Because he is 1) a religious man who's not afraid to demolish the wall between church and state and 2) fighting a war against them evil Arabs for good, honest, hard-working Christians everywhere!
Now, before you hit that thumbs-up rating.. catch the sarcasm?

The short answer... because he was the right man at the right time for the job. His job is not a popularity contest. He has made tough decisions. But he has indeed kept our country free of another terrorist attack. And for me that is a deal breaker.Since I am indeed a proud right wing conservative evangelical, I Will speak for myself and not for the others. First of all contrary to popular belief, many of us are highly educated, we are not stupid, and yes we do desire this country to return to moral values. Unless you are an evangelical, your comments are simply not the truth. To those who are so quick to judge us, when was the last time you were in the presence of an evangelical or in church? If you haven't been, then how would you know or not know what an evangelical feels, does, or thinks. I know the media keeps you informed!

Truly,.. because foolish men follow the sensation as a moth to a flame.
Bush plays the part of a Godly man in image just as today's "christians" play good in image. Children of God are in short supply even though there are many who pose as such in the limelight.
To those who answered this in reactionary disgust: War may be needed, but bloodthirst is not - and it IS present.

They'd back any President who they thought would try to move this country toward a Christian theocracy, regardless of his foreign policy, economic policy, or any other policy. As long as a candidate says he's against reproductive choice and equal rights for gays, and is for prayer in schools and The Ten Commandments posted in public buildings, evangelicals will vote for him.
Some of those who support posting the Ten Commandments in public buildings say that they are not religious. But that is not true. The first commandment tells us who God is and what we should do about it. That's religious.
If they want to put up signs in public school classrooms that say "Don't Kill" or "Don't Steal", even "Honor Your Parents", that's fine. Nothing religious about telling kids not to kill or steal. But government has no business telling America's school children who God is, or even whether there is one or not. That is a job for parents and churches, synagogues, mosques, or whatever, not public schools.
Oh, and come on, people! Iraq had nothing, absolutely nothing, to do with 9/11!

Manipulation and a bit of porkbarrelling (essentially bribing). Mind you, they (the White House) also expolited them - the Church of Latter Day Saints (Mormons) were promised more of a say in the running of America but have essentially been used and abused with little commitment given in return from the White House. Isn't it funny that all a Presidential candidate needs to do is 'Praise the Lord' and he - and maybe she - usually wins? There's a thought for you...

OK, one more time, if you took the reasoning that we went to war because of 9/11, then we should have attacked Saudi Arabia, that is where the hijackers came from.

He wasn't going to war until we got attacked.
And then he did what the President should do, he went to the House & Senate and asked for a Declaration of War.
Since it was approved 99 to 1, I guess you would have to say that every other politician, except one, was "quick to go to war" as well.
