Asking a conservative to admit they were wrong is like asking a grumpy, insolent driver spiralling down a cliff if they should've taken a left rather than a far, far, FAR right.......
(same results, BTW)

I voted for Mr. Bush in both elections. In the first I did not like Al Gore, his environmental stances are too radical for me and I did not feel like he offered a positive message. In the second election I voted for Mr. Bush because John Kerry could not convince me that he would properly protect the American people. Statements to the effect that he had a plan, but couldn't tell us what it was unless elected sealed that decision for me. Given the choices in those 2 elections, if faced with the same decision again today I would vote the same way. It is easy to look in hindsight and say the president hasn't done the best job on some issues, but you still have to consider the competition, or lack thereof when considering the historical context of why people voted for Mr. Bush.

Isn't honest and repuglican a oxymoron. All that can be said about Bush is he chose people to effectively run his campaign, think about it, Bush was a draft evader who made a war hero out to be the bad guy, people still believe that rhetoric. Gore would have done the job as well or not better then George Bush, we might not have been in the fix that we are today with Iraq if they would have used their heads instead of their hearts when voting. To me common sense would have dictated a vote for a coke snorting, alcoholic with no morals was wrong. Turns out I was right by voting for Gore.

Yes. I think a lot of people would say no, but at the time, everyone wanted someone to do something about what happened on September 11th. If someone would have taken a vote on how many people in the US wanted to go to war, half of the people that voted yes are the same ones whining now. They wanted it to happen, but now that people are dying, they've changed their minds. But a whole country is uprooted. Besides, the people that voted for Bush did not know his plan for Iraq when they voted for him, so it's not like we voted for his plan. I voted for him because he is against abortion and gay marriages, to be honest. I don't think there is any right way to handle Iraq right now, so voting for anyone else really wouldn't have made much difference.

Yes. I can't imagine what it would have been like after 9/11 if Gore had been President.
Given the choices I had in 2000 and 2004 and knowing there would be things not done as I would have done them I'd still vote for Bush over Gore and Kerry.

I would have voted the same, because I know how those clowns with D's next to their name would have handled things on 9-11 and shudder to think of the possibilities of their ineptitude on national defense, and their penchant for ignoring terrorists.

Yes, the other choice was so bad, I would have voted for Hitler first. Come on, any person would would vote for Gore after reading his book back then should be stuck in a home for the braindead and never allowed to vote again.

Yes.
Reluctantly, but yes.
The Democratic side is no better than the Republican side
The Demo's would, I believe, have made even worse decisions in the long run.
