I voted for him because I believed he was the lesser of two evils. I think I may have been wrong, but there is, of course, no way to know. I'm simply curious as to the rationale behind the belief that he is still making the right decisions. I have seen very few intelligent ones (granted he does have the occasional one).
I'm not looking to start a fight, although I know that will happen with this question. Intelligent answers are appreciated.

For several decades, NORAD had standing orders to automatically scramble fighters immediately upon a report of any highjacking. In July of '01, "president" Bush changed that order. Under the new standing order, no scrambling was allowed without the express order from the Secretary of Defence (Donald Rumsfeld). This order stood for about 3 months...from 2 months before until a few weeks after 9/11. If this order had not been put into effect, fighters would have been scrambled and the planes would have either been escorted to the closest secure airport or shot down.
Regardless of who planned and executed the 9/11 attacks, and regardless of any intelligence available or not available, "President" Bush's order allowed 9/11 to happen.
That change of orders seems rather idiotic, doesn't it? An order for NORAD NOT to scramble in an emergency? Or perhaps it was part of the plan...after all, Bush has been shown to have a genius IQ (at least according to some).

How come if you torture your pet, you can escape punishment, or only spend a couple months in jail? Pets aren't things, and I think people who hurt animals are as twisted as people who hurt other people.

Should murderers always be given the ultimate penalty? There are cases where it is only a one-time thing, and they'll never do it again - what's the point of putting them in prison for life? Most murderers kill in rare, heated passion - in some cases I'd say a 20 or 30 year sentence is more appropriate than life or the death penalty.
However you can argue that if you kill somebody, no matter how much you've changed it's not safe to bring you back into society, and of course all serial killers should never be let out since they have an incurable sickness.

Has anybody ever considered that with his drunken driving conviction, Bush is the first president that is a convicted felon?
Shouldn't it be law that convicted felons can't run for president?
Where was MADD (Mothers against drunk drivers) when this drunkard ran for president?
How about all the children he could have killed while drunk driving?

Everytime I ask you people what it is that George Bush does for our country you can't give me a straight answer? All you can do is point your fingers but you can never back up your point. Even when you try and back up your point you "beat around the Bush" about it? Come on people, give me some hardcore facts here. If he was behind you and you two were playing the trust game where you fall back into the other persons arms, can you honestly say that he would caught you? right....

What would you do if the Democratic Party either disappeared completely or could only maintain, say, 10 Senate seats and 40 or so House seats? Are we ready for a one-party system?

Woodward's new book "State of Denial" and the latest reports by the Pentagon and other agencies paint an entirely different picture than the one W. has been showing us. Is it delusion or outright deceit? In the latest poll 60% of Iraqis approve of attacks on our troops. The vast majority want us out of Iraq within a year. This is something we will never hear from the current administration. Joeseph Goebbels would fit right in as the minister of misinformation.

Dame Eliza Manningham-Buller is a name not many people have heard of. She is one of the most powerful and corrupt woman in Britain today in my view. Who is this lady?, she is Director General of the British MI5 organization and one of the few people in the world who knows who assassinated Princess Diana in paris. British taxpayers pay her salery and therefore don't we deserve to be told by her the truth of what happened on that faightful night in Paris?. How many other people has she sent to their deaths?.

If you're pro-choice then you're pro-abortion. If there weren't any pro-abortionists there wouldn't be pro-choice
If you're pro-choice/abortion/murder then surely you'll have the stomach to view what you condone.

Is it true that people who pursue these careers tend to end their lives earlier due to stress from what they've encountered during their service? Will working in a field like this cause one to become emotionally distant from society, create immense stress in a marriage, and also make it difficult to fall asleep at night?
I've heard stories about how working in an Emergency Field will cause people to change for the worse. Any input would be much appreciated, as I have an interest in becoming a Paramedic, or possibly a Police Officer.
