Answer 3

Hmmm...let's take this tirade one point at a time...

Six reasons why two term george w bush makes me puke. am i right? No, you're wrong, keep reading...

1. numerous tax breaks for the rich,

The tax breaks weren't for "the rich" they just benefit the upper middle class and upper class more because they pay almost ALL of the taxes in this country. Who'd you think would benefit? People who pay almost no taxes?

2. continuous lies from bush and cheney and rumsfeld.

Lies. Decisions based on misinformation maybe, but not lies. Hell, even Saddam thought he had WMDs. Please drop this contention. It makes you GWB haters look foolish when your heroes in Congress agreed all along that Saddam had WMDs based on the same info the President had.

3. forcing democracy on a people who don't know or care what it is. all the while keeping an eye on that oil.

Hmmm....they walked for miles past roadside bombs, snipers and dead bodies just for a chance to participate in the democratic process. Remember the purple-dyed fingers they were so proud of? Americans won't even skip American Idol to go vote...

4. lack of leadership. using erroneous facts to make decisions, having no plans for iraq once the government there was overthrown.

Your evaluation of his leadership capabilities differs from mine but you're entitled to you opinion. As for using erroneous info, see point #2 above. I'll agree that a more structured plan would've been nice to fill the vacuum left by Saddam's regime but war is a dynamic entity, ever-changing your options and decisions. Perhaps you think you would've done better? I doubt it.

5.playing at law and order, but commuting a sentence for his boy libby, saying the 250,000 dollar fine for libby was substantial. a quarter of a million for people of that economic class is like 20 dollars is to me. then blaming it on clinton saying that the ex-slimeball did worse.

Libby was a fall guy. The President exercised his power to commute his sentence. Big deal. And a quarter of a million dollars is a lot of money, even for him. He didn't BLAME it on Clinton. He merely reminded Hillary and the rest of us that his one, well thought-out commutation pales in comparison to Bill Clinton's "Blue Light Special" on Presidential Pardons.

6. using 9/11 as an excuse for reducing the liberties of millions of innocent people. using 9/11 to start a war that has killed many thousands of people while waving the flag patriotically and hoping that we will forget what he didn't do in rvn.

Name ONE liberty that you've forfeited as a result of post 9/11 changes. One, just one. Not priveleges, actual rights. No one cares that he didn't serve in Vietnam. He was in the Guard. Stop acting like that is somehow dishonorable. If he pulled some strings to get there, so what. If you'd had that option you'd have done the same thing. At least he served.


thanks gwb

You're welcome, I'm sure. He's managed to keep you safe since 9/11. Sleep well while you can.

Addition - TomJohn, You are certainly entitled to you opinion of the President's military service. My point was that people of privilege rarely have to see combat. They do so only if they choose not to "pull strings".

Other than that, you haven't countered (because it would be untrue) any of the points I listed. Please don't let your blind hatred of President Bush interfere with you ability to analyze our situation since 9/11.

Answer 4

1. Those "tax breaks" are jump starting our economy. You know what happened when JFK and Ronald Reagan and George Bush gave tax cuts? It helped the economy boom. Now, what happens when the government tries to squeeze the rich to death? Just look at countries like Chile. The rich simply export their capital, producing no benefit for the country. The rich actually pay more than their "fair share" already, unless you are talking about Liberal hypocrits like Sen. Edward Kennedy who uses every tax dodge his accountant can conceive to protect his family's $500 fortune.

2) No comment. Believe what you want to believe, but don't try to drag me down into your own private hell.

3) ARE YOU JOKING? I hope you are, because I have frequently mocked people on Yahoo! Answers for asserting this idiocy. You can't force democracy on people. Freedom is the natural state of people, and democracy is merely the best instrument to deliver that freedom. What you are implying is like people in the 1800s saying, "That evil President Lincoln, forcing the negroes to live free. Doesn't he realize they like leg irons and whips?"

4) I'd need several pages to even touch upon this one! But do you really think that Bush's advisors, and think how many advisors a President avails himself of, didn't draft up different contingency plans for Iraq? Don't be absurd. Plans are always drawn up.

5) How can Libby "out" a CIA agent who has a desk job? She was not undercover. They only charged Libby with obstruction of justice. In contrast, Clinton pardoned Marc Rich who then gave the Clinton's MILLIONS AND MILLIONS for his library.

6) The Patriot Act has not harmed one innocent person. I defy you to prove otherwise. Go ahead. Look at those slimy blogs like MoveOn.org There is nothing. Case closed.

Now, let me thank President Bush for turning around the smoke and mirrors economy of Clinton. When all those obscenely inflated high tech stocks burst, it reduced people's assets by hundres of billions of dollars, wiping out many people's retirement savings. Then 9-11 cost the economy $180 billion, but Bush has supported sustainable, real economic growth, and unemployment is now low. 132,000 jobs added last month. Thank you for keeping us safe for the last 6 years. Thank you for pressing Libya into renouncing WMD's, for getting Saudi Arabia to stop playing both sides of the fence in the war on terror, and getting Pakistan as a firm ally. Their aid has been incalculable. Thank you for the "No Child Left Behind Act". Now children must learn, or the under-performing schools will close and the children will be educated elsewhere. Finally, someone brave enough to tackle the problem in a way that is guaranteed to work.

Answer 5

That's just for starters!

I still wonder why the Bush family has bought 100,000 acres of land in Paraguay with the Rev. Moon!!!?!?!?!?!?

Perhaps because fallout in the Northern Hemisphere won't affect the Southern Hemisphere?

Things that make you go..Hmmmm!!

Answer 6

I would like to thank GWB for not invading my home. He's misguidance and dishonesty with the us is appalling. I am ashamed of my president and his unethical treatment of the American people and it's government....

Note to the "Decider" (If he's eavesdropping on this, too):
Yes. That's right, Mr. Bush. The American government belong to the citizen's the Republicans AND the Democrats, not just you.

Answer 7

All of those are certainly fair as your opinions. But they are just that....opinions and some of them are just speculation. The tax break thing is true, but that's a good thing in my opinion, and I'm not even rich! The rest are just your opinions that you are welcomed to, but don't tell me to hate Bush because of your reasons.

Answer 8

I agree with all of those and I think i could come up with a dozen more.. he is a terrible president and an even worse human being.

Answer 9

This absolutely has to be the greatest thing in the world. Thank God we only have another year with asswhipe Bush.

Answer 10

I can't wait until January 2009!
