Can Dems. win with Anti-Bush message ??

Question

2004 dems. ran on anti-bush platform and lost by a large margin,can we afford the same outcome

Answer 1

The democrats need to have some new ideas. Bush-bashing and the same old ideas will not work. The majority of this country votes for the people with ideas. When I see that the Republican idea of lowering my taxes resulted in more revenue to the federal government it leads me to think that the democratic idea of raising taxes is not a good idea. Democrats love to raise taxes. When I hear that the democrats want to allow teenagers to get abortions without parental consent or even notification. I get real upset. My child can't go to the doctor and get birth control without my consent. She can't take an aspirin at school without my knowledge and consent. I have vowed to not vote for a democrat that Bush-bashes or does not have new ideas. I will not vote for a Republican that does not have good ideas either. So Dem's listen up. There are voters out here we have been voting Republican because they had ideas. You want us to vote for you come up with some ideas.

Answer 2

First of all, you should not use the name Michael Moore. You are a republican. Don't be pathetic or petty.

Second of all, in 2004 it was an extremely close race. One of the closest races in U.S. history. I don't know where you got your info from. Probably biased conservatives sources...

Third of all, there is a whole lot more to be annoyed with Bush about nowadays. The war, supporting Hastert, new immoral laws that devalue the U.S. Constitution, and all the lies and misleading statements.

Fourth of all, Democrats are already winning by a slight margin for the House and Senate. Whether they can stay ahead or not is the issue at hand.

Answer 3

Bush is an easy target, but remember, it will not be bush running next time....that beign said....and the Dems will have to show me a lot better pick than Kerry to sway my vote....I am a rep and I do not agree with everything that Bush has done but in order to sway me you will have to do better than Kerry....

In order to win, they will have to not only show how bad they feel the Reps have done, but they will have to have an agenda of thier own...and last time the did not...they just said bush is crap and offered no new solutions...

Answer 4

Nope. If you seriously want to get back into the game, you NEED a positive platform and agenda. NOBODY is willing to just vote 'against' someone. Who KNOWS what worse creature could take his place? So far, I haven't seen a decent candidate in at least 20 years. The only exception was a black politician who quit before I had the chance to vote for him.

Answer 5

First; it quite is not correct who gets greater of the standard vote to be the Democrat Nominee...Delegates and super delegates be certain that one. it quite relies quite on the quantity of delegates they gathered in the course of the primaries. apart from, at this ingredient, delegates are divided some bypass to a minimum of one candidate and a few bypass to the different. 2d; whilst the huge election happens, NONE OF this could count, the ELECTORAL VOTE determines the end result. And, sure, undergo in innovations 2000, because of the fact if it have been the standard vote that counted AL GORE could have been THE PRESIDENT FOR THE final 8 YEARS.!!!! all of it landed on what number ELECTORAL votes each state is worth.

Answer 6

Maybe not but man if it does not play this time then we better start a new political party because bush should be one easy target.

Answer 7

of coarse, the reason is that Bush is no longer popular. His popularity rating made 27% at one point.

Many republicans are now boasting that they disagreed with bush on this or that issue.

Answer 8

No.

We're all waiting for the Democrats to say something other than "I'm not Bush."

Answer 9

hell bush is his own anti bush message.

doesn't take anyone to encourage that...

Answer 10

Didn't work the first two times they did it and I seriously doubt if it will work the third time.
