By the way, I am not a Democrat or Republican,
I wasn't pro Kerry either.
2006-12-21 11:00:06 · update #1
I voted for Bush both times, and the main reason I did so was very simple. After 9/11, a state of war existed in our country. A change of government at such a critical time could have been potentially disasterous. We needed to have a strong face on our leadership, and Al Gore just wasn't it. Neither was Kerry for the second time around.
Do I support President Bush in all things? Hell no! I am a registered Republican, and I hold him personally responsible for our loss to the Democrats last November. Firing Rumsfeld was too little - too late. And, Mr. President: FIX OUR BORDER!!! How many illegal aliens coming through our southern border since 9/11 have been terrorists, hmmm?
I'm curious to see if the Democrats make a difference for the good - believe me, I'm watching closely! But. I'll continue to give them the benefit of the doubt unless they prove to be unworthy it. If they do make it better, I'll applaud them until my hands bleed. That's a promise.

Yes, I did, twice and I would do it again. I think it's pretty sad how the media have convinced so many people that he has done nothing but lie, and so many want to believe it just because he is a republican. People can't seem to think for themselves anymore. Pathetic. He won the election, get over it. We have NOT had another attack ON OUR LAND, could we say the same if Gore or Kerry were in office instead? I don't think so. I hope all of you who have forgotten 9/11, and have put your party politics ABOVE all else, keep in mind who YOU are voting in should another attack occur. The democratic party is seen as weak, as a party who believes in TALK not action. This is not the time for that. Besides that, the republicans AND democrats supported the war based on the SAME intelligence that the president did, convenient how some seem to forget that.

I am glad Kerry didn't get in - expecially considering his most recent statements concerning our troops stationed in Iraq. OK, he supposedly was making fun of Bush, but given his own college record - he really isn't one to be talking about the President's intelligence.
I voted for Bush when he ran against Gore, and do not regret that decision one bit. I know politicians are going to lie to you, but I respect the one who's lies are less obvious. Gore did not invent the internet (idea has been around since WWII), he did not fall to sleep to the Union song (written 15 years after he was born), and does not live the way he preaches the rest of us should in respect to the environment.
This last election I couldn't vote for either of the two major candidates. Yup, I went with the Green party. While I agreed, and still do, with the Iraq war, Bush has handled it badly. Kerry on the other hand proved he couldn't be trusted. His flip flopping votes don't tell you where he stands on any of the issues. If the Dem's had put someone worthy of my vote up (Lieberman or Clark would have gotten my vote) - then I would have considered them. Till then, as long as they run people like the Clintons, Gore, Kerry, Cain, etc - the party is nothing but a joke.

McCain is too previous. basically as human beings interior the personal sector attain a level at the same time as they don't seem to be at their superb, so do politicians. seem at Reagan, his alzheimers kicked in at the same time as he replaced into nonetheless president. the seen a president that's that fragile is scary. the 2d reason: Sara Palin replaced right into a foul selection. McCain has a recognition for performing now, wondering later. She replaced into not vetted and if he replaced right into a thorough man or woman, he would have regularly occurring that and under no circumstances picked someone for his or her image extremely of their content cloth. McCain might want to were elected in 2000, yet his personal get at the same time used dirty techniques to get Bush the nomination. McCain is a fine looking soldier, yet he's not an excellent chief.

He received 53% of the popular vote so quite a few people voted for him a matter a fact more than any democrat in the last 60 years.

I voted for Bush and given the bad choices, I would do it again. Personally, I am tired of the Bush's and Clinton's who have ruled for 20 years. If Hillary gets in that will be a 24 or 28 year dynasty. Thats sick! We need a change.

me and i would again today if he ran. sure he's made mistakes but he is a leader who under extreme pressure has stayed the course. and don't give me that bs about illegal wars, yadayadayada....the democrats and republicans supported going to war based on the same intel that he had so they are equally to blame if you think this war is 'illegal'. really the media and those who hate ppl like bush...have battered and attacked him without mercy and merit. he was only in office 8 months when we were attacked and he responded quickly and decisively...and really bin laden and hussein were in on it together...hussein funding and supporting bin laden is called aiding and abetting...too get bush a break he is only human and there is no one who could have done a better job and there are lots of things he has done that are and will benefit this country but we haven't heard one in the media...strange isn't it that all he does is bad and not one good thing? common sense should tell you that just doesn't make sense...the thing is bush has done a lot that will benefit the u.s. in the long run...aids research, environmental funding, tax cuts and getting rid of the world's bullies but we won't see that right now and when it does benefit us then someone else who is in power at the time will take credit for it.

I voted for Bush in the PREVIOUS election, in 2000, and I didn't vote at all in 2004. Nor will I vote in 2008.

I voted for Bush. Not because he's doing a good job, which he isn't, just that Kerry is... IMHO not someone I want as my President.

I did and would do it again...if you study politics and history you would know that he is not even close to being the worse President...he has made some mistakes, every President has...in my life time: Carter: a lot to include the Desert One fiasco and rolling over for Iran...Regan: Iran Contra, but he won the Cold War...Bush Sr: he did not finish the job in Iraq....Clinton: many things, but at least he gave fat, ugly chicks hope...I want a Liberal to name one President who did not make a few bad mistakes...do your research and get back to me....
