1. Sense of Injury

Yep, I have a sense of injury from him and his scumbags. So should John McCain....

[yardwork]

2. Intense hostility and aversion....

yes, that works.

[LWolf]

3. No.

Hate is nonproductive and self-destructive.

I just want him retired from public influence.

[Cleita]

7. Eh, couldn't we put him on trial too?

I don't think a man who has committed the crimes he has, should be allowed to walk into the sunset without being brought to justice.

[LWolf]

8. Sure.

I don't think, in the end, he would get justice, though. I just don't think the American justice system will treat a president, or former president, like it does every day criminals.

Here's some justice outside that system: I believe he will go down in history as the worst president to ever profane the position.

18. OK how about

i hate what he stands for,i hate what he's doing to this country, i hate the arrogant smirk, i hate that i have a leader who is arguably the worst president in history, i hate that he has made me look differently at this country-if there is anyone i hate its him and his crew

[calimary]

4. LOATHING. Pretty well describes it for me.

[Straight Shooter]

5. Loathing. Would throw up on his shoes if he showed up at my door.

:puke:

6. I try not to.

1) Hate is a deeply personal emotion. I don't hate Bush because I am not able to. I do not know him well ehough to hate him.

2) It's wasted energy. A really good hate takes a great deal of energy to maintain. Energy better spent on more prodective emotions.

3) Hate is bad Karma. 'Nuff said on that point.

9. I try not to

but yet again I fail. "Intense hostility and aversion usually deriving from fear" fits the bill just perfect. I used to think of * as a joke, but the tables turned and now the joke is on me it seems.

[Bettie]

10. NO

I disagree with everything he stands for or pretends to stand for.

I believe him to be an extremely misguided (to put it kindly) and unintelligent person.

But I don't hate him. I don't know him and I try not to use the word hate, especially since the republicans used it so frequently with President Clinton.

Hate will eat the one who hates, but in the end, does no harm to the hated one. In fact, us saying we hate him only strengthens their belief that they (the Repubs) are persecuted.

He needs to go and do whatever it is he does in Crawford permanently because he is really making a mess of the country that we all love.

[Walt Starr]

11. Hate is a strong word

and yes, I hate the man.

[noonwitch]

12. No, I just want him out of office.

I don't hate him, although I do fear the repercussions of his actions as President and the results of any future actions of his.

[Ms. Clio]

13. Not just him

I loathe the entire criminal gang.

[eridani]

14. Yep. Nowhere near as spiritually advanced

--as my political mentor Dennis Kucinich.

[leftofthedial]

15. despise

loathe

abhor

detest

can't stand

et cetera

16. hate bush?

he doesn't know me from adam, so should i give this figurehead any portion of my karma-no way. bush is hanging himself on his own self-righteous rope. the guy just barely won in 2000 and not by the voters but by the courts. he also has ruined the economy, embarrassed the country with his kaiser wilhelm antics, and has angered most of the civilized world against us. let me tell you all right now- bush is not going to be re-elected. my serotonin is all mine and to lose any of it by means of personal anger with a political interbred is a activity i choose to pass on.

[Lou_C]

17. I get violently ill when I hear him speak and I can't look at him

I HATE HIS GUTS!

[natrat]

19. nice ..he is

a scumbag and i cant watch him read his stupid teleprompter either. I like watching him make a fool of himself unscripted though. Small comfort

[MrSlayer]

20. Yes, I despise him and his whole crew.
