Right over [here](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=188459) a discussion arose about how Non-US’ers feel about Bush. I hate and distrust the fucker. Next 🙂 ---

Can’t stand him, nor (almost) any of his foreign policy. Sorry. ---

If you want to expand please do BTW As I said in the linked thread I don’t know ANYONE who has anything good to say about him. I work in I.T. for very large accountancy firm where you’d expect to find more conservative leanings but no-one I’ve talked to about him and that’s a good few were positive about him even though a good few said they would normally side with republican thinking. ---

I don’t ‘hate’ him, just don’t think he cuts it as President. He’s the kind of guy I’d like to have a chat with, though, over some coffee perhaps 😉 ---

I adore the fella and think that he is the bestest human being on the planet. Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to go to hospital. I fell down the stairs a short time ago and am suffering from major head trauma. ---

Trust him as far as I can throw him But I think that when you use the word hate or other absolute sounding words it weakens any argument against him. Every point you make after saying you hate someone is suspect to being perceived as a warped vision due to hatred. ---

Could people specify their nationality in this poll please (mine’s in my location)? ---

Every point you make after saying you hate someone is suspect to being perceived as a warped vision due to hatred. Point taken. I intensely dislike the majority of the man and his Admin. policies and think he and his Admin. are a major destabilising element in world afairs ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by jjimm \* > \*\*Could people specify their nationality in this poll please (mine’s in my location)? \*\* With respect, I don’t think that’s necessary. The OP already specified non-US dopers so I don’t think it matters. Should an American doper post in this thread perhaps only they should mention so. ---

Okay? (Hey! Hey! Hey! HEY! You know you really are an asshole?) Why don’t ya just shut up and sing the song pal? (sung) I’m an asshole! (I’m an asshole!) I’m an ashole! I’m an asshole!

I have never met the man and so I can’t say I ‘hate’ him. But I hate what he has done and I fear what he will continue to do. The first time I saw him was at the Republican leadership convention, he mentioned America’s two biggest problems: the underfunded military and the ‘rights of the unborn.’ A chill went through me. He has done nothing to redeem himself since then. ---

I see no reason for anyone to trust him… I don’t see any goodwill in him. I don’t see a smart person in him… I don’t see any authority in him… ( He is the type of person that just doesn’t fill up the seat he is occupying) if you know what I mean… and he is irresponsible enough to screw with the lives of millions in an imoral quest!! How could someone like the man? [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/non-us-dopers-a-poll-do-you-dislike-bush/179585.md?page=2)
