Rock Against Bush, Vol. 1

CJ has a new punk rock compilation called Rock Against Bush, Vol. 1, which has been apparently put together by a heap of bands who are 'against Bush'.
Why does it 'rawk' to be anti-Bush? It appears that being anti-Bush these days is just part of being punk. It makes me wonder how much these bands and the people who buy their music actually know about politics and recent events.
Here are some excerpts from customer reviews:

    'i hate bushes ideas and ways of thinking, so this cd rocks. bush is just a silly right wing board again christian (no offense to super christians) who wants to put women back in the stone age.'

    'this cd is good. the music is good. the best part about it is that on the cd jacket it has reasons to hate bush jr., and it lists forty things that he did while president. i didnt even know a quarter of them. my favorite one is number twenty, which states that he dropped his dog on its head. anyway, even if you dont like this kind of music, you should just buy the cd, cuz its not a profit cd. and one should just buy it for the reasons one should hate george bush, cuz it is very "informative" and i learned stuff i didnt know before.'

    'There will always be terrorists, and the people in Iraq will always kill their own people.'
