George Bush haters, answer me this...?

Question

Why is it that none of you raging Bush haters can explain WHY you feel the way you do? I think your hatred is mearly an attention getting ploy.

The typical, predictible Bush-basher responses:

1. "He looks like a chimp."
Nice.

2. "He can't talk well/He's a bad public speaker"
So what.

3. "He lied about Iraq"
So you thought Saddam was a good guy?

4. "He made the world hate the US"
Only those who are guilty and misguided peons hate the US. Most of the world (Including the Persians!) loves America.

Intelligent answers only please.

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

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.

Answer 3

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.

Answer 4

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.

Answer 5

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.

Answer 6

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.

Answer 7

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.

Answer 8

There are two types of herpes simplex virus: HSV-1 and HSV-2. Both virus types can cause sores around the mouth (herpes labialis) and on the genitals (genital herpes). Cold sores are caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV).
Cold sores sometimes called fever blisters, are groups of small blisters on the lip and around the mouth. The skin around the blisters is often red, swollen, and sore. The blisters may break open, leak a clear fluid, and then scab over after a few days. They usually heal in several days to 2 weeks.
The herpes simplex virus usually enters the body through a break in the skin around or inside the mouth. It is usually spread when a person touches a cold sore or touches infected fluid—such as from sharing eating utensils or razors, kissing an infected person, or touching that person's saliva. A parent who has a cold sore often spreads the infection to his or her child in this way. Cold sores can also be spread to other areas of the body.
Luckly there is a cure for herpes https://tr.im/68d90

Answer 9

What did Al Gore ever do (or not do) that even comes close to the heinous crimes of GWB??? Al Gore is an intellectual and GWB cannot spell intellectual let alone pronounce it correctly. If Al Gore had done anything near as moronic as Bush then there could be reason to bash him but just to bash him because he a democrat is as retarded as bashing Georgie just because he's a republican...Bash Bush because he's a complete and utter moron bordering on the imbecilic.

Answer 10

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.
