What possessed anyone to vote for Bush?

Republicans don't think.  If someone is running as a Republican they vote for them.  It's why their symbol is an elephant.  Did you ever watch the elephants at a circus. They grab the tail of the elephant in the front and follow it without even thinking of where they are going.  This is what Republican voters do.  They don't think, they just grab the tail of the lead Republican and follow or vote for that person without even thinking of where they are going, like to a needless war in Iraq, hugh deficit spending,  hugh increase in gas prices,  more poverty, smaller middle-class, less people covered by hospitalization, etc.

Yes, i wasted my vote on Bush. I think its very important to vote, we gotta keep our elected officials accountable for decisions made.

I voted for kerry, kerry didnt win because ppl didnt think he was a strong person, he actually speaks whats on his  mind and can say i dont know, instead of bush whos pretends he knows everything, and ppl are ignorant and bush just seems like a homely down to earth guy, ppl were just intimidated by kerry because he actually seemed smart

You had to know that this question would bring the liberals out of the woodwork.  President Bush has done a great job. No president will please all of the people. I am amazed more at the hatred than anything else.  When I was reading the responses to your question, I found it interesting that many felt he had turned his back on them. When???   What do they want him to do?  Most importantly why not hold all of congress responsible for their votes and behavior, why pin it all on President Bush?  I do mean all of congress too, take a look at everyones voting records, I think some would be surprised.

I have read and heard all that you are asking about also. It is amusing because now when the subject of Bush comes up, everyone says, "I didn't vote for him."  Well, someone did. \n\nThere was a special on HBO about how the votes can be and probably have been tampered with in the last election. It is kind of scary. I like the hacker that laughed and said, "give me ten minutes on the computer and I will give George Bush's social security number."  \n\nMy hope is that in 2008 the Democrats return. I think we are long over due for a change. I think Barack Obama for President and Hillary Clinton for Vice President. What do you think????\n\nTo actually answer your question the answer is YES. I have also read and heard enough facts to convince me enough was played with to ALLOW him to become President.

Bush go in with rigged votes.  What proof do you want?

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.

For the same reason everyone says Bush is so dumb, yet he was elected president of our country!  Anyone who is paid close attention to is either loved or loathed it seems.

You must have been living with the Amish for the last 100 years! Are you just now figuring this out? It was the lobbyists that put George Bush into office the last two times. America never voted for him. The popular vote was over 50% against the Republican party.

He was voted in by a majority of the voters, doesn't that count for something in a democracy?\n\nHe is The President whether you like or not, it would be better if people were to support him or voice their views in a democratic fashion. \n\nNo where in the world, in autocracies, in communist countries and in dictatorships do we see people condemning their leaders even though they are worse than Bush.\n\nOnly in America...an election is choice, the result is a decision, respect that decision!

What makes you so important to think that Bush has any interest in you and your ignorant beliefs?

Because they voted for him....

I think that Bush cost us (republicans) the election. I think that people were voting against bush rather than for a canidate. THAT worries me. I am one of those people that, even though I am a republican at heart, I feel regardless of party affiliation, it should be whoever's best for the job. And I don't necessarily know if those voted WERE best. I just hope those elected PROVE to the country that the voters didn't make a mistake.

Anyone who ever voted for Bush shares the responsibility for his crimes and for WW-III, which he started all by himself.\n\nAnd anyone who would even now consider another vote for him (which happily is not possible) must be either braindead or one of his criminal cronies.

I must have missed the war vote on my ballot. People voted for change because they were not very happy with Mr. Bush's and his congress's policies. The war was the main policy people were voting against, there were many others. His spending for one. Corruption was another, four republican congressmen resigned in less than a year. The shadow of Jack Abramoff was everywhere. Gasoline hitting three bucks. Illegal immigration into our country. His dismissal of the constitution. Torture, and on and on. There were many reasons, the war was the big one.
