I refuse to watch bush

[Botany]

I have had it. The only time I want to see his ass again is when he is:

* Reading his resignation speech
* Giving sworn testimony to Congress or The Hague
* being handcuffed and taken away for his crimes

He is a liar and a psychopath who is willing to let tens of thousands more die
and get wounded just so he doesn't have to say he was wrong.

The man stole 2 elections, at the very least allowed 9-11 to happen because
of sloth, has allowed billions of dollars to be funneled to the people who least needed it,
oversaw the destruction of environmental standards and laws, packed the court
with far right wing nut jobs, turned over our energy future to oil & gas companies,
and lied to start an unneeded war which as of now he is trying to make even bigger.

Fuck him and the horse he rode in on to.

[Skittles]

1. he is afraid of horses, Botony

ever seen him riding one? bush is as phony a cowboy and a Texan as he is a president.

[Botany]

4. ever hear the story about when he invited Putin to his "ranch?"

President Putin said, "It would be an honor to ride with you Mr. President."
bush replied, "I don't know how to ride."

(rough quotes)

[jtrockville]

2. I tried, but I can't. I just can't stomach his smirk when he blames Iraqis

This situation is nothing to smirk about. And what was that he said about gratitude?

[SammyWinstonJack]

3. He's afraid of horses.

:evilgrin: :rofl: But yeah, fuck him!

[acmejack]

5. He's afraid of us!

There are many things the Crawford Coward fears-combat (if his ass is on the line), the rabble (us), fair play (where he would have to compete on a level playing field with every one else, no privilege, no perks), he is a chicken shit of extraordinary magnitude indeed!

I only watch him to see if my blood pressure will still rise enough to indicate I am still functionally alive-and you thought W was entirely worthless!

[bdamomma]

27. let's give him a reason to be afraid of us!!!

he is only one stupid man there are many of us.

[ClintonTyree]

6. Same here......

not so much that I won't, I CAN'T! Seeing the giggling murder monkey's face and hearing him butcher the English language is more than I can take. I'm so ashamed to have this man as our pResident. What does his presence in the White House say about our nation? What sort of message are we sending the world with a half-wit like him as our leader? Until he's gone I will remain ashamed to be an American.

[mmonk]

7. Nobody in my family can watch him either.

My wife said having to watch him insults her intelligence.

[Olney Blue]

8. Good decision, bot- he was disgusting.

[porphyrian]

9. I'll kick that. - n/t

[Melissa G]

10. Much as I love politics, Bot, I have the same problem...Poppy Bush

had the same effect on me...I could not stand his whiny voice but watching dim son is even worse...:puke:

[Harper_is_Bush]

11. that's interesting. n/t

[peekaloo]

12. I wish I had skipped it.

Put me in a foul or fowl(for da freeps) mood.

Seeing him try and sum up feelings after visiting the parents/families of war dead was sickening.

[Pierzin]

13. I reached that point a long time ago. But duty forces me to watch

It's like analyizing Rush Limbaugh. You know he is full of hot air and he's full of horse pucky, but you have to find out why he is so popular. I agree, he is everything you say, and worse. But he is a dceiver, a manipulator, who has so beguiled 25% or whatever if you can beleive the polls, that they love him.
I forgot he was on tonight, now I have to go tune in and see if he succeeds in hypnotizing me too.:hippie: :hippie: :hippie: I'll wear my three-D glasses though and sit down sideways, that way his stupid face and subsersive hypnotic trance won't get through!

[HughMoran]

14. I do too

Nothing he says makes any sense to me any more and I don't need to subject myself to it.

[dysfunctional press]

15. i'm more of a tit man myself....

but i'd never just out and out refuse to watch bush when it's available.

[teriyaki jones]

17. Is that why you sound like a boob?

:P Sorry, I couldn't resist!

But seriously folks…

I cannot, absolutely CANNOT watch the monkey king on my TV. My head explodes. Very messy.

[progressoid]

16. It's bad enough just reading his remarks or hearing the media recap.

Actually watching him makes me ill.

[SoCalDemGrrl]

18. Agreed- he literally makes me want to vomit! Its a visceral reaction everytime

I see or hear him. Bush is pure evil.

[OneBlueSky]

19. I can't and won't watch him . . . there's no need . . . I know what he's going to say . . .

because it never changes . . . and it all amounts to him wanting to build an imperial presidency and project American military might across the globe whenever and wherever he pleases . . .

don't need to hear it anymore, and can't stomach the guy for five seconds . . .

[BlueIris]

20. I haven't bee able to listen to him since '04. I tried once (after Katrina)

and got a migraine. In early '06, I had to stop watching any footage of him period. He is vile and makes me (literally) ill.

[orleans]

21. i watched him tonight--i watch him sometimes, and i yell at the tv &

flip him the bird

my 83 year old mother leaves the room when he comes on the tv--she absolutely won't have anything to do with him.

[Eurobabe]

22. I usually give him a nanosecond and then he goes off

[SalmonChantedEvening]

23. I can't even listen to him on the radio

That voice is fingernails on a blackboard for me.

Add the visual of that incurious, pampered little smirking fool and I'mm off to buy another TV set, because the last one has a new home in the side yard.


:grr:

[flordehinojos]

24. i think it is even about more than not having to say he was wrong.

i think that it may be more about an insane need to have power and control.

i really think so.

[Martin Eden]

25. I've come full circle

In the lead-up to the invasion of Iraq and for some time afterward I couldn't watch or listen to * without an unconfortable rage welling up inside me. If I was a dog my hackles would be raised like a punk rocker in full mohawk.

For the last couple of years I've managed to keep a lid on those strong emotions and look at * without having to restrain myself from hurling the nearest heavy object through the screen of my television. Or from just plain hurling.:puke:

Maybe it was outrage overload: a self-protecting disconnect that kept me from becoming physically ill.

Now that disconnect is beginning to reconnect and I feel like Howard Beale in the movie Network and screaming out the window at the top of my lungs I'M MAD AS HELL AND I'M NOT GOING TO TAKE THIS ANYMORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Imagevision]

26. Bush got 8 years to max out and complete the plans the ideologs/neocons

had planned way before Bush was installed by the supreme court.

Bush cabal can't complain, all George has to do is to make sure the Iraq war doesn't end before 2008 elections. (a confrontation with Iran would be a bonus though) They know they can't win 08 election but when considering what they've accomplished for themselves...? it's trivial, they've won.

[mvd]

28. Same here

I can't even remember the last time I watched him, except for a quick soundbyte or two.

[bdamomma]

29. well we all have the same feelings about this stupid ignorant man

but there are more of us than him, why let this stupid man have so much control over us? why? He is just playing us for fools.

[pdrichards114]

30. I'm with you!

Listening to him is akin listening to somebody else going #2. Makes me nauseous, revolted, and defintely worse off for the experience, because it's mostly just shit!!!

[Norquist Nemesis]

31. Looking forward to the ratings for last night's airing

We skipped it and from what I've seen, so did a whole lot of other people.

[truth2power]

32. Someone over in the astrology forum

said he has no aura.

Please...I don't want to hijack this thread by getting into a big hairy argument about whether auras actually exist. I happen to think they do, but I have no wish to proselytize in that respect. YMMV.

It's just that I've heard people talk about auras being rather muddy or very weak if that person is ill etc. But to have none at all? Yikes! I can believe it in Bush's case, however.

[OrangeCountyDemocrat]

33. I Intentionally Missed The 60 Minutes BS Session

I turned it off after Marty CHOKED away another post season game, and snatched defeat from the jaws of victory.

[Botany]

35. Former Browns Fan Here

Before the move I used to be a Browns fan .....

Marty does have a talent for gagging doesn't he?

N.E. is a hell of a team but with L.T., Gates, Rivers, and the 'bolts
defense no way should they have lost.

[Lugnut]

34. What's the point anyway?

It's always the same old shit with him. He disgusts me.

[New Earth]

36. i don't watch him either

i refuse to. i can't stand to see his face, i can't stand to hear his voice...i don't think i've watched/listened to any of his speeches since he was (not) elected. the most i could stomach was a few seconds once or twice, and that was years ago. i just read the reviews on DU :shrug:

[donco6]

37. I actually watched his whole "speech" the other night.

Only because, to me, he actually looked terrified. I didn't see any cocky smirk this time. Of course, he was reading some dopey pap some staffer scraped together for him - all platitudes and nonsense about "victory". We lost this war the minute that idiot smacked the hornet's nest. We'll have hell to pay for the rest of our lives because of this.

[gristy]

38. I CAN'Twatch bush

I tried to watch him last night on 60 minutes and lasted less than 1 minute. Probably less than fifteen seconds. That was that.
