Bush leave Australia and don't come back! (page 5)

wozadummy

Our government reps are a bunch of arse lickers ,and alot of Australians are ashamed of them too......after all people here paid to hear Clinton talk ,but then that's probably what he did to Monica Lewinski before he blew his load on her clothes ,and then "I did not have sexual relations with that woman", but they obviously liked Clintons talk and recieved a load on them too!

most people that hate Bush have no idea why. It's just the 'cool' thing to do.

I've heard more than once: "Bush ruined social security, that's why I dislike him!!"

ummmm....

Maybe you would prefer something more to your liking maybe China or Russia somewhere where you would not be allowed to speak your freedom... Yea that evil Bush and the Evil US. Who do they think they are.

Another case of "missing the point". They are shutting down an entire city on account of him. Not just any city either, but the largest in Australia. All for one person. This is on top of hearing Howard crow every five minutes about his close association with Bush. He backs Bush on everything, mostly against the interests of his own country.

It's an APEC summit, not a Bushfest. They're cracking down on security because we have the heads of state of the entire Pacific Rim here.

To read this stuff, you'd think security was never tightened in Sydney before, nor everyday citizens inconvenienced. It happens quite often. Royal visits and the annual Gay and Lesbian Mardis Gras are two examples.

As for "would this happen were Howard to visit Washington?"; if he were attending an APEC summit hosted by D.C., you bet!!

Calm down people, before you burst a blood vessel! Take a deep breath, sit back in your favourite chair, and relax.

ok; I'm relaxed.

Now I feel better.

Before I got so excited, I should have known what I was talking about.

Maybe he will meet up with a Sydney Funnel Web Spider.

most people that hate Bush have no idea why. It's just the 'cool' thing to do.

Hmmm lets count the reasons:

1. Tax cuts leading to massive, unprecedented deficits
2. Preemptive wars against non-aggressive nations
3. Sanctioning of torture
4. De-regulation of environment protections
5. Weakening of the separation of church and state
6. Exempting the gun industry from lawsuits
7. Weakening of individual privacy protections
8. Rejection of international organizations - U.N., World Court, etc.
9. Increased hatred of the U.S.A. in Islamic countries
10. Increase in terrorist attacks since 9/11
11. Neglect of poverty in the U.S.A. and abroad
12. Shifting the tax burden from wealthy corporations and individuals to wage earners
13. Reducing (hoping to abolish) estate taxes thus creating "a permanent aristocracy" in America
14. Furthering anti-intellectualism - a president who admittedly does not read and is embarrassingly inarticulate
15. Increased military spending; hostility to spending for social services
16. Increased number of Americans without health care
17. Rejection of minimum wage increases - five consecutive years
18. Applying the principle of awarding lucrative contracts to crony companies without competitive bidding
19. Attempts to privatize Social Security
20. Four consecutive years of increases in the percentage of Americans living in poverty

Yea, I think I have pretty good reasons to despise the man.

Maybe you can explain in what ways those things have made your life more difficult and what each means, AND examples of each?

>>>> Of course we're off topic here

(sorry guys)

Bush leave Australia and don't come back!
