Who said Bush was elected. Bush stole the election twice using lies, his father's friends' cunningness and the help of the Supreme Court.

The "American" people voted for "Bush" because they were afraid of Kerry. The American people cannot afford to have a pacifist traitor like Kerry in the White House and they know it, ( at least the majority do, those that voted for Kerry unlike their candidate refuse to admit defeat. But that is the American way, never give up.). If President Bush had not been re-elected, we would all be running from some radical Islamic cleric and his followers, trying to keep our heads attached to our bodies in our own country. President Bush does not put up with any crap, if the folks in the middle east don't like my president or what he is doing they should take care of their own trash. Think about it, if a neighbors dog comes into your yard craps, and then bites you what would you do? We put up with the crapping, but when the dog starts biting we go after the owner.

as I understand it, the election was so close-fought that it all hinged on the result in Florida. Bush managed to rig the election there, partly by banning many black people (who would have voted Democrat) from voting. The American media (owned by republicans) would not cover the story so the Americans to this day don't know much about how this audacious scam was pulled off.
Effectively, then, the Americans didn't elect Bush.

Yes-but our system is very different to the American system-we vote for individual members of a party based on the region we live in, not the party as a whole-therefore whilst you might not like Blair, if you like what Labour are doing in your constituency, and you vote for them, that is essentially a vote for Blair, as Labour leader. The party that wins the most constituencies wins the whole country basically. The Americans just vote for each party against each other, and not all states (constituencies) are equal in the Senate-don't California have something like 51 seats, whilst Ohio have just the ten?
And, of course, there are a lot of scary fundamentalist Americans out there who are as equally-narrowminded as the fundamentalist Muslims everyone perceives to be their enemy. A couple of them seem to have answered this question!
I've no idea whether Bush genuinely is good on domestic policies-but American foreign policy (wars aside) doesn't seem to be that much different than under Clinton to me.

They probably didn't. Anyone remember the voting machines in Ohio (a swing state)? They were delivered to the polling stations with literally thousands of votes already logged for Bush. Oh, and the company that made the voting terminals donated to the GOP? Go figure.

Because they were so angry at the Democrats and Clinton that the only one left to chose was Bush. Better the devil you know than one you don't. I don't understand why either, the people seem to like to stick with one party for a while then go back to another. No real brilliant people on the other side to vote for.

They didn't elect him 'again' - as he actually lost the first Presidential election he stood in and only gained office due to some VERY sharp practice by Jeb er... Bosh.

I have never met PRESIDENT Bush, so I can't say whether I like him or not. I'm not intellectually challenged or DEFICIENT and actually, I'm not even a Republican.However, I don't think many people could have led our country better the last six years, except maybe me, lol. J/K. I do wish we could raise FDR from the dead though, he would have been awesome right about now! And, oh yeah, he was a Democrat, not that it matters...
So here's why I approve of PRESIDENT Bush as President:
He hasn't defended himself on Hurricane Katrina. Everyone wants to blame him, but really, Louisiana is NOT the only state that was heavily damaged by the hurricane. What about Mississippi? Oh, that's right, their STATE government took care of them...and they asked for federal aid immediately. In New Orleans, it was announced by the mayor, the senator, and the governor that they did not need federal aid the day after the hurricane. Yet after all hell broke loose, the National Guard was sent in...and quickly.
The wire-tapping was a great idea. Too bad the media got ahold of it. Why was it a great idea? Because it allowed the government to listen in on calls placed from known Al Qaida operatives to the US. They were NOT listening in on Joe Schmoe telling his best friend how much p***y he got the other night, or Jane Doe telling her sister how much pot she smoked. So, nice job media, ruining that one.
The so-called "leak", which was in fact the disclosure of DECLASSIFIED information. The CIA agent that was "outed" hadn't been a covert agent for over five years. Yet President Bush isn't defending himself on that either.
He's been accused of "lying" about the WMD's, and yet hasn't defended himself. I really wish people would get over that one, because no matter how many times they're told that the Democrats "lied", and the soldiers over there (and who were there in the last three years) that have found evidence that there HAD been WMD's also "lied"...they won't listen.
I could say much more on how he's NOT a bad president, but I'm not going to waste my time. If some of these people REALLY wanted to know, they would watch FahrenHYPE 9/11 (which disproves much of Michael Moore's lovely
"documentary"), stop watching Loose Change, and maybe take a look at truthorfiction.com, snopes.com, popularmechanics.com (and search for the story about debunking the 9/11 conspiracy myths), or www.strategypage.com (and search for the story on the War in Iraq).
Here's what I like about President Bush:
He's true to his word, especially away from the cameras. I've heard many stories about how he shows his respect for our Armed Forces members, has taken the time to pray with someone just because they asked him, given hugs and comfort to those who have lost loved ones in 9/11 and the War...
Overall, he shows his integrity in private. That's what matters most to me. I couldn't care less about how well he speaks (or doesn't, as we all know is true), because that's his public face.
I like the fact that he illegalized partial-birth abortion within his first few months in office, yet has left abortion alone other than that, even though he feels it's wrong.
I love the fact that he doesn't listen to the war protesters, and instead listens to the soldiers on the ground. Most of them say we CAN'T pull out...and we'd better not. Also, many of them have said that even though they were injured, they would go again and again. I saw that on, if I remember correctly, CBS news, which, as most conservatives know, leans to the left. I've also talked to many soldiers myself, and most of them have told me the same thing.
Most people that have met him say he's not the "bumbling idiot" many think he is. He's actually very poised, respectful, and most of all, he demands respect without saying a word. I've known people that met the President, one of which didn't like him at all until they met him, and voted for him in 2004 based on their impressions.
This is a man that despite the opposition, has offered very little criticism. Sure, he said to the UN, "If you're not with us, you're against us." He was right at the time, and now...they're with us. Even the UN has admitted that we're doing a fine job in Iraq, and that the country's come along infinitely quicker than they initially thought. More countries are volunteering to help us, too.
I would put more reasons, but I figure it's a waste of time. I'm not going to convince anyone that I'm right, and anyone that already has an opinion isn't open to anything else.
I'll just put it this way: I've heard all the reasons that people hate President Bush, and not one of them is valid. Not one of them holds any weight, or contains logic. And believe me when I say that I WANT to hear a real reason to hate the guy, just so I don't have to face the fact that most of my friends are wrong.

He was re-elected simply because the alternative was John Kerry. Its quite simple. Kerry was the worst of the two options in the minds of more Americans.

I'm British and I don't understand how Bush got in again but it was close between the two men. In Britain we have got Tony Blair for another term and yet I haven't met a single person who has voted for him. But then apparently our system is biased in favour of the government already in power.

WE elected him because we have faith in him that he will no longer put up with the BS from anyone. We trust him to have America's interest first and foremost. He doesn't play the stupid games of terrorists. He doesn't have time. He is running the most powerful nation in the world, and don't have time for terrorist nations. In other words, he is nobodies puppet. He is reflecting most of America.
