Why did so many people vote to re-elect Bush when they know what kind of a**hole he is?

I think maybe it was some kind of "you don't change horses in the middle of the stream" mentality...kind of like why we kept re-electing FDR during WWII. It's too bad Katrina didn't hit in 2004 so everyone could see what a bunch of incompetent ninnies his administration was made up of BEFORE the election.

They're afraid of being seen as responsible for putting the worst president ever into the White House.  The fact that they feel such guilt now is a very good sign.  Maybe even those who voted for Bush recognize that the country is headed in the wrong direction.

I think all those who voted for him the second time, and not the first time should realize the grave error of their choice. He has failed a majority of Americans both domestically and internationally. This is not Bush bashing at all. He had the whole country behind him after 9-11. He could have possibly been the great es president in the modern history of the United States but his evangelical policies have not only hurt his reputation but America's image. \nI would like to think that he is a good fella in person, but America and the world does not operate according to "cowboy" politics. \nI hope those who blindly voted for this administration recognize one thing. People are dying in Iraq, both Americans and Iraqis for a war that was initiated for weapons of mass destruction. The world knew there was no WMD in Iraq, maybe elsewhere, but not Iraq. This is a scar in World History and will be written in history books. The future generations to come will tell us one day: "This looked like Vietnam all over again"\n\nGod Bless America!

70% OF AMERICA THINKS OTHERWISE.  \n\nDO YOU REALISE WHAT THAT MEANS??  THAT MEANS A CRAP LOAD OF PEOPLE THAT VOTED FOR HIM NOW REGRET IT!!

They hate him for his incompetence and shrewd methods. Many think Al Gore would have done a better job since he would focus on the american way of life via the environment and the socail status. I think they voted for George Bush because people like to have someone for a leader that they can critisize, such as John Howard, he is as goofy as hell and yet he is always voted for.

Agreed. To elect him once was foolhardy - to elect him twice defies logic. The world and thousands of innocents are reaping the fruits of the American publics stupidity.

It seems that those on Bush's side are retarded. They wallow in ignorance and refuse to acknowledge the destructiveness of their beliefs that are responsible for the evental collapse of this country. Sooner or later, they'll either wake up and realize that they are responsible for much of this country's problems or die out from killing each other.

well, the majority of them don't.  The chance of the exit polls being wrong in Florida, Pa, and Ohio is 16 million to one\n(they showed Kerry winning in a landslide) so the majority of Americans wanting Bush but the rep secretary of state in Ohio, and republican owned voting machines rigged it for Bush.\n\nThose that do vote for Bush tend to be religious right thinking the reps actually do something about abortion besides rhetoric and using it for votes and who forget the liberal teachings of Jesus substituting their own beliefs thinking they are being good Christians rather than hypocrites or sincere people who are misguided or not openminded, rich people, people who think they have a shot at the American dream, people who hate helping people with social programs, hypocrites, etc.  Some are moderate reps unhappy with the neocons but who can't bring themselves to vote for a liberal. Some are in the habit of it thinking today's reps are like those of old which they aren't.  Many of them hate the poor and are excessively into war and fear.

Well, people have their heads shoved so far up their a*ses they will never see the light of day again. Some moron that's creating so much dissention with people around the world it will take decades or more to fix it was voted in again. I know John Kerry wasn't the best other option, but anyone has to be better than dimwitted Bush. Yet, these morons, our brothers, sisters, fathers, mothers, friends and others voted for him. It's sad. So sad.

the smart ones don't keep sending inept people to be president. But when you have enough $$money and are willing to sell your soul to the devil, you get to be president (Bush), it does not really matter anymore how one votes.\nThere is so much corruption in Washington, and it starts at the very top..................

The people didn't choose Bush. The damn election was rigged! (I would have voted for him anyway because I thought he would do better for America than Kerry. So I was wrong.)

The people don't want honesty or someone who says and votes what they believe over what people want or along party lines on issues, these are the qualities everyone hates in Bush. If you really think about it with your brain and think critically Bush is just a good ol' boy from Texas who does what he believes is honest and is best for this country regardless of what people want or think. Most people would never vote these two in together. I don't believe niether could win their party's primary either.

That's an easy. President Bush has screwed up over and over, but the Republicans don't see it that way. It has been proved time after time that Bush is a screw up, but yet Democrats and others get blamed. So to answer your question, it's all just a game that Politicians play with the people and as always they fall for it. It's easier to blame someone else than to admit your an idiot to the people.

Probably because so many of them are afraid that Karl Rove will go after them.  That, and they used to be afraid for the safety of their Congressional seats; some of them are now tip-toe-ing away from Bush because they are up for election, and they have the sense that some of their voters are smarter than they are...
