40 Reasons To Hate George W. Bush
I got this from the "Rock
Against Bush" CD. If you like punk rock, you'll
love this CD.
- The national debt under Bush Jr. has increased so drastically
that the average American's estimated share of national debt
will be an astronomical $24,000 compared to the $500 when
Dubya first took office.
- Under Bush Jr., there are now 43 million Americans with
no health insurance.
- 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.
- He cut healthcare benefits for war vetrans
- Bush Jr. deserted his unit during Vietnam and was reportedly
AWOL for over a year from this assigned unit: The Texas Air
National Guard, or as it's referred to by other military outfits,
The "Champagne Division".
- Despite a 13% unemployment rate amoung those aged 16 - 24
, Bush Jr. proposed to eliminate youth opportunity grants
- A program that provides job training to the nation's youth.
A $225 million program in 2002 is now being done away with
so Bush can have more money for Iraq.
- 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 eligible
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 elligible for financial aid, so this won't affect the
opulent lives of anyone Bush Jr. may know.
- Withdrew from the International Criminal Court.
- First president in US History to refuse United Nations election
inspectors (during the 2002 U.S. Elections).
- All-Time US (and world) record holder for most corporate
campaign donations.
- 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 valuble
time assigned to the war on drugs.
- His proposed "free trade" agreements would result
in the loss of US Jobs to foreign markets and the exploitation
of third world workers.
- John Ashcroft.
- 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?
- Failed to fulfill pledge to get Osama bin Laden "dead
or alive".
- Wasted federal resources on a PR trip to Baghdad here he
staged a Thanksgiving meal at 6:AM with troops that were screened
based on their political affiliation. And the Turkey? It was
a prop.
- His refusal to fire - or even reprimand - Lt. General Jerry
"Our God Is Bigger Than Their God" Boykin. Perhaps
it's because Boykin said of the president, "George Bush
was not elected by a majority of voters in the United States.
He was appointed by God. He's in the White House because God
put him there."
- After sending troops off to die in an unjust and unprovoked
war, he still has yet to attend any soldiers' funerals.
- 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.
- He dropped his dog on its head.
- Bush Jr. is the first president in US History to enter office
with a criminal record.
- Bush Jr. has set the all-time record for most people worldwide
to simultaneously protest a leader (10 million people), shattering
the record for protests against any person in the history
of mankind.
- He slashed funding to the Violence Against Women Act.
- He has invaded and occupied two countries at a continuing
cost of one billion dollars a week.
- He appointed Charles Pickering, a notorious segregationist
from Mississippi, as a federal judge and suspiciously did so
on Martin Luther King Day.
- Bush has spent over $100 billion on Iraq, leaving states
to face the largest budget crisis in decades and forced to
cut off public services; now with the federal deficit at a
new high, Bush Jr. wants to award more tax breaks to the wealthy.
- Under new Bush legislation (The Clear Skies Initiative),
power plants are allowed to emit triple the amount of highly-toxic
mercury into the environment.
- 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 square miles to logging with 33 more logging permits pending.
Not event the sanctity of our endangered national bird can
compete with Bush campaign contributions provided by the forest
industry.
- He is on pace to have taken more vacation than any president
in history - including a 28-day vacation right before 9/11.
Bush Jr. has taken 6 months of vacation in total. Do you know
anyone that gets 6 months of vacation?
- He pulled out of the Kyoto Agreement on Global Warming,
which had been agreed upon by 178 other countries.
- Bush Jr. is endorsed by fundementalist Pat Robertson who
claims that God told him Bush will win re-election and that
"It doesn't make a difference what Bush does because
God is blessing him". Bush keeps some great company,
but keep in mind Robertson was also the nitwit that blamed
the 9/11 attacks on gays and suggested that we "nuke"
the US State Department.
- He set the record for the most executions by any governor
in American History. 152 in total; some of whom were mentally
disabled.
- Has repeatedly stonewalled the public investigation into
9/11.
- Bush Jr. declined to fully fund the AIDS initiative after
promising to do so. The final cuts that resulted were over
$2 billion.
- He still suggests that Homosexuals are "sinners"
and is pushing legislation that would forbid gay partnerships
and deny fundamental civil rights on a national and local
level.
- Choked on a pretzel and nearly lost his life while seated
in front of a TV.
- Bush Jr. has gone to great lengths to prevent investigations
of his friends at Enron and Halliburton. More time and money
was spent investigating the Monica Lewinsky affair than has
been spent investigating one of the biggest corporate rip
offs in history.
- Bush Jr. has set the record for the fewest amount of press
conferences by a president since the advent of television.
- Responsible for a $521 billion budget deficit - less than
4 years after inheriting a $200 billion surplus.
- He has made repeated attempts to legalize oil drilling in
the National Wildlife Refuge.
"Ask me why you are feeling screwed and I'll give you
the answer. There's a Colin, Dick and Bush justa hammerin' away."
