Is Shrub like a spouse abuser?

[charlyvi]

I'm asking this in all seriousness. It seems the more this nation disagrees with him, the more dangerous he gets. Like a spouse abuser who, when you finally decide to leave, thinks he has the right to destroy you. If you leave me I'll make you sorry--If I can't have you, no one will. That kind of thing. Scary as hell.

1. Fascinating take...

There certainly are parallels, that's for sure!:thumbsup:

3. He's just spoiled and fells he entitled enough to make this

reasonable. Add to that his Dominionism and I'm scared sh**less.

2. On target, I'd say...

plus he's a downright spoiled. rotten. brat.

4. Wow. Just as you posted this, I posted the same thing above.

Re: spoiled. Ya think we have a point? LOL.

5. Why bother? He's a NATION abuser. n/t

[charlyvi]

6. Yep. And the world think's US citizens are too.

Because we "elected" him. Little do they know.

7. yes he is. I do believe ABUSE runs somehow in the BUSH family

and shows itself up not only in their politics of destruction..but also in their histories of alcohol and drug abuse, their incredible and unsatiable need for power and control which is one of the identifiesrs of an ABUSER, and in their need for secrecy and coverups. you know, like the wife who says that she banged her leg or her arm or even her face against the door, when it was in fact the husband beating the hell out of her...(or the other way around: there are wife-spouse abusers who can and do beat their husbands up).

8. To those who voted for him, I would agree...

Those of us who didn't...nope. Not an apt analogy, IMO.

9. I'm not talking about the people who voted for him.

Lord knows what their motives were. I'm talking solely about how HE feels towards anyone who disagrees with him, changes their mind about supporting him.

10. I've said for a long time that Republicans act like an abused

spouse, so yes, I'd say he does act like a spouse abuser. It's all about exerting control over someone in order to make yourself feel powerful.
