Can you say election fraud? Remember the hanging chads, dimpled chads, miscounted votes, the recount, the fact that Bush tried to make challenging a Federal Election illegal later during his first term, the change to a "New Voting Machine" which can be changed over a wireless system if the vote doesn't "go the right way"? Most of the United States population hates Bush, and there are protests almost daily which never are seen on the news, or papers, nor heard on the radio, because these media giants are now owned by the republican party, or their constituents, corporate giants who measure their profits under Bush in the tens of billions. He, and his party have lied to get where they are today, and think they are above the law. Remember the Enron debacle, where one of our high ups made a fortune selling his stock in Enron, when other investors were not allowed to sell off their stock? Remember him claiming "Executive Privilege" when refusing to answer questions about a phone call he received just before Enron went belly up, giving him time to sell off his stock, so he didn't loose any money on it? Maybe that's why Him, and his administration are hated. Ever think of that?

Well if I remember right the first time he got elected he was put into office by the Supreme Court, even though the popular vote has shown otherwise. The second time he was elected the Republicans were so afraid that their boy would be unseated that they went out in larger numbers than were expected and re-elected the guy. Most of the people griping did vote against him in both elections, over 50% of the population didn't vote for the guy, neither time did he get 50% of the popular vote. As for why people don't like him, its his administration's policies and his attitude about what the nation is which only represents only those people who would vote for him and completely ignores and disrespects the opinion of the other 60+% of the nation who either didn't vote or voted for somebody else.

You will find that a lot of the people who complain about the person in office didn't bother to vote at all.
To those people I say shut up, you couldn't get off you butt long enough to voice your own opinion then, you don't deserve a opinion now.
To those people who voted for the other guy I say, complain away. I may not always agree with you, just as I may not always agree with President Bush, but atleast you tried to make a change the way you thought best.

The people who don't vote are lazy, oafs who think they have the right to complain because they did not elect the people in office - so they are not to blame. However, they don't realize that had they voted, a different President may be in office. It was a close election, but Bush stole it in 2000 when the US Supreme Court gave the election to him. In 2004, America was scared in to keeping things as they were while Bush fought the war on terror - and Kerry ran a poor campaign.

WELL, HE WASN'T ELECTED OFFICIALLY, BUT INSTALLED BY THE COURTS THAT HE NOW WANTS TO "SILENCE." LoL.

And people have a "constitutional" right to complain, *****, moan, and protest in groups if they want to! It doesn't matter if they voted or not, ready the constitution, ITS NOT THAT BIG.

Why do we hate Bush? Well, he "took" over the White House without winning, he kisses the christian rights *ss, and has a constant smirk. He talks about reporters and other world leaders and gets caught with an open mike and never apologizes. He called one reporter "a true blue *sshole" and the leader of the "u.n. needed to do start doing his job, yadda yadda yadda" yet everyone like you thinks he's like God's best friend, what a joke. God doesn't like people who are arrogant.

Because they are frustrated by the voting process. They feel that even if they do vote that their voice is not heard. Also, many people (myself included, though, I do vote) feel that they have to choose between the lesser of two evils. So, whne it comes down to that, not many people feel the urge to vote since the one's running don't realy fit their vision of an ideal president. I believe that apathy changes nothing, and yet, i have felt every one of the above scenarios at one time or another.

Because Bush is the start of the downfall of yet another world power, and the people who don't vote have more of a right to complain than the people who voted for him. And he didn't win he stole it.

vote casting is significant yet at this election, for the 1st time, there is not any one that i might have any self assurance in so do I smash a pollpaper or not vote? i could not legitimately yet a pass next to any call on the pollsheet. I do have faith that if vote casting grew to become into made obligatory or perhaps despite if it particularly is not, we'd desire to continuously have a 'not one of the above' container.

I have no idea how he was elected. I voted against him. However, his approval rating was much higher in 04 due to PR attempts to improve his image. Advertising is very effective and now many people regret voting for Bush.

The people don't elect the President. The Electoral College does, and we have very little influence on the Electoral College.
I voted, so I'll complain about the twit if I want to.
We don't like him because he's full of crap.
