Answer 1

I think the US President is none of Brazil's business and I don't believe he was re-elected due to corruption.

Answer 2

Unfortunately there have been problems with elections in the US using electronic ballot boxes because there is no way to go back and re-count when there is a question. Some states that were using electronic ballot boxes are now reverting to paper voting.

The US definitely needs to work on its voting system. Many people's votes are omited or miscounted, and that is a dangerous situation in a democracy.

Bush, unfortunately, was not criticized because of the corrupt election (although I agree that the appearance of corruption was there), he is criticized because now that the house and senate have Democratic majorities people are able to voice their opinions openly. Throughout Bush's reign his press conferences and public events were carefully scripted and no one who disagreed with him was allowed to participate. This made it look to the world like there was no dissention. There was dissention- it just didn't get voiced through the media because of the Bush White House's management of what was said.

One telling event is that the Bush White House didn't want the public to see the coffins of dead soldiers being returned from Iraq because this would have affected people's opinions of the war.

Answer 3

Brazil is one of the most corrupted countries in the world. The president is a leftist who is a close friend of Cuba's dictator Fidel Castro who transferred his dictatorship to his brother Raul.
The elections in Brazil are like the elections in Venezuela...

Answer 4

Paulo do not base your opinions on internet blogs like these as you mostly hear from people who live on the right and left extremes and they are vocal but not many in number. The right/left or we call them libs/conservs tend to X each other out at election time. The US is a moderate country with the vast majority of the voters somewhere in the middle, some slightly to the left of center, some slightly to the right of center in politicis. Your comments start out as though it is a foregone conclusion that America hates George Bush. He is not a great President but he does a decent job with the cards that he was left to use. It takes millions of Democratic voters to elect a Republican President and millions crossed party lines to vote for him (twice). I am a lifelong Democrat and voted for Bush both times because the candidates my own party offered were less than Bush. So think about that. As you read people saying that Bush is Satan, we hate him! We elected him twice from a minority party so maybe what they are really saying is Bush is terrible and our party is even less and we have been rejected by voters twice. Blogs like this are full of people who cling to images and slogans and like to spout off as though they are in some inside group who knows so much. Right wingers think they are cowboys and patriots, left wingers are people who hate just about everything and love to talk that way because they think by being against something, they are smarter or more chic. Neither side counts for anything in an election. They are just barking dogs who make noise but have no teeth. The media does pretty much the same thing. When Clinton was President he was hounded and despised and it still goes on if you listen to the news or these kind of message boasrds. Bush was elected easily to his maximum two terms. Every country, every society has a certain number of people who are wacky and loud and that is what you see on these boards. The right and the left are worthless, count for nothing, elect no one, accuse everyone. Bush is a warmonger!! but the Democratic Party (who calls him that) was in the majority in Congress when he went to war and they voted in favor of it. so you see much of what you hear in these blogs is just baloney and that tries to live on despite facts and reality. We have people who are political cultists who worship the idea of being political. Those people are the kind of people you would not want to have as a neighbor, a co-worker or even to sit close to in a restaurant. I hope this has helped and I am sure in messages to follow you will see me attacked by the same barking dogs from one extreme or the other. but honestly most people are just amused by all of the hot air that comes from political cultists from the political extremes. I hope I have helped to explain some of what you see and hear about us.
