40 REASONS TO HATE BUSH JR.
1. the national debt under Bush Jr. has increased so drastically that the average american's estimated share of national debt would be astronimical $24000-compared to $500 when Dubya first took office.
2. Under Bush Jr, there are now 43 million americans with NO health insurance.
3. Responsible for an unemployment rate of 6%. there are now 9 million people out of work in america,
3.3 million more than when Bush took office.
4. He cut healthcare insurance for veterans.
5. bush jr. deserted his unit during Vietnam, and was reportedly awol for over a year from his assigned unit: the texas air national guard or as its referred to by other military outfits the "champange division."
6. despite a 13% unemployment rate among those aged 16-24 Bush Jr. proposed to eliminate youth opportunity grants- a program that provides job training to the nations youth. a $225m program is 2002 is now being done away with so bush can have more money for Iraq.
7. He cut funding for 375,000 low income college students and reduced Pell grant amounts to such a severe degree that it effectively caused 84,000 students to no longer be eligiable for Pell grants. Pell amounts have been overall reduced for 1.5 million students... it's safe to say that the Bush daughters aren't eligiable for financial aid, so this won't effect the opulent lives of anyone under Bush Jr. my know.
8. Withdrew from the international criminial court.
9. First president in history to refuse united nations election inspectors (during the 2002 us elections).
10. all time US (and world) record holder for most corporate campaign donations.
11. the bush administration had twice as many FBI agents fighting the drug war than fighting terrorism prior to 9/11. even after 9/11, more than 2,000 FBI agents are wasting their valuable tiem assigned to the war on drugs.
12. his proposed "free trade" agreements would result in the loss of US jobs to foreign markets nd the exploitation of third world workers.
13. john ashcroft.
14. he has taken 11 official executive actions to undermine reproductive rights.. how long will it be before a woman is stripped of her right to choose?
15. failed to fullfill pledge to get osmama bin laden "dead or alive"
16. wasted federal resources on a PR trip to baghdad where he staged a thanksgiving meal at 6am with troops that were screened based on their political affiliation. and the turkey? it was a prop.
17. his refusal to fire- or even repimand- lt. gerneral jerry "our god is bigger than their god" boykin. Perhaps its because boykin said of the president, "Geroge bush was not elected by a majority of voters in the US, he was appointed by god. he's in the white house because god put him there."
18. After sending troops off to die in an unjust and unprovoked war, he still has yet to attend any soldiers' funerals.
19. his shameless nepotism for the rich and powerful. elizabeth cheney (daughter of ol' dick) got hooked up with a cool gig at the state department where she was in charge of the $129 million middle east partnership initiative and then was moved over to daddy and uncle dubya's campaign payroll.
20. he dropped his dog on its head.

27. under new bush legislation (the clear skies initiative) power plants are allowed to emit triple the amount of highly toxic mercury into the environment.
28. bush jr. failed to protect 3 million acres of the tongass national forest from logging. the tongass has the highest concentration of bald eagles on earth and has already lost 700 sqaure miles to logging with 33 more logging permits pending. not even the sanctity of our endagered national bird can compete with bush campaign contributions provided by the forest industry.
29. he is on pace to have taken more vacation time than any president in history inculding a 28-day vacation right before 9/11. bush jr. has taken 6 months of vaction in total.... do you know anyone that gets 6 months vacation??????

31. bush jr endorsed by fundamentalist Pat Robertson who claims that god told him bush will win re-election and that "it doesn't make a difference what bush does bceause god is blessing him." bush keeps come great company but keep in mind Roberston was also the nitwit that blamed the 9/11 attacks on gays and suggeted that we "nuke" the US state department.
