I have to agree that a vote for Kerry was scary thing to me. The man did not make me feel safe at all. As for Mr. Bush while I don't like many of his policies I do believe he is a sincere man. In short I do believe that he believes in what he says. I also believe that Mr Bush believes in America and the safety of the people. While I know many people do not agree with this, you asked for my opinion, and of course they are welcome to give theirs.
I will tell you this I would vote for Mr. Bush again could he run for a third term, the reason this time is because while I agree with the right of people to disagree with people and policies they don't like, the level of disrespect we have reached in this country is appalling. Too many people aren't content to say I don't like him, and express an intelligent argument as to why, instead they result to the lowest common denominator slander and name calling. I have seen the President referred to as everything from chimp to terrorist. So frankly it would be a pleasure for me to see these people in as much mental discomfort as possible because they offend me that much. For those who don't like Mr. Bush but do not fit this mold please do not think I am directing this at you, I support your right to express opinions on anything you wish, I just don't like rude people.
Jared H: I completely agree with about reforms needed. I wish everyone on both sides could actually see this simple truth.

Because, I wasn't duped by an idiotic anti american movie like farenhype 911.
Bush for what it's worth has alot more character. he is a leader who has taken the bull by the horns. Has lead this country for better or worse. He has made his decisions and stood by them even if they may not have been the Best ones he made decisions based on the best evidence at the time. History will prove this right. Right now it is status quo to bash bush. so yuk it up.
sKerry or Gore would never have made any decision at all or at least have stuck there head in the sand then stuck there finger in the air, to see where the wind was blowing, then stuck a finger up his butt so the smell after he pulled it out could cover his tracks as he back peddaled away from the issue. A lot like Clinton did in his whole tenure.
The real question is how many people are going to vote for sKerry in 08'. I'll make my prediction now that he will not even make it past the primary.
With all the Media that is against Bush it's truly amazing that he won. Shows how the sKerry supporters are really sheeple.

Since having had Geo. W. Bush for a President, I guess most republican voters would answer in a variety of ways. IE, I liked what it seemed his mother stood for. (She seemed so sweet and kind, a cookie jar sort of person.), I liked the strength and resolution of **** Cheney, I liked the sound of what it seemed was his good relationship with Mexico-Fox. My Grandparents always voted Republican, that is except one-he voted Democrat., But he always allowed his wife to go and cast her vote, knowing that she would nullify his vote. He was a WW#1 veteran and very proud of it. And maybe the most vital reason for voting for Bush was that the Democrats were offering such lousy choices and it just got worse, as the campaign ran on. And it they try to run Hillary C.as a candidate in the next Pres. election, the democrats might just as well as forget it. Totally bad choice, But the republicans need to get their act together and I think ,at this point, Giuliani would be a good choice, but I would have sympathy for him , if he did win. However he is the only party leader with Presidential qualities, for my money.

The ones that will have an honest discussion with me about it don't look at it as a vote for Bush. They look at it as a vote against John Kerry. I can repect that, but I think we really need to do away with these 2 political superparties that are supposed to represent every viewpoint among 300 million people. We need voting reform, tax reform, and lobbying reform before we can get an honest disscusion about anything other than gay marriage, flag burning, and stem cell research.

First of all he was fantastic in my state as Governor , and i liked his stance on being pro-gun , anti-abortion and i felt that i could sleep at night knowing he was in office rather than anyone else , that's why i voted to elect him in 2000 and i voted to re-elect him in '04 and id vote for him again today , i think he did an outstanding job after 9-11 and he's doing an outstanding job today , at times Ive questioned my vote but then all i had to do is picture what kind of shape we would be in with Gore or Kerry in office and honestly it scares the **** out of me , i know alot of people wont agree with what Ive said and that's fine , I'm not here to argue , just saying how i feel . God Bless you all , God Bless George Walker Bush , and God Bless America

There are no good qualities in Mr. Bush to talk about. But I can make a pretty big list of bad qualities about him

My vote for Bush was really a vote against Kerry. I would've voted for nearly anyone running against Kerry.

Rosie, why would you put "Christian" in there. First amendment grants every U.S. citizen freedom of religion. On the basis of that, why run a country being partial to and in favor of your religion? I'm not saying that being religious is wrong, you just shouldn't try and run a country based upon you're religious beliefs!

He is doing an extremely difficult job... and I'm certain he is trying to do what is best for this country... he lives here too!
I am glad I don't have the stress & responsibility he has, but I stand behind our President. I think he has overall made good decisions. Some better than others... but Pres. Bush has definitely accomplished a lot. There have been many positive results from his efforts, despite the devistating situations he has had to deal with.
Not everyone likes the President, but they should consider it could be much worse. They could live in a country where the leaders use their own people as guinea pigs to test chemical weapons on them.
Here is a little food for thought --
Some claim that President Bush shouldn't
have started this war; consider the following:
1. FDR led us into World War II.
Germany never attacked us; Japan did.
From 1941-1945, 450,000 lives were lost ...
an average of 112,500 per year.
2. Truman finished that war and started one in Korea.
North Korea never attacked us .
From 1950-1953, 55,000 lives were lost ...
an average of 18,334 per year.
3. John F. Kennedy started the Vietnam conflict in 1962.
Vietnam never attacked us.
4. Johnson turned Vietnam into a quagmire
From 1965-1975, 58,000 lives were lost ...
an average of 5,800 per year.
5. Clinton went to war in Bosnia without UN or French consent.
Bosnia never attacked us.
Clinton was offered Osama bin Laden's head on a platter three
times by Sudan and did nothing. Osama has attacked us on
multiple occasions.
*** In the years since terrorists attacked us , President Bush has liberated two countries, crushed the Taliban, crippled al-Qaida, put nuclear inspectors in Libya, Iran, and North Korea without firing a shot, and captured a terrorist who slaughtered 300,000 of his own people. ***
People are complaining about how long the war is taking...
but it took less time to take Iraq than it took Janet Reno to take the Branch Davidian compound... that was a 51-day operation.
We've been looking for evidence for chemical weapons in Iraq for less time than it took Hillary Clinton to find the Rose Law Firm billing records.
It took less time for the 3rd Infantry Division and our Marines to destroy the Medina Republican Guard than it took Ted Kennedy to call the police after his Oldsmobile sank at Chappaquiddick.
It took less time to take Iraq than it took to count the votes in Florida!
*** Pres. Bush has pledged $15 billion to fight the AIDS pandemic in Africa. Last year the US gave $114 million to Ethiopia alone. ***
Both artists, Bono and Bob Geldof have praised Pres. Bush for his efforts and support in Africa.
ABC News reported Bono as saying, "Well, I think the message is right on target, and the president deserves a great deal of credit there."
A Washington Times article read, Mr. Bush recently pushed a $15 billion AIDS bill through Congress.
"His $15 billion commitment is unparalleled," said Melvin Foote, executive director of the nonpartisan Constituency for Africa. "Clinton offered $300 million, parking-meter money, even though he knew it was a tremendous challenge."
Even liberals have credited Mr. Bush with doing more than his predecessor to help Africa. In May, Live Aid founder Bob Geldof said Mr. Bush is far more committed than Mr. Clinton to fighting AIDS and famine on the continent.
"Clinton talked the talk and did diddly squat, whereas Bush doesn't talk but does deliver," said Mr. Geldof, an Irish musician and activist who in 1985 staged the world's largest rock concert to combat starvation in Africa.
"You'll think I'm off my trolley when I say this, but the Bush administration is the most radical, in a positive sense, in the approach to Africa since Kennedy," he said.
In February actor Richard Gere lashed out against Mr. Clinton's record during an AIDS benefit attended by Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, New York Democrat.
"Senator Clinton, I'm sorry, your husband did nothing for AIDS for eight years," Mr. Gere said from the podium.
