George Bush haters, answer me this...?

Bill K Atheist Goodfella

First of all, this is to the 9-11 conspiracy theorists: Check out this link, and then stop already.

Now, as for why I personally dislike Bush and the neo-cons:

1-No child left behind- This law doesn't address the financial needs in order to implement it. Great idea, with no means to fund it.

2-He lied about Iraq. No, I don't think Saddam was a nice guy, but be honest...he was on friendly terms with the US until he was no longer useful. Regardless of what you may think, we were led to believe that we were going after the people who attacked us ON OUR OWN LAND. Instead, GW used patriotic fervor to go and finish the job that his daddy started.

3-His attempts to re-introduce a free-trade agreement that encompasses the ENTIRE WESTERN HEMISPHERE. The speech that was made was a re-wording of his daddy's same proposal. This agreement would hurt a US worker because more and more jobs would be sent to poor countries, simply so that the corporations wouldn't have to pay their workers nearly as much.

4-Last year, a bill similar to the one that the new Democrat congress just passed, concerning the minimum wage, was introduced. What most people weren't aware of, was that the Neo-con faction added a rider giving a tax break to 7500 of the richest citizens...all so that they wouldn't have to "suffer" for being forced to pay an actual LIVING WAGE.

5-His support to Israel in their most recent (ongoing) conflict with Palastine. Sorry folks, but Israel attacked first this time. A Palastinian family was killed on a picnic by a landmine that Israel planted. The capture of soldiers occured after this incident, which sparked the violence.

The list goes on, and to be fair, I dislike most of the Democrats as well. If the Democrats are supposed to represent the "working class", why then are they as rich as the conservatives they oppose? Every single politician that's serving in DC right now is so far out of touch with the average citizen, that frankly, the average citizen is the one who suffers from their constant bickering between each other. The answer, more often than not, doesn't lie in the left or the right, but somewhere in the center.

I don't hate him. Somehow I think he has done his best but got caught up in what he wanted without examining if it were right.

He signed a social security accord with Mexico which would be completely unequal in benefits to Mexico's advantage even forgetting how many more come here than go there. Our social security system was already insufficient and now he plans to give benefits to aliens working here illegally.

He signed an agreement with Canada and Mexico as if he had constitutional authority to approve treaties, which he doesn't and is ignoring our individual sovereignity and right to protect our children's schools, our hospitals and our other services for our own people.

He seems to think that if he wants to do it, that makes it ok.

His signing memos are another instance of that, and his 'fast track free trade' which I think was an unconstitutional delagation of congressional oversight to begin with, is ruining our middle class and working class and the American way of life as we have known it.

I truly think he has caused more damage to this country than Osama bin Ladin ever could.

You have 2 countries where both have oppresive leaders in charge. One says they dont have any & if sited at an area where the surrounding countries are ruled by islam vs a country that has said it is trying to gain nuclear weapons technology.

Yet he hasnt done anything about North Korea. I wonder why, plus leading a war where we are loosing now. The US cannot take a lot more of this unless they go back into full operations to hold the country down thats the size of texas.

It was mostly for oil anyway, any other reason doesnt seem plausible.

"Intelligent answers only please."

Personally I don't think he looks like a chimp. I DO think he looks stoned most of the time.

Public speaking is what politicians do - isn't it? I mean hell - even if you don't speak well - speak where when you play it back later you can at least figure out what you meant.

Saddam was a dictator who imposed his beliefs on his own countrymen. Good guy ---no. When we started bombing Iraq, my husband was having heart surgery - and still - all I could think was we're going after the wrong guy. North Korea and Iran have always been bigger threats in my opinion.

He didn't make the world hate the US - he made them hate HIM. We're supposed to be a power country and have become a laughing stock.

So yes - I am a Bush disagreer - not a Bush hater.

liddabet

Okay - I don't hate our president. In fact - I pray for him almost daily. BUT - I don't care for his leadership. There is no reason to make silly remarks about his looks. At times, he does come off as less than intelligent. (He uses "the google" when he's on "the internets") He DID lie about Iraq. Sadam Hussein is not a good guy - but the reason we went into Iraq was because Bush said there were nuclear weapons there. There are not. He also inferred that Iraq had a lot to do with 9/11. So why didn't we go to war with Saudi Arabia????? That's where the majority of the terrorists were from. He's admitted that he made mistakes in regard to the war. And I don't dislike his leadership because "He made the world hate the U.S." - but truthfully - all of the folks I know who live in Europe, Iran, Canada, Mexico, Turkey, South America, and even India - are not fond of him.

Also - he supports the mixture of church and state. I don't care for anybody who mixes the bible into politics.

Hope this was "intelligent" enough for you.

O Wise One

When he came into office the national budget was balanced and we had surplus in social security. Take a look at the national debt now...literally in the tens of billions. Thousands of our young men and women have come home either crippled for life or in boxes. The poor are being crushed and the rich are even wealthier....take Exxon for example. Our country is on the verge of bankruptcy and he wants to drop more money into the middle east. He is now denying our children the chance of a good education. What more do you need.

The Angry Stick Man

its not " He lied about Iraq " He lied to Me as a person. I don't like people who lie to me, I guess you do.

sweet_jemise

u are definitely wrong. Bush has caused other countries to hate america because they went on the US side and got bombed themselves eg Britain. Bush does not deserve to be president. People needed help in new orleans and he deserted them, because they were mostly black. When he was governor, he supported the death penalty, which shows when he orchestrated the hanging of saddam, a move that was way too early.

He is the worst president of all times...

hot.turkey

OK. first off, anyone who disagrees with Bush on anything is automatically derided as a 'Bush hater'. That's part of the problem - the 'if you're not with us, you're against us' attitude.

one of the main things we 'Bush haters' dislike is his unthinking disregard of any opinion that differs from his own.

but now to to take your specific points:

1. "he looks like a chimp"
irrelevant. if that's the worst anyone can say about the guy, they haven't been paying attention!

2. "He can't talk well/He's a bad public speaker"
same answer as 1. but it would be nice to have someone in charge who was intelligent and knew it, rather than anti-intellectual and proud of it.

3. "He lied about Iraq" So you thought Saddam was a good guy?
Can you more totally miss the point??? Sadam was a bad guy. the Bush policy has been (deliberately or negligently) to consistently mislead the public about iraq. e.g: the faux 9/11 connection, cherry-picking intelligence on WMDs, 'mission accomplished', 'stay the course' vs 'cut and run' ... and the list goes on.

4. "He made the world hate the US"
remember how sympathetic the world was to the US, after 9/11 and before the iraq invasion? see what it's like now? that's not entirely Bush's fault of course, and a lot of the anti-americanism is just ignorance, but ultimately the buck does stop with him. He took charge of a nation with almost universal world goodwill, and flushed the whole thing straight down the toilet.

patois

Here's one ( I've never much liked the Bush family after grandfather Preston had to be stopped with a special act of Congress (Trading with the Enemy Act) after providing up to one third of all raw resources for Hitler's war machine and the Holocaust): Bush and his family and associates have contributed significantly to the creation of terrorism as it is today. The people of the Middle East had not risen above their tribal differences to align and form a lasting union among themselves, as other nations of the world already had, when greedy foreigners descended upon those lands and began to plunder the oil there. Royalty and tribal elites were bribed. And, the CIA was used by U.S. oil interests, including those belonging to the Bush family, to deliberately destabilize the region for control and to prevent the people in the Middle East from uniting and controlling the oil themselves. Halliburton had the contracts to build the Al Qaeda training camps. Our new Secretary of Defence, Gates, was the man assigned to teach the Al Qaeda forces how to fight. Bush's oil company, Arbusto, is business partners with the Bin Laden family and, as a gesture of friendship, Bush gave Osama's brother, Salem the Houston Gulf Airport in Texas. The Bush family most deliberately helped to create the "terrorists" that we fight today. The people of the Middle East, betrayed by their corrupted leaders and manipulated by foreign powers, failed to rise to the realities of the 20th century in time for the 21st. And, their future is grim. Middle Eastern oil production peaks in 2012 and ends in 2070. The plunder of Middle Eastern oil is now a desparate piggy-fest of who gets control of the world's remaining oil. The societies there, so long destabilized, have disintegrated into episodic chaos and heightened religiosity as the quality of leadership plummets. Foreign and local elite oil interests, concerned about security for their pipelines and oil fields now that factions of tribal ethnic groups, opportunists and neolithic religious fanatics threaten to disrupt the efficient flow of oil out of the land, placed foreign troops, including those from UK and U.S., in the region to ensure enough, but only just enough, stability to get the oil out. Many U.S. soldiers there report that all they do is guard oil fields and a flow of oil profits that go to only a few people in the world. Even the plunder has grown chaotic with an estimated 500,000 barrels of oil going "missing" every day, securing "someone's" power in the future as oil begins to run out. Bush marches through the region and wants to invade Iran now to lock up the pipeline routes. The U.S.bribes Isreal $30,000 every year for every man, woman and child, plus, has given them nuclear weapons (which the maniacs have recently threatened to use against the Iranians), in order to have an initial foothold for the plunder-march through the region. Now, with a Democratic Congress and worldwide disgust for Bush and Cheney's lying and plundering and unspeakably irresponsible plundering of our own nation's resources and financial security while racking up the largest national debt in the history of mankind, there may be some reasonable approach that will be considered and a way to help re-stabilize the communities and the people of those regions who have been disarmed and are now at the mercy of criminal, barbaric gangs of religious fanatics and other factions. Bush stated during the Presidental debates, to appeal to bloodlusty right-wingers, that "there would be NO nation building" there, though. He will do everything possible to maintain instability and chaos in that region AND here in the U.S. as long as he is President. And, he will fight every reasonable effort that comes out of Congress and out of the will of the people that Congress represents. He has already said that clearly, that We the People are merely "critics". Critics my butt. He's supposed to work for the people, not Halliburton, for crying out loud. Bush and his family and business associates have no true decent American ethics. They supported that butcher Saddam when it suited them. They support whomever goes along with them or is most easily bribed. They support the Shiites now because they seem the most easily "managed" and exploitable or amenable to the "Big Picture". That may change from day to day, depending upon the vagaries of the chaos. Bush, until Ted Haggard here in the United States got outed as a meth-head and adulterer, was strongly aligning himself with the Christian Evangelicals, 40 million strong, whose leadership, as they reported themselves in "Faith and Nation" last November, advocate the violent overthrow of the U.S. government if their radical religious agenda is not made into legislation. And, the Evangelicals are most certainly training and preparing for war. (War against you and I and anyone who does not follow their religious beliefs.) Bush is yet again aligning with and supporting future terrorists. Only, this time, he's growing them at home. To be truly a strong nation, we need to stop Bush and his kind from CREATING terrorists.

MUERTE

explaind why you like him??? give more good reasons than all those bad ones

Ricky

well my friend saddam dident have weapons of mass destruction, i gotta give it to ya bush is a funny aaass ballz dude. but he also is retarded when he talks wait nvm that makes him funny, and well most ppl around the world hated the us already but bush made them hate us even more.

his policies are horrible man, if you seriously read the newspaper you would know why more than half the country does not like bush

THE BIGGEST LIE OF ALL TIMES ........ 9-11 ......... I always believed that it was Al-Qaida unless I saw this video.... It was the Bush Himself killing his own people..... with americas so called best ally......

Videos are made by american news agencies and are not Biased... you will realize if you watch them......

akaANNIE

Oh. I can explain why. First, he went against the United Nations, and lied about the Weapons of Mass Destruction in Iraq, and wouldn't let the weapon's inspectors complete their mission. Saddam did not have anything to do with 9/11. We went to Iraq as a diversion, and to complete his family vendetta.

He publicly admitted that he sees bin-Laden as no longer a threat, and therefore has stopped looking for him.

He alienated all of our allies by his go-it-alone strategy, thereby causing the world to shun us.

We are being loaned billions of dollars, every day, by China, etc., to fund the war in Iraq. What happens when they are tired of lending us this money? That's one for you to ponder.

He refuses to converse with any country with whom we have disagreements. There is a lot to be said for diplomacy, but Bush is incapable of it.

He has held very few press conferences with the American public, and has hid in the shadows since his display after 9/11.

You will disagree with everything I've just said, and that's okay, because this is still America, and even though Bush is trying to take away my rights, I still have my freedom of speech as long as the Democrats control the house.

Jâ™¥Râ™¥R

I don't like how he used the war in Iraq as a ploy to take the attention off of the fact he was connected to the people responsible for 9/11.I don't like the fact that many people I know are struggling because it's hard to find good jobs anywhere because he helped ruin the economy.I see in my local paper almost every single day that places are closing down and laying people off that I personally know and care for.I know he's not singlehandly responsible,but he's not doing much to improve things either.

One Sexy Jeep Girl

We're all entitled to our opinion.

the nerd

Uhm...where the hell is Osama bin Laden?
About Iraq, I think people are mad because they think Bush is a megalomaniac. And the fact that he turned the attention of the world to Iraq (in a very surprising way) while bin Laden is still at large can add up to that.
Well, who would hate US? Ending up a 25-year dictatorship is too good for them sick-of-Saddam-people.
I don't hate him.
I just don't like him.

Anyway, you from the US?

linlyons

A) stupid questions don't deserve "Intelligent answers".

<<3. "He lied about Iraq" So you thought Saddam was a good guy?>> NOPE. Saddam was a really bad guy. and there are many other "really bad guys" in the world today. but Saddam had oil. and Saddam thumbed his nose at shrub's daddy.

<<4. "He made the world hate the US" Only those who are guilty and misguided peons hate the US.>> WRONG. a majority of folks in most countries now dislike the US. Consider Spain. Because of our mistake, their train got bombed. That was because of the unprovoked US attack on Iraq. Things like that have happened in several countries. And will happen in many more countries, in the future. Because Bush lied to congress, the UN, the world, and to you and me. The only difference is that you're one of the few that don't seem to be able to see that you've been lied to.

Where to Start - Has built a record debt. Is responsible for 100's of thousands of Iraqi Civilian deaths. Yes - Sadam was not a good guy I agree to that but there are plenty of other bad leaders/dictators out there. Plans to invade all of them? Draft dodged, made USA less safe. Etc. I can go on. I don't understand how any rational human being could ever show him any respect.

And by the way. Intelligent Answers are usually reserved for intelligent questions. But in this case, we will let it slide.

zzHoUnDzz

HA. First off,,I dont need attention. 9-11 was an inside job.Forscenics dont lie.Get educated.

ashlee

search "loose change 2" on google after you watch the 45 minute show tell me what you think at ashstruempf@yahoo.com

I agree with zzhoundszz

tonalc1

Re chimp--personal appearance slurs are useless, I agree.

He's a bad public speaker--As you agree. I'm sometimes embarrassed that the leader of the free world can't form sentences. I think it's because he doesn't think before he speaks; and has a hard time speaking off the cuff.

No, I don't think Saddam was a good guy. How does this change the fact that Bush lied about Iraq?

Our standing in the world has dropped since he invaded Iraq. "Guilty and misguided peons" are not the only people who feel the U.S. has lost its moral high ground. Bush squandered the goodwill of the world after 9/11.

slickny8111

OK well for 1 I'm not going to answer.
2. He is a terrible speaker. Being a president requires being a good leader. A leader needs to have good public speaking skills.
3 No Saddam was not a good guy, but should we sacrifice domestic tranquility to go after Saddam. To quote Bush and Cheney said Saddam played a major link in 9/11, which is untrue. I'm fine with removing Saddam from office, but at my expense no. We should remove china to, they have bad human right records just like Saddam. We could be spending money on the poor in our country I see homeless people here. What about our debt?
4 No that is not true. Most of the world does hate us. They are fed by propaganda. The gulf hates us. Why do you think 9/11 happened?

warr31

remember that is was another @sshole u.s. president like bush that put saddam in power in the first place. and lied. along with many other wonderful world leaders like gadaffi. or is integrity NOT a priority for a president when you ppl vote?

iwannarevolt

Why is it that YOU assume that all of the bush haters don't explain why they feel the way they do? Besides just because I might say that he lied about Iraq just so he could get the go ahead to invade the country as a reason why DOESN'T mean that I think Saddam was a good guy.

â™¥They call me momâ™¥

Well, for one, I never liked him from the begining. Obvious reason he wasn't the one I voted for. If I wanted attention, I would have voted for Bush. He does look like a chimp, you said it yourself, but that's not the reason I dislike him. I also agree that he is a terrible public speaker. You would think the president could take a few classes in speech and communication. One of the big reasons is that we were lied to about Iraq. You'd be mad if Clinton said he was using money to "protect," us then spent it on on rebuilding China or something. By the way, have you seen Loose change? Maybe you should watch that.

Whoa.

Bush is doing what he can
besides all the crap he is getting
he is out president so everyone needs to deal with it.
It's called support anyways, some people..
gahh.
-even though i don't agree with everything he says
