Why all the "Bush bashing" ?

Question

Ever since Bush took office, there has been so much Bush bashing. Though I don't agree with everything he does, I don't he's as bad as many portray. The economy, for example, is doing pretty well, but he rarely gets credit for it.

So what is really going on here with all this "Bush bashing" ? And why are so many Americans buying into it ?

Just an FYI - I also didn't buy into the "Clinton bashing" either & thought he also did some good things during his administration (though again, I didn't agree with everything he did).

What I mean by "bashing" is going beyond just questioning & criticism. Calling Bash "Hitler", "moron", "liar", "worst president ever", "needs to be impeached", etc are examples of 'bashing'.

Answer 1

I don't know, but I totally agree with you that he doesn't get credit for anything good he does.

I guess it's just small minds that think it's cool to bash the president. I pity whoever the next one is.

Answer 2

I agree, with you next question how about listing all the positive things President Bush has done for the country. Since when is pointing out his failures bashing? How do you fight a global war on terror with open borders six years after nine-eleven? Where is Osama Bin Laden? How did our President manage to turn a surplus into our largest deficit ever in six years? Why did he want to give amnesty to millions of illegals? Why are Ramos and Campeon still in prison but Libby had his sentence commuted? Personally I don't buy into anything. You can tell me anything, show me. This President has shown me he deserves to be questioned about his actions.

Answer 3

Where have you been?
The economy? Have you noticed that houses are not selling, there are more foreclosures now then there has ever been in the last like 20 years or more. That is an economy that is not that bad? Millions of people are upside down on their mortgages.
That is bad. Really bad.
Health care insurance is through the roof and he has done NOTHING about it.
Do not get me started on Iraq, his oil buddies, and his lack of compassion for anything relevant in the world view.
What about hurricane Katrina? It took four days for him to do anything to help those people.
So I am not sure what he has really done right.
I think he deserves what is going on. He is an idiot.
I would love to give him credit for something good, I really would. I just do not see anything to give him credit for.

Read all 2,348 pages of diggs on Bush here:

Most of them are excellent reasons why Bush should be bashed.

Mind you, Bush is merely a figurehead of Skull and Bones, a fork of the Illuminati. The real people that should be bashed the most often are the Rockefellers, and the Rothschilds.

Answer 5

Oh I dunno,

Maybe its the fact that he lied about weapons of mass destruction,

Or that he allowed 9/11 to happen on his watch,

Or that he was like a deer in the headlights when Katrina wiped out a major US city,

Or that he illegally suspend habeas corpus,

Or all those illegal wire taps,

Or the illegal firing of US attorneys general who refused to use their offices to go after his Democratic foes,

Or his total lack of understanding about what it would take to prepare a military force to go into Iraq and stay there.

Yes, he certainly has impacted the economy. When Bush seized power in 2001 a gallon of unleaded regular cost $1.47. What is it now?

The market is in a credit meltdown,

The Chinese hold the mortgage on the US,

And good paying jobs have been shipped overseas.

So take your pick, why do YOU think Bush gets bashed?

Answer 6

They get it from liberal hate radio!

Diebold Stole the Election, Bush planned 9/11, Fire can’t melt steel, Rove outed the CIA Desk Jockey, 16 Words from Africa, Rove is the devil, Bush was AWOL, Bush used COKE, Bush got a DWI, Bush lied, Kids Died, Reagan armed Iraq, DIEBOLD, Corporations wrote the energy bill, Cheney is the Devil, I hate NEOCONS!

Answer 7

It is a natural consequence of the over-the-top divisive politics of Karl Rove and other RNC operatives. If you dish it out, you can expect to get some of it back.

Answer 8

Its Bush derangement syndrome...it start with the Moron Al Gore supporters not being able to figure out how to punch their chads properly and it has spread quicker than AIDS.

Answer 9

because certain groups operate under the pathetic notion that making someone else look bad makes them look good. if you take the time to chew what the media is feeding you, you'll spit it out like most, or you'll just swallow like sheep.

Answer 10

Well guess the dark side can not think of anything positive to say or propose.
