7. You are with friends
Tell the group about your first Bashing?

Do you ever Bash alone?

Is Bashing hurting your work or family?

41. I began bashing in an earlier time...
...before he nefariously "became" president. I told everyone that he would find a way to pick a fight with Saddam, that he would rob the poor to feed the rich and that he was "religious" in a dangerous way to our economy and our educational system. Only lately has it begun to feel good to say "I told you so." Not good enough, though.

I never open a new bash alone, but have been known to finish one alone that's already open.

And no, bashER is not hurting anything near as much as the bashEE. But this might be just the bash talking...

5. I wanna join too! I'm from Ohio too and I'm a Bush Basher.
It's my favorite hobby.

Reason #2: Anyone who starts an illegal and immoral war deserves to be bashed on a continuous basis.

25. Well, it all started when I tried to 'put food on my family' to bring
'freeance and peance' to my house and my family first washed the food from their hair and then tried to commit me to an institution. I realized that it was either an institution or turning off CNN, 'tuning' into DU and righteously bashing baby bush. I chose wisely!

19. My name is Jamastiene and I have the overwhelming uncontrollable
urge to bash Bush anytime he missteps. He does that so often that I find myself thinking of new ways to bash him 24/7. It has taken over my life and I must join yer group to gain control.

21. The Bashing Comes from
anger and frustration over having such damaging, embarrassing, inept, selfish EB's (Evil *ies) in power (illegally).

27. I admit that I spent an entire weekend searching for Bushisms ...
I had to read through more than 8 months of his speeches, but despite the pain and nausea which this caused me (and of course, that's 2 days of my life I'm never getting back) -- I was completely happy and giggled like a schoolgirl while I was submitting them to www.dubyaspeak.com !

29. Hi, my name is DVJNU
At first, it was just a small Bushbash now and then. As the years went by, my bashing became more and more frequent, until even my friends began to avoid me as my Bushbashing seemed to go out of control. Realizing that my friends were doing what they could to keep me from starting on my Bushbashing, I became more subtle -- bashing Republican talking points whenever I could. Soon my family and friends tried to steer me clear of any political discourse. I began to bash secretly, early in the morning and late at night, where no one could see.
Then I discovered DU, and took the first step: I logged in. I'm still participating in the DU program and I'm hoping to have my Bushbashing completely under control by 2008.

38. Welcome to the BBA
You are among friends here... may our bush-bashing abate by and by before our collective bashing backfires and we aliterally break apart from the ball-breaking bomentum built up by our becoming together on this thread. That's in 2008, you say?

30. It would be morally wrong
to allow a sociopathic idiot like Chimpy to get away with the BS he tries to get away with and not call him on it. And it would be impolite. Chimpy invites abuse. The least we can do is oblige him. :evilgrin:

32. My name is Patsy Stone
and I am a Bush Basher.

My cubicle overflows with Bush Bashing. I have Bush Bashed alone, in the dark, as well as out in the bright light of day with family, friends, celebrities and those I work with. Electronically, verbally, non-verbally, in flyers I placed on cars.

I have railed on to strangers -- unsolicited testimonials.

If I kept this inside, I would develop ulcers.

I live in Florida. I get to bash TWO Bushes. More if you count Jebbie's dysfunctional family.


Hi, Botany! :loveya:

33. I think BBA could get legs like the EDVs
Funny but I seeing bush and Cheney going down hard and
maybe quite fast ...... Even the Christian Science Monitor
had Norm Ornstein of American Enterprise Institute who
said the Abramoff is about ready to blow the repug party
out of the water.

34. I've despised him pretty much nonstop for over 30 years.
He's everything wrong in America - privilege upon privilege, never being held accountable, able to get records destroyed, able to rewrite his own history, able to avoid Vietnam, bankruptcy, and criminal prosecutions because of his family.

He's remarkably unqualified to be president of anything.

37. I remember in June of 03 driving and i heard him say
"I got my looks on for 'em." In regards to some terrorist.

What a joke he is ..... no way he got to be president on his
own.

36. Bona fide Bush-Basher
Come on, the guy's putting us through hell. The fact that he's such a simpleton and so easy to make fun of is a sort of justice. At least we get a little comic relief while we suffer through these dark times.

BTW, I'm right out front about my Bush-bashing. I don't need to be anonymous.
