He is slowly but surely turning America into a totalitarian state. He got us into an unnecessary and drawn out war/occupation. Really anything I say you will obviously reject outright so why should I even try?

Or maybe because we disagree with his policies and the direction he is taking us? Is that possible at all?

I think there are some obvious parallels with Lyndon B Johnson, though Bush doesn't get the advantage of a civil rights movement to support.

Ok, I take one last stab at this: War in Iraq, Tax Cuts during wartime, total lack of effort on energy policy for 8 years, corruption in all areas of his staff, stem-cell research cuts, no child left behind, trying his hardest to bypass the constituion. Now I could go on all day, but these are the main ones that have had a direct effect on me or my family. I don't hate the man, I'm sure he's an ok guy, but has no business being president and will go down as one of the worst of all time, (I only count 2 term presidents).

his motives are subjective and unknown to the general populace. gained significant power through fear and manipulation of the press. Although we don't know his true motives, his actions seem rather reckless towards those goals. for my own sake i shouldn't post more than that on a public board.

For some, I think that they do have valid dislike with his policies, and I'm fine with that, everyone has a right to there opinion.

For others, you can simply tell that it is, for lack of better term, "fashionable", and that simply is annoying.

Technically everyone hates him because of the War. That's it. No one concentrates on any other of his stances they just hate him because of the war.. Which thats a good thing to hate and not entirerly his fault but hey. No one blames congress or Big Buisness or whoever else may be involved in united states affairs. all blame goes on the pres.

Same will be true for the next president we have.

no, it's because he mucked up our communities with his positions on taxes and uneducated steps in national education (no child left behind). I don't fully support the war because its basis were on false/fabricated data to begin with, but makes perfect sense in this mini-cold war we're having. controling that region is key in the struggle against other nations, especially with emerging world superpowers, rivals dating back to ww1, and threats to Israel.

Couldn't have anything to do with driving a booming economy into a recession, and spending billions upon billions of dollars waging a pointless war on a Country that didn't deserve it or anything? Surely it had to be "because it's popular", not because of war crimes and economical decimation...

Here is a nice list for you:

1. He's a Texan.

2. Tax cuts for the wealthy.

3. Vetoing any bill that tries to advance medical science.

4. Pardoning a convicted felon, Libby.

5. Not pardoning border patrol officers who were doing there job.

6. Sending 1000s of soldies to die in a pointless war.

7. Does not even attempt to work with democrats.

8. Talks like an idiot, probably because he is a Texan.

9. Hates the middle class.

10. Had his daddy pull him out of the Vietnam War.

Theres more. But I would rather not develop carpel tunnel syndrome right now.

Because it's "cool" and it's easy. People can complain all they want about his policies and actions, but at the end of the day you (I say you because I'm Canadian) not only elected for him, but allowed him to carry out 2 full terms. I'm not sure if that speaks more to the US political system or the average US citizen, but for a president to have the approval rating Bush does and still be in office is ludicrous.

This whole thing over the FISA bill and Telecom immunity is more than enough reason to make just about anyone pissed off at him.

Bush: We need this FISA bill to fight them terrorists Congress: Okay! Bush: But we also need to give the telecom companies immunity to prosecution for things I said they won't do with FISA. Congress: Uhh, no. Bush: Fine, then Ill veto the FISA bill!

This is proof positive that Bush is both flat out lying about what they've forced the telecom companies to do in regards to monitoring private citizens. And if FISA is really important to combating terrorism, he's willing to do without it just so some executives in charge of those telecoms won't get in trouble.

I hate him because it's cool, and I can relate to a lot of people when I say I hate him.

I kid, but a few of the reasons have already come up in the thread (tax cuts, the war, "security").

Yet you voted him for another 4 year term...leads me to believe that Bush's intellect is in fact superior to that of the average American.I dont know what Im talking about

Yes, because a little over 50% of VOTERS means that every single American agreed that George W. Bush was the perfect man to lead our country.

I'll rephrase that:

  2. Domestic manufacturing jobs are going overseas.

I have no beef about the war overseas since our armed forces are winning.

Liberals have downsides too. I fall more on the Democrat Conservative side but the two ideals(Lib. and Con.) need to be balanced in order for things to work well.

Most of us disagree with his policies, but there are many young people that just hate him because everyone else hates him, they don't actually know his policies.

David Petraeus' strategy is working my friend.

The South Vietnamese lost that war not the United States. We just got sick of fighting, thrown in the towel, and let the Vietnamese fight for themselves.

Mr_Manikin52

I have definite concerns over our border security as well. As far as exporting jobs overseas, that didn't begin with the current president. It's been a slow process that has steadily been increasing over decades and multiple presidents.

I don't hate George Bush, but I really don't like some of the decisions he's made regarding foreign policy. I would like to see things cleaned up and improved here in the USA before trying to clean up messes overseas. Let's fix our own education system, our roads and bridges et cetera before we go about trying to forcibly fix everyone elses' problems. It makes no sense to pour millions or billions of dollars a foreign cause when our country is so in debt. If the USA continues on the course it has been on for the last few decades, there will be no USA as we have known it.

no child left behind is actually a good idea though. Competition in the educational feild would put us back on track and be able to compete with... finland
