If You People Hate Bush, Why Did You Elected Him 2 Times?

Question

wow, its really hard to pick a best answer.
I'll let the voters pick one

Answer 1

They like bush!! dont they??

bush got oil for them

Answer 2

Bush and company manipulated people and their emotions to get them to vote against their own interests. For example, they kept raising the terror threat warning system to scare the voters prior to the election, but have not raised it once since the election. They used "wedge issues" that really have no impact on people, but got their base voters to the polls. Issues like gay marriage and stem cell research as well as abortion. Now that the election is in the rear view mirror, people are seeing Bush for the person he really is. His approval is at an all time low (circa 37%). I am waiting for the press to label him a lame duck as the midterm election is just 99 days away.
And the first time, he wasn't really elected. There is no one that thinks senior citizen Jews in Broward voted for Pat Buchanan. Clearly they voted wrong because they did not understand the ballot. I am not saying it was premeditated bu Bush and company, but it did work out in their favor.

Answer 3

Not elected first time, possibly elected the second.
Deception,
Outing a CIA agent for political advantage
Cover-ups and state secrets
Election fraud in Ohio
Karl Rove and Tom DeLay
Swift boat ad campaigns
Boo -- terrorist threats
The failed experiment that a friendly grab-a-beer-guy could rise to the occasion and govern in spite of his long list of failures.

Answer 4

When he promised tax rebates all the little thinkers thought that was a great idea. Now that gas is over $3.00 what do you think about your tax rebates now. You can't even fill your tank two times with what he gave you.

Besides, who's going to pay back the biggest deficit in US history. If you have any money from your tax rebate, you can make a donation to be put against the trillion dollar deficit. Or maybe just pass the deficit to your grand-children to pay back.

Answer 5

I didn't elect him the first time, and I didn't elect him the second time. Also, now that we're on the subject, Napoleon (Bush) actually stole the election the second time. Boxes and boxes of votes disappeared in his brother's state of Florida. Remember, his brother is the govenor? Yeah. They were later found, before the decision was made, but as the house was mostly republicans, they voted not to count the "missing" boxes of votes.
HE STOLE THE VOTE!!!!!

Answer 6

Not every one voted for Bush and some didn't realize that they didn't like him until after the election. A lot of things have happened this term.

Answer 7

First of all 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

Answer 8

we didn't, he cheated both times onl;y the second time has been alittle harder to prove. I would imagine that a good 80 % of the people in the united states want to kill the president, only problem is he is a dictator, no better than the leaders in the countries we invaded.

Answer 9

Aint nobody voted 4 him he just thugged his way into office he like Suge Bush Just came in there I am the President now

Answer 10

If bush got oil for us, how come gas prices continue to rise? oh and the elections were rigged of course.

Answer 11

The U.S. is a divided country....Bush actually lost the first time, and didn't win by a wide margin the second time.
