First, there are quite a few older adults who do not care for Bush either. However, in answer to your question - younger people live in the present and don't really understand all of the long-term consequences. They see war, they don't like it and therefore don't like Bush. Older adults have seen (and some have lived through) the horrors of terrorism and realize that someone, somewhere, some way MUST stop it or the entire world will suffer terribly.

They haven't lived long enough to realize that he really is the best man for the job at this time. The war scares them and they see it as bad and that War (hate) = Bush (hate). Other people (even some young people) realize that things aren't good all the time and that out of the war will come a better way and they have faith that we will come through the rocky times. Bush sticks to his guns and moral values and that's a good thing (no wishy washy and dishonest stuff like Clinton). Besides, many young people like to be against something just to rebel.

I have a theory, but most people aren't going to like it.
See, back in the sixties, it was the "baby boomers", those born between 1946 and 1953, who protested the Viet Nam war. They didn't know the first thing about politics, or war. All they knew was that people were dying, and it just wasn't groooovy. Plus most of them were high as a kite.
So now those baby boomers are "grown up" and they have kids of their own. Those kids are now the same kind of people that their parents were.
So that's why. These kids don't know anything. I may be the same age as many of them, but my parents were too old to be baby boomers. My parents were born during the Great Depression. Totally different generation.

I'm a college student and I am pro-Bush. I proudly voted for him. Yes there are a lot of students against Bush but thats just cause most of them are uninformed. They hear what their friends, family and media say. Most people that are against Bush are too lazy to do their own research and go on what other people say. It's very sad.

Because most universities employ professors who have a theoretical knowledge as opposed to a practical one who also happen to be, quite honestly, liberally minded.
They get on their university boxtops and preach about things that they've never experienced but only learned from someone else, usually written from text books that they themselves studied, merely parroting what the last guy had to say.
It's really sad that no one does their research anymore. There are so many truths that are drowned out by the louder voice.

This is actually statistically proven, that people with a higher level of education are generally more liberal (open to new ideas, less insular than they were before). Thus more liberal people dislike neo-cons like Bush. I don't know one person at the two colleges I've attended who supported Bush.

well not all of them hate bush (me being a teen and a bush supporter) but the ones who do hate him for simply being the president in a time where very big problems NEED to be taken care of. but taking care of these problems comes at a high price, so they think we should just ignore things not realizing how much worse it would be in the future. Freedom isn't free, if you dont want to fight for it, fine, dont. We have willing men and women who would take it to the grave to fight for what our country stands for. But if you are not going to fight, at least support the troops and not sit there and bash the war. You may think your 'helping' when you say the war is a horrible cause and that the lives we have lost were wasted, but that is an immense insult to the families of those who were lost. They died for their country and to preserve the american lifestyle and liberties, not to be bashed by some punks who think we should selfishly ignore worldly problems and confine to ourselves. Have some respect. Say what you will to that, but i have family in the military and thats what its like my friends.

I have no idea, but I'm 17 and Bush needs to go...now. Who knows how much more damage that man will do in another 2 years?
And don't try to tell me I'm uninformed. I beg to differ. I, like many of my friends, follow politics and am quite informed. Just becasue we are teenagers does NOT mean that all of us are mindless sheep that follow the current trend.

I think it's because this is the first President that they seen in office and what they see doesn't impress them at all . This is their baptism of fire . They are young and haven't seen a corrupt government work before , but we older folk , have seen them come and go over the years and learn that they are all a little more corrupt then others . We kind of roll with the flow and know them for what they are , Democrats and Republicans .

Because Bush is more out of touch with college students than any other demographic
