Why did the American people vote for George W Bush TWICE?

Question

I can understand the first time was a mixture of innocence and corruption (the Miami vote rig etc) but the second time?

Answer 1

Most Americans are idiots........ twice over.

Answer 2

I can ask the same of Bill Clinton. The first time was a party split with Ross Perot in the race but the second time was just nuts.
It is refreshing to see you Democrats all in an uproar over it. We Republicans didn't throw such a tantrum when Clinton was President twice. You progressives are so amusing.
I voted for President Bush because he is a Republican, I always vote Republican. All throughout the Cold War the Democrats did everything they could to lose to the Soviet Union, I would support anyone who opposes a Democrat.
To me, Democrats are traitors. It is a character flaw I can never forgive.

Answer 3

hi! WHMADO. My innovations President Bush is doing the appropriate activity he knows how. He has made judgements for which he thinks are the appropriate for the country on the prospect of not with the ability to thrill something of the country. What human beings ought to remember is that united statesa. became minding its very own company whilst it got here decrease than attack on 9/11. This president has carried out an excellent activity from letting it ensue back on homestead soil. I understand human beings are afraid yet concern won't save a terrorist attack from hitting the country back quicker or later. Alert electorate loose from concern and appreciate for defense tension and government will!!. i think human beings ought to vote for uncomplicated sense concern fixing devises . If human beings vote with emotional innovations the country is in concern. do not look on the guy look on the message. President Bush has stored the country so a tactics from attack. the adaptation is a few human beings might particularly be take care of than loose. it fairly is extra advantageous to be loose than take care of. President Bush has carried out an excellent yet difficult activity. Take care!

Answer 4

Because Bush and his campaign are made up of political salesmen. They gloss over the truth to create sound bytes that they can repeat over and over so that eventually people accept it as fact.

He also won the first election because of the structure of the electoral college. As for the second, John Kerry lost a lot of steam and really didn't seem like the best candidate near the end. He didn't appear to have much passion or conviction, and overall he seemed bland. Bush's rallying cries and personal attacks steamrolled him into the fetal position. I still think Howard Dean could have been considerably better than Kerry.

Answer 5

Because George W Bush prays every day! And he's a good Christian and talks and listens to God!
I, as a voter, trust people who talk down to me like I'm a 3 or 4 year old and he's scolding me if I start to make mistakes like thinking for myself.
I believe that WMD's were hauled away to Syria, Libya, Egypt, or somewhere before the inept inspectors could catch them. They were moved out of empty warehouses with empty trucks as shown to me and the rest of the world by Colin Powell while speaking in front of the United Nations.
Many WMD's were hidden under massive concrete slabs in the desert.
I like being told that if I believe otherwise that I'm being mean to the fighting combat troops and assisting the terrrrrrists.
I listen to Bush Bimbaugh to get my political views, and or Rush Bush, or whatever!
Thanks

Answer 6

In 2000 Bush ran as a moderate conservative, which is attractive to many Democrats as well as his Repulican base. I think Gore was a better candidate, but Bush didn't seem too bad. The Florida election was quite obviously stolen as many black voters were barred from voting. In 2004, Bush seemed pretty bad, but honestly Kerrey didn't offer anything different. I didn't bother to vote because I didn't like either one, and I didn't see that either one was the lesser of two evils. They were about equal. Both a couple of liars. I'm guessing that some people just flipped a coin when deciding who to vote for.

Answer 7

Alzheimers is a terrible thing, especially when it happens to a nation.

Honestly, they voted for Bush for two very good reasons:

1. Bush scared the crap out of everyone and the people bought it hook, line and sinker. If you believed everything you heard coming out of the White House, then there were more terrorists under rocks in the US waiting to strike than in the entire Middle East.

2. Kerry didn't win over the voters.

Answer 8

In the 2000 election: Albert Gore Jr. won the popular vote with 50,999,897 votes; Bush got only 50,456,002. The country was divided. But the republican electoral vote was higher than the democratic. Red beat blue in electoral.

Laws need to be changed. The electoral college is a debatable issue. ***If every vote counts-the popular vote should override the electoral vote***. Write your local senators ask them to work on changing the law.

I believe In 2004 the Swift Vets for Truth (Swift Boaters) smeared Kerry unfairly with several videos. It crushed his campaign. It crushed the hopes of voters who couldn't imagine another Bush term.

Now there are spoofs of Swift Kids for truth with messages about some of the current candidates. If you haven't seen them yet, check out the 236 link below. They are worth watching. If you haven't got a laugh yet today, you will if you watch them.

Before the 2008 election is over, I'm sure we will see more brutal smear campaigns. It's the nature of politics.

Answer 9

I can only speak for myself, not the other 49 million + who also did, but I believe he was the better man both times.

Answer 10

And why did they elect Clinton twice?

It's still an unsolved mystery on both accounts.

Answer 11

because he was up against two crappy candidates proposing crappy policies that would have ruined this nation within a two week period.

The electorial college is fine. In fact, it saved this nation from recount after recount in every district in the country.

And the so called Swift boat "smear" was simply the men who served with kerry telling the truth about his service. And it was effective because every single day Kerry came out with a different story on his service. He made vietnam an issue. He attacked the troops when he got home. He lost because he wouldnt stop pandering and wouldnt bother explaining why the eye witness accounts of multiple other people differed so greatly from his own.
