People who voted for Bush in 2004?

Question

Knowing what you know now, would you have changed your vote, and if not why, other then blatant partisanship

Even with the numerous lies from him and his adminstration, I find it hard to believe that people put up with liars the way they do

Answer 1

Might as well not even have asked, Matt. As is made obvious by most of the answers here, Anybody who was stupid enough to vote Bush to begin with doesn't have enough perspective to view the world without blatant partisanship. They couldn't see the spiraling debt or energy inflation or needless distractions from the real war on terror before; They couldn't see that the administration would have taken any excuse (WMD's were just the easiest one because there had been some there once upon a long ago time) for their war of choice. Why would they be able to see what an idiot Bush has been, Even after he's been moreso in the second term; Now-?!

Answer 2

I would not have changed my vote.

Talk about BLATANT PARTISANSHIP! The demoncrats had a chance to handle this issue the first time the WTC was attacked. But since Clinton was more interested in sex than in America, the FBI was into lying, and the CIA into 'croynism' and sabotage, the demoncrats left America in a weaken state open to terrorism. Bravo...job well done!

Stop moaning and complaining about your loss to Bush. Gore is going around the country lying about global warming. Bush got rid of the worst WMD, Hussein. Bush kept terrorist attacks out of your backyard. No wonder you haven't said 'thank you.'

What an ungrateful citizenry.

Answer 3

I am still a supporter of President Bush having voted for him both times. the real issue most people have is the war in Iraq.
The reason we are there, was because every major Intel agency in the world was convinced that Saddam had WMD's.
It was also known that he had links to Hamas a known terrorist organization-(he paid the familys of suicide bombers). At the end of the day Saddam did not want the world to know he had no WMD's-for after having his military vastly weaked after Gulf War 1-the then Iraqi military felt that the threat of WMD's was what was keeping the then much stronger Iranian army from finishing the Iran Iraq war. As far as President Bush went to ignore that kind of threat analysis post 911 would have been criminal negligence. In honesty, I think President Bush has read history and did not want to make the same mistake Neville Chamberlain made with Hitler's Germany. (In the 30's turning a blind eye to the rise of Nazi Germany resulted in the deaths of 10,000,000 eurpoeans.) As far as the measure of the man, he came back to D.C. agains the advice off the Secret Service saying you can't lead from a bunker. If anyone has ever seen "Independance Day" there is a scene in the movie where the President tells his general-"I'm a combat pilot, I belong in the air". George Bush I could imagine saying the same thing under the same circumstances. I do not mean to demean him, but I would say Al Gore would have said "get me to a bunker, I'm the president-or Clinton for that matter. I think George Bush is a principled man who is willing to stand and take the heat for the decisions both good and bad that he makes. I guess the thing that bothers me most about the Bush bashers is that I think very few of them would have the cajones to do the right things as opposed to the politically correct thing. Most of what I've read appalls me, I've lived under a variety of democratic and republican administrations, so good, some not so good and never thought about being disrespectful if not to the man then to the office. All the Monday morning quarterbacks out there, haven't a clue. Why do you think even the democratic candidates for example have said we are going to be in Iraq--it's because that's one of those decisions that is hard to make and hard to follow but the only reasonable decision to make. To many of you Bashers out there want immediate gratification and are willing to cut your nose off to spite your face.

Answer 4

no I would have never voted for Kerry, we would be in horrible trouble, he would have brought the fight to our own soil and we who knows what would happen.

I like him because he is strong in his convictions, liberals can call him arrogant, or stubborn but that's just because they want him to buckle down, and they are mad they he won't do everything they want to, and so like usual they act like kids and throw temper tantrums when Dems don't get their way.

They can call him dumb but how many of them have a Bachelors from Yale and a Masters from Harvard. They might be mad because everyone knows all the rich liberals go to Harvard and Yale. Yes there are rich Dems and poor Republicans eventhough some people are too wrapped up into sterotypes to believe it.

I wonder why people think they know more than General Petrayus who is on the lines, or more than the people with all the information, those people are the ones who should be referred to as arrogant.

Answer 5

no. The only reason I voted for Jorge is described in two word GORE and KERRY.

If the democrats has put a reasonable candidate in, I might have voted for a Dem and I am a strong Conservative that almost always votes for the GOP candidate.

I voted for the lesser of two evils!

Answer 6

I would vote for him again. I knew what I was doing when I voted for him the last two times, and I know why I would do it again. The only reason I would not have voted for Bush again would be if Ronald Reagan had been running.

Answer 7

Dina refuses to vote for Kerry, who served his country with honor and distinction in the Vietnam War.

She would prefer to vote for Bush, to cut off her nose to spite her face, apparently.

Look, I agree that John Kerry would not have been a very good president. But hey, he would have been immeasurably better than Chimpy McFlightsuit!

Answer 8

And what voted for John Kerry?

No way. If the Democrats had picked a better candidate I would of considered it.... but John Kerry... are you kidding.

The man who said, if you do not do well in school then you end up in the Army is not a man I would want as Commander in Chief.

Answer 9

No I would not have changed. I voted for bush and believe that he made the right decisions on the information he was given. He has the balls to stand up for what other presidents ignored.

Answer 10

I would have, But I would not have voted for Kerry , not on your life!
