seeing red flags, for their subconscious not keeping up with the conscious. The blame in political situations always lies with who voted for whom or who didn't vote at all. The fact that our political leaders' actions never seem to match their words is taken for granted and many times it seems like nothing can be done anyway. They get away with murder, just like narcissists and sociopaths do in business and intimate relations, only on a grander scale.
