[southernleftylady]

tia

[GOPFighter]

1. I believe government should work for the people, not...

...corporations!

[calico1]

2. His policies.

[LeftHander]

3. He stole the 2000 election. nt

[rogerashton]

27. agreed.

If this is not repudiated, there will be more coups d'etat.

[searchingforlight]

4. I don't support one thing he has done.

[mediaman007]

5. He is the anti-Christ

[LisaL]

6. How can you pick just one

How can you pick just one reason, there are so many?
I didn't like him when he was selected, but as time went on, because of everything he was doing, I liked him less and less and less.

[mermaid]

9. My Thought Exactly!!

Well, I'll isolate the THREE things about Bush that piss me off the most, and they are all pretty general, and lots of what he has done can fallunder these generals:

1. The economy

2. Federal Marriage Admentment / Faith-Biased(misspelling intentional) Initiative/other pandering to the fundamentalist whackjobs.

3. foreign policy has made America hated throughout the world, and for what?

[Hubert Flottz]

7. He's a Nazi!

Not like one, but is one, and Gawddamnit, I didn't stutter!

[liveoaktx]

8. He believes he is above the law (... Abu Ghraib torture memos)

America's not supposed to be a monarchy

[Jokinomx]

10. Because he is an idiot....

all the rest of the reasons lead back to this one...:dunce:



:dem:

[sniffa]

11. cuz i Love john kerry

[H2O Man]

12. I have four children

and want them to have lives including children and grandchildren. Bush threatens human existance in many ways, none more serious in North America than his environment policies.

[RebelOne]

13. Because he is a moron and a liar, plus I despise him.

[Kahuna]

14. I knew he was a treacherous weasel the minute I laid my eyes on him...

nt

[ChipperbackDemocrat]

16. Ending The Chickenhawkocracy

The Cheap Labor Conservatives are being brave with other people's bodies for their own profit.

The United States Military is not a mafia collection agency. Our soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines are not thumb-breakers.

[PsychoDad]

15. Only one?

Afghanistan/Iraq war and the resulting war crimes.

Others would include:
Patriot Act
Palestine

[displacedtexan]

17. The Supreme W. Court

Administrations come and go.

Supreme Court Justices can live a long, long time!

[Rowdyboy]

20. Judges, judges, judges and

judges

[GiovanniC]

30. Exactly. My vote also.

n/t

[wolfgirl]

18. Voting against Bush & Co.

is voting for my children's future!

[deutsey]

19. He's an authoritarian, militaristic, anti-democratic theocratic thug

Other than that, he's ok. :puke:

[neebob]

21. Um, because he's wrecking everything?

Any more specific than that and it's too hard to pick a reason.

[stranger_with_candy]

22. Too many reasons...

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

23. 1. Fomenting the Iraq Invasion.

virtual tie with

Use of Propaganda and control of media outlets to control the people.

[Citizen Daryl]

24. I like living in the world.

I hate being seen as a pariah.

I hate being a pariah.

[chefgirl]

25. He's a LIAR

All things stem from that one simple fact.

-chef-

[against all enemies]

26. I have a brain.

[terrya]

28. The ultra right-wing agenda he and his adminstration wants to implement.

World wide domination. And a budget busting funded military to enforce it.

The slashing of social programs. Social Security and Medicare to be privatized. Budgets for programs like Head Start to be dramatically slashed.

The elimination of affirmative action. "Faith Based Initiatives" that would eliminate the separation of church and state once and for all.

The curtailment of civil liberties in a "war on terrorism". The constant need to keep the populace scared with constant color coded "terror alerts"

"Family Values" that is nothing more than government sanctioned homophobia.

This is why I hate George W. Bush...and will NOT vote for him.

[IdaBriggs]

29. Lying, Incompetent Traitor -- and Clean Meat.

No one talks about what he's done at the USDA regarding fecal matter in our meat on behalf of the meat packing industry (donated $59 Million), but having sat next to a six year old with e-coli for three months in the hospital unable to hold food down because she was constantly vomiting except for the three weeks she spent in intensive care while on machines that breathed for her...I haven't forgotten. My niece lived; other children haven't. For them, those in Iraq, and the orphans left over from him not doing his job prior to 9/11, I hope this man rots in hell.

[imax2268]

31. well....

Asshole comes to mind...!

But calling him an asshole would be an insult to real assholes everywhere...

so I'll just say that he's incompetent and not fit to run the country...

[CPschem]

32. This bumper sticker sums it up for me...

George W. Bush: Killing for Christ

[JuniperLea]

45. there ya go

killing in the name of...

[readmylips]

33. Nazi, Lier, Hitler Blood-line, Arrogant Chit...

born from baba nasty bush.

[Sputnik]

34. This sums it up perfectly! :)

http://www.n3t.net/humor/Seriously.mpg

[LiberalCat]

35. He's stupid.

Everything else follows from that.

[zanana]

36. I'm an angry white male

and my penis told me he's God.

[auburngrad82]

37. Honesty

I don't believe anything he says.

[SheepyMcSheepster]

38. he is dumb.

to put it simply.

[iconoclastic cat]

39. I believe he is a fascist, theocratic dictator waiting to happen.

I am deadly serious about this.

[emulatorloo]

40. Because "Bush Unbridled" in a second term will destroy us.

He will push his right wing foreign policy to greater extremes and our former allies will unite against us.
He will destroy social services in the US.
He will pack the courts with reactionary judges.

[onebigbadwulf]

41. Taxes, jobs, economy - it's all pretty much the same

And AWFUL.

[fudge stripe cookays]

42. He wants to send women back to 1900.

The combo of religion and politics is going to be a disaster for young women in this country.

[randome]

43. He has no style.

Arguably the worst shortcoming of any politician.

[Snellius]

44. Bush is full of bu**sh**

.

[phylny]

46. Number one,

he's dishonest.

Number two, he's turned allies against us.

Number three, I really don't think he's intelligent.

[Francine Frensky]

47. Because I love my country

Because I have three children

Because I believe in a large middle class

Because I don't want Four More Wars

And on and on

[OneBlueSky]

48. "Do you have blacks, too?" . . . the the president of Brazil . . .

dumb, dumber, dumbest . . . we need a president with a functional brain . . .

[cmf]

49. He's a Republican

That's enough for me. The fact that he's the worst president ever is just superfluous.

[Raenelle]

55. That's the original reason--Republican--but he sure has added to the list.

[wadestock]

50. #1 and #1

#1 - He is a puppet for Reaganomics gone mad under the new order of neoconism. The upper rate will be lowered eventually to 28% and then all this is really just a setup for their real push for a flat tax. This spells the final end to the middle class as we know it. Of course other economic disasters are intertwined in this.....overspending, the debt, outsourcing...etc...but the shuffling of money to the top for the lie that it brings increased revenues and economic gain is pure BS.

#1 - The War never should have been a WAR. He doesn't understand at all what the enemy really is....and supports simple take over of the Middle East. The 2 don't mix. You fight terrorism by constantly seeking out their identity, making arrests, securing the borders, doing things to thwart attacks at home...etc

[Adams Wulff]

51. Other than the fact that he was never elected in the first place?

If you want to be the President of the United States, I only have one prerequisite:

You have to be smarter than me.

Bill Clinton is way smarter than I am, Bush doesn't even come close.

[qwlauren35]

52. It's a toss-up...

Probably number 1 is fear of conservative judge appointments. To be honest, that's what keeps me voting Democratic in most presidential elections. And if it was a different Republican conservative president, I'd feel the same way.

But in terms of Bush in particular, I simply disagree so strongly with his foreign policy that I want him out of office before he starts WWIII. I remember when he got elected, I was afraid that he would single-handedly pull it off. At this point, I feel as though, if we elect him for a second term, we're basically giving him a mandate to declare war all over the world.

Even though I'm pissed about unemployment, unfair treatment of military personnel, lack of health care benefits, shipping jobs overseas, erosion of abortion rights, etc, those things seem to run far behind my top two.

[yellowcanine]

53. Umm - He's not Kerry?

.

[WLKjr]

54. I do not trust him with my life

I am thinking of joining the AF sometime next year(just thinking) and would not want this man having control over me to use me like a little tin soldier.

I also think this man is a lie and a fake

I also think he is not mentally capable of handling this country

I also think that he has taken us backward, not forward as a people

I also dislike the fake accent

I do not like his education, energy, foreign, domestic policies

I do not like the fact that his administration has ties to pretty much every special interest group you can think of


and the list goes on.

[ima_sinnic]

56. everything about him is contrary to morality and ethics

He is a blatant liar, incompetent, selfish, without conscience, anti-intellectual as well as not very bright, weak and ineffectual, bumbling, lazy, irresponsible, spoiled, conniving, greedy, untrustworthy, duplicitous and evil. Also a dumbass patsy of neocon puppetmasters.

did i forget anything? :D

[lpbk2713]

57. Because he stands before the rest of the world and represents ME.

And I regard him as a total embarrassment. I cringe every time he opens his stupid mouth and talks about "nucular" devices. I honestly believe his mental development must have halted when he was around ten years old.

You asked for the #1 reason. I could go on and on with many more.

[skygazer]

58. I don't vote Republican

on principle. I've never agreed with their platforms, their policies or their methods. Period.

[in_cog_ni_to]

59. I couldn't possibly choose just ONE reason.

There's so many! My TOP reason is ...He stole the 2000 election, had his brother and HIS cronies purge black voters from the rolls, stopped people from voting by changing their voting venues without telling them, set up road blocks so people couldn't get to their polling places and had daddy's SUPREME COURT select his ass.

I HATE GEORGE BUSH MORE THAN ANY OTHER CREATURE....DEAD OR ALIVE. HE'S PURE EVIL.

[stickdog]

60. When you are blatantly lying to us, don't compound the offense

by insulting our intelligence as well.

[AtTheEndOfTheDay]

61. For dragging us into unnecessary warfare

and thereby becoming a mass murderer of Iraqis and our own.

[nefarious]

62. He is the ugly face of American hegemony in the world

And has been complicit in swindling the American public into following the plans outlined in the Project for a New American Century.

Converting the middle-class-based American society to a feudal fiefdom is the ultimate goal of his meglomaniac puppetmasters.


Failures to stop terrorist attacks or to hold timely elections are a failure of democratic government.

Pray for the decisive repeal to the Bush junta.

[Columbia]

63. He's not John Kerry

[Buck Rabbit]

64. He stole my pants!

and I ain’t wearing them ever again. (Those wedgies Dick gives him leave a stain that’s never coming out.)

Other than that if I had to pick just one it would be his ability to take any issue from the environment, to terror, to energy and turn it into a profit opportunity for his good ole boy fiends err friends.
