I hate Bush who hates him with me

Maybe you guys should take a swiftboat.

Why is it always such a mystery to the righties out there that Bush is more hated around the world, as well as in this country by roughly half the electorate, then any other president in modern American history?

The thousands of protestors in New York, and the millions in this country AND around the world who are against Bush, it becomes less of a mystery what damage this man has done in his last 4 years in office.

Fortunately, there is only two more months before Bush is out of office. Then, perhaps, the hatred will subside.

Now that's quite a record.

It was just a guess Dook.

Btw, I get to Europe once in a while, and as long as those guys don't like us, (which they never have, despite some revisionist attempts at history), we are doing OOOOOOHKAYYYYYY. Old Europe's case of envy re: the US is awesome, and they are lead by the nose by their media in a way that US networks can only dream of. The idea of fairness is, well, foreign to them.

That reminds me of some of the celebrities who vowed to leave if Mr. Bush was elected the first time. The one that stands out in my mind is Alec Baldwin, although I hear he now claims he didn't make such a statement. To my knowledge, he's also still here LOL.

Anyone remember any others who claimed they'd leave but are still here?

Maybe I should "snope" this LOL.
