Why do people emphatically defend Bush? Are Americans really that stupid?

Question

Bush: "I will protect you from terrorist"
Bush Lovers: Only He will protect us from terrorist, you wont.
Real World: Nuclear Proliferation is UP, terror attacks have INCREASED worldwide, anti-american hatred has increased significantly.

Bush: Our Economy is Strong!
Bush Lovers: Our Economy is strong! Dow is over 15,000!
Real World: US is selling debt to other counties (china) while decreasing exports.. creating a weaker dollar, putting us into debt and raising the federal deficit to the highest level in history.

Those are just two small examples.. but the question is serious.. what is wrong with these people that believe this guy? Im almost embarrased to say im american when I travel to other countries. And the only responses people can give are blaming clinton for monica lewinsky?

Answer 1

only the 30% of Americans that still like him are that stupid

Answer 2

Why do we blame him for everything that goes wrong?

Have you noticed we are in a war? No wonder terror attacks have increased! Bush stayed true to his word though, have we been attacked by nuclear bombs or terrorists since 9/11? No.

Our economy is strong! If it wasnt strong would any of us been on the computer? And just to let you know, America has pretty much always been in debt.

If you are embarrased to say your American, you can go look at soldiers, with their mangled bodies,in the eye, and tell them that.

Before you start ranting again, think about the wide public you are attacking. Is it THAT hard to be a good citizen.

Now, my question is, are you an American?

Answer 3

As an outsider, when we see people defend G Bush it does make you look stupid, yes.

The majority of his foreign policy ( terror, commercial, ecological, humanitarian ) is isolationist and insulor. If you back that up, it makes you look extrememly short sighted.

we took to the streets and protested, peacefully, against our leaders when they were crap and got rid of them. The longer the US people choose not to do this the more we assume you agree with him.

His terms in office, and the US people lack of objection, has done your country more damage than you can ever imagine,

Is he the best leader you've got ? If he didn't have money, a famous family and contacts, he would never be in the position he's in. That says just as much about the USA as does you leaving him in power.

turn the mic off and ask all other world leaders, none have any respect for Bush and cannot understand what you are doing with him in power.

Answer 4

i like your question but wished you would do a little better job on your research before you post! Ist all the Demo's that are running for pres. 2008 ran over to Iraq and just knew they would find everything that Bush was doing wrong But what did they find they found that the Government of Iraq is doing nothing to help stop the Blood bath? Hummmm Came running home with their mouth shut!!!!
Economy? 2ND did you look at the GNP? Do you know the ratio's to debt? Homework My son Homework!!!!Do it!
I agree the Demo's are better when dealing in Foreign affairs and the Rep's are best when you want to Go to War. Politics is so stupid it makes my head hurt. If Our Goverment officals could work as one the USA would be the Best place on Earth! They would rather waste Mine and everyone else's hard earned dollars fighting over B.S. like you said Monica, Who cares I would bet a dollar to a donut that Monica was really sleeping Ole Hillary ha ha

Answer 5

Sadly, many Americans appear very stupid, particularly to the rest of the world. The real problem is that most Americans know very little about the outside world, having been force fed self-affirming propaganda by incredibly introspective and tunnel-visioned governments and media. You guys should get out more. Come and visit the real world, Australia. We'll show you a good time.

Answer 6

Not every American defends President Bush. A 30 percent war approval rating says a lot. November's election spoke volumes.
As for Blaming Clinton, remember that Gore didn't lose by much. If President Clinton didn't commit perjury there would have been enough votes for Gore to win. Some people didn't vote against Gore they voted against Clinton for his perjury. Even Gore himself blamed Clinton for the loss.
Just an observation.

Answer 7

Hell Monica was the only thing he did right. If given the chance to get a hummer from her when looking at hillary what would you do or better yet WWJD. The economy is RIDEING ON WHAT REAGAN DID!!!!Yes the American public is STUPID, "I read in the news paper-- I saw on TV where they said". I've been the subject of, power of the pen and the majority is pin heads my friend.

Answer 8

Something like 60% to 70% of Americans do not approve of the job Bush is doing. I wish the middle-of-the-roaders had wised up in 2004 when they had a chance to throw the bum out. It was obvious from the 2006 elections that they were sorry they hadn't replaced him when they had the chance.

Answer 9

There hasn't been one terrorist attack in the US since 9/11. We have taken the fight to them on their turf. This makes it more likely that we will not have one here. The lack of attacks does not mean that we are safer. It means that the terrorists have an unfettered place to plan more horrific attacks

Answer 10

Let's see, your embarrassed to be an American, because Congress has totally failed to legislate a single damn thing, and you want to blame the President who has had to handle more than the previous 6 combined.
I'm embarrassed by your partisan drivel!

YOU are now free to move out of the Country!






Don't let the door hit your brain on the way out!

Answer 11

Again anyone that does not believe as you do, must be stupid. I love your holier than thou attitude. I myself disagree about a lot of things that Bush has done. I am totally against the fiscal irresponsibility that has happened during his administration and others before him. Don't set Clinton on no pedestal either. I just happen to agree with Bush about one aspect of this war that we are waging in Iraq. DEFEAT is not an option!
