Is there any logical reason why any American Citizen of any Political Party would still support George W Bush?

Question

He has proven to not deserve even a modicum of respect.

I'm being as open as possiable with 3 "any's" In hope that he still has a miniscule of previously unobserved humanity.

Jon

I view the 1/2 million dead women and children in the Mideast as his meter of humanity.

John PPS

It is like a death in the commishion of a crime not just the shooter is charged; but all envolved.

The insurgent killings are the fruits of the evil planted by Bush's desire to "Get Saddam"

Elaine.

The simple fact that the founding fathers provided Impeachment in the constitution, establishes that respect is not mandatory but something to be earned.

He is not a King

Answer 1

I have family in Texas, and have heard lots of bad things about the Bush Family Mafia, never really liked their politics.
I like to think Fred Thompson can do a much better job. But, It's not the President, it's the talent he brings with him. Presidents really don't "do" that much, it's the people they appoint that you need to look into. I mean, Bush appointed Cheney and Rumsfield, that outta give you some clues right there. The good news is, this is GW's last term. Thank God for term limits!

PS. Please don't vote for Hillary, she is evil. She's a lawer and an un-professional politician.

PPS. In defense of Jon, Bush aint exactly killing people, the extremist are racking up a pretty good tally too. You also have to remember, If Saddam were still in power, how many people would he have killed by now? I'm one of the guys that had to drive past abandoned Kurdish villages were Saddam's troops had made the people "disappear". If each of the villages in my area had held 500 people, there were 32 empty villages just in our little area. You do the math.

Answer 2

Well, Bush's actions are directly against the stated goals of even the membership of the Republican Party. Fiscal conservatives, who advocate a free market, make up a large portion of the Republican Party, but Bush has not been a fiscal conservative. The Republican Congresses under Bush were far more wasteful than the Congresses under supposed "bleeding heart" liberals like Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter. Bush created the largest new entitlement program since the LBJ administration (Medicare Part D). Bush doubled the size of the Department of Education, an agency which Republicans have wanted to eliminate for decades. Bush also rejected the Republican position on issues like immigration.

As for the war and the civil liberties violations, the Democratic Party's opposition to them is mostly political (though most Democrats are sincere in their beliefs), just like the Republican Party's supposed support for Free Markets. The Iraqi Liberation Act, which declared that the US intended to achieve "regime change" in Iraq was signed by President Clinton, a Democrat. The only candidates running for president who voted against the original Iraq War resolution are Ron Paul and Dennis Kucinich, neither of whom are in the mainstream in their party (of course, they have also consistently voted against the war funding bills to continue the War as well, which the Democratic mainstream is unwilling to do). Most politicians of both parties voted for the Patriot Act despite the fact that it is a blatant violation of their oath of office to vote for it (only Russ Feingold voted no in the Senate; in the House 66 members, including both Paul and Kucinich voted no as http://clerk.house.gov/evs/2001/roll398.xml shows).

There is no logical reason why anybody should support any of the centrist politicians of either party. Bush is himself a 3rd generation member of the Rockefeller wing of the Republican Party (now known as the Neo-Cons, as the most prominent members of it these days are mostly part of that splinter group of nutcases that split from liberalism when Kennedy refused to start a nuclear war during the Cuban Missile Crisis). The only people who benefit from the current status quo of the Clinton Democrats and Bush Republicans are the special interests and the politicians themselves. America needs to start voting for people who recognize that torture, aggressive supposedly "pre-emptive" war, and Orwellian surviellance are immoral ideas that should have died out with the Dark Ages.

There are 2 poles in the political spectrum. They are not left and right, but rather totalitarianism (and the gas chamber that comes with it) and anarchism (and all the prosperity that comes through spontaneous order). Americans need to vote for politicians who seek progress toward anarchism instead of regression toward totalitarianism.

Answer 3

1) No recent attacks (thats 5 "any's" right there)
2) Unemployment is low (around 3%, not the lowest, but still pretty good)
3) Despite popular belief, he is fairly liberal finacially and conservative socially, gives him a nice even platform to an extent.
4) He is handling the enemy better than Carter or Clinton could ever dream (Clinton was a good pres still.... Carter though?)
5) (the kicker for me) He is NOT Kerry.
6) He understands Local, State and Federal responsibilities (Katrina, calling up the Gaurd wasn't his job)
Oh, you said 3. My bad

Answer 4

While I don't believe he is actively an inhumane person as you do, I have come to realize over the course of his presidency that the Republican party would've been better off if they would've picked someone who thinks about the bigger picture and not just the hear and now.

The Republican party has suffered a black eye the likes of which haven't been seen since Nixon was in office.

Answer 5

Then leave this country. He is still better than the alternatives were. Kerry or Gore? I dont think so!

Apparently you feel that when a peace loving muslim, drives into a crowded square and blows himself up and everyone close to him, that is Bush's fault? The muslims in Rome, or Bali? all bush's fault too?

I am just amazed at all the things in this world that Bush is able to Control. WOW!

Answer 6

There's a certain percentage of people who simply can not admit that they were wrong, and they will twist the truth in any way possible to fit their views rather than looking at all sides of an issue and judging objectively. Bush is one of those people, and most of his remaining supporters are that type as well. They've got an ideology to uphold and they don't want to be bothered with any problems.

Answer 7

Yes.

Look at the alternative leader if he and Cheney were impeached - Nancy Pelosi

Answer 8

Because he is the president and the office deserves respect. Oh, forget it...you just want to rant!

Answer 9

I would have to respectfully disagree. He is way too liberal and he refuses to enforce the border. At least it is nice to have someone who does what is best for the country, in his opinion, rather than whatever a poll says like we have in the Clintons.

Answer 10

To quote the supporters of a former Louisiana governor: "il est un de nous autres." The neocon/Christian coalition claims him as one of their own.
