Do the enemies of America wish Bush could run for a third term?

I would think they would.  We are the laughing stock of the world now thanks to him.  We have fallen to an all time low.  Wait until the Chinese and the Japanese pull in their markers.  25% of our National debt is owned to them. \nIf they don't call it in, in the future, they will loan money to countries that have a better future.

It depemds. What if we had the best president America has ever had? He only gets 2 terms. He makes some fantastic changes that all Americans just love. Then some screwball comes along and messes it all up.

It will take many, many years.  We have lost the respect of the world and our word means nothing.  When Bush told all of his lies to get us into this war for profit, he spoke on behalf of the American people.  When he was allowed to steal a second term in office, it appears that we accept this man and therefore are okay with the way he does business.  The only thing that could be worse is to sit idly by and accept another rethuglican to finish the job that the current thug started.  PLEASE VOTE A STRAIGHT DEMOCRATIC TICKET and take at least 5 unregistered voters to get registered and drive them to the polls!!! America cannot afford another 8 years with that party in control and frankly unless you are wealthy or absolutely insane, how could any moral person go along with this current president, his administration and the party that supports his thuggery.  Sorry for the rant.....  Peace

If the Presidents Party is in Power when he takes office, The Opposition party will win.  Usually this happens in his First Term.\nHappened with Reagan, And with Clinton.  It didn't happen with Bush during his first term because, it was to near to 9/11. The country wanted stability, and didn't change parties at that time.\n\nJim W. TSK TSK TSK,  You Dish It, But You Can't Take It. I have seen more useless hate spewing from the liberal posters on YA! than any other Group.  If we could all start working for what is right and start respecting each other.  The Partisian BS is what has Kept this country on the wrong path. Democrat and Republican, should be working for the common good. Not what is best for That little "d" beside your canidates name.\n'Nuff said.

While it's not clear whether Americans would be willing to put another Bush in the White House, the late-night comedians are salivating over the prospect:\n\n"Florida Gov. Jeb Bush says he wants to be president. Well that's good, somebody will have to pardon his brother." —David Letterman\n\n"Rumor is that President Bush's brother, Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, may run for president. Rumor is? According to Florida voting machines, he's already won." —Jay Leno

Bush did not run in this Election. It was not a Presidential election.  He cannot run in the next Presidential, because he is limited to 2 terms in office, and he is in his 2nd term now.

Of COURSE all the enemies of America are evil countries ruled by evil dictators bent on destroying the world but must be stopped at all costs by TEAM AMERICA!!\n\n\n\n\nGod no.  I hate the way Americans look at their enemies.  Especially the ignorant youth who have been sooo indoctrinated into 'the system' that they believe it.

It would be nice, but no. These two parties are too powerful and have too much money for a third party to compete. They will try, as they have in the past, but they won't succeed. I don't like to believe that any vote is "wasted" but I do believe that voting for the third party just increases the chances of getting someone like Bush in office again. I find it apalling that anyone could still support this man or the Republican party after all they have done to damage our country.\n\nI have voted for a third party in the past, but as I've grown older I realize that it just did more damage than good, so I will remain a democrat. The only way I would vote for a 3rd party again would be if I saw (through the polls) that the person running clearly had a chance, and if they ran on a platform I could really support.\n\nBut don't ever not vote. Don't ever believe that your vote doesn't count. We have a responsibility to vote for the person we believe should be in office, even if you do vote for a third party candidate.

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.

YES!!!  I agree with you that it should be a priority, but it wont happen--it would've happened already.  If we let him stay after the Florida debacle and the Ohio debacle, they arent going to remove the administration any time soon.  Doesnt matter who gets elected.  I agree that it could restore confidence around the world, but they already hate us and our arrogance, I dont think much will change that.  Will never happen.

Actually, I disagree with the first two posts. Bush has had much more power during his term. If Clinton did half of the things Bush has done during his Presidency, Clinton would have been lynched.\n\nTo answer the question, IMO I would like to see a "smarter President" take office. And no, I don’t think any President should have the power to steal an election, send a country to war under false pretences and force their greedy agenda on the country they are supposed to serve.

I see no reason to vote again for someone who has failed us in so many ways.\nOne reason for not allowing third terms is to avoid the obvious advantage an incumbent has in the voting process. Whether democratic or republican, the incumbent has far greater access to the press, and has in place the "spoils" of the presidency in terms of placements of officials and others at all levels of society, and connections to all the right places that help promote the president's message. \nThe longer in power, the more power tends to accumulate, and ultimately to be abused.

That could never happen, but if it could I would never.  first of all look what he has been doing to our country.  He has been killing soldiers, wasting money, and no wonder why everyone else hates americans.  Look how quick he is to react and help people in his own country (the way he handled katrina hurricane).  Look with the last two nominations for supreme judges, which had a huge impact and they will decide what laws and news laws will happen over their life time.  And bush will be long gone but they will still be affecting the country.  Now look what he wants to do with the american ports and have another country own and run them.  I just hope its not too late that he won't ruin us for good.  As i know the next 2 or 3 presidents will have one heck of a mess to clean up.  Just hope Democrats will win and get majority control.  That's my 2 cents.

No. Bush doesn't run the White House, Cheney and Rumsfeld run the White House. Our current president is easily manipulated by these right-wing hawks.\n\nFor more information, read "The Rise of the Vulcans" by James Mann. It describes in intricate detail about how all of these guys have been intertwined in Washington politics for the past 20-25 years.
