And "Dani California" I wasn't judging you. It was question, chill.

Answer 1

Well I didn't vote for him, but I think the people that did didn't have enough information to make a good judgement. Most people are very close minded individuals that go with the flow and don't really care about choosing the right candidate. The good thing is that after his term, he will never be able to run again. Now I'm just crossing my fingers and hoping Jeb doesn't get any ideas.

Answer 2

People were scared !!!

“Naturally the common people don't want war; neither in Russia, nor in England, nor in America, nor in Germany. That is understood. But after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.”
Hermann Göring(Nazi) 1946 Nuremberg Trials

"We are on the verge of a global transformation. All we need is the right major crisis and the nations will accept the New World Order."
David Rockefeller: Statement to the United Nations Business Council in September 1994

"For more than a century, ideological extremists at either end of the political spectrum have seized upon well-publicized incidents to attack the Rockefeller family for the inordinate influence they claim we wield over American political and economic institutions. Some even believe we are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as 'internationalists' and of conspiring with other around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure - one world, if you will. If that is the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it." David Rockefellers memoirs (2002)

Answer 3

People voted for Bush because:

1. They're stupid

2. They're a lifelong Republican and would vote for the devil if he ran (he did)

3. They're right-wing Christian conservatives who let their ministers dictate to them who to vote for.

4. See 3....And because Bush is one of them, surely a god-fearing Bible-totin' good old boy like Bush would lead us all to the promised land. Instead he's leading us down the road to hell.

5. They thought he was cute (I actually heard some people say this - that's scary!!!) Not meaning to insult any chimpanzees, but he looks more like a chimp.

6. They like $3 a gallon gas, war, a dirty environment, a record budget deficit and being lied to.

7. They're the Big Oil barons and he's one of their boys.

8. They're rednecks and like the idea of having Dubya-Bob in the White House and now they're wondering why they can't park their trailers on the lawn. He let them down.

9. They're cokeheads and alcoholics like he is and felt the world would be better off with one of their own in charge.

10. They liked the way he mangled the English language.

11. They thought he'd be more entertaining than a night down at the bowling alley or at the NASCAR races.

12. They felt he was an inspiration to all the other people in the country who are mentally challenged.

13. They're inspired by the site of a leader who spends most of his time on vacation cuttin' brush at his Crawford ranch.

Answer 4

I didn't, but the people who I know that did fall into two categories: 1. A lot of them deeply regret it now and admit that they made a huge mistake, or 2. They will stubbornly support him to the end of time, regardless of his incompetence and blunders. They will resort to illogical fallacies, and even personal attacks such as name calling, because they support a guy that is one of the worst president's in United States history. PS I also have friends that voted for Ralph Nader in the 2000 elections. They were really despondent and regretful, when they realized that they not only threw away their vote, but that Gore would have won if not for the Nader votes in Florida.

Answer 5

25 years from now when all the classified documents are unsealed we will find out who really voted for who.

I was more amazed at how James Baker got in to a open hearing at the Supreme Court. Than who got in the White House.

People wait for years and years to get their case heard. But Baker had his brief already prepared.

That is way more suspicious to me.

Answer 6

The Democratic National Convention failed to provide a platform nor any plans to change anything. Simply being "for" something is not good enough. Being "for the poor" is an answer I expect from a Miss America NOT a presidential candidate. In addition, John Kerry was a horrible choice, many moderates were and are still convinced the man fails to act on anything. We still do not know where the party stands on immigration, the war in Iraq, education, health care etc.....
If the DNC does not create plans that I can view and judge as good or bad I must assume they stand for inaction, and I, for one, am sick of our government sitting in their on their big butts in their big chairs in their big houses looking down on us peons working our asses off while they do nothing but spew warm air on us.

Answer 7

Because Karl Rove and the neoconservatives used the flag waving and bible thumping strategy when putting Dubya forward as their figurehead. It was their way of hiding their intentions for corporate welfare, enriching the rich, and empire building. Rather than research history and rhetoric for themselves, too many people fall for the fake morality and phony patriotism. And others are willing to overlook corruption and cronyism for a couple of hot button issues like abortion and gay marriage.

Answer 8

its a conspirace this voting thing cuz the goverment picks the next president there all related some how to each other watch when the next election come jeb bush will be on the chopping block for the president and will win watch

Answer 9

I didn't vote those years. But my guess is because Kerry whole platform was I'm not Bush. And Kerry didn't have any plans at all, he just tried play to each crowd and tell everyone what they wanted to hear. I don't remember to much about the race against Al Gore except he that he kept demanding a recount.

Answer 10

I don't think I voted for Bush, but if I my vote wasn't counted it was because of those confusing voting ballots... I was a little confused and maybe that's why people voted for Bush because they really didn't know the FACTS
