Answer 1

BECAUSE CONS ARE A SPECIAL PEOPLE.

They supported bush, but in time, you will come to
realize how he targeted you for deception.

You were specially picked because of the attributes
you possess: fear, ignorance, arrogance, belligerence,
bigotry, and low self-esteem. Bush's political
strategists calculated that the people most easily
misled and controlled are the ones who fit your
profile, so they crafted their propaganda just for
you.

He got your support by making you feel better about
your personal flaws. He told you to wave the flag
because your bigotry is nothing be ashamed of, and to
thump the bible because your ignorance is a virtue.
You should cherish your hatefulness and
small-mindedness as they are family values. You are
not society's rejects, but rather, you are higher on
the ladder than certain other people. Right-wing radio
points them out so that you know who to hate to feel
better about yourself.

He feeds you crap about "imminent threat",
"patriotism", "spreading freedom", and "flowers and
candy". He's only tossing you a bone because he knows
he's going to be asking you for a hefty sacrifice
soon. He repeats meaningless, mind-numbing platitudes
like "Freedom is not free!" and "We're fighting them
there so we don't have to fight them here!" You fell
for it.

By now, it should be apparent that the invasion of
Iraq was a shameless oil grab. We're there because the
rich, powerful, and greedy of this country, people who
you have nothing to do with, want to control that part
of the world's oil resources for decades to come, and
they're using your tax dollars and your children's
blood to do it. Over a hundred thousand people,
American and Iraqi, are dead because of it, and the
depleted uranium left behind will ensure that tens of
thousands more die afterwards. You call that
liberation? Not even that many people died when Saddam
Hussein tried to grab Kuwait's oil fields years ago.

Yes, you are a special people, cons. You do not
possess patriotism, a love of America, or any of those
high-minded ideals as you would like to believe. You
possess the qualities that allowed bush to hijack your
free will to do his bidding. You were used, and he did
it by playing to the personal shortcomings that most
people try to hide. Like Samuel L. Jackson's character
at the end of the movie Unbreakable, you become aware,
only after the fact, of the disgraceful role that you
were destined to play. You will come to realize that
you are history's bad guy. Like the McCarthyites or
the brownshirts, you will serve both as a symbol of
shame and a warning to future generations. You truly
are a special people.GOD HELP US ALL,AND AMERICA.

Answer 2

GWB was re elected legally! He got most votes and won electoral college! Which is how constitution states a President is elected! If as you suggest he is dumb then over half the voting public are even dumber! that isn't so! Heres my advice first off since you clearly haven't based on your question. Read The Constitution! Second if your legal age to vote then vote! That's how you change things! Sitting on a site filled with those who are either too young to vote or don't vote wont change anything! How did Carter get elected he wasn't sharpest tool in shed either! Simple and I already said it! GWB dumb yet he graduated College!? Dumb yest the entire Republican party allowed him to be their candidate for President not once but twice!! Dumb yet elected as Governor of Texas!? No I am sorry he isn't dumb! Your not agreeing with his views or actions doesn't make him dumb! Do I agree with everything GWB has done no I don't but he was legally elected and is not dumb. If we want to go that route then Clinton was a pervert! Why was GWB re elected because he legally won election in accordance with our Constitution!

Answer 3

There's a political adage that states, "If you want a second term, start a war."
In the words of Charles W. Dunn of Regent University, "Americans traditionally reelect wartime presidents, such as during the War of 1812, the Civil War, World War I, and World War II. The "War on Terror" appears as no exception. Fifty-six percent of the public trusted Bush more than Kerry to conduct that war (Time poll 10/25)."

Answer 4

Because of the electoral votes, or it was rigged. I didnt vote for him, in fact, I was so shocked that he won and my heart sank and I thought o god we are going into WWlll. My little girl and I made peace signs and went to the bridge to sit with our peace signs because I was too depressed to sit home and do nothing. When we got to the bridge I found it was full of people with signs of their own in protest. When I turned on the tv to see the inaugeration, I saw Cspan and there were thousands upon thousands of people protesting the inaugeration. I listened to the speakers from every walk of life. There were very few hippies, just the am people.
I think this is the most protested, most hated president EVER!
Everyone in the world hates us now because of our lack of humanity. Dont blame all americans, I didnt vote for him and I know he is a WAR president and does not have the best interests for the people only for his rich friends.

Answer 5

He was the lesser of two evils. The democrats decided to send the candidate that was furthest to the left to run against him. The majority of Americans aren't quite ready for socialism yet so that only left them Bush to choose. Kerry was the worst candidate the dems could have picked, John Edwards would have won easily.

Answer 6

Bush got re-elected because he knows how to sweet talk people. and before he got himself so far in trouble that he couldn't talk his way out of it, he actually made people think he was a good president.

That and the votes in Florida were fixed.

Answer 7

Dont say WE Bush is as good or as bad as any one else hes doing the best a human can in this sick world. mabe if people would get off there *** and do something good for each other we would be in a better way!

Answer 8

Because, I think, there is no qualified person other than Bush. Even Bush is not good and war monger, well, his personality is kinda convincing people. He is confident, and he is firm on his direction. And of course, he give big tax cut.

If Mr. Clinton is the challenger then we might see him instead.

Answer 9

Because he got the Most Votes

Answer 10
