Has the appointment of George Bush as President torn America in half?

Question

If yes then I am sorry but what does that say about Americans today?

Does this appointment of George Bush as your leader not, in itself, prove that the majority of Americans today are completely foolish and are you embarrassed that you people have made this huge mistake?

Libstalker by electing him you people appointed him look in the ENGLISH dictionary and I am not from the United States you clown.

I don't vote I never have and never will. Voting only means that you are putting a lying criminal into a position of power.

Lol have you people heard yourselves you actually sound like poilticians avoiding the question and turning it into something totally different. Take responsibilty for your mistake.

Answer 1

Yes his presidency has torn this country in half. Its sad too that we sit and complain about it and are willing to do nothing to take our own country back. We talk it but do nothing about it.....I say its about time we take our country back.

Its starting to look like we are being run by the planet of the apes!!!

Answer 2

In a sense, yes. The Bush/Gore election marked the end of centrist politics in the US. Both candidates had done so well in apealing to the center that they split the vote virtually evenly in a few too many states.

Since then, both parties have resorted to partisan politics, instead, apealing to the most radical - and thus, most motivated and energetic - members of thier respective 'bases' in order to garner large campaign contributions and nigh-fanatical grass-roots campaign volunteers.

Just look at how much more money Presidential candidates have been raising since then. They simply realized that the moderate vote could be bought with enough TV add budget, and the radical base was the place to go to get the money.


The 2000 election ended a trend towards centrist Presidential politics that had gone on for about 20 years. THAT has torn America in half. The trend would have ended just as certainly if Gore had been "appointed" president, and the same idealogical rift would have manifested.

Answer 3

It says we have to stop watching UGLY BETTY and the "reality TV" and start paying attention to what is going on that can REALLY make a difference in our lives. Democracy requires a full time committment and paying attention. Being involved in the process is not just voting once a year or so, if at all, but being well informed so as to make a well informed decision in the voting booth. It means being in contact with those who represent us, and not leaving it up to them to do it on their own. If they don't know how to represent us, because we don't tell them, than how do we have the right to complain about their performance? No one says you have to talk politics at all. Just pay attention, be well informed, join a group of like minded folks if you like, inform your reps. how to represent you and be sure to vote. That is what Americans are supposed to do. If we don't start doing this kind of thing our next appointed president will be worse than Bush.

Answer 4

The tearing apart of the US started about 40 years ago with the rise of the hippies and their "question all authority" attitude. Since then it's gotten progressively worse. It proves the old adage that if you put a frog in hot water it'll jump right out, if you put it in cool water and very slowly heat it up, the frog will stay and be cooked to death. That's whats happened to our country. Plus all diplomacy, courtesy and etiquette has been removed from society, so if two people of differing views start talking it usually comes to blows. The same goes for the news stations, political parties and religions. It's sad but true.

Answer 5

Unfortunately, the country was torn in half before George Bush was elected. He is a symptom of the problem, not its proximate cause...

Answer 6

That's like blaming Lincoln for the Civil War.

Considering the hatred shown towards Bush by the Democrats, starting in the Republican nomination race, it is evident where the hatred and divisiveness started.

But only people who care for the truth will see that.

Answer 7

The first time the boy king was appointed president by his daddy colleagues in the supreme court. Who said elections don't matter. As far as we call tell he won the second term with the help of his spin and mudraker turd blossom (Bushs term for rove.) fair and square. So the voters have no one to blame but themselves.

Answer 8

The UNelected stupid "Decider" has only succeeded in becoming the Divider... and by that I am not talking about his "fuzzy math" that has exploded the national debt with no compensating national assets to show for it. Down with Dictator Dumbya!!!

Answer 9

Bush wasn't appointed, he got into the White House because the state of Florida (and Governer Jeb Bush) handed it to him. Kerry held the majority of the popular vote in that election... and he got screwed!!!

Answer 10

George Bush was elected President twice. The people rejected the socialist liberal candidates. It is unfortunate that we are in a war on terror. But it is better to fight them on their home field than ours.
