Do you hate President George W. Bush?

[ColbertWatcher]

Poll question: Do you hate President George W. Bush?

[Hawkeye-X]

1. There is a special section in Hell just waiting for the Chimp maladministration.

Filled with with lots of booze and coke but 5 feet wide, and 100,000,000 feet deep in 100 Kelvins.

2. Stiller & Meara, Ed Sullivan Show, 1960s:

"You could take every grain of sand on every beach at every ocean on the face of the Earth. You could write the word hate on ALL those grains of sand and that would not be ONE-TENTH of the hatred with which I hate you!"

That understates it a good bit.

[PDJane]

3. Nope. Don't hate him.

Despise him, consider him a spawn of people who should have been neutered, think he's a completely useless waste of space, air, money and time.....but no, I don't hate him.

[FiveGoodMen]

4. I chose: "Like a thousand burning suns"

I would like to put it a bit stronger than that, but hey ...

...and it's not restricted to just GWB, either.

[Hydra]

5. Meh

W is just a symptom. He couldn't have done what he did without help and a system that broken to begin with.

I register EXTREME DISLIKE with our current system, where an unelected President can torture, make war, steal and kill us without consequence.

If we can't do better than this, we're screwed.

[TNOE]

7. You've said a mouthful

how true - he has held up a mirror to many, and he is what they wanted, and still after all the evidence to the contrary as to who this man really is and what he has done, they refuse to see, or their greed and religion blinds them to the truth.

[cynatnite]

6. I go from moments of unbiased disapproval to absolute rage n/t

[EFerrari]

8. Yes, I hate him. It was much easier to just think he was a moran

8 years ago.

[Siwsan]

9. Detest

Hate takes too much energy - far more than he deserves. I'll sum it up, this way. I have more respect for the muck that I scrape off of the bottom of my shoes, than I have for GWB.

[driver8]

10. I absolutely despise that sorry piece of shit.

Words cannot describe the hatred I feel for him.

[liberal N proud]

11. I hate him for what he has straddled our children with

Until now each generation has had life easier. Then came bu$h!

[Bucky]

12. I don't hate. I don't wish him ill. I wish him well. In theory, I love him

Of course, I'm going by the Thomistic definition where love means to actively will that which is good for another person. In George Bush's case, the good would be for him to wake up to the damage he's done to the world and turn himself over to The Hague for corrective justice. But, failing that, the best we can hope for is for him to go away. That would be a kind of good too.

[Earth_First]

13. No.

I do, however have an extreme/overwhelming displeasure of W.

[MrModerate]

14. I've actually changed my diet and exercise habits . . .

In hopes of living long enough to shit on his grave.

[backscatter712]

15. I hope Bush gets cancer.

Hey, don't hold back, tell us how you really feel!

[elocs]

16. How on earth would my hating Bush hurt him in the least?

How would hating Bush help me? Would it make my life better and more fulfilled? Hate is a cup of poison from which too many delight in drinking. There's already too much hate in the world, so why add to it?

[stillcool]

17. nope..he's an ignorant fool..

I doubt he's made a single decision in the last 8 years.

[ProfessorGAC]

18. I Prefer "Loathe" To "Hate"

Because i do, absolutely loathe him, everything about him, what he stands for, and everyone who thinks like he does.

[peekaloo]

26. I'm with you Prof.

a total waste of carbon and water

[roody]

19. Hate will harm me, so I don't hate him.

[rock]

20. If you're ever going to hate someone

this is a really sound choice.

[MADem]

21. Hate takes energy. NT

[emilyg]

22. No.

[KamaAina]

23. No*.

*-there is no "President George W. Bush". The 'p' in "pResident" is silent, remember? :P

[stuntcat]

24. Hate is such a strong word..

I make a point of not Hating. Instead of feeling Hate I usually feel pity for desperate stupidity and short-sightedness.. and often shame for sharing Humanity with some of the horrible examples I see.. but NOT Hate.

EXCEPT when it comes to Bush and Cheney.. what they've let happen to poor citizens of our country and others, and especially the way they've ignored what needed to be done to help the Environment (and by environment I mean the FUCKING FUTURE) has earned my Hate. My Hate is focused on those 2 men, mostly on George Bush. Fpr the rest of my life I'll blame him and the people who elected him for everything bad that happens to the world. I'm not kidding.

[LSdemocrat]

25. No, just his policies and everything he stands for

But as a person, i.e. if he wasn't President, meh.

[Christian30]

27. Yes...

In fact, I can't think of a public official that I loathe more. And that's saying something since I lived through two terms of Guiliani and recently had our lovely Mayor Bloomberg illegally remove terms limits so HE can run again.

[Dukkha]

28. almost as much as the dolts who still support him

They are the cause of everything bad that has occurred these past 8 years and would be stupid enough to support more of the same as long as they have their guns and bibles. Fuck them all.

[TheKentuckian]

29. Hate requires the twisting of love, respect, or admiration

and the shrub has never measured up in those areas. Disdain, disgust, and vengeful anger fit ok though.

[WillowTree]

30. Hate costs the one who hates far more than the one hated.

I choose not to go there.

[tammywammy]

31. No.

[lonestarnot]

32. Damn. Where did all the haters go?
