Good advice, Intrepid2002. I'll try not dwelling on the bass ackward agenda of Bush administration: Bush foreign policy: war makes us safer, Saudi Arabia is our friend Bush economic policy: huge deficits make our economy stronger, besides any economic difficulties were inherited from a previous administration Bush environmental policy: dropping protections makes companies behave in a more responsible manner with the health and safety of the public in mind Bush health policy: capping tort will deliver affordable health care to the millions of uninsured people in the country Bush immigration policy: unnecessary to have one, see Presidente Fox for details Also - thanks for the definitions. I'm glad that someone other than just me can see where the words I used might reflect certain aspects of President Bush's public image. I know that Bush supporters would object because the definitions are not particularly complimentary. |

Bush is doing just fine. I have absolutely no idea why people don't like what the man is doing in office. |

I can see and understand the point of view of those who are unhappy with him and the decisions he is making. It makes sense not every one is of the same mind on every issue. What I don’t understand and find funny and sad actually are those who try to paint Bush as the anti-Christ. But if it helps them deal with their emotions why not let them do what makes them feel good. This is after all America, the land of "ME" and the home of the selfish. |

^^^ That's right, and what you've written is actually more to my point. It's one thing to disagree, but to hate the man is another thing altogether. |

I don't hate the man- I really don't think that You can hate a person without meeting them (there are very few people I hate) I loathe the policy decisions he makes, and find many aspects of his presidency most disurbing, but I don't hate the man. Just the fake photo op Uniform. |

^^^ Cptjeff, I was speaking generally. That's the second time that that has happened. My posts are often directed at no one; rather, they are statements often meant only to be thought about. |

But my point is that I just don’t get words like "loathe" or "disturbing" no matter what part of the man or his presidency you are talking about. It makes me think, ether you are over reacting, don’t have a keen grasp of realty, or you are a every angry person (in general, not just on this issue). I save words like Loath or disturbing when I think about the acts of people like Hitler and ect. Their deeds and acts where loathsome and disturbing. At best Bush’s acts and deeds are stupid and misguided, nothing to loath or be disturbed about, just something to stop. Look at it this why, there are people who disagreed with Clintons polices as much as you disagree with Bush’s polices, what would you think of those people who say they loath and are disturbed by Clinton. Me for example, as time goes by, am every unhappy with Clinton (a man I supported at the time) and what he did while in office. But just because I am unhappy with him does not mean I loathe him or his policies – I just disagree with him/them. Bottom line words mean things, and words like Loathe, disturbed, apocalyptic, zealot, pious carry even greater weight then other words. To throw them around as if they are everyday words does a disservice to the situation on which you are using them (by elevating it more then it should, causing unneeded problems), and it does a disservice to situations where the words should be used (by down grading them to the level of the current situation) |

Some on this board have said they loath Clinton. In fact the person I am thinking up specifically said he respected the office of the President, but loathed the person in the office at the time. |
