Would you vote for Bush again?

Question

Since Bush has been in office, 10,000 Americans have died through war, Katrina, ( Katrina was not his doing but it took him a week to send help while people were dying and getting raped) and 9/11. Because of Bush wanting to take down Iraq ( instead of Bid Ladin) Gas prices have surged to triple the amount they were before Bush was elected, the economy is worst than its been in years. He can mobilize a shock and destroy unit to iraq 2,000 miles away but cant send help to his own Americans in New Orleans.

How could you vote for this man again? I dont understand.

I know he cant run again but if he could.

In response to kitty. People did go to shelters, the shelters ended up either being destroyed or under water. Not everyone could afford to fly to New York or somewhere.

How is that being stupid, what were they suppose to do?

After what happened, Bush should have sent help, food, water, and order down there.

In response to Mcpoop, gas prices were around 1.19 before bush got into office and now they're like 3.59. They did pretty much triple.

And the people of New Orleans did go to shelters, but they were also badly damaged, then once the shelters released them after the hurricane, it was hell. They needed help down there, and it took a week. Not everyone can afford to leave the city. It would seem to me that americans would care more about their own people here in the country than people 2,000 miles away.

I'm pro american ...and I believe the american people come first and new orleans is a part of america

There were even people in hospitals and special homes that couldnt leave New Orleans, ...stop calling them ignorant.

Answer 1

I would not vote for this man he is incompetent and he is an embarrassment to this country. He has really lowered the standard to become a president.

Answer 2

I was paying $1.12 for gas in 2000. So to pay over $ 3.00 is pretty disgusting. I was reminiscing with family about the times we used to be able to take $ 20 and fill our gas tanks, now $20 hardly gives me 1/2 a tank.
Even if he could run again which, thank god he can't, I would not vote for him for dog catcher. I would probably vote for Barney his dog because it appears to be the only sensible thing in the White House. He does not listen to his owner. But I put nothing past him.
FACT: On May 9, 2007, Bush issued a PRESIDENTIAL DIRECTIVE giving him full control of the government in the event of a "catastrophic emergency." It is known as NSPD51.
http://www.fas.org/irp/offdocs/nspd/nspd...
Although the directive doesn't specifically identify the types of emergencies that would qualify as "catastrophic," it is vague enough to encompass "any incident, regardless of location, that results in extraordinary levels of mass casualties, damage, or disruption severely affecting the U.S. population, infrastructure, environment, economy, or government function." This means that a hurricane like Katrina (or in the case of our territories in the Pacific typhoons) in Guam or Hawai'i or an earthquake in California can fall under this directives auspices and therein the total power grab.

Katrina response was abyssmal. Those who castigated you, really show how much of the Bush koolaid they drank
FACT: 80% of the population of N.O had evacuated the city prior to Hurricane Katrina. The remainder were those who
a) could not afford to evacuate
b) those who did not want to leave their pets behind since shelters don't take pets.
FACT: Louisiana National Guardsmen were unable to respond because
1) They were in Iraq
2) Their equipment was also in Iraq

FACT: Bush had been warned and he lied yet again, and claimed he had no idea that would happen, only to see the then head of the Hurricane Center, Max Mayfield had warned of the distinct possibility of the disaster happening.

FACT: Bush attacked a country that did not attack us, which played right into the talking points of Bin Laden and his rhetoric which is that all the West wants to do is destroy Islam and any Islamic nation, therefore they ( meaning Muslims) need to strike out and fight back against this super power.

I see people talking about how safe we are since 9/11 and he is responsible. Oh ye of short memory. Al Qaeda is patient, they waited 8 years before they attacked us again. 1993, 2001- 8 stinking years. Talk about being safe if we make it past the 8 year mark without a scratch.
This is also a reason why his argument about leaving Iraq is also a fallacy. Even if we stay, 5,10,15 years- they will just wait us out and we will remain OBL and his evil ilk's best recruiting tool and by staying feed the line of " The West wants to control us all"

Answer 3

Are you even sensible approximately issues? I mean via fact that Obama took over, issues are starting to be progressively worse than any of the mess left by ability of Bush. this is black and white and the info and figures are there. I understand which you will constantly hate Bush and nevertheless will to not blame him for each little thing yet this President is in fee now and he would desire to be held in charge for what he has not performed. An abjecxt failure except you're finding via rose colored glasses.

Answer 4

You are looking a some bad things... and not mentioning any of the good. Our economy is excellent. The stock market just hit an all time high. Unemployment is low. Education is improving. America is growing stronger in technology and in medical exploration and improvement. College enrollment is at an all time high... What are you basing the bad economy on... just the price of gas? People are still travelling, and more than ever, so it has not slowed people down too much.

Answer 5

In 1999, at the height of the Clinton Era, with the deficit paid back, and the internet on its way to great things, etc., I read Time Magazine and there was a story about George W. Bush wanting to be the next president...
I mean, damn! Eight years of Reagan, and then Poppy Bush. We were still reeling from his father's "War on Drugs" Gulf war syndrome, and Clinton beat him good for that in 1992, (with my vote, too). My life was already scarred enough from it, but here is this guy wanting to bring it all back, -and he did-, even to stealing two elections?
I wonder if we'll even survive to the next election, it is still a pretty long time away.

Answer 6

Great question and commentary!!!
He has never been my President! I didn't vote for him and would NEVER vote for him. The man is a facist who works for the almighty $...he has no interest in the people in this country.
When he took office we were in the black financially now we are so badly in debt to China, Japan, Israel, and so on.....that he will never leave the Middle East! Why?...because he has to control the one thing that everyone on the planet needs to survive...oil....He's carrying us kicking and screaming down the tubes....I'm voting for my President Al Gore!!
Thank you for the inspired important Question!!!

Answer 7

I'd vote differently if the Democrats could produce a candidate that didn't believe in abortion without exceptions and isn't Hillary Clinton. I'd vote for Gore.

Answer 8

You're full of rhetoric, and of the most dramatic kind.

First of all, less than 4000 have died. Compared to ANY other war America has fought, we have done exceptionally well. Certainly no thanks to the underfunding of the military for nearly a decade under the Clinton Administration.

WWI - 116708 died
WWII - 408306 died
Korean War 54246 died
Vietnam - 58219 died

Second, people in New Orleans dying and being raped? I'm not sure that's even worthy of a legitimate response. How do you blame Bush for half a city IGNORING an evacuation over a week ahead of time?

The economy has been AMAZING, not "worse than it's been in years". Our Dow Jones (do you even know what that IS, pumpkin?) is at a RECORD HIGH, and the unemployment is lower than the average Clinton years', which wasn't bad either.

Gas prices have not tripled. They weren't under 85 cents when Bush took office.

Come to the table with a legitimate fact next time.

EDITED
TO ADD

No, Gas prices were NOT $1.19 when Bush took office. They were nearly $2.00 thanks to an additional federal tax by the previous administration. Check the gas buddy link and see for yourself.

You argue that it's Bush's fault that it took a week to get supplies. Can you tell me of an emergency that provided EVERYONE *immediate* help?

You can leave a city in the event of an emergency and receive help from a Red Cross Shelter or other government or private assist program in another city.

People didn't take the warning seriously. They had a WEEK to evacuate. Those of us who live in earthquake prone places wish we had that kind of head start.

In the meantime, we have supplies of water and emergency stuff ready to go. It's not the President's job to bring me ice cold water after an earthquake.

Apparently, you think it is.

Feel like admitting that our economy is kicking butt - despite being in a war - or that our war casualties are historically low, despite all the dipsticks parroting about "how our military is soooo grossly under supported"?

Answer 9

i didnt the first 2 times

Answer 10

A president can only serve two terms and this is his second so it isn't possible to vote for him again.

Answer 11

Didn't vote for him before and definitely would not vote for him now.
