What is this thing about Bush?

Question

It seems like even the American's are non pro President Bush,
didn't he get elected like any other president. Isn't it normal to elect the one with the highest score, and therefor he is elected by the majority of the American population. What is the difference from the time he was elected and now?

Answer 1

The 1st election many thought Bush won unfairly by voter irregularities in Florida, where his brother is Governor

Florida refused to count certain votes, and expunged almost 10,000 of them, claiming they had been prisoners, which we later found out was not factual.

After the US Supreme Court intervened (Unprecedented in US politics) Bush won 25 Electoral votes from Florida, which put him 1 electoral vote over the amount needed to win.

Bush LOST the popular vote, or the individual votes nationwide!

So Bush was not elected by the majority of the Americans, and by 1 electoral vote in a controversial election held in the state his brother is the governor!

All of his lies is what happened!! He has gotten over 2,770 military killed in a country that had nothing to do with 9/11 and has spent 1/2 TRILLION there already, He has increased the National debt to over 8.5 TRILLION dollars while giving 2 tax cuts to the wealthiest 1 %. I have plenty more but you mus get the drift!

We were suppose to be going after terrorrist involved in 9/11, not oil! Saddams army were cut and run and we knew it! Bush knew Saddam was no threat so find another argument because Bush has run out of lies!!

Answer 2

He was only "elected" after being complicit in electoral fraud. This has happened in two elections. He should be imprisoned. The other major problem is that in the US generally only half the electorate actually bothers to vote, so they get the government they deserve, which is unfortunate for the rest of us.

The Republicans would have you believe there is no evidence for fraud, of course. I have never been proud to be American because I am not one. I haven't forgotten 9/11 it was a hideous act which affected me deeply especially as some people from my country were also killed. I hate to say it, the US was kind of asking to be attacked after spending 50 years since Korea interfering in the affairs of other countries and killing a lot of innocent people. You can't dine out on 9/11 forever and it didn't give an excuse to invade Iraq. The rest of the world judges you by how you act and you are not actually pulling the wool over anybody's eyes except your own with Fox News and CNN. Propaganda is generally viewed as just that by the outside observer. Poor America you are so hard done by....not!

Answer 3

Nothing has changed, conservatives and other Republican voters are generally a quiet majority. We protest by voting. We don't have a lot of time to scream and shout about this and that, because, well ... we have jobs.

The wackos will tell you Bush masterminded the stealing of TWO elections and then in the same breath tell you he is an idiot.

They will tell you many things that when held up to the light of truth, simply fade away. Then they will resort to the only thing they have left, calling people names and spreading lies.

Many people, including myself, support the President and would vote for him again if it were possible. Which is something else the left needs to figure out really soon. Bush is not running again, the entire left wing's platform is that they are not Bush, the next couple of elections are going to get really ugly for the left if they do not wake up soon.

Answer 4

Bush lied Bush lied whahwhahwhah SHUTUP they have found so much evidence its sick. Lets see after Clinton wiped himself off on the dress he then bombed a ...what was it? OHHH yes a pharacudical company!! He then said what a huge threat Iraq was,then so did his buddy Kerry...oh wait was that before or after? This is so stupid WE WERE ATTACKED Bush is the ONLY one who could have handled that at the time. DO NOT call me any of you liberal names because there is plenty I do Not agree with Bush about. But shut up a new vote is coming. Go watch the video archives of 9/11 take a breath and remember...the skies were silent, you smiled at people you never would have, you went and bought a flag....you were proud to be an American. How dare you all forget that.

Answer 5

The second election he was elected by the majority of the population just like many other presidents.

The first election he was elected by the the majority of the electoral votes.

Clinton never received more than 50% of the popular vote

Answer 6

The majority of Americans now feel that he is not doing a good job. They didn't feel that anyone could do a better job when he was elected last time.

Answer 7

Confidence in leaders everywhere goes up and down. He's in a slump right now. That's normal.

Answer 8

People find it easier to blame their problems on a central figure rather than placing the blame on a wider group known as "government". It's simpler that way because it's one name to remember rather than the long list of Congressmen, judges, and bureaucrats. People have a tendency to forget that we are a full democratic system with an executive, legislative, judicial branch. All the branches of government are responsible in some shape or form for their dislike and not just a central figure. In times of good people remember a single figure like FDR and not the people behind them who were instrumental to their cause, in this case the legislators who passed some of FDR's proposals.

Answer 9

No not all or even most are as anti Bush as the liberal media would have you believe. You don't have to believe all pols they can and usually are manipulated to get the results the pollster wants, Democrat or Republican.

Answer 10

You mean aside from the fact that he is one of the worst presidents since Jimmy Carter?
