There is a light and it never goes out

I voted for bush both times over the liberal socialists that the democrats were trying to put into power.

I didn't care for him much but had no choice.

There were supreme court justices and the UN and gun laws that were on the horizon.

Bush has been a good thing... rolled back all the gun bans and put in the protection of commerce act that protected gun manufacturers from frivolous lawsuits just as the small aircraft industry had been in the past protected because the democrats wouldn't do it.

Bush put in two supreme court justices that are constituionalists... this is worth whatever else Bush may do that is maybe too tax and spend socialist.

The gun grabbers have not even tried for 6 years...  that is great.  A chance to relax for a while.

Appointed John Bolton to the UN... Kerrie would have appointed some UN leg humper.

rolled back some taxes...

The only serious thing I have against him is the Patriot act... this is evil.

I also am not fond of how he is dealing with the illegal alien problem but realize that any democrat in power would do far worse.

and yep... the democrats are all for the big power grab as "environmentalists"  the "war on global warming"   the republicans use the patriot act to take away our rights but the environmentalists use the EPA...

You can use the environment to justify any abridgement of freedoms and... they do... it is the new IRS with no accountability and limitless power.

The democrats don't want nuke plants and won't allow refineries to be built or offshore drilling or anwar....

Yet.. they scream that the republicans aren't doing enough..

The democrats in my state want to tax oil companies because they ran out of tobacco money...  then fast food... then.... all food... we are too fat they say and the only solution is to take our money away and give it to the illegals so that they can get more illegals to vote for em.

On a side note, did you know that after the Bush tax cuts, government tax revenues are at an all time high?

Aslo:

Unemployment is lower than it's been in 4 decades.

Gas prices low, interest rates low, consumer spending good, stock market at all time high. Nearly 7 million jobs created since August 2003.

Also under Bush, we got John Roberts and Sam Alito on the Supreme Court.
I dont agree with Bush on a lot of issues, but he's done a great job on the issues that matter most to me. The Dems would have destroyed the country after 911.


Now look at what Gore and Kerry ran on: Bush can't create jobs and is ruining the economy. LOL! Those lying sacks of crap known as liberals can go suck an egg eat carp.

Dont forget to mention that the deficiet is dropping at an amazing rate.  Bush stated that he wanted to cut the deficiet in half by 2009, and they are something like 3 years ahead of schedule.

Dems, libbies and the MSP aren't fond of mentioning that either.

And a "well said" to Mace2004 and Lazs2.

I'm not clapping my hands, but I voted for Bush because l believed he would be a little less damaging to the country than any liberal Democrat.  Both times.

If so inclined, say why you did.

It's confusing to me. I'm dumbfounded.

Step up. Explain it.

Lack of any other realistic option

Rob!  Hey Hey!


I'm still around bud.  Moved to So. Cal for a few months but am back in N. Canton again.

How you doing?

Nash, I think that for many people it's not so much a choice, as it is a total lack of one. Some people would rather take a poison pill than vote democrat. To them, that vote signifies the end of the free market, the onset of socialism, the end of good old American values, etc.... There may be credibility to this, there may not. To those people, that poison pill was GW. To these same people, the fact that he went into Iraq to impose American values created appeal in 2004 where there was little or none in 2000.

Your question therefore has a built in answer. Why did people vote for GW? Because he ran. They would have voted for anyone running in that slot. Anything but a liberal.

GW's bible thumping and sanctimonious nation-building, however, has changed a lot of people--opened their eyes to the ugliness of brainless self-indulgence, hubris and maniacal ego-centrism. I am one of those people.

I voted for him in 2000 but didn't make the same mistake the second time around.

Voted for Bush in 00 Cause I didnt like Gore

Voted for Bush in 04 cause I didnt see Kerry as the "viable alternative"
Basicaly their policies would have put us i the exact same place as today and Kerry never did say what his "plan" was.

While I have always maintained I didnt particularly like Bush.
If I had it to do over again.
Given the same circumstances
I would.

Next election I am probably voting independent.
Or will abstain out of disgust.

We are in Dire need of an overthrow in this country.
Not of the system or form of government.
Just of the people in it.

Wipe it out clean and start over freash

Hhm, it's not like I'm going to agree with most of this stuff... big surprise there... but these have been some very well expressed answers... and I appreciate it.

[Black Sheep]

I shudder to think what Gore or Kerry would have done had they won. Most likely: nothing
