Why people vote for Bush ?
553770
People voted for Bush the second time around because he ran a very successful and effective propaganda campaign. People believed he did a good job leading the country after 9/11 and they wanted to keep that going. Then he showed his true colors during the second term because he knew he didn't have to win another election. Now his ratings are dropping lower and lower. \n\nThe first time people voted for Bush because he presented himself as a centrist not the far right fanatic that he is. Most Americans are centrists and not far right or far left. Keep in mind that Bush did not win the popular vote. He won the electoral vote only the first time around. If it wasn't for 9/11 happening, I don't think he would have won the second time.

Because they refuse to accept the fact that Bush has done a lot of good things for this country.\nA lot of people accept this because it's the only side they get from the mainstream media.

Bush's popularity has dropped dramatically since his proposal to Iraq invasion. But still there are advocates behind him supporting his action and administration. Remember he got his second term of presidency voted by us. Good chances are this is his last term in the white house. Bush dynasty is going to be over soon.

Because the minority of Americans who actively support the Democrats or Republicans are fucking stupid.\n\nMost people who vote are not actually supporting either party, but are trying to stop the other party form gaining power.  That is also very fucking stupid, as both parties are going to do the same damn crap to the USA.\n\nIf all those in the US who dislike either of the main parties all united, and demanded and voted for a real change (the libertarian party for example, a party in touch with the root causes of the rise of the USA) it would scare the shit out of the evil elite. but then the evil elite know full well the average dumb yank is never gonna figure that out and keep acting like a turkey voting for christmas.\n\nMost people can't be bothered doing anything about the fact that the private companies that have hijacked your voting systems, (with electronic auditless touch-screen voting systems), totally stole the election for Bush. You don't even get the president you voted for. Not that Kerry would have been any better. He wouldn't. the USA people should vote for someone else.

That's right! But you forgot to tell them to go screw a goat while they're at it. \n\nAnd more of us voted for Bush than voted for Kerry. There's a lot more Bush supporters than people realize, but they get tired of being shouted down by the whacked out liberals who don't like him.

Most Americans do NOT like George Bush!  Most didn't even VOTE for him!  He's crooked and he doesn't care about anybody who isn't filthy rich like he is.\n\nThere are plenty of things wrong with America, you just don't know.

where to start? could it be because 90% of all americans do not have a Passport- - so they are all well cultured then. Could it be because America is the ONLY place where the Terminator could become a politician. Or could it be because your powers are mixed leading to an unrepresentative state. (Montesquieu)\n\nBasically - the people of America voted for Bush. and now look what has happened. all for oil - you do realise that dont you. The USA needs to be bigger and better than everyone. whether we are talking big macs or WMDs.\n\nBush can spend billions killing people on a daily basis in Iraq, but when katrina hit, the fool didnt know where to look. And Blair is just as bad. Nuff said.\n\noh yeah one more point - Guatanamo Bay.

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.

When candidates present a certain persona while campaigning, one develops an opinion of them by assuming they are truthful.  Bush made a lot of promises and told a lot of lies, but later renegged on everything and made some bad decisions.  Therefore, the ones who did not vote for him are very disgusted with him and those who did want him for president are finding out he is not a good one.

Because liberals can't argue issues without attacking someone's character. All they can say is Bush sucks and that they hate him but they can't come up with a issue that people can get behind and vote FOR. "Vote for me because Bush sucks" didn't work for the election in '04 and will not work in '08. (Actually, I don't think liberals realize that Bush isn't on the ballot in '08 but they keep attacking him like he is - it proves how out of it they really are)

I am a Republican but I never voted for BUSH or any of the other cronies in office.\nI like what my republican affiliation stand for but not the power hungry politician it is backing. It is a sad day in the USA when we have no one GOOD to vote for. People did not really look at the man Bush was. Instead they looked at his father and did not look behind the big smile and warm words. How can us Americans be conned so easily?\nBush is a spoon-fed brat (sorry no disrespect intended just the truth). He never did anything out of the Safe box. He was protected through out life by his parents, given everything, he neveer worked a hard day in his life, never knew pain. He says he is religious but instead he is a biggot. He does not practice what he preaches.\nHe stands on a platform of an aircraft carrier for political gain while our military men and women are still fighting and dieing in a WAR he started. And believe me it had nothing to do with NYC. \n\nI believe in the old saying "that what goes around comes around" and bad energy that you give out comes back to you three fold. He will see soon.

People who voted for Bush seem to have done so because of their self-righteous-"Clinton is an adulterer"- piety.  Alas, I long for the days when our biggest concern was whether our president received oral sex.  It was simpler times.\n\nYou see what happens when we let the self-righteous decide who becomes president?\n\np.s. \nUnemployment is low, but the gap between the rich and poor is ever increasing because the types of jobs that are being created are service jobs and not the kind of jobs that allow you to improve your situation.

it is probably good more people voted in 2004, and they did. this caused bush to win easier.

Yes. Beleive it or not people bush has a huge following in middle America. And he is pro religion and pro guns. And he plays to the older generation, the generation that goes and votes the most. 39-60 age groups. These are the highest percentage of voters in American.

I can't speak to why other Americans voted for George Bush.  However, I can say why *I* voted for Bush.\n\nI feel like the Democratic Party is the wrong choice for this country.  As a police officer, the people I deal with the *most* are people who are living off of welfare.  \n\nI see people on welfare that are living in houses nicer and bigger than mine.  They drive brand new cars.  They have *NO* gainful employment.  However, our government pays for their food, their housing, and their medical care.\n\nThese people make no attempts to get jobs.  They brag about the fact that they live in "free" housing.  They get offended if you suggest they need to get a job.\n\nThey accuse me of being racist because I don't like the fact they get a free ride.  They say the government owes them what they are getting.\n\nThe Democratic Party continues to cater to these people.  You hear the democrats say all the time, "The republican party is the party of the rich.  They want to take your welfare away."  They are pandering to these people knowing that if they continue to give them a free ride, they'll continue to vote for them.\n\nSecondly, it seems like the democratic party will also champion the cause of anyone who will vote for them. \n\nI think the majority of Americans believe that abortion is wrong.  They also believe that declining social and moral values are wrong and contributing to the decline of this country.  The Democrats seem to not care and support those causes.  They seem to think that you should be able to do what you want without facing any consequences.\n\nThis is why I won't vote Democrat.  Yet, I'll be the first to say the economy is typically better under a Democratic president.
