Comment Rescue: Love!

David Anderson:

I love President Bush

Love!

Never mind the fact that he goes on to criticize Bush. He only does so with love in his heart.

Tell me, Republicans, though you may have many criticisms of your former president, do you still love him?

    Why does he love President Bush? Personally, I have always found Bush’s personality to be annoying, a combination of a socially awkward nerd and a mean bully, with a dash of frat boy moronics.

    There was nothing I liked about Bush the person, much less love.

    There was no personal accomplishment to admire. Bush never did anything on his own. He failed at everything he ever attempted, only to be saved by his father and the family fortune.

    I suppose you can give him credit for quiting drinking at the age of 40 and for finding religion, but even that got annoying when used as a crutch to explain his character. For I am all for personal betterment, but I don’t want to hear about it.

    Indeed, there is nothing more off putting than being in a conversation with someone, and having them ask “Have you found Jesus yet?” First, it is none of their business, but I don’t say that. I say “I never lost him.”

    So even Bush’s sole accompishment is annoying to me.

    So, seriously, why does Dave love Bush the person? Why? I really want to know.

    As a lifelong lover of a good oxymoron i`m sure going to miss the big guy from Texas. The clean skies initiative, written by and for the people who actually cause the problems, the healthy forest act written by and for the lumber companys, I will feel lost without this kind of great stuff. To be really good at this kind of stuff you have to owe your very existents to the supreme oxymoron, intelligent design.

    Any body ever find out were they fill up with non-fossil fuel? I`m thinking I might try a eank full.

    sti, the patriot act which was . . . . well . . . unpatriotic.

    I just read the original comment again in context. It is fucking awesome. Like watching a Special Ed class do calculus.

    Nemski; ah the memories you can`t take that away from me, my freedom my wealth and everything else but not the memories.

    let’s be HONEST here and say, that the Cowboy clearing brush and riding in on his jet fighter were all part of the rugged tough guy image people like David fell in love with…romantically.

    I definitely saw a lot of mancrushes on Bush after he landed on the aircraft carrier (the notorious “Mission Accomplished” photo op).

    DD,

    I often thought the stories of Bush’s redemption from drinking by finding religion was a story to tell people so they would vote for Bush despite his history of failure.

  13. I like a lot of things about President Bush. He is a friendly straight shooting, caring individual. He is the type of guy who quietly visits the military hospitals and calls all of the casualty families that he can personally. He loves his family. He is loyal to his friends. He is dedicated to protecting the people of this nation.

    The man pretty much ended racial profiling even in the face of conservative criticism that after 9/11. He fought to improve the schools including forgotten inner city ones. He cared about the ex-prisoner who needed a better life.

    GWB loves his wife and children. He loves his parents and siblings. He loves his God. He is a decent man.

    That is why I hate the personal attacks on him. His policies are fair game, but on a personal level– I think he is a good man.

  14. anonone says:

    Bush – he is the nicest torturer you’d ever want to meet. And all those dead people on 9/11? Gee, he was reading to kids at the time. That’s dedication.

    And isn’t it nice the way he visits the spouses and children of the soldiers he killed by unnecessarily sending them into war and lying to the country and the world about it. Swell person. Real straight shooter. Shock and awe.

    And let’s not forget all the thousands of dead and maimed Iraqi men, women, and children that he visited, and how they all said that they couldn’t have had their lives destroyed by a nicer guy! And his justice department that worked diligently to ensure fine white people and repubs had the right to vote.

    And what a nice person to demand schools meet higher standards but not provide any money for them, but give money to the wealthiest instead. And how the number of children living in extreme poverty skyrocketed under his compassionate guidance while the rich got richer.

    Let’s not forget how this decent compassionate man who loves his children publicly mocked the people he executed.

    Oh, and the god that he loves and that told him to go to war in Iraq? Too bad that his god didn’t tell him that there weren’t any WMDs there. It only would only have saved a half a million lives.

    Good man? Try a murderous sociopath killer and wannabe dictator.

  15. Bush was a confrontational prick. It oozed out of him with every candid reaction to a question in a press conference.

    Loving Bush sounds like something abnormal — surely there must be a definition for that kind of sickness in the psych manual.
