here comes more...
21. bush jr. is the first president in u.s. history to enter office with a criminal record.
22. bush jr. has set the all-time record for most people worldwide to simultaneously protest a leader (10million people), shattering ther ecord for protests against any person in the history of humankind. (emphasis added).
23. he slashed funding to the violence against women act (ed: say it with me, booooo!!!!)
24. he has invaded and occupied two countries at a continuing cost of one billion dollars per week.
25. he appointed charles pickering, a notorious segregationist from mississippi, as a federal judge and suspiciously did so on martin luther king day (emphasis added; ed: what the hell??!!)
26. bush has spent over 100 billion on iraq, leaving states to face the largest budget crises in decades and forced to cut off public services; now with the federal deficit at a new high bush jr. wants to award more tax breaks to the wealthy.
27. under new bush legislation (the clear skies initiative), power plants are allowed to emit triple the amount of highly-toxic mercury into the environment (ed: so you just design a really horrible law and then give it some bullshit flowery name and everything sounds fine? i'm confused...)
28. bush jr. failed to protect 3 million acres of the tongass national forest from logging. the tongass has the highest concentration of bald eagles (ed: um, the freaking symbol of our nation?!) on earth and has already lost 700 square miles to logging with 33 more logging permits pending. not even the sanctity of our endangered national bird can compete with bush campaign contributions provided by the forest industry.
29. he is on pace to have taken more vacation than any president in history (ed: doesn't really matter because he's probably not really doing anything anyways....), including a 28-day vacation right before 9/11. bush jr. has taken 6 months of vacation in total...do you know anyone who gets six months of vacation? (ed: no)
30. he pulled out of the kyoto agreement on global warming, which had been agreed upon by 178 other countries.
31. bush jr. is endorsed by fundamentalist pat robertson (ed: booooo) who claims that god told him bush will win re-election (ed: that doesn't necessarily mean it's a good thing; godprophecies aren't always good) and that "it doesn't make a difference what bush does because god is blessing him". bush keeps some great company, but keep in mind that robertson was also the nitwit who blamed the 9/11 attacks on gays and suggested that we "nuke" the state department.
32. he set the record for the most executions by any governor in american history. 152 in total; some of whom were mentally disabled (ed: as a psychologist, i say, shame on you!)
33. he has repeatedly stonewalled the public investigation into 9/11 (ed: something to hide, georgie?)
34. bush jr. declined to fully fund the aids inititiative after promising to do so. the final cuts that resulted were over $2billion.
35. he still suggests that homosexuals are "sinners" and is pushing legislation that would forbid gay partnerships and deny fundamental civil rights on a local and national level (ed: i hate him more at each bullet point).
36. choked on a pretzel and nearly lost his life while seated in front of a tv (ed: god must have dislodged that pretzel for him)
37. bush jr. has gone to great lengths to prevent investigations of his friends at enron and halliburton (ed: booo, hisssss). more time and money was spent investigating the monica lewinsky affair than has been spent investigating one of the biggest corporate scandals in history.
38. bush jr. has set the record for the fewest amounts of press conferences by a president since the advent of television (ed: i would just like to say hallelujah in response to this because he sucks at that)
39. responsible for a 521 billion dollar budget deficit....less than 4 years after inheriting a 200 billion dollar surplus (ed: i wouldn't even let him be the banker in monopoly)
40. he has made repeated attempts to legalize oil drilling in the national wildlife refuge (ed: he sucks)
so that's it, kids. if anyone i know votes for bush, i will no longer be their friend. thanks.
