Let's help Tweety out. What is it that you don't like about Bush?

[Poiuyt]

I mean aside from his politics, his policies, and his incompetence.

For me, it's that fucking smirk. I just hate it the way he drapes himself on the podium and talks to us in that goddamn patronizing, condescending manor of his. He talks to us as if we are all 2nd graders and he is trying to explain some complex formula to us. "See, heh, heh, ya'll have ta understand what's goin' on in tha world. Tha world is very hard ta understand, so I'll splain it to ya. Cause I'm the president. Heh, heh. And you all are beneath me."

He just plain insults my intelligence.

[cmd]

1. He's a playground bully n/t

[mtowngman]

2. My question is "What do the 34% LIKE about him?"

[Dora]

35. That's a much better question. n/t

[Lena inRI]

3. His absolute amorality. . .

absolute power corrupts absolutely.

[Wickerman]

4. That he has never earned a damn thing in his pathetic life. n/t

[Ishoutandscream2]

16. Second that

Born with a goddamn silver spoon in his mouth.

[Ladyhawk]

23. Don't you mean "goddamn silver spoon up his nose"? n/t

[ptolle]

31. more like

More like a silver oil derrick up his rectum.I keep trying to convince various frightwingshriekers that I don't hate the guy, but my contempt is practically limitless. I suppose one must be somewhat content to realize that he'll not be in office for that much longer and that the cocoon around him has been thumped on enough that more and more people are coming to see him for what he actually is and it'll be easier to raise resistance to any more damaging mischief he might wish to inflict. Small comfort I realize, but better than despair.

[rurallib]

5. Lying and arrogance and hypocracy

I could go on. He's an insult to chimps, too.

[Hello_Kitty]

6. Add to that

His petty narcissism. Shielding himself from any criticism or opposition. He's a coward and a bully.

[Maddy McCall]

7. Like a moron condescending to Mensa when he speaks.

In his speeches, it's as if he's just learned some fact that everyone else already knew, and he's unaware that everyone else already knew, and he wants to explain this fact to everyone in simpleton's terms, so that they can grasp it.

What he reveals, though, is his own stupidity.

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

10. Beautiful!

...it's as if he's just learned some fact that everyone else already knew, and he's unaware that everyone else already knew, and he wants to explain this fact to everyone in simpleton's terms, so that they can grasp it.

"Yes, Chimp. 2+2=4." :grr:

[Poiuyt]

26. That's a perfect description!

[misternormal]

8. Something about his face just pisses me off n/t.

[TomInTib]

9. That he acts "Texan" when all he did for my beloved State was...

fuck it up beyond any hope of repair.

[deutsey]

11. He's a militaristic, authoritarian, anti-democratic scoundrel

[Lerkfish]

12. his administration has made torture something we use as an accepted tactic

They have made torture routine and pervasive in everything they do. They have lawyers justifying it, they have countries doing extraordinary renditions to secret locations to do the torture, they have tortured people they KNEW were innocent.
Dr. Mengele would have been so proud.

ANYONE who deigns to rationalize torture is no longer human. And by adopting this heinous policy, they have slathered blood not only on their own hands, but on ours unwillingly by association.

[Nevernose]

13. I could ALMOST tolerate the arrogance; it's the "same as you" I don't get

You ever have one of those professors who taked down to you as if you were lower than a slug? And on the one hand you were offended, but on the other hand, compared to the professor, you really were lower than a slug? I wouldn't even mind the smug arrogance from Bush if it were deserved.

Hey, rich boy from Connecticut! You, the one with the fake Texas twang! The fact that your daddy gave you the money to buy a cowboy hat neither makes you like me, nor makes me want to have a beer with you. Your not even a rhinestone cowboy; you're just another jackass carpetbagger who thinks you've got everybody fooled because the people closest to you are kissing your ass so hard that they've lodged in your colon.

[The Backlash Cometh]

14. I don't like him because he's not very good when there's a public

emergency. He's just not good at governing, just exploiting.

[libodem]

15. I don't like the fake homespun, down to earth, good ol' boy

from Texas, nonsense he perpetrates. He's an old money aristocrat, ivy league, silver-spoon-in-his-mouth, rich kid. Spoiled rotten with no moral compass and no conscience. They call them sociopaths because the have no ability to empathize with their victims, whom they use and abuse. I don't like his sense of entitlement, never having had to 'earn' a living, and that look like he's smelling shit, when he thinks he's not on camera. There is a lot of difference between the image he wants to project *cowboy* VS that smirk-ass bitch we saw during the Kerry debates.

[VOX]

34. Isn't this the truth!!! He's no Texan!!!

My dad was a proud Texan, as was/is his family.

I've lived with Texans all my life -- and from my first-hand perspective, that New Haven blueblood impostor in the White House ain't no Texan! :grr:

[Ksec]

17. His inability to take no for an answer.

if he has no other way, he just hides things like the phone tapping or torture. He is a spoiled child that has never been told no.

[BurtWorm]

18. He's never done an honest day's work in his life.

He's long overdue on his first payment of his dues. It's not that he's the son of wealth and privilege. Lots of wealthy children demonstrate character. Bush has no character. Zero. What is to like about a princeling prick like him?

[ignatius 2]

19. Arrogant,lying,idiotic,no curiosity whatsoever about anything,terrible

leader,hot tempered,ignorant,socio-path, mass murderer,greedy,slimy,lowdown weasel and his blue steele photo ops make me want to hurl tomato soup into his face.

[LibDemAlways]

20. How long can a response be?

Seriously, if I had to list everything I dislike about the chimp, I'd be typing for days.

For the sake of brevity, let it suffice to say that I despise his stupidity, his inability to formulate a coherent sentence, his stammering and stuttering like an ass, his arrogance, his lack of human emotion and empathy, his disdain for the poor, his choice of sick, evil friends and colleagues, his inability to listen to sound advice or to admit to a mistake.

I despise that he represents this country because he's a mass murdering thug who brings shame on this nation in the eyes of the world.

I am deeply ashamed and offended that this complete waste of DNA has been shitting on the Constitution and people of this country since Jan. of 01. It's just a continuing fucking nightmare.

[lpbk2713]

21. He's such a "non-president".

Even Nixon had a little class fer crisakes.

[ignatius 2]

22. I heard him this afternoon saying "we're still on the hunt" har-har,he

sounded like a freakin' cartoon cowboy. A man of privilege, all that money, best schools in the country and he is a classless,ignorant man too dumb to take" advantge "of his advantages..

[WFF]

24. He thinks he's king

I remember an incident a few years ago at some press conference where a reporter addressed him as "sir." Bush cut him off and said, "Who are you talking to?" The reporter realized his error and started again with "Mr. President."

He clearly feels like he's above us.

[foreverdem]

25. He thinks he and his ilk are above the law. n/t

[merbex]

27. I find him to be insincere and a phoney and I KNOW he is a LIAR

If someone like him lived in my neighborhood I would avoid that person

He is untrustworthy

I can't believe I posted in this thread without using foul language

It wasn't easy but I did it

[warrens]

28. Ignorant spoiled brat

Born on third base thinking he hit a triple.

[rustydog]

29. He lied and tens of thousands have died

[Johonny]

30. That pretty much

is my feeling of him. He doesn't seem like the kind of person I'd have a beer at the bar with. He's more Cliff Clavin than Norm. He thinks he knows a lot but in fact he seems to know nothing. He acts like he's well liked, but infact no one is happy to see him. He wants to be liked but does nothing to be likable. Not only does he talk down to me like I'm a 2nd grader. He talks down to me in a way a second grader talks down to a 1 st grader.

[KamaAina]

32. Let's make this easier. Here is what I DO like about Bush**.

[VOX]

33. His arrogance. His cruelty. His sense of entitlement. His ignorance.

That's the ***very** short list. :grr:

[tnlefty]

36. What you've mentioned has had my husband YELLING for the past 2 mos.

Waaaay beyond the grumbling of the past. "Just look at the ignorant, shit for brains, incompetent (this fill-in the blank changes) smirking at us and using his hands like his dumbshit self thinks we're as fucking stupid as he is! Smirkin' 'cause nobody has bothered to tell him that only the braindead still support him."

[bklyncowgirl]

37. Some presidents are arrogant, some are incompetent & some are crooks

George W. Bush somehow manages to wrap all three up into a special package sealed with a smirk.

Add to that the fact that his good ol boy routine is as phony as his photo-op ranch and that he hand his buddies have been ripping of the American taxpayer at a rate not seen since the gilded age and you have a man I can say proudly that I can utterly despise.

...ooops er Hi agent Mike. What was that you said about Guantanamo....

[Norquist Nemesis]

38. NEVER EVER accountable.

EVER!

[Ino]

39. Someone has to explain words to him...

so he thinks the rest of us are just as dumb. Here's a sampling of his condescending "that means":

people that had been trained in some instances to disassemble -- that means not tell the truth. (bwahahaha!)

And it goes into the red -- that means negative, that means losing money

We've been through a recession -- that means we're going backwards.

Homeownership is at the highest rate ever. That means there's more people ever in our history are able to say, "I own something. I own my own home."

Congress wouldn't act, so I signed an executive order -- that means I did it on my own.

See, when you hear, red tape, that means there's a lot of rules and regulations that generally are in place to prevent something from happening.

I'm going to be plenty hot. That means angry.
