[*]In exchange for large U.S. oil companies gaining access to occupied territories, Bush reportedly gave $43 million of your tax dollars to the Taliban in May of 2001 - only 4 months before their September 11th attacks on the United States! [*]Bush had no concern about terrorist attacks on the U.S. before 9/11/01 (see #12 for more info). [*]Bush wholeheartedly supported the infamous "Patriot Act," which infringes on most of your constitutional rights. In addition, he is an outspoken supporter of the "Patriot Act II." [*]The Bush Regime failed to protect the people of Baghdad from looting, riots, bombings, and other undue circumstances, following the fall of the city - so that the oil ministry would be heavily guarded by U.S. troops. [*]Bush pulled the United States out of the Kyoto Treaty, a global warming agreement between major world powers, signed in 1997. [*]Bush banned federal aid to any international group offering abortions or abortion counseling, even if their funding from those projects came from other sources. THE HYPOCRISY HAS SPOKEN… although the Bush Regime has been attacking abortion rights in the U.S. too... [*]Bush used his presidential powers to repeal the Alternative Minimum Tax for corporations. All taxes paid under the AMT since its 1987 inception were refunded to the corporations. Does anyone else smell Bush's campaign finance scheme? [*]CRIMINAL ALERT!!! Bush appointed Elliott Abrams to the National Security Council. Abrams was convicted during the Reagan administration for Iran-Contra ties. Do you really feel safe with a convicted criminal helping to oversee national security? [*]Bush proposed to nominate the attorney responsible for the court case that weakened the Americans with Disabilities Act, Jeffrey Sutton, to judgeship in a federal appeals court. [*]Bush turned the 9/11/01 terrorist attacks on the U.S. into a scheme to justify severely limiting civil rights and attacking the Constitution (see #3), and to avert public attention from the extreme economic threats the Bush Regime has invoked upon the millions of middle-class, working-class, and poor Americans, while giving break after break to large corporations and rich individuals. [*]Of Bush's proposed $2 trillion tax cut 43% goes to the wealthiest 1% of Americans. [*]After Bush's "election" was officially announced, President Clinton requested numerous meetings with Bush - specifically to discuss terrorists threats and making them a priority of Bush's Regime. Bush refused to meet with Pres. Clinton, but allowed one of his staff "underlings" to talk to Clinton instead. Not surprisingly, Bush never bothered to find out what Clinton had to say. [*]Bush cut $35 million in funding for doctors to receive advanced pediatric training. Is this him saying, "No child left behind, unless they're ill"?? [*]Bush has already packed the federal courts with radical conservative judges - Charles Pickering, Pricilla Owens, and Miguel Estrada - to name a few... [*]Bush loved Enron! To prove it, he appointed Thomas White as the Army Secretary. White is a former Enron executive who conveniently sold his stock after an Enron official contacted him. Oh yeah, and he is under criminal investigation for the Enron thing! [*]Bush used his infinite "wisdom" to completely halt international negotiations designed to monitor and prevent the production of biological and chemical weapons. [*]Bush refused to federally fund the continued clean up of a uranium-slag heap in Utah. Oh well, the large Mormon population there doesn't care if their kids come out with birth defects and die at a young age - do they?? [*]The Bush Regime took an anti-human rights stance in the U.S. and abroad, by treating basic human rights as an obstacle of setting up civic security. Who needs freedom anyway? [*]Bush leaves abused and neglected children behind by cutting $15.7 million that was supposed to aid states in investigating their cases. As long as they're educated, who cares how they're treated, eh, Dumbya!? [*]Bush used the 9/11/01 terrorist attacks on the U.S. to create the Department of Homeland Security. Ironically, Hitler also created such an office, the Reichshauptsicherheitamt, or "Main Office of Homeland Security," and look where he took Germany. True Americans, BEWARE!!!
As far as I'm aware the Taliban did not attack the United States on September 11th 2001. I believe it was attributed to Al Qaeda but what do I know? [*] I must here invoke Godwins Law Bush bashing is all good but have some purpose or point. It's too easy to jump on the bandwagon complaining and not doing anything. Innit.
i'm not interested in hating anyone. that's not why we put people in prisons. it's to prevent them, deny them the opportunity of, doing further harm. which is why bush needs to be there. in prison that is. =^^= .../\...
Wow - I didn't hear about half that stuff. Can you add more to this list because I'd love to read more
of course I can!!! here you go lifelovefun! # Bush lied to the American public and Congress about the Taliban's motives in the 9/11/01 attacks in order to gain approval of extremist foreign policies and shield their eyes from the true dangers of the "Patriot Act." # Bush repealed the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty, while spending billions of tax dollars building a large national missile defense. # Bush shows his true opinion on affirmative action, by appointing outspoken affirmative action opponent Kay Cole James to direct the Office of Personnel Management. # Bush nominated a lawyer for a teen sex video distribution company, Harvey Pitts, to head the Securities and Exchange Commission. Isn't that an abomination, Dumbya? # Bush and Cheney both refused to testify under oath - or by themselves - to the 9/11 Commission. What do you think they are trying to hide from the public? # After screwing up that nation's economy to the point of a record high number of jobless Americans, Bush cut $200 million in funding to help retrain dislocated workers. Oh well, if they're jobless, they can't pay their inflated working-class taxes, now can they? # Bush proposed a measure to use eminent domain to the government to seize private property for power lines. # Bush took steps to abolish the White House Council on Environmental Quality. # After the U.N. questioned Bush's "war on terrorism," the Bush Regime decided the nation should act with a small group of other nations stupid enough to believe the "weapons of mass destruction" fables. # More judicial horror... Bush nominated the leading critic of the separation of church and state, Michael McConnell, to a federal judgeship. # Bush's oil buddies celebrated when he nominated J. Steven Giles as Deputy Secretary of the Interior. Giles was an oil and coal lobbyist! # After brother Jeb "guaranteed Florida" in the 2000 elections, thousands of eligible voters in the state were mysteriously turned away from the polls. Bush and co. denies this ever happened, takes the election, and screws the world... # Bush cut $60 million from a Boy's and Girl's Clubs of America program for public housing. # Undermining a Clinton-era agreement, Bush gave $95 million to North Korea for their nuclear programs and waived the part of the agreement that required inspections to ensure no weapons-grade plutonium was being hidden. # Bush adds another passionate opponent of civil rights to his list by nominating Terrence Boyle to a federal judgeship. # Looking for a little more waste in America? Try Bush proposing to ease environmental considerations for permits for refineries, nuclear plants, and hydroelectric dam construction. # Bush nominated Linda Fisher - an executive for Monsanto - to the Environmental Protection Agency. Monsanto is one of the largest farming and pesticide biotechnology companies in the world. # "There is no gap in gender pay," implies Bush Council of Economic Advisers appointee Diana Roth. # Bush cut $700 million in capital funds for public housing repairs. # Promises, promises... Or outright lies! Bush promised $15 billion in AIDS funding for Africa in his 2003 State of the Union Address, then "accidentally" left it out of the budget. # Bush eased field-testing controls of genetically engineered crops. # In a Supreme Court Case, Bush opposed affirmative action at Michigan State. # Just because he can't read more than 5 words at a time, Bush is working to ensure you won't be able to - by cutting federal spending on public libraries by $39 million. # Faith-based idiocy! Bush created $4 million in federal grant money for HIV and drug abuse prevention programs - but only for religious groups and non-secular equivalents. # Eliminating workers' rights and environmental safety, Bush renegotiated a free trade agreement with Jordan. # Big business buddies love this one: Bush proposed to reverse a federal regulation to protect 60 million acres of national forest from logging and road building. # More Iran-Contra ties... Bush appointed unindicted high-level Iran-Contra figure, John Negroponte, as the United Nations Ambassador. # Even more Iran-Contra ties... Bush appointed unindicted high-level Iran-Contra figure, Otto Reich, as the Assistant Secretary of State for Inter-American Affairs. # In these scandalous times of war crimes committed by Americans with possible ties to the executive staff, it's not hard to figure out why Bush renounced U.S. support for an International Criminal Court and aggressively campaigned to exempt all American personnel from its jurisdiction. He threatened to pull American support from all U.N. peacekeeping operations unless he got his way... # More reductions for the good of the corporations... Bush cut 28% of government funding for researching cleaner, more efficient automobiles.
I'm confused, when did the US ever sign the Kyoto treaty? I'm also confused about why abolishing affirmative action is wrong. I thought judging people on the color of their skin and giving them special benefits because of the color of their skin was wrong. Also, why was it bad that a president was raising funds to support freedom fighters attempting to overthrow a totalitarian government (Iran-Contra)? What's wrong with genetically engineered crops? Have you ever looked into where broccoli came from? (interesting side note: broccoli and James Bond are connected). I have more questions I'll ask later.
I don't think you should be calling other nations 'stupid' in that context. It was only 99% of the world who beleived him. Including most, if not all, americans. Hell, i think even saddam was beginning to believe him.
Good post! The election is over, let's further discuss this. It is not too often you hear people actually give details into how he fucked up the country, usually it is a blanket statement "Bush fucked up the country". Provide some links to your 21 claims and let's analyze how Bush really fucked this country up.
