Everyone I know hates Bush and says so many mean things about him. I'm starting to think he's a horrible person. Does anyone have a reason I should like him? Don't say pro-life or anything like that, because I don't agree with that. Please explain it in simple terms. Remember, I'm only 14, so don't get all worked up about it!

I HATE BUSH ugh he is soooooo stupid!

Hate is a strong word. I pretty much disagree with the way he is handling the country..For example, why is rebuilding Iraq more spend worthy than rebuilding our gulf coast? Why is it for the war money grows on trees, but for education, they're all tapped out. Ask your President why K-12 special education is not fully funded federally like it is suppose to be...

Oh my god, I think I've finally found someone more conservative than me.  Is it possible?\n\nHey, I am firmly against Hillary in the Oval Office.  There are two types of personality.  In the first type, the person rises to the occasion.  He realizes the solemnity and critical nature of the office.  Where once the candidate was flippant or cavalier about the issues, he now realizes he has the weight of the world on his shoulders, and he elevates his attitude and behavior to match the importance of his office.  That is Bush.\n\nThe second type of personality is susceptible to corrupting influences, and becomes drunk on power, even if the person believes his or her actions are altruistic.\n\nI'm afraid Hillary falls under the second category.  I too have heard her say some rather unsettling things.  They were not taken out of context; it is what she really meant to say.\n\nThe funny thing about liberals is they have almost everything completely backwards.  Consider the war in Iraq.\n\nBush once made the remarkable statement about "the soft bigotry of low expectations". I want you to remember that quote. Think about what he is saying. I've talked to a lot of liberals about the Iraqi conflict, and when I bring up the obvious point that millions of people have now been given the opportunity to live in freedom rather than tyranny, they prattle on, objecting with erroneous, irrelevant arguments. If I chide them enough, and make them hot under the collar, they will finally lose control and exclaim, "Oh come on, you don't really expect that a bunch of stupid, volatile, irrational Arabs can handle democracy, do you?"\n\nBush does not denigrate the people of the Middle East with the "soft bigotry of low expectations". Unlike the Democrats, he believes in their potential. He does not arrogantly belive that they can't handle democracy.\n\nThis same concept applies to democrats, especially liberal democrats.  Their whole outlook on life is mired in the soft bigotry of low expectations.  They constantly talk about how loving and compassionate they are, so they're going to make the government "help" us.\n\nMy response is, "If that's how you love me....PLEASE... don't 'love' me again!!!"

Yes, you have taken leave of your senses.  Bush is the president of the United States.  He's commander in chief of the most powerful military in the world.  He shouldn't be treated like a normal person because normal people don't have the power to blow up the world several times over.  We can't let him get away with things just to protect is feelings.  If he didn't want the job he wouldn't be president.  It's not really a job you can get without really wanting it.  And the humiliation and ridicule comes with the job.  If he didn't know that going in he also doesn't know how much we hate him.  Besides, he's earned those low approval ratings.  Would you feel bad for a murderer going to jail?  Think about how many deaths Bush is responsible for.  If you ask me, he's getting off easy.

Hating Bush is more important then saving lives to most wacko leftist people.\n\nThe leftist in this country backed Hitler also, so their love for murderers like Hussein is nothing new.\n\nDid God save the Jews, or did U.S. service men? idiot.\n\nNobody said that murder loving idiots can't speak their minds. Did anyone say that?\n\nSome people are just racists and put a price on human life, some people think all human life is equally important.

Because unfortunately this is what passes for political discourse for many in this country today. It is acceptable to criticize policies which you don't like. It is acceptable to dislike the man if you choose. A poster about above me stated that it is patriotic to criticize, I can accept that, but there is a difference between constructive criticism and absolute slander and many just appear to be unable to separate the two. Do not be deterred by the negative responses you have received here. If you like the President for whatever reason that is your right and speaking out about why you like him is perfectly acceptable. Your opinions are just as valid as any of the detractors. Freedom of speech is a double edged sword, while we may not like the things that are said it is still the right of people to say these things. In a perfect world people would intelligently discuss issues, but alas the world we live in is far from perfect.

unfortunetly, the Liberals are never FOR anything, they are always AGAINST things.  Look at their bumper stickers....ANYONE but BUSH!   IMPEACH BUSH    BUSH LIED   etc....but when you confront them to back up their statements, they just stammer and spew tripe  about their hatred.  They want us all to be as miserable as they are.  They don't want us to enjoy life.  I do feel sorry for them.  I would like to hear from them WHO and WHY and WHAT their agenda is.  Good question!

"Hate" is a powerful word...\n\nAnd...\n\nBush cut budgets from programs such as medicaid, food stamps, farm subsidies, agency budgets (such as from the Pentagon), and student loan programs.\n\nHe also raised premiums to employers for government insurance of their employees' and retirees' pension benefits and fees on students who default on loans or consolidate them and higher fees on parents who borrow on behalf of their college-age children.\n\nCalifornia Rep. George Miller (news, bio, voting record), the senior Democrat on the panel, called the package a "raid on student aid."\n\nBush also cut budgets from child support enforcement.\n\nBush tightened eligibility standards for foster care assistance in nine states and delay some lump-sum payments to very poor and elderly beneficiaries of Social Security's Supplemental Security Income program.\n\nBush also eliminated payments to industries harmed by unfair foreign trade practices.\n\n"They are targeting programs for poor people to pay for tax cuts for rich people," said Rep. David Obey (news, bio, voting record), D-Wis. Once those tax cuts are passed, Obey added, deficits will be increasing again.\n\nOn the student loan information sheet, the maximum amount a first-year college student could receive as a loan from the government is $2625 or somewhere in that proximity. That amount will cover less than 1/5 of college expenses for a university with annual expenses (everything including books, tuition, room & board, etc.) of $14,000.00. I know because I will be a first-year college student and I already feel the pressure.\n\nSo...\n\nDo I like Bush? Not really; I hate him; I hate him; I hate him; I hate him; I hate him; I hate him; I hate him. "Hate" is, indeed, a powerful word, much more powerful than "dislike," but it is so often used it is sometimes meaningless. I hate every f%^#*@$ thing Bush has done in office. Add one more word to "hate" and it has a whole new meaning. And I do hate every f%^#*@$ thing Bush has done in office.

George Bush is an alright man. I dont think the world of him but i dont think nothing of him. He is the president and he makes the desicions. Not the people. They do have a say in it, but George makes all the final ones. I dont understand why people complain about him. He has done nothing to harm them and has done nothing wrong. I think he is a good president

Hey I love Jesus 2!! People don't like Bush because their ignorant, arragonat fools with attetnion spans like a two year old. Basically, there just big fools.

Boy, you people are something.  I agree that there are people out there that just hate the military.  I have run into a few, they call me a murderer, mercenary, and all sorts of things.  But for a veteran to say he thinks that the war is a bunch of lies, that just tells me that you must have forgotten a few things since getting out.  The President will see more information than the public will ever see, and with this war the majority of the decisions he can choose to make are between two really bad choices.  It really bothers me that people think the President is doing such a horrible job, when they themselves couldn't do any better.  If you were President what would you do pull the troops out?  OK, what would you do when the fight follows them back here?  How would you react when we lose our Allies by pulling out?  How would you expect to recover the American way of life after you screw everything else up?  Before you criticize the President why don't you think about the desicions he has to make knowing that every move he makes is under the microscope.  Most of our troops know more about the war than civilians will ever know, and most of our troops support it and volunteer to go back.  When we declared war on terrorism Iraq was put in the crosshairs because it was supporting terrorism.  We did not declare war on just those involved on 9/11 we declared war on terrorism and any supporters of terrorism.  \n\nSince opinions are like ***holes, I know everyone is going to say something about me.  Frankly, I have probably heard worse than what you people could say about me, so if you really want to try and make me feel bad, embarass me, or anything like that you are just wasting your time.\n\nBTW, all you people that say vote Democrat, keep in mind that throughout history Democrats have gotten us into more wars than Republicans.  Even this war is a result of the inactions taken by a Democrat (Clinton).  So don't blame this entirely on Bush.

Well, Bush has repeatedly said that everyone who disagree with him is a terrorist who hates America.\n\nI just clicked the Politics link above, and found this\n\n  Why Are Liberals So Stupid and Hypocritical?\n\nThis is relatively mild, compared to a lot of the attacks I've seen on this site.

Why do you support him?  Some poeple support him because they think that if they don't, the terrorists will come and kill their family. It doesn't help that Bush and Cheney have actually SAID that.  I would have to know why you do support him in order to answer that question.

Though I'm not fond of Bush, you have the right to feel the way you do, you just have to develope a thick skin cause when it comes to politics, it's a cut throat game.  Besides, only history will tell if he was good or bad, & by then we'll have new people to bash.

People like Sports chic are so lost and need to question and not blindly support an unworthy leader.\n\nBush is too stupid tom be the Anti-Christ. He is a very bad example of what it is to be true Christian. He brings war to the Middle East and death to the innocent in the name of freedom. Now that's evil...so much they will know we are Christians by our love.\n\nHe's the worst US President ever to be in office. I voted for Kerry the lesser of two evils.

If Bush had been President during the past world wars, he would have been praised and glorified. Timing is everything. My questing is what do all these left wingers want? I think they'd rather be fighting here. Don't they realize that every time they say one bad word about Bush, they're giving ammunition to Al-Quaeda and all the other terrorists around the world. Even if I hated Bush, until this was all over, I would never say one bad word about him.My country comes first.
