Some still feel proud; they're the true believers that will believe anything Bush or his surrogates say. They have faith; he's almost a minor god to them.

I am going way out on a very small limb here. Yes they are proud, and also yes they would vote for GW Bush again if they could.
They would also vote for Foley again if he told them they would get another tax cut as Bush did. BTW, Bush lied, they did not get a tax cut. Taxes have went up under Bush.
BTW, Bush was not elected. He was appointed by the bias Supreme Court, In Ohio there were 357,000 votes were thrown out by Republican operatives, the Bush margin was only 118,601 when the contested votes were stopped from being all counted.
BTW, In California today Bush played for another paid crowd. He has a 27 percent approval by voters. 62 percent disapprove of Bush job performance. The Iraq war is costing working class tax payers over $8 billion per month. Iraq now is in civil war. We have 2729 dead Brave Americans and over 30,000 wounded. Total cost to tax pyers over 10 years will be $2 trillion. The national debt over 10 years will add up to $9 trillion. Republicans never pay for their own mistakes, they will pass that cost to working class tax payers. That is facts.

please explain. You give no facts or reasoning behind your question.
The man lowered taxes for everyone, not just the rich. This helped pull us out of the recession that began after the dot com bubble burst (feel free to check on how much money was lost and when it happened. Dubya didn't take over until January 2001, that happened late '99 early '00)
The lowering of the taxes gives liberals the vapors because it only went to the rich. Well no it did not. But for liberals to say that the richest 1% were able to buy a luxury car with their tax cut while lower earners got little in comparison is dishonest. If someone made 1mill last year and I made 40k, the person making 1 mill payed in a lot more in taxes and therefore should get a higher amount back. What liberals wanted (and still do) is a re-distribution of wealth on a scale that would horrify Marx. In their ideal, Utopian, world we would give the one making 40k (which is the boat I'm in) the money taken from Mr. 1 mill. Communism.
The tax cut did lead to a deficit (have you been reading about how the government has been setting records on total tax dollars collected and has had to greatly reduce deficit forecasts. Pretty good considering taxes were cut. Kinda lends credence to the republican philosophy that if you reduce tax rates you will increase economic output). A rather large deficit. The money payed in recovery for NYC and to bail out the airlines post 9/11 kinda added to that. Remember all that? Then we had to go into Afghanistan to engage the Taliban. Remember that? We are still there and that cost us a chunk of that total deficit.
Then Iraq, which is what I assume you were talking about.
What upsets me the most is that 60% of the people were for the war in the beginning and now it hovers between 35-45% (mainly on the lower end). You cannot give this government the political capitol to wage this war, which cost thousands of lives and then say "Oh no that's too much". What did those people think leading up to the conflict when the drums of war were sounding. We are in this fight whether you like it or not. This country allowed this war to happen and portions are bringing shame to it by saying go to war and now saying leave. THESE ARE THE SAME PEOPLE THAT ALLOWED US TO GO TO WAR. Do you seriously believe that if only 35% of the people were for the invasion of Iraq, we would have gone? No! They lack the courage to follow through on their words.
So in closing,
1. unemployment at 4.7%.......at, near, or slightly better than when Clinton left office.
2. tax burdens reduced for millions of americans while total tax dollars collected have never been higher.
3. This nation has not experienced another attack since 9/11 ( we will, but we must be doing something right)
4. The difference in Iraq now and Iraq 6 years ago is that thousands of innocents are dying now as they did then. But now, they are being killed by terrorists who are being confronted byU.S. and Iraqi military. Before, thousands were dying, but were not being reported on. They were not being mourned by bleeding hearts. They were being rapped and murdered by the thousands for the personal pleasure of Saddam. They are still dying, but now it is for their freedom. And while I wished more of them would step up, I can understand that they have never truly experienced what is coming. Not democracy but something I think our founders were actually fighting for, free will.
Thanks

Proud? I also voted for Clinton, so I think my voting for Bush canceled out all the damage done by Clintler.
I am proud to vote for any one. Think of all the billions of people-women in particular-who live in places where "vote" is not even part of the vocabulary. I voted republican and I will do it again, and you can't stop me.
Jeez-it's been six years already! When will these sore losers just get over it?

I don't think only Republicans voted for Bush and I feel Bush was the lesser of two evils. The U.S. will never be okay for hundreds of years? Doubt it. He has done nothing to ruin this country. Why is everyone becoming anti-american?

Yes, I am proud I voted for President Bush. I am glad that he will do what it takes to protect my family even if what he does gives liberals the fodder they live off of. We need a real man in that office not people who concern themselves so much with hatred that they sound just like the terrorist.

I am registered as a republican and did not vote for Georgie boy. I am only registered so I can vote in primaries. I do not call myself a republican or a democrat. I like to vote for the person I think can do the job . Unfortunately I have not seen a person like that run for the job in a very very long time.
