Reasons for hating President Bush... What have I missed?
I have this list of reasons I hate President Bush, listed on this blog. I also added a few in a response. Am I forgetting anything?
http://openletterstopresidentbush.blogspot.com /
*An unnecessary, unjust, immoral and illegal war based on incorrect intelligence at best, and outright lies at worst
*Gross incompetence in handling that war
*Rampant corruption and cronyism
*$3 trillion added to that national debt in seven years, the vast majority coming in the first six years, with a “fiscally conservative†(say that with straight face) Republican congress
Soaring trade deficits, hitting $763.3 billion in 2006
*A severely weakened dollar
*A health care crisis you did nothing about – sky-rocketing costs leaving 47 million uninsured, millions more under insured and even fully insured middle class families in dire straights in the event of serious medical problems
*An energy crisis you did nothing about – especially the continued reliance on oil, the rapidly escalating costs of which are tricking throughout the economy
*Failed educational policy
*A severely degraded environment, jeopardizing the ecological sustainability necessary for future prosperity
...
*Stagnant wages among all workers, even degreed professionals, and steadily disappearing manufacturing jobs
*Severe restrictions of liberties essential to democracy, such as freedom of speech and religion
*Imprisonment without any actual charges, without any representation, without any hope for those who may not be guilty of anything
*Use of torture
Some silly blather. What I found most unusual is that the DUmmie actually said "President Bush." Go Figure.

....and that's going to be their downfall, not just the dummies, but the candidates. They are spending ALL of their time running against someone that isn't even f'n running. When they get to the general election, they're toast. I'm not supporting Huckabee, but if he's the winner in the primaries, they're toast. That man could, to borrow a phrase from Tommy Boy, sell ketchup to a woman in white gloves.

I'll give the Dummie one of his/(her?) points...the failed educational policy. The No Child Left Behind /is a total trainwreck. Good idea in theory, but there is NO WAY to fairly implement it.
