I mean, these people voted for Bush twice. Getting rid of him will be a monumental achievement, but do you really trust the American public to do the right thing next time? It's not like they're choosing to get rid of Bush. He goes anyway.

I've got real problems with the Peter Pan presidency of Bill Clinton and the frat party that "W" has been holding -- these jerks are the splinters at the bottom of the barrel of the baby boomer generation.
No, I don't trust the American public about this --remember the drive in movie, "Elvis vs the Mummy" that was the '96 race? Or the way "W" bluffed his way into another term on terrorism fear?
Maybe the American public will try something new like Unity08, an electronic third party being set up to keep the hacks from giving us more mediocrity the next time.

Actually, the majority of Americans voted for Gore in 2000. A quirky obsolete process called the Electoral College and an illegal coup by the Republican Party with the help of a Republican led Congress and Judiciary helped Bush steal the Election in 2000.
Bush officially got more popular votes in 2004, but many question even that election as well.

What choice did we have? I didn't vote for him either time. Actually, I was up all night long worrying about which idiot would be president, Gore of Bush and thought..."how did we ever come to this?"
The second time I voted for John Kerry and was disappointed he did not win...but the Bush machine had more money and played dirty...nothing you could pin on Bush himself but just the machine that got him there succeeded in keeping him there by denigrating a Vietnam war hero. Hero or not he went and he fought while Bush went AWOL. Yes he did and got protected for it...a flyer who wouldn't take his medical exam...yeah, right. He should have received a "General" Discharge...a very mentally questionable label as every military man could tell you.
Hey, you have to pay attention early on and everyone has to get out the vote but they don't. Voter turn out has been poor since the early 1970's . I kid you not. There were fewer protesters and more voters then. We got what we deserve...like it or not.

You have to trust them to make their choices based on the information they have available to them. So, there really is need to present a viable alternative to a continuation of the same policies, which cannot easily be dented by preying on people's fears.
The last time people were persuaded by the argument of "at least you know what you are going to get!", which is a weak defense, to say the least. So, the opposing arguments need to be stronger and better. Let's hope complacency does not prevent an overdue change from happening the next time.

Dr Schmitty has a point.
But the voting public is the voting public. The thing to be wary of is the way the votes are counted (or discounted). I tend to believe that Bush is the first president ever to hold office after losing twice.

I do not trust the same voting public/political system that made his opponents Al Gore and John Kerry. If there is no competition what do you expect. Al Gore as president, he has no sack. You guys should have stuck with Dean, I would have voted for him instead of Bush. Kerry is an idiot.

What voting public are you talking about? I do trust those who are citizens and have a legal right to vote. I don't trust those who are here illegal and vote. I do trust those who have a pulse and vote. I don't trust the voting dead. I do trust those who vote because they love America. I don't trust those (like the one who's asked this question) who hate America and vote to destroy it. I do trust those who seek to make this a stronger nation and vote to accomplish that. I don't trust those who want to weaken our country and vote to cripple it. I do trust those who understand what 9-11 was about and why it better to fight terrorist over there then in the streets here. I don't trust those who think 9-11 was a government conspiracy and want to cut and run from fighting terrorist in Iraq. I trust those who fight to protect the lives of the unborn. I don't trust those who use abortion as a political tool without regard to the destruction of innocent life. I do trust those who support the freedom of all religions. I don't trust those who hate and mock Christians and others of faith. I do trust the goodness of America and those who have worked hard to build it. I don't trust those who are evil and work to tear down what our farther have built. I trust Americans because we are the best nation the world has ever known.

all of those people who voted for bush a second time obviously can not be trusted to make rational decisions. they already had the proof from the first time that they made the mistake of voting for him.

Are you particular it wasn't, "4 extra beers"? you recognize the way "rowdy" those "political" supporters can get. LOL!! Did you ever ask your self why they call it the Grand previous "party"? nicely, there you flow. i'm kidding, of route, in spite of the indisputable fact that it would nicely be extra "excellent" than i understand. BTW, it somewhat is why liquor shops and Bars are meant to be "closed" on Election Day.(a minimum of they changed into once. problematic to inform after the first 8 years of Clinton "de-era".)

It's scary to think what will happen next. I hope it's not one of those cases where you think it couldn't possibly get any worse and then they find some other arrogant moron to take over or even worse another member of the Bush family.
