Bush has to go?

Question

I've read the articles, visited the anti Bush web sites and listened to the propaganda but in the end all I see is another President, the same as all the rest. So why do people want to get rid of him? Do they just want a new president to harass and hate? It seems part of our culture to hate the President. Maybe it's the war? Arn't we helping the people over in Iraq establish a better country, so in the end they wont need our support, so we can for go the Charity commercials to save kids in Iraq. I don't mean to offend anyone but I just don't get. Where does all the hatred come from? Hate as never lead to anything good, not ever.

Answer 1

I totally understand your point. Whether G.W. can be classified as 'the same as all the rest' is debatable. It is not so much that people want to get rid of him as much as it is that people do not want to listen or hear form him anymore. War does not determine whether or not a president is liked or disliked. The ability for a president to find balance and harmony regardless of geo-political unrest is what determines his likability.

As far as helping the good citizens of Iraq is concerned, the global community sees a desperate Administration trying to secure a direct access to natural resources that are in high demand and short supply - now and in the near future!

Where does the hatred come from? Let's see. Certainly charity does not factor in. But exploitation does. Ignorance does even more. Political and economic sanctions and extortion also tend to stir the pot but there are such deep seeded fundamental differences that another World War will take place to determine a new (not necessarily better) direction for the world.

I am the Fringe and life is not about hatred, it is about power and control - no offense.

Answer 2

Its just partisan politics, but it has also become the popular thing to do. If you do the research (as it appears you have), you will discover that no one was lied to. The left couldn't believe it when Bush was reelected in a relative landslide. Many powerful liberals hate Bush and will say anything to hurt his image. I mean how many people think Bush is dumb? I don't care how he got into an ivy, he still graduated. Anyway, we people with money and power start talking, even if they don't know what they are talking about, people listen. The situation in Iraq appears to be worsening, Katrina was a major disaster. If you watch the news at times, the US seems to be lost. There is a lot of rhetoric coming from the left and from the mainstream media, while much of it is opinion and/or incorrect. It is stated often and has often become accepted as fact.

Answer 3

Other than some personal issues Bill Clinton did a great job as president as did Ronald Regan. Bush Sr was a one term president because he destroyed the US economy, just like GW is doing now. The only reason he was reelected was because John Kerry didn't have a clue. I actually think the Democrats deliberately ran him so that there would be a vacancy for Hillary in 2008. I don't know if you remember but Bill had to disown Hillary while running for his second term because she was in deep trouble over Whitewater. I hope and pray the USA comes up with two fresh candidates for the next presidential election.

Answer 4

Because Bush is a right-wing extremist. It is one thing to be irrationally labeled as a bad president. If you can't see the fact that he is leading a ridiculously christian led crusade against Islam then you're not paying attention. He preaches more from religion than of politics. He was elected (in both cases I still debate the results) and yet he doesn't mandate the POPULAR vote but rather his own and that of his party.

If you are 'elected' by the people, you listen to the people! Right now this country is about 65% rational and 35% 'Jesus-land' where religion is the only topic. Yet those 35% who mandate only on the Bible think Iran is full of religious nuts with no rational capabilities, the irony! Of course presidents must at times ignore the populace to do what is right. But...for 2 full terms and waiving the bible around like the constitution as your purpose?

I believe the 1st ammendment exists and this president has purposefully left doo-doo on that amendmant. If Gore was a big-gov't-environmentalist and Kerry was a flip-flopping-hippie then Bush is a bible-waving-rule-by-fear-from-a-bunker-with-92-guns rightist nut.

To say it all in one highly paraphrased but yet true quote..."We are led by a man who is on a mission to destroy all fanatical religious extremists in the world...because God told him to."

Answer 5

In any society, there will always be some who just don't get it. The favorite rant is that Bush "lied" about the Iraqi WMD. Which is, of course, absurd, Iraq did have them -- it used them. Only a few were found because most of the material (amounting to several thousand tons) got shipped off to Syria starting in June 2002. Presumably it is still there; if so, it poses no immediate threat because the Syrians are not trained to use the stuff.

Answer 6

Hate SELDOM leads to anything good, very seldom.

But rarely, specifically, yes, it does. It's OK to hate incompetence.

And that's what's wrong with Bush. He's broken our laws and infuriated our FRIENDS (the G7 ad NATO) by authorizing torture and years of detention of CIVILIAN "prisoners." In London, the profoundly wise conservative weekly "The Economist" called this official policy of torture "insane."

He's run up the American credit card for an Iraqi occupation plan that won't work and is devolving into a low level sectarian civil war. We are under-occupying a nation where there is gunfire every night in the capital, and where hundreds of the citizens are killing each other each month. That more than incompetent, it stinks with inhumanity.

As governor of Texas, he laughed on camera about a woman about to be executed and mocked her while the camera was rolling. "No grown up behaves like that," Ronald Reagan's son Ron said to the Washington Post about this conduct in an interview published in June, 2000.

He has not complied with the Supreme Court decision ordering our government to comply with the Geneva Conventions (which are part of American Federal law). He's a President who ignores federal criminal statutes and Supreme Court decisions.

He has consistently and endlessly lied to the American public about how much money the nation is borrowing -- $500 to $700 billion every year he's been in office. Our servant is lying to us about how much of our money he's spending.

Early this year, he wanted to posture and bluff the Iranian government by threatening the use of nuclear weapons on that nation. United, the Joint Chiefs of Staff threatened to resign in protest over BRANDISHING NUCLEAR WEAPONS. Bush backed off, temporarily. For a little while.

Shortly thereafter, he supported nuclear proliferation on a trip to India and winked at it on his next stop, the military dictatorship in Pakistan.

"W" is incompetent. There are people, especially young people, who recognize that and hate him -- for factual, specific, pointed reasons. Those people can be given a label: patriots.

Answer 7

Our country is divided and has been for awhile -- Democrats and Republicans. It seems the division is stronger now than ever. But we need to make sure the elected officials we put in office try to work together across the partisan lines and not hate the other party so much that they stand against anything that party tries to do or suggest.

Answer 8

why are we in Iraq???? Helping other people?? Seriously, have you never heard of Vietnam? This is another war for profit for the big companies. That is it. Why he doesn't care about 9-11 and Osama is really the question. We never voted this guy in, maybe that is why we want rid of him and his good ole boys that are running the country and have been without regard to the wants and needs of the people in the country only concerned about big business and Haliburtan....... hmmm.. use your common sense. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see what has been going on for some time now.

Answer 9

Nobody hates Bush, but people hates his policies and that is the reason why they want him to go, with the hope that the next president will come up with better policies. But one thing is for sure, no matter how good a president might be, he cannot please every person and will still have some enemies.

Answer 10

I don't hate him...

but I am tired of his incompetence... it seems like everything he does is screwed up... I don't think the man can wipe his butt, without getting poo on his nose...

it's almost daily where he screws up again (less lately though, because it seems he's just not been as active)... I've never seen a president screw up this much... if you have to ask for details, you haven't been paying attention, and if you haven't been paying attention, you don't care...
