Bush haters not getting the point?

Because we have the right to exercise our freedom of speech. \n\nBush is ruining our country. Not helpin it. The cost of living is so high now, so all the lower and middle class americans are suffering. Yet all the high class folk are reeping the benefits of having Bush in power. Gas prices are a shame. The Unemployment rate is higher than it has been in decades. And you expect us just to sit here and wait it out 3 years? When are the Americans gonna stand up and say, "We've had enough?!?!?" When gas is $6 a gallon? When all of our jobs are givin to illegal immigrants. \nI am not republican or democratic. I vote for the person who is suitable to run our country. I didn't vote for a C average student. I would want someone who would benefit us. Not destroy our country. Send out our brothers and sisters out to die. Good job voters! U picked a real winner there.

The problem is that if people blame Bush's idiocy for our troubles, they probably also think that the solution would be to get him out of office, but if they think we'll be saved by "Hillary in '08," or any other politician, they're even slower than Bush. \n\nRegardless of who's occupying the White House, there has never been an idiot running this country. There's too much power and money at stake for an idiot to gain control of it. If the president is an idiot,(And He IS An Idiot) he's only in the White House because someone else has firm control over him. Someone somewhere has a lot more control over the fate of this nation than our "president" does. \n\nOf course this reasoning begs the question "if this country isn't being run by an idiot, why is everything going so horribly wrong?" The answer is that it's going wrong by design. \n\nMany Citizens Make the assumption that this country is being run by people who are acting in the interest of Americans, but nothing can be further from the truth. Instead of accusing Bush of doing a lousy job, or being a lousy president, please try to think in terms of Bush's "boss" being someone other than the American people, and his "job" as being to grab as much cash as he can for himself and his friends before driving this country into the ground. \nIf you look at his presidency in that light, you can instantly see that he's doing a marvelous job, and he's the best "president" an enemy nation could ever hope to see in the White House.The fact of the matter is that America as we know it (or knew it) is being systematically destroyed, and the politicians from both political parties are making this possible.

Well, isn't asking questions like you ask a way of looking for debate? I happen to agree with your viewpoint, but when I see a question like "Why can't we all be good Americans & just support our great President Bush?", I get pretty hot under the collar myself. People like to argue, and hope to somehow "convince" you that you are wrong. Human nature. Keep asking questions, not just here, but everywhere.

I'm not George Bush fan, but thanks nonetheless for this question.   Hopefully, some of those who are blinded by their hatred will learn to "simmah down" a little.  To be credible with criticism, you've got to maintain perspective.  I see some have already succombed to temptation, and demonstrated that they can't operate within the constraints of the question . . . sad really.\n\nMuch as I find to dislike about him, I also do find some good things.  He is willing to stick to his principles, even when he fully knows it is politically unpopular.  He has tried (unsuccessfully) to change the poisonous atmosphere in D.C.   He has complimented Clinton, minimized the attention placed on the Clinton destruction and plundering of the White House when they left, made real outreach to include Kennedy, Hillary, and other opponents.  All of which has been reciprocated by nastiness.   As you point out, he is a stellar role model for fitness.  And if you admire his wife Laura, as I do, you have to consider that she chose him for her husband: a pretty powerful endorsement.

Okay... You could pick five random answers I've given and figure out just how much love I haven't lost for Bush... but god damn! You agenda people are getting on my last nerve. Did you miss the subtle bus or something? Woohoo... we get it... you don't like the war. Hey, here's an idea! How about asking a pointed question that gets only opinionated responces, dividing your answers into two easily definable groups. Then lets add lots of exclimation points, because that makes everything better!!!!

I am Dem and I dont have a high opinion of the man....I think that Bush is Cheney's puppet and is continuing what his father could not finish....Have you noticed that all of the people nominated to his cabinet have either been a former director of CIA or a part of Bush Sr's administration...clearly Baby Bush is continuing the dynasty and it has to end now\n\nHowever, while I cant stand him, I dont appreciate people from other countries posting negative comments about our president....Im a citizen of USA and I can criticize him if I want but dont stare from the outside looking in and think you have the right to bash....He is our leader and yes he needs lot of work but look at what's happening in your own country with your own leaders before you start bashing mine

RIGHT ON POPS!!!\n\nI come here on a daily basis and I see all these posts made by the youth of this country who, through no fault of thier own, are victims of manipulation by the liberal media.\n\n"I hate Bush"..."He's (President Bush, I assume) is killing EVERYBODY (oh, really?)..."He's (the President, again) a liar!"  \n\nYou know, I don't even have a heart to get angry at comments like these anymore.  They're just parroting lies themselves, being spoon-fed disinformation by the media, who aren't even interested in un-biased reporting, but only interested in promoting their narrow interests, and will go as far as they need to accomplish their goals.\n\nI wish folks would wake up and not just willingly believe everything that the Big 3, and the rest of the liberal media tells them.\n\nAdded 1/21@1224 E.S.T.\n\nMs. Sparkles:\n\nYou've only reinforced exactly what I was saying.  Look who you're quoting...The Washington Post?!?  Please...talk about promoting an agenda!\n\nAl Gore lost the election SIX YEARS AGO...it's time folks begin to let it go, and get on with fixing the democratic party.  The dems and liberals at this point are really at danger of losing every bit of credibility they have...they already lost a lot to the likes of the Clintons and the others who are full of shrill rhetoric and hatred.\n\nWhen the democratic party and the current liberal hierarchy re-learn what true liberalism is about, that's when they'll get their house in order again.  The way things are going now...

Yes, there are many people who love Bush and think all of his stumbles and gaffes were made up by the media.  These are the same people who think that if you criticize the president, you are somehow giving comfort to "the enemy" and are a traitor.  They say they believe in America and the flag, but they would stifle freedom of speech in the name of patriotism.  They scare me because if there are enough of them, they can destroy America and all that it stands for.

"Hate" is such a despicable word. However, one  look at the Bush track record, and it's easy to see why George W. Bush was recently voted the "least admirable" man in America!\n\nIn collusion with his brother Jeb, Bush stole the first election, then did it again in the second election. He dumped America into an illegal, unconstitutional war for two reasons: to 'get even' with Saddam Hussein for humiliating George H.W. Bush during Desert Storm in the early 1990's - and to get all or Iraq's oil (actually, that's on Big Dick Cheney's wish list so he can make all his oil-drenched buddies even more obscenely wealthy than they already are). \nBush lied to the American people about weapons of mass destruction. He showed no remorse for all the thousands of Iraq people he's killed, nor has he shown any remorse for the 2,500 U.S. soldiers that his dirty little war has killed. Bush is a spoiled rich kid whose daddy got him out of harm's way while making it appear that he was serving time in a military unit. Macho man that he is, he was still allowed to fly fighter jets because he thought that would be 'cool'. \nHe's snuggled up to big business, special interest groups, the wealthiest individuals in this country, and lobbyists, all of whom can pour millions of dollars into the Republican party. But he's totally neglected the environment; the state of our fragile ecology; the poor, disabled, sick, hungry, and underprivileged in this country; and he's pretty much sold the middle class down the tubes. Because of his reckless policies, the next generation of Americans will live in a two-class society, just like they do in Haiti and the Dominican Republic: the very, very rich and the rest of us, the very, very poor. Americans are now trillions of dollars in debt, which will take generations to pay off. Bush has allowed credit card companies and pharmaceutical companies to cheat people with usurious interest rates and service charges and drugs that might actually shorten their lives!\nBush is a cowboy capitalist who should be impeached...or at least tried for high treason, and - if convicted - he should stand before a firing squad. He has turned America into an "evil empire" that mistrusts its own citizenry, lies to protect its own greedy interests, and spies on anyone that's not liked.\nIt's hard NOT to hate an impotent, stupid, selfish man like Bush.\n\nWatch www.blogger.com for a new 'blog' called BUSHWACKER!\n\nDick Cheney and Don Rumsfeld are just as evil (if you could life their scalps, you'd find "666" underneath their receding hairlines). Surely there's a special oil-saturated corner of Hell reserved for these three demons, where they can spend their eternal damnation.

Bush's enemies hide behind freedom of speech to bash him.  No,  they dont respect anything, including themselves.   They dont have any better ides or plans than Bush, but they are quick to criticize.   I will never vote Democrat again unless they stop their attacking and start thinking.    As a voter I dont want to hear what they are saying now,   I want ideas, vision,  and a plan that makes sense.   Until then,  I hope they continue to lose every election.

I find these types of questions and responses fascinating.  I have never supported President Bush but to act disrespectful by using derogatory bumper sticker name calling is the most childish approach I can imagine.  \n\nAlthough I don’t agree with him on a number of issues, I cannot imagine referring to him in such a way and doing so only makes the caller appear not informed or not bright or both.  If you don’t care for some of his actions, then identify those specific actions and offer alternatives.  Further, develop a political approach to achieve your offered solutions.  \n\nIt seems to have become the in thing to do to name call the president and make slanderous statements about him.  Its like listening to a herd of sheep when one bleats and then all of the others follow suit none knowing what their bleating about.\n\nAlthough most of the Michael Moore wannabes can’t stand the idea President Bush has done some positive things and he should be recognized for doing so.  Politics is not a game for bumper sticker mentalities but rather, for people to become involved for whatever you support and work to get it accomplished.  .

I'm going to have to quote Sherasi here (you wrapped this up perfectly): Personally, I neither hate or love President Bush. He has been an adequate president doing nothing outstanding or terrible in either direction.  (Now here's my part).  As for the WMD's it is possible that they haven't been found.  However, and I don't think I'm speaking alone when I say this, given the tone of the Administration, the UN speech by Colin Powel and George Bush's own firey speeches, I was under the impression that the WMD posed a clear and present danger to us our or our friends in Europe (them being closer, it would be easier to get a missle there).  Therefore, even though I wasn't an avid war supporter, I did expect there to be some sort of major find (again, just because of the tone).  After these years, though it is possible that they are well hidden, the United States has sent top experts of our own (so the crack towards the UN in an earlier answer was pointless), along with spy planes, ground-penetrating radar and computer logistics simulations that could track the likely path of any movement.  I believe the weapons did exist, at one time, but were destroyed or moved.  The fact that the supposed weapons haven't been found then should NOT be seen as a 'victory' for Democrats or a 'defeat' to Republicans.  It should, if we go on the premise that Bush was telling the truh, be a cause of great alarm:  Where are these weapons? Could enemies be plotting against us right now?  It is very sad (and alarming) how even something as overtly destructive as biotoxins suddenly becomes political in this toxic political atmosphere.  And to address you additional comment, if the weapons are one day found, I would hope that the 'Bush haters' say "It looks like we made a mistake".  However, you and I and everyone here knows d*mn well that we're not that forgiving in America, and that - unfortunately - is the reason many foreign policy blunders (and that's aimed at all Presidents, not just Bush) go not only unapologized for, but are compensated by compoundingly disastrous steps.

The Anti-Bush questions don't bother me so much. We live inb a pretty partisan environment and Bush is a controversial figure. You either love him or hate him it seems. The questions that astound me are all the 9/11 Conspiracy questions. There seem to be more every day when 9/11 has been a settlted matter the moment 100+ Million people watched it happen right in front of them. Now, apparently, it was all smoke and mirrors.... *rolleyes*

I take it by reading the other post that repuglicans don't like it. It is just such a shame that they can't answer an honest question with an honest answer. Oh well what can you expect from Bush supporters, all 29 of them that are left.\n\nisn't bree123 special, Ann Coulter is real. LOL

... the polls (even those on Fox News) are clear... around 70 or so percent don't support Bush....\n\nBush supporters say if you don't support him, you're against him and you're a liberal....\n\nThat's a lot of liberals...\n\nThe conservatives have clearly lost touch... they think that no matter what they facts say, that 75 percent of America still supports Bush and that they have a large majority, even though they barely beat Kerry... basically, many of them seem to be delusional and don't care about facts or the numbers
