Why do you hate the President?

That 'gremlin thing' that you mentioned has caught me out once or twice too (as well as my own keyboard ineptitude); but, as you'll see from above, it's easily sorted.
I was looking at your reply to the thread and realized that if you replace US with UK, and Britain for America, much the same applies here. I have become totally disallusioned with politics. I'm afraid that it's a case of 'heads you win, 'tails' I loose. People here seem to vote for whomsoever would appear to be trying to make them richer. It's sad, but I guess we're stuck with it!

I hate the President because he pretends he's so compassionate to get people to vote for him. FOr example, his 2003 foreign aid allotement to Africa was about 15 million dollars, I think, and it was supposed to go to fighting the AIDS epidemic whiping out thousands of people mercilessly.
The money's purpouse is to provide education services to prevent the further spreaad of the malady, but bush earmarked the money only for sex education that's based on Abstinence-only. Abstinence only education is known not to work primarily through intensive studies. Astinence-based education is the worste type, because it doesn't take into account human nature. People will have sex, and if you don't teach them how to go about doing it properly, they will do it improperly, especially in primitive nations with very quaint cultures.
George Bush is pushing that the money be earmarked for abstinence becaues that's his religious agenda. The Fundamentalists and other religious groups are notoriously anti sex education unless it's abstience. This poses a problem.
Tax payers are paying for foreign aid which we know does little to nothing to stop the spread of AIDS, yet Bush continues to fund programs that don't work so he can look good on one hand, pacify the religious right on the other. It's not legitimate, and it's making me mad. I don't mind paying to treat AIDS and prevent it, but I don't like paying taxes and watching that tax money throw down the Atlantic Drain. Meanwhile, people think the donations are so good, but many don't realize for what they really are intended.

i dont hate bush, because hate leads to suffering. I hate all of his policies, his foreign agenda, and also his ever-changing reason about the war in Iraq. First it was weapons of mass destruction, and now it is liberating the iraqi people. which one george? also, i think he's destroying the enviroment and his no child left behind act isn't doing anything. he also bows to the will of the corporations and pretty much is a puppet to their desires.

The only thing I support Bush on is national security. Every other issue hinges upon it.
But Bush's policies have infuriated the Middle East and brutalized countless families and individuals, majik. He's created a hundred America-hating potential terrorists for every one that existed before the invasion. America is less secure than ever.
If I'd seen my wife and children blown up or starved; my home destroyed; my livelihood gone and the carnage continuing, I can't say I wouldn't be looking for an explosive belt to strap on myself.

I am all in favor of the President's retirement program. His OWN retirement program. 3 years, 10 months, and 25 days till we have our country back!

In that vein, does anyone have any opinions about impeachment? I know I'm all for it, but wonder if it might even be theoretically possible...NetDoc said:

Why do I hate Bush?
Don't exactly hate him, maybe a luke-warm approval.
I think he swings the political doggie-door way too far to the right, to the point of it breaking off.
Only a few issues I support Bush on, one of them is terrorism. The only reason I supported Bush is because I felt that terrorism should be out absolute #1 priority, and I believed he could handle it better.
I honestly think McCain would have made a GREAT president, and I like his style, he's a bit more independent, you might even be able to consider him a moderate conservative, sorta like me.

I don't hate him, but I'm very wary of him. It will be interesting to see what history will have to say about W.

I have to say that I do not hate Bush - I do find him to be incredibly ignorant, arrogant, hypocritical, self-serving, and shallow - but I do not hate him. For my money, he appears to be the most ignorant President to have been in the Oval Office in my lifetime, and only the political guile of Karl Rove could have kept him propped up long enough to scare the religious right into ignoring everything but the homophobic hatemongering that got W into office.
Other than that, he's a fine man, worthy of our respect ....
