I hate George W. Bush.
There, I said it. The accusation gets thrown around a lot on a message board I frequent, and a lot of lefties go "I don't hate him, I hate his policies!" Well, not me. I hate him. I think he is a vile, corrupt piece of human detritus. I don't get how he keeps coming off tops in polls as the candidate people would most like to hang out with. Not only are his policies reprehensible, he just doesn't come across to me as someone who would be pleasant to be around at all.
I've also heard people defend his intelligence, saying he may not be book smart, but he is smart. If this man is truly intelligent, then he is evil. His policies have hurt the environment, cost jobs, and resulted in thousands of lost human lives while further enriching the wealthy. Stupid or evil, it's one or the other. Not that I have anything against dullards, but just don't give them a job that lets them fuck up countless lives.
It's a good thing I'm likely never going to meet the man. I'd probably be able to hold back enough to not spit in his face, but I'd still break enough protocol to create an international incident. He is just nasty, putrid filth. Does all this colour how I see his every action? Damned right it does. He was foisted into power by people with a lot of money who want even more money and by fundamentalist Christians, and every move he makes is to acquiesce to those two groups. You can't do that without hurting society.
So there you go. I hate George W. Bush, and I don't hate very many people. Good job, Shrub.
