While Bush was swearing into office, I was also swearing. I'm going to have a major heart attack if he wins this election.

Actually, I'm more afraid to see a news headline in the near future that reads "Osama captured by our victorious and righteous leader: Bush". His poll counts took a spike straight up when they captured Sadam. I'm more afraid that they've already captured Osama and that they're saving it for election week.

So you'd rather see Americans harmed and terrorists on the loose than Bush re-elected ?
Uh... I don't know where you got that idea. In fact, the capture of Osama will probably cause more Americans abroad to be harmed than usual.
Why would the capture of OBL be a bad thing?
It's not such a bad thing. However, the same unwashed masses that blamed Bush for the economic crises will embrace him for the capture, even though in no direct way did he cause the stock market free fall or will he cause the capture of Osama.
You'd rather we let him run around until Kerry can take the credit ?
The unwashed masses can embrace Kerry if they want, but I'm not going to embrace either of them. I will embrace the men and women that actually capture the guy, thank you.

This country was founded on the basis of majority rule with minority rights. Being a minority president (president that lost the popularity vote but won the electoral vote) represents the opposite of majority rule. Bush wants to take away the rights of certain minority groups because, supposedly, his religion tells him to. For example, he's been trying to pass a bill that would effectively ban all gay marriages in the future. In other words, he is trying to get congress to pass an amendment that specifically targets a minority group of American citizens and take away some of their rights.
Enough reasons to "hate" him?
