Violating International Law as recognized by the UN and Nuremburg Chaters by invading a sovereign nation who posed no threat to us:

Bush Declaring himself a defacto monarch by issuing hundreds of constitutional signing statments in which he dictates which laws he will and will not follow:

I find these things offensive as an American and as a human being -- maybe one of these days people in power will listen and do something about it :-)

Answer 2

First of all, I don't hate Bush.

Secondly, I don't hate conservatives.

George W. Bush is the worst President we've had in my lifetime. He's incompetent, and he acts before he thinks. He rushed us into this war in Iraq without planning ahead, and now we're paying the price for it. A better-planned war would have seen us with a shorter-term presence in Iraq. Now we're going to have to keep pouring money and American lives into a cause that we may never win. All because he was acting emotionally, as opposed to logically.

So I don't hate him. But I think he's a terrible President.

Answer 3

I am a liberal I do not hat conservatives, I am a Christian. You are correct Bush is neither. He is however a disgrace to our nation, a murderer, a thief, and he should be standing against a wall wearing a blindfold and smoking one last cigarette

Answer 4

Liberals hate everybody, they get up every morning, look in the
mirror and say I hate you!

Answer 5

Here are only a miniscule number of reasons:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. National debt under Bush Jr. has increased so drastically that the average
American's estimated share of the national debt will be an astronomical $24,00
compared to $500 when Dubya first took office.

2. Under Bush Jr. there are now 43 million Americans with no health insurance

3. Responsible for and unemployment rate of 6%. There are now 9 million people
out of work in America-3.3 million more than when Bush took office.

4. He cut health care benefits for veterans.

5. Bush Jr. Deserted his unit during vietnam and was reportadely AWOL for over a
year from his assigned unit: The Texas Air National Gaurd, or as its referred to
by other military outfits, "The Champagne Division".

6. Despite a 13% unemployment rate among those aged 16-24, Bush Jr. Proposed to
eliminate youth oppertunity grants-A program provides job training to the
nations youth. A $225M program in 2002 is now being done away with so Bush can
have more money for Iraq.

7. He cut funding for 375,000 low income college students and reduced pell grant
amounts to such a severe degree that it effectively caused 84,000 students to no
longer be eligible for pell grants. Pell amounts have been overall reduced for
1.5 million students... its safe to say that the Bush daughters aren't eligible
for financial aid, so this won't affect the opulent lives of anyone Bush Jr. may
know.

8. Withdrew from the international criminal court.

9. First president in U.S history to refuse United Nations election inspectors
(during the US 2002 elections)

10. All-time U.S. (and world) record holder for most corporate campaign
donations.

11. The Bush administration had twice as many FBI agents fighting the drug war
than fighting terrorism prior to 9/11. Even after 9/11 more than 2000 agents are
wasting thier valuable time assigned to the war on drugs.

12. His proposed "free trade" agreements would result in the loss of U.S. jobs
to foreign markets and the exploitation of third world workers.

13. John Ashcroft

14. He has taken 11 official executive actions to undermine reproductive
rights...how long will it be before a woman is stripped of her right to choose?

15. Failed to fulfill his pledge to get Osama Bin Laden "dead or alive".

16. Wasted federal resources on a PR trip to Baghdad where he staged a
Thanksgiving meal at 6am with troops that were screened based on thier political
affiliation. And the Turkey? It was a prop.

17. His refusal to fire-or even repremand-Lt. General Jerry "our God is bigger
than their God" Boykin. Perhaps it's because Boykin said of the president,
"George Bush was not elected by a majority of voters in the United States. He
was appointed by God. He's in the white house because God put him there."

18. After sending troops off to fight in an unjust unprovoked war, he still has
yet to attend any soldiers' funerals.


19. His shameless nepotism for the rich and powerful. Elizabeth Cheney (daughter
of ol' Dick) Got hooked up with a cool gig at the state department where she was
in charge of the $129 million middle east partnership inititive and then was
moved to daddy and uncle dubya's campaign payroll.

20. He dropped his dog on its head.
