What about the * Administration infuriates you the most?

[Rocknrule]

Stealing the elections? Wiping their ass with the Constitution? Creating a "you're either with the Republicans or with the terrorists" atmosphere in America? Having an insatiable love for war and death, as much of it as possible? Allowing/causing 9/11 to happen? The abysmal way they delt with Katrina? Or just their arrogance that has caused the whole world to turn against us?

For me, it's stealing the elections. It showcases their arrogance and sets the stage for everything else.

[TallahasseeGrannie]

1. His petulance

[C_U_L8R]

2. The smirk

It's the merishino cherry of arrogance
atop a whole shitload of lies and corruption.

[treestar]

3. Wiping their ass with the Constitution

[panader0]

4. It all comes down to lying. The elections, the war, the spying...........

[notadmblnd]

5. The blatent -in -your- face- arrogance of these

spoiled rich SOB's. "It's my way or the highway and there is nothing anyone can do about it" attitude.

[seabeyond]

6. lying at every turn. that inclludes the smearing of people

with outrageous falsehood and it being picked up and filtered thruout our society. that includes, when they know they are going ot be called on something they immediately start accusing the other side of it to murk up the waters. it entails so much of who they are as a party

[cspanlovr]

7. To me, its their indignant reaction when caught red handed.

It adds insult to injury.

[napi21]

8. The absolute secrecy!

They insist on keeping EVERYTHING secret thus making me believe everything they're doing is evil, illegal, or just plain wrong! If you are sooo afraid to say who attended meetings, to admit what you really are doing in all the different programs, you MUST HAVE SOMETHING TO HIDE!

[Rocknrule]

9. Oh, I forgot

The other thing that infuriates me is the double standards for Republicans and everyone else. Republicans can make death threats against liberals, break the law with their every move, start wars, steal elections, and molest children, but if a Dem even had the thought of doing those things cross his mind, he would be impeached/arrested/fired/investigated/hung/drawn/quartered/or all of the above

[Hubert Flottz]

10. The republican drones in congress.

Bush couldn't do any of the criminal things he's done without them backing him 100%!

[mod mom]

11. They were never elected, so everything they have done to destroy this

country/world/planet has been done despite the will of the American people.

[Jackpine Radical]

12. The thing that pisses me off the most about them is

the fact that they have done so much outrageous, incredible, mindbogglingly evil stuff that I don't know how to even begin answering a queston like this.

[im10ashus]

13. Its existence. eom

[KyuzoGator]

14. "You're either with us or against us."

Those seven words are a disgusting summary of what this administration stands for. Do it our way or we'll fucking destroy you.

[Giant Robot]

15. Oh I just love going on this rant...

9/11 really did change everything (and I am not going to go into the LIHOP or MIHOP arguments). After the 9/11 attacks Bush had such an amazing opportunity to unify the nation and the world and make this a wonderful society, nation and planet. The nation of Iran held a moment of silence in sympathy for the attacks! In France it was declared, "Today we are all Americans." Denmark (I think) offered to fly fighter patrols along our coast. The houses of Congress were working together without partisanship. That was what could have been he turning point for this country. I have no doubt that many of the things we all want, universal healthcare, economic justice, human rights, could have been passed or put into effect after 9/11. This could have been a great society.

But this is what he did with it. He has squandered all the international support and goodwill. He has destroyed our infrastructure. He has savaged our economy. He has us mired in a war that there is no end. And yes I blame him for all that. I am most infuriated by what could have been, but was not.

[treestar]

17. Please tell me what LIHOP and MIHOP stand for

Can't find it anywhere!

[Giant Robot]

33. Let it happen on purpose

or made it happen on purpose

[treestar]

36. Thank you, thank you! I kept seeing that and couldn't figure it out!

[Kokonoe]

16. Robbing our children to bribe MSM and governments to

create on alternate reality thereby destroying the inevitable peace and prosperity of the world.

[misternormal]

18. IMO...

The total lack of regard for human rights and human suffering within the borders of the country which he supposedly leads, and the lack of any caring for any who can not somehow serve him and his family.

His blatant disregard of the laws of this land as set forth in the Constitution of the United States, and above all, His lies.

[Rocknrule]

37. Don't capitalize "his" when referring to *

It only perpetuates the "Bush = God" mindset the freepers try to establish

[Asgaya Dihi]

19. Loss of history

Seems strange till you think about it, but what bothers me most is what seems to be the total loss of any historical perspective. We act as if this is the worst thing we've ever faced (terrorism) and anything can be justified by it. In that effort we ignore laws, historical precedent, our own Constitution and we seem able to reshape and rewrite events to suit our needs with no solid connection to reality required.

It's launched us into a fantasy land where reality is the smallest part of what justifies our actions, and I'm not so sure it's going to be easy to get away from that now that it seems firmly entrenched.

[area51]

20. What about the * Administration infuriates you the most?

• Cratering this economy into the 2nd Great Depression & making it next to impossible for people to get jobs.

• Starting an insane, illegal, unjustified Vietnam-type war.

• Leaving gulf coast residents to die in Katrina.

• Working to ensure that healthcare will only be available to the wealthiest.

• Making sure the United States pisses off every other country in the world.

• Torturing people/holding people w/o a trial and then claiming the moral high ground.

• Using the Constitution as toilet paper.

[salin]

21. Attempting to create a totalitarian/authoriatarian system of government.

They simply do not believe in the United States, in its Constitution, that its people have any worth/value and that the govt should not serve the needs of the people, but should be treated as a trough of money for their cronies and themselves.

[Individualist]

22. Their PNAC agenda

It includes everything mentioned in your post and much more.

[unpossibles]

23. at this point, I have to say "everything"

as much as I have disliked the Bush family since the mid- to late- 80's, each day brings new anger and disbelief toward these people. I don't like their policies, the smug smirk, and the public ignorance of it's Figurehead in Chief.

Papa Bush is a criminal, but in comparison, at least he was somewhat competent - not only are we being merrily lead into Hell by these thugs, but we look like idiots to the rest of the world.

Every time I see a photo of Bush and any other world leader, I cringe.

Whenever I hear the Great Decider speechify, I cringe.

When he chuckles like he's the only smart person in the world, I cringe.

[porphyrian]

24. That they are still in power rather than in jail awaiting trial. - n/t

[lonestarnot]

25. The smell.

[haab]

26. Their fucking hypocrisy...

... and disregard of the killing of innocent civilians in Iraq as they pursue an illegal and unjustified war....

[kansasblue]

27. Election fraud!

The country wanted to go another way in 2002, 2004.

[Seabiscuit]

28. The phony claims that everything they do is legal.

[NRaleighLiberal]

29. Ignorance. Arrogance. Lying. or, Everything!

[ncteechur]

30. The fact that it exists in the first place!

[survivor999]

31. Spreading of classified information

that cannot be talked about... Information that has nothing to do with national security and all with damage control, and control in general...

[WhiteTara]

32. that they exist at all

:grr:

[Mz Pip]

34. Its arrogance

and complete disregard for any point of view that contradicts its won policies.

Clinton consulted those who disagreed, so did Reagan, and so did Nixon. Bush is king. HE cares not what the people think.

Mz Pip
:dem:

[anarch]

35. I think it's that smug sense of entitlement.

There are so many things...illegal wars, illegal spying, torture, general fascism, catering to the wealthy overclass and the corporations, the stupidity, the lying, the rampant corruption...but I think it's that smugness that infuriates me more viscerally than anything else.
