15 reasons to hate Bush.
 

I see Ash.cro.ft isn't reason enough for some of you to register to vote and stop Bush so here's a few more reasons...

(And these are only since he's been inaugurated! This guy doesn't waste any time ruining the world... )

1. He cut a half a BILLION dollars from the Environmental Protection Agency' s budget. Who needs to look after the environment when there's all that oil drilling going on?

2. He approved a bill that denies financial aid to students convicted of misdemeanor drug charges (though convicted murderers are still eligible for financial aid).

3. He recently sent a delegation to the UN children' s summit to declare that the use of condoms is not a valid way to fight AIDS and that abstinence is the only solution. This is the view shared by some other countries such as Iran, Iraq, Sudan, Libya, Syria, and the Vatican. It seems that his policy of, "No child shall be left behind" has a whole new meaning.

4. He wouldn't sign the Kyoto Protocol agreement on global warming, which was ultimately signed by 178 other countries. He also told the entire European community that he would listen to their arguments, but he would not change his mind, effectively treating Europe like an 8 year old child. This may have something to do with why most of the world hates the US.

5. He rejected an international accord to enforce the 1972 treaty banning germ warfare. Of course that would mean that the US would have to stop producing biological agents too.

6. And talk about the fox watching over the hen house, he nominated former mining company executive Dan Lauriski as Assistant Secretary of Labor for Mine Safety and Health.

7. He prohibited any financial aid from going to international family planning organizations that provide abortion counseling, referrals, or services with their own funds.

8. He provided every member of the Bin Laden family living in the U.S. a chartered plane shortly after 9/11 to fly back home to Saudi Arabia without questioning them. One of GW' s first petroleum venture was partnered with the Bin Laden family and George Sr. has been getting filthy rich selling defense contracts to the Bin Ladens. These are just some examples of the many ties the Bush family has with the Bin Ladens.

9. He officially withdrew from the 1972 Antiballistic Missile Treaty, gutting the landmark agreement-the first time in the nuclear era that the US renounced a major arms control accord.

10. Refused to join 123 nations pledged to ban the use and production of anti-personnel bombs and mines, February 2001

11. September 2001: withdrew from International Conference on Racism, bringing together 163 countries in Durban, South Africa

12. Over the past 10 years, the US prison population has more than doubled. This is mainly due to unfair three strikes laws, and harsher drug penalties. OK so maybe W. wasn' t behind this one, but the Republicans are.

13. International Plan for Cleaner Energy: G-8 group of industrial nations (US, Canada, Japan, Russia, Germany, France, Italy, UK), July 2001: the US was the only one to oppose it.

14. George replied, "Ken who?" when asked about his relationship with Kenneth Lay, the CEO of Enron, during the federal bankruptcy hearings. This was after Enron gave him their company jet to use for his presidential campaign. George and Kenny were such good friends that Ken was actually seen giving wedgies to the president in the oval office. Yet he still replied, "Ken who?"

15. He droped his dog on its head.

:smokin

Next....

:1orglaugh

How do you beat me to the punch everytime. Hippie haters UNITE!

The intellectuals are out in force tonight.

:1orglaugh

John Kerry has a resolution to each and every one of those problems, but nobody knows what...apparently even Kerry.

Here's #16.

YUCCA MOUNTAIN

It may not mean much to most of you, but a nuclEar waste repository (no not a supository ) located 60 miles north of Las Vegas, isn't that pleasant of a thought....

Yep, that was all Bush!!!!

"The U.S. Department of Energy began studying Yucca Mountain, Nevada, in 1978 to determine whether it would be suitable for the nation's first long-term geologic repository for spent nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive waste. Currently stored at 131 sites around the nation, these materials are a result of nuclear power generation and national defense programs.

Bush campaigned in Nevada for the 2000 campaign AGAINST YUCCA MOUNTAIN..

He said he opposed it, and that he would veto it if it came before him..

As soon as it hit his desk, he signed it..

I know, never believe a politician, but that was his whole platform in Nevada...

I love it, "highonacid" is pro abstinence and anti soft drugs.

Someone buy this assclown a hooker and a joint and maybe he'll snap out of the daze he's living it.

Got a quarter becaue I've got clues for sale! :thumbsup

As most people here know, my nickname has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH LSD, ACID, HITS, DROPS, CID, ETC!!! My mainstream company is called acidflyers.com and my nickname is a play on words regarding that company. :glugglug

Here, let me help you pick your dignity up.

Oh, and search my posts to see where I'm Pro-Abstinence and Anti-Soft Drugs. Please. I beg you.

I'm not Pro-Bush, I'm just Anti-Kerry.

Before I rip into this...... I'm voting for Kerry.

I'm pretty sure I can find a list of simliar things that every president signed off on for every president that has been in office.

I'm sure dipstick Bush there campaigned in Nevada for the 2000 campaign against Yucca Mountain. However, once the fucker got into office he quickly learned exactly how limited his options were.

Once a new President gets into office they quickly come to terms and discover that it's not as easy as it seems - every action has a reacation, and some choices are made for reasons the average citizen will never understand. I'm sure that he traded Yucca Mountain for something else.

This is a perfect example of what I'm saying. We are quick to blame the current person sitting in office, but this started years ago.......

Roc, we just have to come to the realization that it's a lose lose situation. Once we accept that, we'll all be better people and we can move on. :2 cents:

Well done! That entire list is total crap; was that part of Michael Moore's weekly newsletter? I could go off on all of these, but a fellow-hippie hater already beat me to the punch! Let me at least do two:

8. "He provided every member of the Bin Laden family living in the U.S. a chartered plane shortly after 9/11 to fly back home to Saudi Arabia without questioning them. One of GW' s first petroleum venture was partnered with the Bin Laden family and George Sr. has been getting filthy rich selling defense contracts to the Bin Ladens. These are just some examples of the many ties the Bush family has with the Bin Ladens."

Total and complete bullshit. I can't believe you're still trying to argue that crap.

9. "He officially withdrew from the 1972 Antiballistic Missile Treaty, gutting the landmark agreement-the first time in the nuclear era that the US renounced a major arms control accord."

This may be the only valid point in your entire post, and I'm glad Bush did it!


Go take a shower.

No need to beg.

What were you saying about dignity?
