Looking at pictures of Bush makes me feel ill.

[FormerRepublican]

Ever since the aftermath of Katrina, I can't stand to look at the man without feeling sick to my stomach, and I feel such a strong revulsion that I have to look away. Sometimes I wish news organizations would put warnings on their pages - "Note to sensitive viewers: Pics of Bush enclosed!"

I have such a strong aversion to the man because of what he's done that I wonder if he ever suffers from a guilty conscience. Does he sleep well at night? Does he use drugs to medicate himself and forget his guilt? Drinking to escape the pain?

Somehow I doubt that Bush has a moment of conscience, but who knows? All I know is I can no longer stand to look at the man, and whenever I see his pic I have to turn away to keep from becoming ill...

2. Ever since the aftermath of Katrina

It took that long?

5. I couldn't stand Bush before that, but it was Katrina that made me feel...

...actually physically ill when I look at him. Pushed from disgust to absolute horror, I guess.

3. I've been that way since he was governor here in Texas.

It's been 10 long years of wanting to puke every time I see him or hear his voice. It's a wonder I can still function. x(

10. That's the surprising thing about it, the loss of control. He physically

repels me. I'm usually in control of my physical attitudes. I'm a busy person.

4. I have been repulsed much longer than that.

Katrina was the turning point for many American.

6. I know. I've had a very strong, physical revulsion toward him for years.

Literally, I cannot bear to watch him. I can hardly stand to look at a photo of that psychopathic criminal.

11. It's even worse for me.

Around 2001, whenever I saw him on the TV I had to turn it off. Quick. I even went so far as to take my TV out to the garage so nobody would turn it on and make me see that creep.

Even now, when I'm driving in the car, sometimes his voice comes on in some news clip. My hand reaches out QUICK to change the dial. Even then, my hand trembles as I hurry up to get rid of him.

We all despise him.

15. I'm about that bad myself cliss. My first for truly despising a POTUS,

and I think I probably feel more guilt for my utter hatred of him, than he feels guilt for all of his atrocious deeds and lies. He makes me physically ill as well. And what's worse, is when I yell at the TV or radio, or even bang it off, my poor dog thinks she's been bad, and runs from the room. I really feel guilty about that...always try to let her know that its not her, it's the mean, evil man on the Tube (like she understands!)

7. Thay make me angry

when I think about how hes divided this country, and his republic party has done their best to kill the good jobs in America (with corporate whoring) I get mad.

I also get mad when theyve done this and most people dont even know it.

"Repukes are for the rich" has never been more truthful than it is today.

8. I had to turn off the State of the Union address

I was getting physically ill from watching it.

9. Speaking of pics of Bush

Does anyone have a collection of Bush with a bruise?

[gilpo]

12. Nothing like listening to him speak, though...

I have a visceral reaction to his voice and (mostly this) to what he says.

13. How I see him, at times:

14. It's an inner protective mechanism, I'm quite sure of it

You're becoming more sensitized to it as time goes on, probably.

Many of us here have had the same or similar reaction. I myself simply can't pay attention when he's on TV and speaking. Something within simply doesn't allow me to. My attention drifts to either the computer (usually) or something else. I therefore very, very rarely have heard his entire speech or press conference or whatever.

17. He's such an obvious liar! The inattentiveness is scary in a way, because

maybe that in part explained Hitler's 'hypnotism' over people. (second thought: Hitler could speak and form actual paragraphs; B* can't even form a sentence without great difficulty and ample coaching.)

[merbex]

16. I can handle seeing pictures, it's his voice I can't stand n/t

18. 11 Presidents here. Bush II is the only one that I cannot watch or

listen to. I have to read what he says. Every six months or so, I force myself to watch him. He is deteriorating before my eyes. Far worse than Reagan.
