We're irrational on the subject.

Why we don't like him is the most beautifully worded response to the often heard "Bush Derrangemeng Syndrome!" accusation I've ever read. I highly recommend it.

I would just like to point out, as if it hasn't been pointed out a thousand times and won't need to be pointed out a thousand more, that the reason Liberals don't like George W. Bush's plans is that they are bad plans that he makes worse by managing them incompetently and corruptly---in fact, incompetence and corruption are usually built into them as selling points to Republicans.

And the reason we don't like him is that he has a long history of pushing bad plans that he makes worse by managing them incompetently and corruptly.

We don't like people who kick dogs.

We don't like corporate executives who abuse employees and hurt their own companies.

We don't like dishonest electricians who do substandard work.

We don't like incompetence and corruption.

And we don't like Presidents who start unnecessary wars and lose them, who let cities drown, who bankrupt the Treasury and give away the store to their rich pals and cronies, who write legislation specifically designed to undermine existing government services, make things worse for the poor and the middle class, and give away the store to their rich pals and cronies.

Too bad for us.

We also don't like vice-presidents who have sold their soul for the enrichment of energy companies. We don't like neo-cons who don't think twice about sacrificing thousands of American kids and killing hundreds of thousands of innocent people to suit their "grand vision" of the world. We also have a problem with subverting both the letter and the spirit of The Constitution, The Bill of Rights and the Geneva Conventions. We don't care for those who seek to destroy the balance of power that keeps our Republic strong. Or for those who thumb their nose at every civilized nation, and treat the United Nations as their private whipping boy. I think we also have a problem with men who commit acts of torture and other violations of human rights laws, and then try and pass laws to protect themselves from prosecution.

We're so fucking unreasonable.
