Product Description
"The election of 2004 is not about whether
you like George Bush better than John Kerry.
The election of 2004 is about one thing only:
It is a referendum on George Bush's record.
It is our only chance to get rid of him before
he can do any more damage-to our nation, to
our environment, and to our children's future."
In the election campaign of 2000, candidate George W. Bush ran as a compassionate conservative. He promised to be a uniter, not a divider. He promised an America where no child is left behind. He promised to control spending and balance the budget. And he promised a humble foreign policy. Instead, President Bush has just about wrecked our country. He's spent money like a drunken sailor, taking our economy from A-OK to IOU. He's pitted Americans against one another, waged war on the environment, created new enemies around the world, and left us even more vulnerable to terrorism. There's only one thing you can count on if George W. Bush is re-elected: more of the same. The same disastrous policies, the same crony capitalism, and the same broken promises. That's why Bush Must Go. In this essential and timely handbook, Bill Press focuses on the ten most important reasons why this president does not deserve a second term. It doesn't matter whether your priority is the economy, health care, the war on terror, or homeland security. George W. Bush is on the wrong side of all the issues, and Bush Must Go is a galvanizing call-to-arms that will give you, in one place, all the ammunition you'll need to help dump the Toxic Texan and reclaim our country.

Press offers a great text filled with sources and facts regarding the years of the Bush Administration. Every single page of his work is testament to why I did not vote for that Texas failure back in 2004.
Highly recommended. Read this book!

I've seen Bill Press as another clueless talking head on cable news over the years. In fact, he's on C-SPAN2 right now hawking his next book and saying things so outrageously deceptive that I'm surprised the stage doesn't crack open and Mr. Press falls into the bowels of the earth.
He just said, "There are no passages in the Bible condemning gay marriage." Is this guy serious?
The behavior itself would get you killed back then, does Press think maybe a few demonstrations and a petition-signing would help the cause? In the mind of Bill Press, Soddom and Gomorrah might have avoided getting nuked from on high if they'd only passed civil union legislation.
But that's the kind of logic you get from someone like Bill Press: It's not an abortion because it's just "birth matter." George Bush can't believe in God because Bush is the enemy. Etc., etc.
When Press insists that God cannot be on the Republican's side because he says "I'm sure SHE's a liberal," you know he's going for a rimshot than for anything requiring any depth or thought.
I know they absolutely despise the vicious Republican right-wing attack machine (where can I get a T-shirt?) and blame them for exposing the liberal's philosophy as a complete fraud, but they'll never be honest enough to admit that the liberals--like Bill Press--have done more to discredit the Left than anyone else.
It's all right there. Read it for yourself.

This book by Bill Press was a major eye-opener into the criminal tactics that have been pulled off by the Bush administration in the nearly four years after being selected by the Supreme Court in November of 2000.
The things I've read in this book really shocked me immensely especailly with the Patriot Act (George Orwell is rolling in his grave or crying in his current lifetime) and what it's really about, the crony capitalism that is rampant in our country, the assault that has been waged against the environment, but on top of it all, the despicable act of going to war in Iraq based on a pack of lies.
I never knew that in fact Saddam Hussein and Osama Bin Laden actually hated each other immensely but this book tells the facts that completely destroy the rationale of Iraq being connected to the events of September 11.
It also gives background into some of the top officials in office right now which are absolutely alarming and sickening.
Even when we vote them out of office, this book should still be read as a reminder of just what the results may be when we let crooks sneak their way into power and doing nothing about it.
I ask everyone from all over the political spectrum to go and buy this book today. You couldn't get a better fact-finder than this.

Bill Press brilliantly allows George W. to make the best case against himself. The few critical reviews below do not accurately portray the organization and basis for this book. The real "rantings" are of Bush and his administration who themselves lay out the most convincing evidence for the "Top Ten Reasons Why Bush Doesn't Deserve A Second Term." Unending quotes, citations, and promises made by Bush give the most accurate portrayal and representation to any American as to why one should not vote for the man. The endless citations are tirelessly tied together to unveil Bush as a man of deception and self-interest. There can be no other conclusion!
It's important that an analyst take the subject's own quotes and use this direct and incontrovertible evidence to prove their assertions about the subject's credibility, reliability, and truthfulness. This lends complete credence to the author's assertions. Bill Press wisely lets Bush, et al., do the convincing, which is more than enough to make the case to any reasonable person that "Bush Must Go."
Here's one of my own examples of Bush's evil deceit not contained in Press's book. We all cannot forget how the Bush administration stonewalled for Condoleeza Rice to testify before the 9/11 commission. When he finally caved in to political pressure, Bush had the audacity and immorality to state that Rice would testify because we owed it to those who died on 9/11. Yes, I heard it myself while driving home from work and was shocked that he would use the deaths of 3000 people as an excuse at the last minute. It goes along with Press's observation that the first Republican convention to be held in New York City this year was no accident. And the fact that the convention was also delayed by a week to come closer to 9/11 shows that Bush, indeed, has attempted to profit politically by the deaths of 9/11 victims just as his first campaign advertisement had. Bush has also made himself unaccountable by blaming everything on 9/11 (i.e., jobs, the economy, and Iraq).
All in all, a diligently researched book, with citations, dates, sources, and et.al, all referenced for your further investigative/confirmation inclinations. If you are on the fence, read this; it should definitely convince you that Bush doesn't deserve a second term.

This book is a great read, and puts the Bush presidency under the microscope.
Just the facts ma'am. You can't argue with them, you can only choose to remain willfully ignorant or you can put your country first and do the right thing: Vote Bush out.
This election is a referendum on Bush, period.
This book highlights the top ten reasons why Bush is a failure, although Bill Press could make a top 30 list and still have room for a nice epilouge.
