Do you think they are happy with the way he manages that country?

And I think you guys vote for the less worse what do u think?

Answer 1

"Why do you think people from de US re-elected George Bush?"

The politics of fear and the religious right.

"Do you think they are happy with the way he manages that country?"

War, huge deficit, New Orleans debacle, the illegal immigration fiasco, 9/11... how could anyone not love the way he manages the country? Republicans are about 'less government', and apparently less thought, less forsight and less common sense. But...more war, more oil and more corporate greed.

Rome is burning.

Answer 2

People in the U.S. re-elected Bush because of fear. The head of the GOP and "the architect" Karl Rove did an impressive job of getting the country to believe that al Qaeda would be at their doorstep the next day if they voted for a Democrat.

For his part, Kerry didn't do himself any favors with the poor campaign he ran. He waited too long to respond to the Swift Boat propaganda, he did stupid stuff like windsurfing on his day off, and ultimately he just wasn't a candidate that sparked enthusiasm or hope.

For the most part, the people of the U.S. are not happy with the way he has managed our country. He definitely has his supporters, but if look up any current poll on Bush's approval rating it will be low.

Personally, I didn't think Bush managed the country well in his first term and I think he's doing even worse on his second go around. I'm just glad our constitution won't allow him to go for a third term. And no I didn't vote for him either time, so don't blame me.

Answer 3

There are just way too many weak, brainwashed people in the USA. When cheating is the norm, how can one be appointed, or re-elected with the majority's approval.
Bush was not elected by popular vote.
The lack of proper management has enraged me from day one!
Finally, in November we were able to send a message to Bush about his negligence, and ignorance. Too bad it wasn't 2004, better yet 2000, but at that time, most were still unaware that Bush would carry out such horrors, both at home, and around the world.
Not happy, ashamed, scared, is closer to the truth.

Answer 4

I feel they wanted him to finish what he started and to show the terrorists we don't buckle under. And to show them we are a strong willed country that sticks to their beliefs. If we would have voted John Kerry into office in 2004, we would have should the terrorists that we can't stand by our president in times of crisis.

As for the 2008 elections I feel it's way too early to predict which way this country will vote. Both parties have problems and unfortunately no independent candidate is strong enough to win yet. But I feel their are a few people out there that would send a strong message to the terrorists and I strongly believe we need to vote one of those people into office. Even if we can start to sit down and have talks with the leaders. Since we still need to show a strong front against them.

Answer 5

This is a complicated issue, so there is no easy answer. However, two major movements coincided that gave Bush a huge edge.

the first was a campaign by the National rifle Association, who urged all members to vote for Bush because they believed that if John kerry was able to replace one or two supreme court justices, then the court would be stacked against gun owners and would weaken the 2nd Amendment.

the second was a national campaign amongst clergymen, urging their parishioners to vote Republican, in order to stop the threat of gay marriage, and to ban abortions.

i9n response to your second question, the people were obviously not happy with their decision, as evidenced by the 2006 elections, in which the republicans were routed.

Answer 6

John Kerry was a great candidate on paper and that's where it ended. He was cold, boring and played right into the GOP's claims that he was indecisive. Bush was marketed better. He was simpler and easier to understand. Kerry had too many nuanced responses that made it easy for the Republicans to define him.

Answer 7

President Bush was re-elected because the majority of Americans believed him to be the better of the two candidates.
No fraud, no conspiracy plots, nothing magical.

I don't agree with many of his moves, but I do still believe him to have been the better of the two candidates.

Answer 8

Because the alternative, John Kerry, was really scary because he could not stick to his decisions on issues. He also claimed he'd "do better' than Bush but never bothered to offer how he'd do so.

Answer 9

Kerry was a joke. He is an arrogant and condescending man. Pres Bush has had problems with the war on terror. He has done a horrible job of communicating and has allowed liberals to call him a liar and make up facts on Iraq.

Answer 10

Because his opponent, John Kerry, was a bafoon. Kerry ran a horrible campaign.
