To Those Who Support George Bush?

Question

You're definitely some of the most loyal political supporters I've ever seen in my life. I'm just curious. What would it take for you to STOP supporting him?

PS Serious answers only please. We've all heard enough Bush jokes and Liberal jokes to last us the rest of our stupid lives.

Answer 1

His treatment of the detainees at Gitmo was one thing that almost kept me from voting for him in '04. But when I considered the alternative, Kerry, I came back to my senses.

We know Bush isn't perfect. He has made a ton of mistakes in his prosecution of the War in Iraq. But right now, he's about the only thing that's keeping us from withdrawing and ceding Iraq to the regional powers.

I think the War in Iraq is far more important than it seems on the face of it. I believe Bush knows this and will do what he thinks is right. The fact that Bush goes with what he thinks is right is why many people voted for him and why many people hate him now.

To answer your question, though. If Bush took a position endorsing gun control, I would not support him.

Answer 2

I was asking the same question in the late 90s.

It's a question of supporting the duly elected President, not necessarily whether it's Bush, Clinton, or whomever. When Clinton made a decision I didn't think was the greatest one to join the mess in Serbia and Bosnia, I supported the action because once the decision is made, supporting the mission is what counts. Continuing to undermine the decision serves only to embolden the enemies and lower the morale of our troops. I didn't think Bush's decision to go into Iraq at the time he did was particularly well-grounded either, but since he made the decision and sent our troops into battle, I support him, and them.

Those who claim to be supporting the troops while incessantly carping about Bush are no better than backstabbing traitors. Once the duly elected President makes a decision of that magnitude, whether you voted for him or not, it becomes incumbent to support that decision and do everything in your power to make sure the right side wins.

Answer 3

It would take an actual crime, not the tired "he lied us into war" crap. Bush acted upon intel that he was given. Another instance would be passing a bill that directly hurts the American people. So far Bush has done an adequate job. The only think I wish he would do is to stop pandering to the liberal crowd.

Answer 4

I supported him each and each of ways, didnt agree together with his imaginitive and financial financial policies. The Q is, did ppl oppose Bush by using wars or did they oppose the wars by using fact of Bush?

Answer 5

I don't support Bush.
He is too liberal on the social issues.

Answer 6

Has nothing to do with loyality. I want the United States of America to deal with terrorist. I want the United States to deal with them where they live. I want less government involvement in my life. I abhor abortion, I abhor using the tax payers money to pay for stem cell research, when the drug companies will get rich when they find the cures, or drugs that become of it. I want to pay less taxes, I want people to be held responsible for their lives, and not look to the government to solve their problems. Has nothing to do with loyality. My question is why don't you want these things?

Answer 7

The end of his term. Or, until libs get another stupid life and shut up about it.

Answer 8

If his agenda suddenly morphed into Hillary Clinton's he would lose my support permanently.

Answer 9

I would stop supporting him if he flip-floped every time the polls changed. at least he sticks to what he believes is best.

Answer 10

There were a lot of Republicans that stood behind Nixon, too.
