Answer 1

If the allegations against Bush, as presented on the film, were falsehoods, Mr. Moore would have be found guilty of libel in civil court by now. Time to think for yourselves "Bushmen"!!!

I've shared this with Answers people once before... it is so compelling that I must share it again!!!

George W. Bush
The White House, USA

EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE:

LAW ENFORCEMENT:
I was arrested in Kennebunkport, Maine, in 1976 for driving under the influence of alcohol. I pled guilty, paid a fine, and had my driver's license suspended for 30 days. My Texas driving record has been "lost" and is not available.

MILITARY:
I joined the Texas Air National Guard and went AWOL. I refused to take a drug test or answer any questions about my drug use. By joining the Texas Air National Guard, I was able to avoid combat duty in Vietnam.

COLLEGE:
I graduated from Yale University with a low C average.

PAST WORK EXPERIENCE:
I ran for U.S. Congress and lost. I began my career in the oil business in Midland, Texas, in 1975. I bought an oil company, but couldn't find any oil in Texas. The company went bankrupt shortly after I sold all my stock. I bought the Texas Rangers baseball team in a sweetheart deal that took land using taxpayer money.
With the help of my father and our right-wing friends in the oil industry (including Enron CEO Ken Lay), I was elected governor of Texas.

ACCOMPLISHMENTS AS GOVERNOR OF TEXAS:
I changed Texas pollution laws to favor power and oil companies, making Texas the most polluted state in the Union. During my tenure, Houston replaced Los Angeles as the most smog-ridden city in America. I cut taxes and bankrupted the Texas treasury to the tune of billions in borrowed money. I set the record for the most executions by any governor in American history. With the help of my brother, the governor of Florida, and my father's appointments to the Supreme Court, I became President after losing by over 500,000 votes.

ACCOMPLISHMENTS AS PRESIDENT:
I am the first President in U.S. history to enter office with a criminal record. I invaded and occupied two countries at a continuing cost of over one billion dollars per week. I spent the U.S. surplus and effectively bankrupted the U.S. Treasury. I shattered the record for the largest annual deficit in U.S. history. I set an economic record for most private bankruptcies filed in any
12-month period. I set the all-time record for most foreclosures in a 12-month period. I set the all-time record for the biggest drop in the history of the U.S. stock market. In my first year in office, over 2 million Americans lost their jobs I'm proud that the members of my cabinet are the richest of any administration in U.S. history. My "poorest millionaire," Condoleeza Rice, has a Chevron oil tanker named after her. I set the record for most campaign fund-raising trips by a U.S. President.
I am the all-time U.S. and world record-holder for receiving the most corporate campaign donations. My largest lifetime campaign contributor, and one of my best friends,
Kenneth Lay, presided over the largest corporate bankruptcy fraud in U.S. History, Enron.
My political party used Enron private jets and corporate attorneys to assure my success with the U.S. Supreme Court during my election decision. More time and money was spent investigating the Monica Lewinsky affair
than has been spent investigating one of the biggest corporate rip-offs in history. I presided over the biggest energy crisis in U.S. history and refused to intervene when corruption involving the oil industry was revealed. I presided over the highest gasoline prices in U.S. history. I changed the U.S. policy to allow convicted criminals to be awarded government contracts. I appointed more convicted criminals to administration than any President in U.S. history. I created the Ministry of Homeland Security, the largest bureaucracy in the history of the United States government. I've broken more international treaties than any President in U.S. history.
I am the first President in U.S. history to have the United Nations remove the U.S. from the Human Rights Commission. I withdrew the U.S. from the World Court of Law. I refused to allow inspectors access to U.S. "prisoners of war" detainees and thereby have refused to abide by the Geneva Convention. I am the first President in history to refuse United Nations election
inspectors (during the 2002 U.S. election).
I set the record for fewest number of press conferences of any President since the advent of television. I set the all-time record for most days on vacation in any one-year period. After taking off the entire month of August, I presided over the worst security failure in U.S. history.
I garnered the most sympathy for the U.S. after the World Trade Center attacks and less than a year later made the U.S. the most hated country in the world, the largest failure of diplomacy in world history. I have set the all-time record for most people worldwide to simultaneously
protest me in public venues (15 million people), shattering the record for protest against any person in the history of mankind. I am the first President in U.S. history to order an unprovoked,
pre-emptive attack and the military occupation of a sovereign nation. I did so against the will of the United Nations, the majority of U.S. citizens, and the world community. I have cut health care benefits for war veterans and support a cut in duty benefits for active duty troops and their families -- in war time. In my State of the Union Address, I lied about our reasons for attacking
Iraq, then blamed the lies on our British friends.
I am the first President in history to have a majority of Europeans (71%) view my presidency as the biggest threat to world peace and security.
I am supporting development of a nuclear "Tactical Bunker Buster," a WMD.
I have so far failed to fulfill my pledge to bring Osama Bin Laden to justice.

RECORDS AND REFERENCES:
All records of my tenure as governor of Texas are now in my father's library, sealed and unavailable for public view. All records of SEC investigations into my insider trading and my bankrupt companies are sealed in secrecy and unavailable for public view. All records or minutes from meetings that I, or my Vice-President, attended regarding public energy policy are sealed in secrecy and unavailable for public review.

I have to wonder how he was elected in the first place! But then... I'm not so sure he was elected!!!

Answer 2

The movie is considered fiction. It is purely speculative and not official fact. Couldn't one also say that Clinton was "in" with the oil companies? He had a perfect opportunity to dispose of Bin Laden and many of his key planners while he was in office. Experts and informants promised a 120% success, but he turned the chance down. Why?!? Because members of a royal family from Dubai were present at the military training compound and Clinton did not want to jeopardize those relations. Remember, our relationship with Dubai is extremely important to the large oil companies. Any other opportunities for capturing or eliminating Bin Laden during the Clinton administration were squandered during the very costly "Monica" scandal. In a time when timing was everything.apparently self-gratification seemed more necessary than national security. If Bush Sr. and Bush Jr. had served back to back terms, then I guess the movie might hold more water, but the eight year Clinton novel between the book ends debunks the theory quite a bit. Unless...Clinton was in on it too. That seems more likely.

Answer 3

Michael Moore is nothing but a stupid liberal, that is bent on destroying anything he doesn't agree with, as do most of the liberals in this country.
That movie was far from a documentary about 9/11. It was nothing but a way for Michael Moore to try to brain wash the public, and start his own war between the liberals and the sane US citizens.

Answer 4

Because Michael Moore is seen by all Americans as a complete nut. And 99% in the movie were not backed up by facts. So basically it was a fantasy film.

Answer 5

Because people see that the entire movie was severely slanted against the President and was not a fair, balance, unbiased report on him. Also, the Democrats put up someone that did not appeal to the public in large enough percentages.

Answer 6

Farenheit/911 was an infomercial for the NeoLiberals.

Answer 7

simple; the republicans were able to claim that the movie was
simply untrue, and since they had more propaganda time and more channels to use, nobody got to fact check their alleged fact checking. Enough of it is true that it prooves Bush should be impeached. However, enough people managed to stay self deluded...people can lie to themselves well...most of the people that say it was a bad movie haven't even watched it by the way, they just took the word of other republicans.

Answer 8

Because mature American voters know bullshit when they see and hear it. Moore is a spin master same as Gore. You Libs sure pick winners as role models.
Why do you think you are losing elections nationwide? Because you are in the minority, just because you can yell and scream the loudest does not mean there are more of you, just that you have to because there is less people listening!!!!!

Answer 9

Because the Democrats chose to run Kerry instead of Michael Moore.

Answer 10

Once reason is because there are people in this country that will simply not vote for someone unless they have Republican stamped on their forehead. I work with one Republican who will actually have nothing to do with her own blood brother because he's a Democrat...and that is the only reason she will have nothing to do with him. It may just be one example, but that should tell you something of the type of people that vote Republican.

Answer 11

Because intelligent people wouldn't go see Fahrenheit/911 because they knew it wasn't the whole truth. Not only did we not see such a slanted "film" but we voted for him--again.
