why do we keep voting for the same two party system, when it is obvious that it has failed us. It has caused bickering and rivalry between the two sides and we, as a result, are the ones that suffer. I voted, but not for Bush or Kerry.

I am not saying it should be a one party system.That obviously would not work for the betterment of the people. But Bush is not working for the average American. The middle class is shrinking and the rich are all sitting back laughing. Oh and unsersmyboy....... have some respect?? I read one of your previous answers about whether gay marriage will ever be legalised. I believe you gave a very disrespectful answer. So don't preach to me. Has anyone heard Bush talk?? He makes up words!

Dumb would not describe you. Anyone to ask such an assanine question does not deserve the freedoms we enjoy. Ignorance is the enemy not President Bush. You and your kind continually stir a pot of dummies and hope that it will boil over. I just bet you are in line to vote for Billary and probably Monica for "vice" president. That will keep the little threesome going. I fear people like you. The best thing you can do for this country is to leave. Go to North Korea, Iran, Sudan, Cuba, and all of those great countries/systems that are so appealing. Then when you want to come back to the Land of Milk and Honey I will be standing at the door to keep you out.

I love these questions....they draw out either the worst or the best of the people who answer them.
Watch the answers...like the 13 year old that calls him a bastard.
Ask her why she feels that way and she will give you the blank stare and a I dont know..I just do. Or, worse yet, she will drop some bit of total unreality that she heard on some news talk program or from an equally biased parent or friend.
Think about the question.....it can also be written as a statement that "most americans are dumb because they voted for GWB"
I dont know about you....but I would be worried to be in the minority.

Ever think that maybe we have the right to vote for whoever we want and not get crap for it? I bet if Kerry had been elected Republicans wouldn't be whining about it like you stupid liberals. It isn't up to you guys to judge people based on their political decisions. As an American I will use the right to vote for who I want. Stop trying to take away that right. And let me clear up this little misconception...President Bush is NOT stupid. No stupid man could get an Undergrad degree for Yale and a Buisness Degree from Harvard. Do you really think he bought that?? Do you know how many people at Harvard and Yale have fathers in the same position as his? It's quite common. He is a smart man. Maybe you guys should read a book or something.

You go Girl~!
Imagine.......
A big earthquake with the strength of 8.1 on the Richter
scale hits Mexico.
Two million Mexicans have died and over a million are
injured.
The country is totally ruined and the government doesn't
know where to start with asking for help to rebuild.
The rest of the world is in shock.
Canada is sending troopers to help the Mexican army control
the riots.
Saudi Arabia is sending oil.
Other Latin American countries are sending supplies.
The European community (except France) is sending food and
money.
The United States, not be outdone, Bush is sending two million
replacement Mexicans.
God Bless America.

History shows it's not a good idea to change presidents during a time of war. That and Kerry didn't do so hot. If only Dean didn't act like a wild child, then this may not be a problem right now huh? But don't worry, only two more years. Hopefully he can't screw up too much more. I didn't vote for him and I actually voted.

Kerry's voting record left a black mark on his campaign. He voted to go to war with Iraq, but he opposed funding for rebuilding the country. He did the same thing for other bills. You should be able to find who voted for what at http://www.senate.gov/ . Bush wasn't doing better either. His delayed response to 9/11, the PATRIOT Act, and the War on Terror made many either shift to Kerry, Nader, or not vote at all.
Honestly, I can't b**** about who won since I didn't vote. I won't care until November 06 (I was only 17 in 04).

Because the US is full of sheeple. They have been educated by our poor school systems to shut up and obey.
He can argue with his trickle down theory all he wants.... but the rich have gotten richer and the poor ... poorer.
Why do people still support the war when all the reasons why we started the war are false, wrong and there was no reason for starting the war in the first place.
Why can't we as Americans keep our own country from falling apart. Shouldn't we fix our own place before fixing others??

We aren't dumb. Most of us simply disagree with you. Even his opponent, John Kerry, campaigned against W by saying that he would have gone into Iraq, Afghanistan, etc. had he been president. My IQ is over 160 and I'm extraordinarily well educated. I was a left wing socialist in college and later on figured out that all of the left wingers were people who didn't really have a better idea about anything, presumed that they knew more than everyone else, and felt like they had the right to criticize without offering a solution. Worse than that, they were all unhappy people, full of contempt for the people making the hard decisions about how to handle dictators, terrorists, etc. Worse than that, they gave almost no credit to the people who had given their lives protecting their right to be full of liberal ideas.
Lincoln was very unpopular as president. His own cabinet thought him a moron. It is not unusual for a president to be criticized in war time. I think most of us have a hard time believing that the nature of man is as evil as it is. There are terrorists running around right now wou would love to kill you - regardless of your disdain for our president - just because you don't live under their twisted religion.
Just keep an open mind and don't settle for the easy road of holding others in contempt. Do you really think you are so smart and so informed and experienced that you know we who voted for W are really dumb? You are drinking the pablum of politicians who like your closed mind as long as you keep voting for them.

While I didn't vote for King George II, I can say that most of the people I knew who voted for "W", were deceived into believing at least two things:
#1 That "Republican" is synonymous with "Christianity", and
#2 The GOP's goal is for all Americans to be RICH (trickle down economics)!
Neither could be further from the truth.
