Bush was not elected in 2000 nor in 2004.

In 2000, 90,000 black people, the vast majority who would have voted for Al Gore, were illegally denied the right to vote in Florida where Bush's brother was governor.

This is not a secret, but people often look the other way when it is themselves or a friend who is violating others. As long as they get what they want, decency, honesty, legality, and even the Constitution of the United States of America goes out the window. It's the same age old story about corruption, self-centeredness, greed, exploition, violence (and these actions in 2000 were violent towards black people, there is no other way to consider them given our nation's history), injustice, lies, and hypocrisy.

In 2004, the monkey business moved to Ohio and people following politics knew it was going to happen before it did because the head of Diebold, the company that makes the electronic voting machines used in many states including Ohio, promised Ohio would be delivered to Bush.

There were lots of problems in Ohio on election day, it got some coverage, but not anywhere near what it should have been but then why bother since the evidence was so clear in Florida and they got away with it?

We have an illegal administration in our nation, it's a travesty, but enough Americans are willing to compromise their values (oh what a surprise there) to get what they think they want that it has been allowed to continue. We are also now paying the price for it and will continue to do so for awhile. Next up, war with Iran, reinstate the draft, counterculture explodes out of the 60s into present day, and our nation falls completely apart this time. It's all very, very sad but where would you think lies and corruption would lead to?

I think a gentleman interviewed on one of the all-news channels summed it up best. John Kerry was known for taking long periods of time before making important decisions, constantly gathering data, researching, and second guessing himself after coming to an initial conclusion. He concluded that Bush may be a cowboy of sorts but he believed that is exactly the type of individual needed for the times when instant decisions concerning the welfare of our citizens. His proclivity of making quick judgments was seen by many as a plus in a very dangerous world where lack of resolve and inaction are perceived as weakness. For good or for ill, Mr. Bush does not have that problem. Our enemies know that a transgression detected early will result in nearly instant retribution. A certain amount of unpredictability does have a tendency to make our foes take pause before doing something stupid, although that doesn't seem to slow them down much. Also, in a presidential race, people have a tendency to side with a voice that trumpets victory as a constant theme rather then withdrawal or defeat as Mr. Kerry did. That was the bottom line. What gives states much power is the electoral college. Mr. Bush won that vote by a slim margin.

Talk about the hypocritical bunch of retards in congress,.. the american people are hypocritical themselves. They weep for the country and curse bush yet they vote for him. Kerry may have not been the top choice in centrist ideas but if you dont' hire him how will you know? Instead they vote for Bush and then turn on him halfway through. 36% of the country thinks he's doing a good job. I would venture a guess that even more dissaprove than that actual number. Yet when asked why people voted for him they continue to embrace the idea that John Kerry was some how a weaker candidate. Last I looked there were more than 2 parties in politics. The american people are weak.

The people knew that John F'ing Kerry had no idea what to do in the middle east. George had a plan and executed it. The people voted to keep moving forward and adjust the plan as needed as we continued on. The people knew in their hearts that John Kerry was weak, unsure, and flaccid and that George Bush would answer a call to action despite the known and unknown risks.

And "Paul" listed below me is dumb.

A lot of people didn't want to change presidents during a war and a lot of people thought that Bush was a better president than Kerry would be.

Other than the fact the he is a good president, no one would vote for that elitist moron the democrats put up, John "Heinz" Kerry.

Because they thought he was a better choice than the scoundrel Kerry and nothing has happened since then to refute that contention.
