Hey Bush Bashers****?

Question

I honestly cannot understand the hate, prejudice, and bigoted bashing of the current President of the United States, George W. Bush. Why does it exist? Give concrete examples, please. Please focus on policy, not on the fact that he's a good ol' boy Texan whom you all disdain, okay? Perhaps it's a hatred of Texans? Give at least 3 REASONS WHY you hate the man.

Answer 1

I don't hate the man, but I do understand why many people do not like him. Mostly it is an honest issue. He's a horribly untrustable person. Almost everything he said he would do he didn't, and almost everything he said he wouldn't do he did. Just look at the funding for church based initiatives. He promised lots of money and has yet to give a single penny to any of their causes. Clinton gave about 15 million to church based initiatives, Bush Sr. about 10 million. And it's not like he wouldn't have had support for it - the whole House and Senate is majority Republican.

Then there is the war built on bad intelligence, the fact that he stayed on vacation for 3 extra days during a hurricane, hasn't caught Osama Bin Laden, has spent more money the a drunk Ted Kennnedy in Vegas with a fist full of government bonds, said he wasn't doing domestic wiretaps....

There is quite a lot of reasons to really dislike this president and I'm afraid that history will not be kind to him. Bush is my president, but he is not a good president.

Answer 2

I will try to answer this from a practical point for you as a die-hard liberal.

1. Iraq is what really turned me on George W. Bush. I felt that invading a country was not the course of action to take in the hunt for Osama Bin Laden. There has been no evidence yet to prove that this was a proper course of events to obtain terrorists.

2. Immigration is the next issue I will give you. Bush is obviously a very conservative president, which is why many love him. These same people, though, almost all hate immigration into our country. Despite this, Bush and his administration has yet to implement a good immigration program. Also, in the last two elections, Bush relied heavily on the Hispanic vote in many states. This is all too hippocritical.

3. Oil prices. I have paid over three dollars a gallon for gas many times in the past year. The Bush administration has done nothing to combat this high rise in oil prices. He is also an oil man who would not be in office without contributions from big oil companies. This comes across as pretty coincidental.

Answer 3

You want 3?
I can give you 13. But heh, you asked 3.

1. Running up the largest debt and deficit in the history of the US
2. The patriot act, that takes away civil liberties. Do you know something called habeas corpus? It is one of the most vital parts of civil liberties that says you can't imprison someone without trial. He has taken away that liberty. You, yes even YOU, may be imprisoned without trial. You may think you haven't done anything wrong. But you won't get a trial to prove it.
3. Starting a war on false pretext and lying to the Congress about the reasons, suppressing evidence that would have proved contrary to what he said to the congress.

There. Want more? Have tons. Katrina, cronyism, disrespect for the Constitution, Abramoff...

Oh, btw, those who are waving the flag of patriotism, do you even know what patriotism is? You think the country is just borders? The people in the country don't matter to you? More than 65% of the people don't approve of Bush. The people are the country and you my dear friends are AGAINST those people and hence against the country. Don't you ******* use patriotism as an excuse any more you whorespawns. I can bet my soul that half of you don't even take care of your old parents but you are all up to take care of your country.

Answer 4

Bush is a man of character. His enemies are so pathologically full of hate they have nothing to offer to counter Bush's real accomplishments. He has made us safer from domestic terrorism-no attacks since 99/11. Under his administration countless planned attacks by the Islamic fascists have been foiled, weapons of mass destruction have been found, the Iraqi people have a new representative government, and recent documents reveal that the terrorists have no power to wage open warfare and most Iraqis are grateful for the new schools, running water, freedom for women to have an influence on their country's future. The mainstream media has emphasized each GI death and not reported the positive gains from the war.
President Bush has given us tax cuts which have caused our economy to grow.

Answer 5

lol, Good question. I really haven't seen 3 reasons why not. But you've really got em going. The one reason I can't stand to hear is the war on Iraq. President Bush didn't just wake up one day and say. "I think I'll screw up Iraq today. There was a VOTE that took place to proceed with actions in Iraq. There's not one LIBERAL out there that can blame the president, alone, for Iraq(which is going very much as planed). Hell even the flip flopping freak Sen. Kerry voted for the war and can't accept the fact that he did.

Thank God we have a president that is following through with the war in Iraq. Just like he said he would.

Answer 6

1.for instance he said that poor people are poor cause their lazy

2.a next thing he said the reason why he's giving the mexicans jobs is that the american people dont want to work he wants to pay people who are over qualified next to nothing a next thing the

3.he's in iraq is for the oil not for terrorism he's use bin ladin as an excuse to get the people oil and he also said that the other

4.president that steps into office will have to clean up the mess he made that's why i hate him oh and it's not the hatred of texans it's cause he's a racist and before you go agreeing with this so called president he doesnt care about nobody but himself

Answer 7

1. Lack of responsibility.
When something goes wrong, his administration doesn't accept responsibility for it. They blame others. When there was no WMD, it was bad intelligence. "I'll fire anyone involved with the outing of Valerie Plame" - guess not. Katrina response? He said he didn't know about the levies, although video-taped evidence proves his administration was addressed regarding the levies the night before the storm. The response still wasn't there. They placed all the blame on one person ("You're doing a good job, Brownie." - Uh oh, people hate us, get outta here, Brownie.)

2. Lack of follow-through.
Early in his term he and Laura gave a great speech about mental health parody in insurance. Never happened. He discussed health care affordability in his campaigns. Never happened. I'm not a social conservative, but he's done nothing more than give lip-service to social conservatives issues (thankfully, but it still proves there's no follow through).

3. Placing the White House for Sale.
Oh, Conservatives get all pissed off about people staying in the Lincoln Room, but apparently giving more than 100 lobbyists regulatory seats over the industries through which they make their profits. Of course, there's Cheney holding his energy policy meetings with no one but oil industry insiders (who are now making record profits, while we pay nearly twice as much for gasoline).

There are a lot more reasons but you only asked for three. I could go on about the ineptitude with which the Iraq War was prosecuted. The loss of focus on Afghanistan that has resulted in decreasing stability there. The heinous foreign policy that has made us the most hated nation in the world, even beyond the terrorist states. The inability to hold any power over North Korea and Iran because we've wasted all of our diplomatic power defending a war that shouldn't have been fought. I could go on, but I'll stop.

Answer 8

This is easy to answer and you should pay attention to how naive you really are since you support him 100%..........

1. He is a president of brolen promises, lies, and words that mean nothing. for example: " WMD in Iraq " as his reasoning for going to War? Lie!!! His..." Mission Accomplished " press conference / photo op on a navy carrier in which he stated that " all combat & military ground operations have concluded and we have accomplished our mission." Which is another " Lie"!!! If you are president of the U.S.A. you do not say such things without really being right now do you?? as we know, we are still in Iraq for the 4th year in a row ...so mission was never accomplished and we are there under false presumptions that were not true!!!! Do your research!!!

2. Bush has given tax cuts to the 1% most wealthiest people in this nation while everyone that doesn't make millions of dollars in income pay more of a tax %%% than the richest in this Country! Does that make any sense what-soever???? No not really!!! He is ruining our economy, and by the way we are in a 8 Trillion dollar deficit!!!! That does affect you sweetie!! Pay Attention!!!!

3. He has not mad this Country any safer from terrorists or terror attacks, and if you think so your fooling yourself!! He hasn't made our ports any safer by trying to sell our ports to Dubai!!! ( Dubai is located in the middle east if you were not aware ) He hasn't secured our borders on the north and south, which terrorists are trying to cross every day to get into the US not to mention the millions of illegals that take from people via our taxes and economy daily ......24/7 and you know who that hurts??? You!!!! Figure it out !!!!
It has nothing to do with him being from texas!!!! He is a horrible president and you should not ask such ridiculous questions without educating yourself first!!!

Answer 9

... I don't hate him... I just disagree with MANY of his policies... and I feel the majority of the "haters" are the same...

from ports, harriet Meyers, CIA leak, brownie and Katrina, the promotion of people to jobs that they shouldn't be in (Bolton, all CIA chief nominations, the aforementioned Harriet and brownie and much more), he signed tax cuts to the oil companies at a time or record profit, warrant-less wiretapping, not "caring where Osama is" (that's what he said), the fact that the things he did campaign on, he has done nothing about with a Republican majority (abortion, immigration, fiscal responsibility), support of CAFTA and dealing with the Chinese...

All that, and I haven't even mention the Iraq war, which he has no facts to back up the vast majority of the reasons why we are there... and even if he did have a reason, he doesn't have a strategy on how to stabilize the nation...

Answer 10

I can't give you 3 reasons for 'hate' because I don't 'hate' him. I can give you 3 reasons I dislike him:

1. He discontinued the PAY AS YOU GO system that the Clinton administration used to balance, and keep balanced, the budget resulting in large deficits.

2. He used his religion to manipulate the masses knowing that the majority of this country was Christian. PBS Frontline 'The Jesus Factor' Bush Jr was hired by the Bush Sr administration to find out how to capture the religious vote. Think that was 87 or 88. MAKES ME SICK!! He actually stated that he believe GOD wanted him to be president before he ran.

3. He disgust me because he let himself be manipulated by Cheney and Rumsfeld who had a plan to go to war long before 911. Either he knew this and willingly went along as a pawn or he didn't know this and followed their lead with his thumb stuck in his mouth.
