What exactly do I have to believe in to be a certified Bush hater?

Question

Do have to believe that TRUE perpetrators of evil in the world are somehow good and decent human beings with the world's intersts at heart.

Do I believe believe that Osama is a reasonable person and think we seek dialog with him, and Bush has not.

Do I have to believe its my job to preserve Bill Clintons tainted reputation, because he was the better man. So, if Bush succeeds that will make Clinton a failure.

Or do I just have to be completly insane?

Answer 1

Turn on CNN, and turn off your brain.

Answer 2

I have a question for you. Do you know who signed NAFTA? Do you know how many companies have deserted American workers and moved overseas and to Mexico since NAFTA? I have no idea what Bill Clinton did to make you like him so much, but the after effects of a president's decisions immediately before leaving the office are often blamed on the incoming president. It is amazing that the majority of democrats who loved the image of Clinton caring about the poor are suffering now more than ever due to the massive loss of production jobs which fed and supported mostly democratic families (the ones that actually have jobs). There is no point in hating the president. The world is messed up because of a lot more people and a lot more years than our president has any power over.

Answer 3

What we're dealing with here is a spoiled rotten kid at the grocery store check out line where the candy is kept. They're going to keep throwing their tantrum until they get what they want and if that includes hating the cashier, mom, dad, and the stock boy, they'll do it. Don't worry, they'll be all smiles once they get what they want - and there will be no problems in the world until the next shopping trip.

Answer 4

Prior to GW Bush's election, "conservative" political views primarily meant a desire for a small government with minimal impact on private lives. That previous definition has little to do with support or dislike for the current President.

I'll not use your words, but to be one who believes the county would be better off had someone else been nominated and elected one must believe in:

1. Compentency; a well-managed Executive Branch with important positions filled by capable managers rather than political appointments.

2. A balaced budget rather than heavy borrowing from communist China to be repaid by our children and grandchildren.

3. Truthfulness, rather than the continued attempts to re-write history. An honest reflection of mistakes or decisions. The continued linking of Iraq to 9-11 is an example as we were attacked by Arabs not Persions. Faith would be increased he would admit that the reasons given for the war proved unfounded but now we have even greater problems because of the war and cannot leave until we somehow fix those.

4. Security for ourselves and our children. The war in Iraq was about the ability to re-develop an oil-rich nation just as we did very profitably in Saudi Arabia. Unfortunately, just as many of us predicted and deeply feared at the time, the invasion left an unwinnable and deathly situation for us, made life much worse for most Iranian citizens than it was, created a great recruitment vehicle for those who wish to force their relegious views on others, killed an enemy of our enemy and diluted our abililty to destroy Al Qaeda and The Talaban to the point of impotency, and created such instability that we must now worry about an Islamic revolution in Pakastan and our military incapability to secure nuclear weapons there should the need arise. Our most urgent threat is now Al Qaeda Iraq, a group that was not allowed to exist prior to the invasion.

5. A raging hatred for bin Ladin and disgust that we let him off the hook for his autrocities and have allowed him to rebuild and re-plan.

6. A deep love and respect for the good men and women in our armed services who will go where they are charged to go by our citizen government.

7. Science

8. Separation of Church and State

9. Leaving a bountiful world for our children and grandchildren.

Answer 5

I'd say all of the above.

@Baccheus: #8... God forbid we have a President that isn't afraid to confess his belief in Christianity! That would just make your world fall down around you here and now, right?

Pssh.

You act like Bush is personally forcing you to read a Bible.

Answer 6

None of the above.

You just have to understand that he has severely abused our basic rights as Americans - the ones he claims to be protecting - while totally botching the struggle against terrorism with an unnecessary and horribly executed war.

Answer 7

not much Grey area there


I think GW Bush has crystallized our differences here in the US, and galvanized our anger

he has divided us as a nation and pushed us to take sides ... you obviously chose yours

personally I'd rather talk about what we can do to better communicate coming into this next election ... and how not to pre-judge before we understand what someone is trying to say

I dont think youre insane ... I think youre angry and misguided

Answer 8

D. Delusionaly insane.

Answer 9

Well.... You can just believe you hate Bush.. Then you would be a certified Bush hater... Everything else is just a reason to not like the person..

Answer 10

You have to believe in the Constitution and the rights and priveledges it gives us, then you will see more about what Bush has been doing wrong.

Answer 11

You just have to have average or above average intelligence, an adequate education, a good sense of what's moral and just, a respect for the truth, ears to hear with, and eyes to see.
