I know its a personal choice when you decide who to vote for in the Presidential Elections, but who did you vote for in 2000 and 2004, why, and knowing what you know now would you change that?

2000. Voted for Gore. I didn't see any reason to vote for Bush, because I found him to be a poor public speaker, and he had a bad track record. I didn't hear about a single positive accomplishment in his years as governor of Texas, and his experience with foreign affairs were nil. Gore had a good environmental and foreign affairs history, and years and years of federal government experience. He wasn't my first choice in either party's race, but of the two they picked, he was clearly the best choice. History seems to be proving me right.
2004. Voted for Kerry. It was the better of two evils. Honestly, I thought Kerry was worthless. No understanding of how regular people live or think. No clear plan for how he wanted to change things. But Bush was a proven loser. No Child Left Behind is a total failure. The economy was not improving. His social security plan was bunk. And the war was poorly planned and executed, whether it was "justified" or not. The "better the devil you know than the devil you don't know" theory is illogical, and my vote was more a vote against Bush than a vote for Kerry.
I wouldn't change my vote, based on the information I have now. That said, I wish both parties had provided better candidates to choose from, or that it was not a waste of time to pick a non-party candidate. We can do better than any of these clowns.

Gore 2000 and Kerry 2004.
I haven't trusted any of the Republican candidates in any of the 7 elections I have voted in (since 1980) because they are too closely tied to the Military-Industrial complex (the one Republican Dwight Eisenhower warned us about in 1961) and their answer to everything is a bigger military and more wars. Ronald Raygun was flat scary kids...people seem to forget we lived most of the 1980's in fear of the Russians...Republicans like fear.
Well look what happened after GWB was elected in 2000...the Republicans have launched a campaign to take over the world through military force at great peril to our country and the very principles of the American ideal...I rest my case.

I voted for Bush, but wish I did not. I didn't like any of my choices at the time, though. Hopefully this time around we will have better choices.

Bush both times. I would NOT change either of my votes. I feel we would be so much worse off under Gore and Kerry. He might not be the best president ever but I can think of worse.

Gore and then Kerry. I knew that there was something wrong with Bush from the beginning. No, I still would have voted for them.

Anyone But Bush.
He didn't fool me the first time, or the second time.
Not sure what anyone has ever seen in him.
