If Bush is such a terrible president, why was he elected a second time?

Question

Opinions only please....

Answer 1

Let's see now....when Clinton was president, terrorists bombed the World Trade Center, killing innocent people, terrorists bombed the U.S.S. Cole, killing innocent people, terrorists bombed the marine barracks at Kobar Towers, killing inocent people, and so on. Do you see a pattern here?

What did Bill (and Hillary, because remember, we got two for the price of one) do about all of these acts of war that resulted in the deaths of our citizens? Oh, you can't remember either? That's because they didn't do anything! Also during Clinton's presidency, the UN was sending that bumbling weapons inspector Hans Blix to ascertain whether or not Saddam Hussein had WMDs but it was such a joke because if Saddam did have any weapons, he had plenty of time to remove or hide them! All the while, Clinton did nothing to ensure our national security and I don't remember any actions against Saddam for defying UN resolutions at that time.

George Bush saw the threat to our national security when those poor souls lost their lives on 9/11. We prevailed in Afghanistan and, based on the information Bush (as well as the Democrats) had, we went to war in Iraq where the citizens of that country risked and some lost their lives to participate in democratic elections for the first time, after the removal of that tyrant Saddam Hussein.

Bush is a visionary. The Democrats have no original ideas so all they can do is attack, oppose and thwart his efforts at every opportunity. I hope one day soon, the people of the world will see that the real threat to our security and peace in the world is not George Bush, but these wacko Islamo-fascists who have no regard whatsoever for humanity and want to impose their religious views on the rest of us through murder and mayhem. Not through civil discourse.

So, why was Bush elected a second time? He took a tough stand against the terrorists because it was in the best interests of the United States regardless of what the rest of the world thought.

Go Troops!

Answer 2

A lot of people were under the influence of stupidity. . .

I didn't vote for him either time. He rode on the backs of the 3000 dead from 9/11 for the second election. That alone should have given people a clue about him. That was the only reason I didn't vote for him the second time around. I didn't even listen to the issues, or the "flip flopping" that JK did. I just gave him my vote because anyone that would use the deaths of so many people to get re elected is a sick b a s t a r d!!!!!!!

That is purely my opinion - which is what was asked for.

Answer 3

Do you want "Opinions only" because the facts are too hard to deal with?

Bush wasn't really elected by majority. The voting games with absentee ballots, voter discouragement and discrimination, and interference, uncounted votes, and the deceptive ballot handling, all add up to enough votes to prove that he didn't win (without even getting to the Ohio electronic machines). Unfortunately, an awful lot of people voted for him anyway, so much so that it wasn't contested soon enough or thoroughly enough to change the outcome.
(and no, I didn't want the Democrats to win, either. I'm just telling you what has been found out)
The choice in the last 6 elections has been between the Corporatists (Republicans and usually the Democrats, too) and the Losers (everyone else, including the public).

Answer 4

In 2000 he was elected by dispute from the state of Florida in which the supreme court by 5-4 vote made Bush president.

In 2004 the dirty tricks of Karl Rove on Swift Boat and use the gay marriage to frighten voters. The issues of voter fraud in some states got Bush reelected in 2004. If the public falls for the same in 2006 we will be in deep trouble.

Answer 5

The first time he cheated to win. This is a proven fact. The second time is because the Democratic reresentative couldnt get as many people behind him because of the giant sums of money that the cons had to get their message out. When it came to debates Kerry out shined Bush 3to1 but no one actually watches those. Also I dont care what people say. The media is controled by the right because they have WAY more money to put ads and get their stories out.

Answer 6

Bush isn't a terrible president. He's a good president who has the unfortunate job of being at Congress' beck and call. The president is nothing but a figurehead.

Answer 7

Because every new President is a "terrible President". Remember how much some people hated Clinton? It's just the way the people of our country are.

Answer 8

Because Democratic picked such a poor candidate to run against him, and he paid third party candidates to twiddle off indepentant voters,

Answer 9

Despite the inevitable screams of a fixed election that I'm sure libs will be posting, the reason is that with the exception of the east and west coast, Americans understand what needs to be done to be safe. When we look back in 20 years, we will look at Bush as a great president, just like we view Reagan now. I just wish he could run again in 2008!

Answer 10

Because Americans are such terrible people. In a democracy, you get the leader you deserve. I forget who said that, but I'm pretty sure he wasn't American.
