Bush is a horrible president. The only reason this country hasn’t gone completely to hell by now is congress and the supreme court.
He has isolated us from all but our closest allies. He has made the American name even worse in the eyes of other countries (something I did not think possible till bush came along). He has trashed our economy, inflation is ganna go crazy. He backed the FCC restrictions on broadcasters. He wanted to amend the constitution to not allow gay marriage. God what hasn’t he done.

Oh and part of the restrictions is the media cant show things about the war in Iraq like this:

Alright, first a disclaimer that these are my views and I won't likely be apologizing for them. I'm telling you now that if you don't agree with me it's alright but I ain't pulling no punches..





President Bush, aside from being elected by less than 1 in 4 people in this country, has abused the trust that comes with hold the office of President and being responsible for one third of the most powerful and influential nation in the world.

Lets start at the beginning. Under president Bushes leadership, we have spent a $1.5 trillion surpulus and have racked up a $500 billion defecit. In three and a half years we have spent two trillion dollars at least, and yet we have increased prices at the pump, the largest trade defecit this country has seen in 28 years when we last had a trade surplus, and we had little economic growth to show. (900,000 jods in the past 3-4 months is nothing compared to pre-bush numbers)

Under Bush, we have disengaged from such international actions such as the Kyoto Protocols, we are disregarding the data showing that global warming is becoming a dangerous issue, and have all but alienated ourselves from any kind of global cooperative and diplomatic powerbase. Poll a statistical representation of the world population, and every person who isn't the US will say that the greatest unchecked threat in the world is us, and our president has done nothing to dissuade the world otherwise. We have thrown our weight around regions of the world with little disregard for what those natives want, and at the sacrifice of our service men and women, who now if we pause to give a memorial for their sacrifice we are 'unpatriotic.'

And speaking of domestic issues, between the PATRIOT ACT which has secretly jailed over 1000 people but has yet to be credited with a single arrest, tax cuts that out and out favor the wealthiest 3% of americans (which I'll admit to should include my family, but we haven't seen a penny of) while if made permanent will create an economic shortfall that no one wants to address. Then we have the touchy issue of a woman right of choice, which I don't care if you believe a baby to be living once conception begins or if it's at birth, the choice should be between the woman, her doctor, and her deity. In no way shape or form should the state dictate what medical procedures a person wants done on thier body. Get gov't out of the bedroom already. And as for this whole controversy on gay marriage, our president does not have 'preserve the sanctity of a holy institution" anywhere in job authority. By taking the side of his religious beliefs, and attempting to make us follow what beliefs he says are right, he breaks the separation of church and state clause in our first ammendmant, a document his job was made to protect and enforce!

Of course there is more, such as appointing judges to the DC court of appeals while congress who has to pass off said judges was on recess, thus subverting the constitution YET AGAIN. Or perhaps I could bring up Bush's inability to admit to fallacy. As the president you are a leader, and a leader knows when it's time to admit that you messed up and rebuild. Be it 9-11, Pre-war Iraq, Abu Ghraib, Ahmad Chalabi, this administration wishes us to simply accept 'just trust me' at face value and sit on daddys lap while daddy decides that he hasn't been getting any from mommy and thinks we look cute enough to arouse him.

And I still haven't covered Cheney and Halliburton, Condi, Rummy, Wolfie, Neo-Cons, Tenet, Inhofe, Congress, and the american public in general.

But to sum it up in a few sentences: "George W. Bush lies to us about the motivation of his administrations agenda. If he does truly believe that he is carrying out the divine will of his lord, then we have just been timewarped back to the fucking inquisition." And should novemeber not go the right way, and I am speaking the truth when I say that there is only a right way november can go now, I'll be burned at the stake very damn soon.

wow....heh heh....I did this thread just for you Rev...Glad ya got here...it's cool if ya read your comments then look at your PO

awesome...I hate to say it...I cannot say anything direct about my Commander-In-Chief...but I totally agree with you Rev

A clarification, Rev: While the establishment clause of the first amendment is interpreted to mean separation of church from state at the moment, the impetus for that idea comes from Thomas Jefferson's writings. The establishment clause only expressly forbids the creation of a national religion.
