Why did America re-elect Bush?

Answer 1

Because we refuse to elect any guy who gets regulary scheduled manicures and pedicures... yes, I'm talking about girls like Kerry and Edwards.

Answer 2

America didn't.

Blackwell, secretary of state of the state of Ohio with supreme oversight of the Ohio elections of 2004(that is pretty much the only duty of the office), "elected" him.

There were so many disenfranchised lower income voters(eg. "Oh, I'm sorry - we can't accept you registration because this paper weighs 2 hundredths of an ounce too little...Bummer better luck next time...") and voting irregularities in this election(after polling does not match the results. Later statistics confirm that the after polling shoould have been accurate even after corrections for people who didn't want to discuss their votes), coupled with an election day hour long secret meeting in person with President Bush(a known matter of record), that it seems hard to fathom that this election wasn't stolen.

Did I mention that the primary duty of the secretary of state of Ohio is to ensure a trustworthy election? Primary duty - and he still monumentally flubbed it up! And now he want to be the governor!!

November elections can't come soon enough. Ohio has had enough of Blackwell and his shenanigans...

Answer 3

We know a small percentage of the population votes for the incumbent, regardless of politcal party or any other factor ... something like 10% I think. If Bush wasn't the incumbent, he would have lost in 2004.

So, basically he wasn't "re-elected" ... his term just carried over by default in a way.

Even with the incumbency and rallying cries by the "religious right" to ban homosexual unions on his side, he only won by a margin of about 100,000 Ohio votes ... Bush could well be the least popular man ever to win a presidential election.

He'll certainly be remembered as one of our worst presidents.

Answer 4

I live in Massachusetts and Kerry is my senator. That's why I didn't vote for him.
If the Dem's would of offered up someone different, perhaps someone who wasn't in the senate forever, doing nothing., with a billionaire wife who paid very little in taxes, who is a notoriously bad tipper, never had an idea that Kennedy didn't have first, who did even slightly worse in school than Bush, who parents were told while he was in secondary school that his ego was way too huge, he talks a good game but there nothing behind the mask. Maybe things could of been different. But maybe they wouldn't be. No one knows. What's done is done.

Answer 5

He wasn't re-elected because he never was elected the first time - he was appointed. But, he was elected because he found out that there were over 49-million stupid people in this country and bamboozled them into voting for him. And now, they're paying the price and I hope they're happy in their Bush-created misery. They're getting just what they deserve.

Answer 6

Because most Americans are too idiotic to see through his lies and all of the damage he's done to the country because of his incompetence as a president and a decent human being. Also, all the disgustingly religious people support him because he is suppossedly so godly, and sadly they make up a lot of america also.

Answer 7

Because the R's used the word "terrorist" 60 billion times during the campaign and scared enough people into voting for Bush.

Answer 8

America reelected Bush because he brought us through 9/11 and America didn't want a new president to take charge. The wanted someone who they knew already and wanted consistency.

Answer 9

I am a retired military (ok enlisted---(means we work for a living)) guy. If I have ever seen diplomacy screwed blued and tatooed, that guy did it. Is "we made a mistake" an acceptable answer?

Answer 10

That's what the public chose. Accept it and get over it. There's another election coming up in a couple years.
