If you voted for Bush to have a second term....do you now regret it?

Answer 1

Yes, I represent all Americans dumb enough to actually vote for Bush not once, but twice and can honestly say that was horribly ignorant of me and I am repentant for my reckless and irresponsible actions and pliable mind.

Answer 2

ABSOLUTELY *NOT*!

I have voted for Presidents of the United States since the 1964 Presidential Election. The only Presidential vote I cast, which I regret, was the one for LBJ! Though I was a registered Democrat {hangs his head in shame} until the 1997 Primary Election; I have only voted for the Republican Nominee since 1964! It bears repeating, so I'll do so, quoting the greatest President of the Twentieth Century - the Honorable Ronald W. Reagan - "I did *not* leave the Democrat Party; it left me."

Your posting of this question implies that you are probably a liberal/Commie/Socialist or were converted into same by: 1. the lies and cover-ups of the Drive-by Media, 2. the current crop of Defeat-o-crats inside the Beltway, 3. belief in George Soros' Move-on.org form of Socialism & in Michael Moore's distorted views and propaganda!

I don't buy into all this BS like: John F. Kerry's anti-American acts and beliefs (like when, in the 1970s, since he had not yet resigned his military commission, violated the oath he swore as a Navy Officer, by throwing someone else's medals over either the White House's or the Capital Building's fence), and during the 2004 Election, the lies and falsehoods he continued to spread and his current, traitorous stance; the so-called, "proofs" of no WMDs nor presence of al-Qaeda in Iraq; that we are involved in an "Iraqi Civil War"; that the US is responsible for "all" of the terrorist attacks on the US and US interests, including 9-11; that the danger of terrorism has increased because of US actions; that "the US will be safe, and won't have more terrorist attacks and more danger, if we announce to the world we're leaving Iraq and when"; that "Bush lied and soldiers died"; that "the US is only in Iraq to protect Haliburton's and Dick Cheney's interests, that "Scooter" Libbey actually committed a serious crime; that Valerie Plame-Wilson was a covert CIA agent whose cover was "blown", that President Bush is not *really* a Christian and had acted in many non-Christian ways; that President Bush has subverted and violated his Constitutional authority and violated the law; that Tom DeLay actually did *anything* wrong, except stand in the way of the Democrat's ambitions and anti-American agenda; that *any* patriotic Americans can truthfully say they support the troops, but not the mission, since they're inseparable; etc., etc.!

The main areas I disagree with Pres. Bush is in his support of the "Illegal Alien Amnesty Act of 2007", his failure to make sure the law against illegal immigrants passed in 1986 is enforced, his failure to pardon the Border Guards wrongly imprisoned, yet, his failure to do all he can to expedite the building of the Border fence.

Would you rather have that lilly-livered, anti-American (traitor?), Kerry in the White House and as Commander-in-Chief of the US Military?

Answer 3

No, at the time, he was our president; voting against him would've been a vote against the nation.

... besides (as I'm sure lots of other people are saying) the individual voters had little- or no responsibility for Bush's win.

Even if he one a district by one little vote, that WHOLE district is then counted 'in his favor; then, no matter the majority, the votes of THE WHOLE state were counted in his favor; then the votes of THE WHOLE region-of-the-country ... and then each region's vote was only 'considered' by the Voting College, who then voted for the best money!

Regret what?

Answer 4

um ... there are some honest Republicans who sheepishly admit they made a huge mistake. they express regret and repentance. and they've either went Democratic or Independent. the Republican party is experiencing an exodus and if the leadership doesn't start distancing themselves from Bush their party will be swirling down the toilet come next election cycle.

and then there's the neoCONNED. those who continue to drink the poison Kool-aid. they love Bush because he looks and sounds like them. he's an arrogant self indulgent proudly ignorant little man who NEVER admits he's wrong. he's someone they wouldn't mind having a beer with, a smirking spoiled mega wealthy frat brat wearing a born again good ol' boy costume, a swaggering John Wayne wanna-be playing "war president" like our troops are made of green plastic. he's an empty Rovian creation designed to appeal to those who will believe anything as long as it's what they want to hear. GW Bush could bar-b-que babies on the White House veranda and these loyal grovelers would hand him the sauce.

Answer 5

Yes and Yes.

I liked him more than Gore and am OK with my 2000 vote knowing what I knew then and now.

I should have voted for the Constitution Party in 2004 to have a clear conscious. My vote didn't matter as Kerry won in a landslide in Illinois, the most corrupt state in America.

Answer 6

Yes! My ballot got sent to my parents' house and I thought it would be okay to let my mom fill it out. I will not do that again.

However, I do live in California, and the state went to Kerry anyway. So it didn't affect anything.

Answer 7

considering what would have been, i dont. if there were actually somebody better than him during the 2004 race (which still blows me away that the dems couldnt find somebody better than W) they would have had my vote. i feel betrayed, but with the little options i had and have, how can i regret it? besides, MN went to long-orange-face.

Answer 8

I don't regret it.

I certainly expected things like the borders to be addressed and solved, and an explanation or outline of our goals in Iraq (but that's intelligence that he just can't spit out), but overall, I don't regret NOT having John FlipFlip Kerry running the country.

Answer 9

No, because in reality you truly never know when you vote for someone and they are elected if all they said and revealed about themselves is true.

It is like the Lottery - you win some, you lose some!

Answer 10

I didn't vote for him either time. I knew he would be a disaster. Never ever elect a born-again christian who is a reformed-drunk. They have issues.

Answer 11

no, not in the least.. and i would say so if i did.

anyone who says otherwise probably didn't vote for him in the first place (imho).
