Looking back, do Republicans regret voting for Bush?

Question

Was he really the right guy?

Answer 1

i regret it definitely!

Answer 2

It seems that there are three camps.

One, the intelligent, traditional conservative, who favours small government, small businesses, free markets and free competition on a level playing field, allowing the best to win fair and square, they value truth and honesty, self reliance, and strong moral values.

These people are generally torn, between the strong moral values, on the one hand and the huge and growing debt and enormous no-bid contracts awarded after a lied into and an un-necessary war. They were in favour of the Iraq invasion, given the information they had at the time, but now feel that they have been lied to as no WMD was found and no link with AL Queda either. This camp have lost faith in Bush and feel like the traditional Conservative party has been hijacked by a corrupt bunch of liars.

Another camp is the pro-fascists. Often lower working class or red-neck, intollerant of change and believe that the USA should be a complete fascist dictatorship. without even realising that, that is indeed what they are arguing for. They are convinced that they support freedom and democracy and they would love to see anyone who disagrees shot! "If you disagree with Bush, you should be shot!" type of people, often in-bred and brainless and useless. They still love Bush and the republicans. They are glad that all you have to do to vote is press a button, and that electronic voting means that even if they accidentally press the wrong button, their vote will be awarded to Bush anyway.

Shiraz below is a classic example. Bush and the PATRIOT act has done more to destroy the constitution of The USA than any enemy, foreign or demestic, EVER! Bush actually described the constitution as "a damned peice of paper", and defenders of the constitution can be considered terrorists by the FBI:

Yet he stil lives in a fantasy world where Bush is defending freedom?

The third camp are the religious right, and they don't care, they are just waiting for the rapture, unaware that they actually missed it, only the pure of heart and the good true Christans were called up. It happened almost 2000 years ago and Jesus was the only one recalled to heaven.

They will keep sinning and supporting all the evil and heinous crimes of the Bush cartel for so long as they think it will grant them entry to the kingdom of heaven.

Beyond that are a tiny elite who are profiting from the Bush Crime family, but then, they profited form the Clinton Crime family too, so they don't care who is in power, so long as they hold the nation's purse strings.

Answer 3

How can anyone be still proud?
Its a sad day in America if this (the answers posted here) typify
a support for a pack of lies ...that was and continues to be Iraq.
Have a look at the real Oil-for-Food scandal. Have a look at the first 14 months Americans were in charge of Baghdad, the first 14 months when $8.8 billion of Iraq's wealth went missing on Bushs' watch. Have a look at Halliburton and other American corporations that stole not only Iraq's money, but the money of the American taxpayer.

Have a look at the oil that America didn't even meter, that Americans were shipping out of the country and selling, the proceeds of which went who knows where? Have a look at the $800 million Bush gave to American military commanders to hand out around the country without even counting it or weighing it.
Have a look at the real scandal breaking in the newspapers today, revealed in the earlier testimony before various committees. That the biggest sanctions busters were not Russian politicians or French politicians. The real sanctions busters were our own companies with the connivance of our own Government.

Answer 4

I think that most Republicans regret it, but not all.
Jeb, Barbara, George Senior and most of the Bush and most of the Cheney family don't regret it.

The rest regret it, they are just too proud to admit they were fooled. This is why con artists get away with fraud so often. The victim is afraid they will look foolish.

Answer 5

Republicans no, some moderates maybe. You can not change the past nor the fact that the Democrats gave us a poor option. How different would the world be if Kerry had won? Most likely not much. Just the Republicans would be bitching about the wire tapping in stead of the Democrats

Answer 6

I regret it,in fact I couldn't bring myself to vote for him second time,of course I also couldn't vote for Kerry,too much of a hypocrite for me. But I dislike him not for the reasons many say.I regret voting for him because when the "assault weapons" ban expired he let it pass without a word instead of taking the opportunity to reaffirm the rights of the people laid out in the second ammendment. He refused to close our southern border and demand that people that wish to come to America do it according to our laws,even going so far as trying to find some way to reward people that broke the first law they encountered in the US,like this hare brained guest worker plan.He has failed in so many ways the true spirit of conservatism.

Answer 7

confident! it rather is stressful to renowned having made certainly one of those extensive mistake. the 1st time, I had reason to have faith he could be a stable president. I have not have been given any excuse for making an identical mistake a 2nd time! it rather is time for him to circulate. the faster the extra appropriate, and it heavily isn't quickly sufficient, regrettably! enable's basically wish we decide on somebody who might have the flexibility to regain the honor of no longer purely the yank people, yet additionally that of our (former) allies.

Answer 8

Nope. He's not the greatest president ever, but he was light years better than the eco-Nazi automaton AlGork or the hollow traitor Kerry.

I do not trust the Dems to protect my life, my liberty, my freedom or my property - they defy the very principles this country was founded upon.

Answer 9

Hindsight is 20/20 as they say.

And now that we have hindsight I am glad my vision was as good then as it is now. Gore or Kerry would have bungled this thing up, just like Carter and Clinton messed things up with terrorists years ago.

Answer 10

The republican really regret voting for Bush. They cry all the way to the bank........

Answer 11

I regret it because I like freedom.
