Im a leftist and I don't hate Bush.  I disagree and dislike him but hate is a strong word.\n\nGoing into the war isn't necessarily the war crime.  War crimes can be mutliple things.  Look up all the laws of what constitutes a war crime, or search: GEORGE BUSH'S WAR CRIMES to get a list.  The site will be biased but that's where the people are coming from.

You guys just don't get it. It is not about hate. It is about public policy. In just about every policy decision he has made he has demonstrated either clueless ignorance, craven indifference, laziness, outright lying, or gutless pandering to line the pockets of his cronies.\n\nI don't hate him; I pity him. But I do hate what he has done to the country. We deserve better than an incompetent, ignorant, clueless, dishonest, greedy, part-time president.\n\nIt is all about choices. For some reason, George Bush just cannot stop making the wrong ones. I'm with Newt Gingrich (imagine that!), who said last month that the Democrats' slogan for the 2006 midterm elections should be "Had enough?"\n\nI for one have certainly had enough. If you haven't, maybe you aren't really paying attention.

Even though I do not agree with all of his decisions, I COMPLETELY respect him and cannot stomach the bashing that goes on.  This country is full of hollywood worshiping idiots that cannot think for themselves.  They think it is just COOL to hate Bush.... so pathetic.

There is alot of hatred and most stems from the Gore/Bush campaign.They made a premature call of the election and tried to discredit our military votes by taking it to court to have them thrown out of the count because they were a few days late coming in from overseas.Instead of debating an issue its easier for them to name call.Ie,they called our president Hitler,called conservatives Nazi's and call our troops terrorists..,thank you howard dean,yet they wonder why President Bush doesnt want to work with them?It doesnt take a rocket scientist to figure that one out.

I've been to war & lost friends, & I like the guy. What's he ever done to any of you. Why is your rhetoric always so hateful? Are you so bitter as that? Run a moderate already. Swing voters won't vote for a liberal. Conservatives never liked how liberal Bush was, but they wanted to win so compromised on someone that could appeal to the middle. Why is this always so advesarial though? Why can't people have arguments on reason & logic & do so with mutual respect. You can dislike everything about the President, but grow up alreay with the tone & behavior, why do you think you can't break into the rest of the country.

I find that frustrating as well. They seem to behave like spoiled bad-sports about everything, and they just argue the surface points with as much justification as they can muster (even to the extent of bringing in conspiracy theory) rather than adding depth by getting to the deeper causitive details. Very Immature!\n\nI really don't understand why they hate Bush so much PERSONALLY. You could hate all his policies & so much of what he's done, but why is it personal? And, just for the sake of argument lets say a Republican wins in 08, are they then going to hate that guy like this too? Why all the hate? Is it about not being able to win an election? That might have something to do with running liberal candidates that swing voters won't go for, or the fact that most of America doesn't agree with their agenda. At some point they have to accept reality and shift their party closer to the center. In the meantime, how many elections do they have to lose before they realize they aren't the mainstream? Those are all serious questions by the way.

Dislike intensely. I do not think he is trustworthy at all. I think he has lined the pockets of his friends (Halliburton!) at the expense of the middle-class. I think he is a big international bully; if other countries did some of the things Bush as ordered done, like invade another country without the support of the UN, Bush would have invaded them, too.  I also find it offensive how Bush and the rest of the Administration think the public are a bunch of sheep--- really, a $100 gas check, but I have to say it is OK to drill in the Alaskan Wildlife Preserve? What kind of deal is that? And how dumb do you think I am, if you think I would accept that?\n\n I think we need to break the Republican stranglehold on power in the upcoming elections.  And I voted, like I always do.  So I am allowed to complain!

Because they hate him

First of all: I'm just as liberal as anyone you're likely to meet.  I'm also a Jew, so this is sort of a touchy subject.\n\nBush, among other things, has never expressed the desire to completely wipe out any race or religion.  He also doesn't tend to kill people who disagree with him.\n\nSeriously: hate on Bush all you want, but can you please find a new analogy?

Well, the economy has improved (since and despite 9/11 and Katrina). And he didn't draft citizens for his wars.\n\nBut I still hate Bush, particularly since he (and most of his base) are homophobic, want to protect their own secrets while trying to find ours, and their base would gladly form their own Christian theocracy in the middle of America if they could.

Wow, its incredible how ignorant, and biased some of you answerer's are. Do you know how Bush is like in person? How can you attack him personally when you don't have the slightest clue about what goes on in his life, his mind and how he is as a character?\n\nMost of you are being manipulated by the media. You are blindly following every word they say. Do you really know why there is a war with Iraq? Or are you just repeating the media. I bet most of you don't have a clue whats really going on and all the problems Bush has to deal with- including  judgmental people like you and the Media. \n\nI wonder ,could you do a better job at being the President of the United States? \nJust think. No.

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...

Some people need heroes and some need demons.  Bush is no dunce when it comes to politics.  I don't know if hate is stronger than love but it surely will outlast it every time.

While I have some concerns about some of the actions initiated by the President Bush (such as some elements of the Patriot Act) but by and large he is a dedicated and sincere President.\n\nI say this though I have never supported him in an election, but I make a distinction between such reservations and the blatant, unsubstantiated assertions made about the President.  I have no doubt that there are those who want a different president, that is obvious with the virulent yelling of hatred which is so often seen here.  However, I suggest that those who sincerely want a change that there should get involved with political actions which will lead to such change.  To do that is an act of a mature person.  To continue to scream hatred is childish and ineffectual.

I don't "hate" Bush, I just think he's a bit thick . . . I felt he went about the Afghan and Iraq wars the wrong way.  It has just stirred up even more hatred towards the West - the Muslims who bombed London on 7/7/05 used Britains' involvement in these wars as an excuse, and this has led to a lot of bad feeling from Brits about the whole conflict and Blair getting involved with Bush's war.\n\nBut honestly, given the choice I side far more with America that I ever could with the Muslim Terrorists.  \n\nYes I grew up with Muslims in school etc (we all did over here) but I can't say I ever had any Muslim friends or have any sympathy for the radical cause.  I spent far more of my time around Hindus, many of whose parents had been driven out of North India by Muslim violence, plus I've had some really bad experiences with Muslims throughout my life, I feel far more trusting of Hindus than I ever will of a Muslim due to these experiences. \n\nSo I'm not one of those Brits who says "I have Muslims friends and they are great" or has any sympathy for their cause.  \n\nI was disgusted at 9/11 and canot accept any excuse for it.  I was even more horrified when it hit our own shores on 7/7 and the latest arrests of Muslims trying to blow up British people.  It makes me very angry.\n\nSo if I had to choose either Muslims or Bush I'd choose Bush, I just don't really like him  and I really wish he hadn't drawn the UK into his war as its not done us any good at all.  The money wasted on that war should have been put to better use (health care, housing etc) in the UK.
