Shouldn't we stop blaminng Bush for Iraq etc and blame the American people instead? They elected him twice.

Question

I mean, if you were an talentless simpleton and were offered the chance of being US prez, wouldn't you take it?

The real blame should go the American people who, at one point, actually gave an 80% approval rate when the rest of us saw him for the dim -witted cowboy that he is.

Answer 1

Bush claimed to be "born again", grabbing trusting evangelicals.

Then he cliamed to be pro-Latino, pulling another segment of a low-voting group.

Oddly enough, many of those dieing in Iraq are the children of those who voted for him.

What's most hilarious, is that he's anti-public healthcare, but got those voting blocks to ignore everything he was against since he was supposedly pro-Christian. Being uncharitable is the most un-Christian thing one can do. Then there is th smear campaign against Kerry and his wife. DId he tell people to stop it ? No. Again Un-Christian.

Well, they wantd a former alcoholic, playboy, bad student. They got one.

Answer 2

It's true. But he lied about the reasons for going to war so the American people were mislead. And, it is questionable whether he really was elected the first time or not. Al Gore won the popular vote and perhaps some unscrupulous happenings put Bush in the White House. I am happy to say that I voted for him ZERO times and I have always known that he was a dim-witted cowboy. It doesn't take a genius to see that.

Answer 3

No, because Bush is a greedy little warmonger, hell yes people had the chance to kick him out, but they are not to blame for the war. Just the same in Britain, twice we had a chance to get rid of Blair and twice he was let back in, the stupid fools who don't have a clue about politics but still vote did that. Obviously I didn't vote Labour, I have some intelligence, but I still don't blame all the daft eedjits and the old grannies who 'votit labour aw mah life' (Who'd vote for a chimp if it was wearing a Labour rosette!) for the war, in fact some of the aforementioned gimps are the ones who vote labour then winge and moan about the war that their beloved labour sodding well created with Mr Bush! Sorry to rant on about British politics when you asked about Bush, but the two seem to go hand in glove as Blair is Bushes slave and will do anything he tells him to, better make the most of it though, Gordon Brown is a tougher nut, I think.

Answer 4

He never got my vote or Approval either of the two times and I am American. I wouldnt say you could blame the American People just the die hard Republicans in America that would rather have the country go to hell in a hand basket than see a Dem win the presidency. My bets are now that 80 % of the country now would not put him in again and will probably vote democratic to end the war.

Answer 5

LOL! I agree with you. Fruit for thought tho, I met an American lady 2 years ago and she told me that she thought Bush is an idiot. However, she said she would vote for Bush again just so he can sort the Iraq war out. Something like "He brought us into this mess, it's his problem to bring us out of it'. From what I understand, almost all American that travels out of the states saw him as a dim-witted cowboy anyway. As only about 20% of the population have a passport, it's not enough to vote him out.

Answer 6

the yank human beings can argue that they have been defective, it incredibly is real. The question is what are they going to do approximately it now that the genocide in Iraq has been shown to be led to by utilising the U. S.' habit to oil. as properly, you could no longer in common terms blame Bush... the U. S. has been invading unfavourable worldwide places simply by fact it stole 0.5 of Mexico interior the 1840's. How could we glance on the U. S. inhabitants for helping activities from the robbery of Mexico, Hawaii and the Philipines to the assasination of Arbenz, Mossadegh, Allende and the invasions of Viet Nam, Grenada and Haiti?

Answer 7

I think your right on. I have been to Europe, the Ukraine and Russia and many other countries and we are BY FAR, the most uneducated first world country. It was embarassing at a dinner when our Russian guests knew more about the American politic scene than he did.

Iraq had nothing to do with 911 but the American public didn't care. Paris Hilton they care about, but a $50 dollar increase per barrel of oil (from $18 dollars per barrel when he was first elected) and more U.S. soldiers dying now more than ever, doesn't effect people. Bush is being sleazy and taking care of big business, but we gave him the opportunity to do it. Your totally right.

Answer 8

You sure do love to point the finger. If I were you I'd show more respect and refrain from talking your smack 'cause it's the Americans who would be the ones who come to your aid and save your a s s.

Bush went to a prestigious college - What the hell are you doing with your life that makes you so much better?

Don't approve of the war in Iraq? Don't beg for our help when the Islamic extremists begin to swarm into your country and beheading your fellow citizens.

Answer 9

Remember, the Senate voted overwhelmingly to support the war ... both parties. According to the Constitution, the President can't declare war -- only the Congress can. The Senate & House can stop it any time they choose. And, YOU elected your members of Congress. So, the President isn't the dim-wit ... we are. If you didn't vote, don't complain. If you did vote, find out why your Senators and Congressman won't take their Consitutional responsiblity seriously for declaring war.

Answer 10

The cults that choose the candidates are to blame. It's not like we had better alternatives for president. Even if we did, the media and other groups wouldn't allow them to exist.
