why was Bush re-elected?

Because he rigged the eVoting machines. Search for eVoting on Y!News and you'll find evidence of that.\n\nI'm to young to vote, but I would have voted against him could I have voted.

no one really chose him, haven't you figured that out? He rigged it both times. The good thing is that he can't be elected again, the bad thing is that they can just rig it again.

Because we voted in a weak man into a powerful position. When you think President of the United Sates you think of an classy educated well spoken fearless leader who leads the people by example. Bush would not put himself or his same class family members into a war situation but will gladly send hundreds of thousands of men, women and young adults into. 18 year old kids are returning home seriously injured, hurt and dead both emotionally and physically. Their families changed forever and lives altered for eternity.

You question assumes that he was elected the first time around. I disagree. He was selected. Second time...his cronies owned and built the voting machines,and Kerry was a shallow puppet douche. Add it up, it was rigged. I hate Bush. I assume that you hate Bush. 69% of the country hates Bush. And the rest of the whole world hated Bush. ABASSO IL RE! (Italian, not Spanish. For all you little bigots out there clenching your teeth and shaking your little fists, there is a difference.)

Here are the reasons why Bush should not have been reelected.\n\nGeorge W. Bush had been a busy boy during the years 2000-2004. Because his Administration's policies are so radical and his attempts to change our country so far-reaching, it is sometimes difficult to remember them all. Here's a summary of why Bush and his gang of bloodthirsty corporate goons must go; voters may take them along to the polls to help them cast their ballots.\n\n1. He stole the 2000 election. Voting to "reelect" an illegitimate commander-in-chief who seized power by judicial coup d'état is a tacit endorsement of how he got into the White House in the first place. How the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Bush v. Gore is irrelevant. As a federal court, the five runaway Supreme Court justices had no right to agree to hear the case. Under our system of government, elections--and election disputes--fall under state jurisdiction. Their decision to take the case, the way they fixed the outcome in Bush's favor, and Bush's willingness to assume the presidency extraconstitutionally are outrages that no patriotic American, even if they agree with his policies, can forgive.\n\n2. He politicized 9/11. During the early days after the attacks on New York and Washington, a stunned nation came together to mourn, and to assess the motivations of the 19 men who despised us so much they were willing to commit suicide as mass murderers to drive home the point. Rather than channel our newfound solidarity into positive initiatives, however, Bush used 9/11 to push for the USA Patriot Act, fast-track signing authority on free trade, tax cuts for the wealthy, lax regulations for polluters and a multitude of items from the partisan Republican Party wish list. He portrayed Democrats and others who disagreed with him as un-American traitors.\n\n3. He let the terrorists get away while giving them a payraise. The 9/11 hijackers were Egyptians and Saudis recruited by an Egyptian group, Islamic Jihad, with funding from Saudi Arabia and Pakistan, some of whom received training at camps which were mostly in Pakistan, all of which were funded by Pakistani secret intelligence. Osama bin Laden, who may have funded all or part of the operation via Al Qaeda, was in Pakistan on 9/11. So who does Bush go after? Afghanistan, at best a back lot of Pakistani-backed Islamists and Iraq--which had nothing to do with 9/11. And what does he do about our real enemies in Pakistan, Egypt and Saudi Arabia? He sells them more weapons. Egypt becomes the second largest recipient of U.S. foreign aid after Israel, collecting over $2 billion annually. Pakistan, ruled by a pro-Taliban general who jailed and tortured his democratically elected predecessor, is encouraged to develop its nascent nuclear capabilities. The 3,000 victims of 9/11 remain unavenged--and the stage is set for future attacks.\n\n4. He murdered nearly 100,000 people. The war in Afghanistan killed at least 10,000 civilians and 20,000 Afghan soldiers (of which 10,000 were POWs allegedly massacred by Northern Alliance soldiers as U.S. Special Forces troops supervised the slaughter.) As of three weeks after the fall of Baghdad, General Tommy Franks estimated Iraqi dead at 30,000 civilians and 30,000 Iraqi soldiers, men who were fighting to defend their country from a hostile invasion army. At least 10,000 more civilians and 5,000 Iraqi resistance soldiers have died since then. Neither Afghanistan nor Iraq have anything to do with the war on terrorism, which has yet to start. Both wars were waged to expand American military and economic hegemony and Dick Cheney's policy of "total energy dominance" over oil and natural gas resources. The world would be safer if Charles Manson, a mere amateur killer by comparison, were released and Bush was sitting in prison.\n\n5. He bankrupted the treasury. When Bush took the oath of office in January 2001, the U.S. Congressional Budget Office projected a surplus of $5 tr

He got George W. Bush elected to the Presidency of the United States twice.\n\nI liken that to winning the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness with a plow horse.\n\nI hate him but he is very effective.

George Bush, because he is a complete idiot who cannot run a country yet he was able to win re-election.  He must be a good politician.

We initially invaded Iraq because they had WMDs \nWe couldn't find any WMDs so now we are there to " liberate them"\nIt is possible to love America and disagree with the president. After all he is just a man.\nDemocracy gives us the right to disagree with our politicians.\nThe vote gives us the right to vote them out of office.
