Ok...Woodrow, Trauma and any Bush supporters can you explain sth to me?
Trauma-san:
I'll be happy to tell you why I voted for George Bush.
With me, first, it starts with just his general demeanor. How many times have we heard that he's a dumbass, that he isn't intelligent, that he's an idiot, he's a moron? Millions, by every liberal in the world. When I look @ Bush, I don't see that. I see a guy who is just a normal human being. He has the most important job in the world... but he's just as likely to poke fun at himself and say his wife is better at speeches than him... and he doesn't make everything politically correct. He doesn't suffer fools gladly... when a member of the press asks him a stupid trick question, you're just as likely to hear him call the guy on it, then you are to hear him state the obvious. He's funny, charming, and respectful to everybody I've seen him talk to, including John Kerry, his opponent. When asked in the debates if Kerry's problem was a character flaw, Bush refused to characterize it that way, saying that he thought they just disagreed and had different opinions, and instead of giving character flaws, told the moderator the things he ADMIRED, ABOUT HIS OPPONENT. That speaks volumes.
I do not, have not, and shall not believe conspiracy theories. When people hatch up a conspiracy theory, I usually roll my eyes and slam them for not taking responsibility for what they're trying to pass off as a conspiracy. MOST of the criticism that has been thrown @ the president often is part of some elaborate conspiracy theory putting everyone from Bush, Cheney, Haliburton, Saddam, Osama, and Israel in bed with each other. So while most of the criticism of Bush has focused on these wild conspiracies... none of it has hit home with me because I don't believe in conspiracies, in most cases.
I do not agree with the democrats that everyone in America is entitled to free health care, to free money if they don't earn any, to free food if they can't buy it. I don't believe we shoud let illegal immigrants have in state tuition costs, while charging good people from other states 4 or 5 times as much, simply because they're American. I don't believe in hardly ANYTHING the democratic party supports or pushes! Almost without fault.
President Bush believes the government takes too much of our money, and sent some of it back, and lowered taxes. Senator Kerry believes that we, the American people, aren't paying our fair share to run the government. I wholeheartedly disagree.
Senator Kerry voted for, against, and for, and against everything dealing with our foriegn policy, even after 9/11. He voted against measures to support our troops who were in harms way, and he voted FOR the war, then went around complaining about it, as if he wasn't part of the problem, one of the people that sent the President to Iraq in the first place. Kerry slammed Bush for forming a coalition with the Afgan Warlords, but then Slammed Bush for not forming a coalition in Iraq. He obviously was motivated by political causes, and often said and criticicized the president very unfairly on both sides of the coin. Kerry apparently disagrees with the President on every single thing he's done. I don't believe that, I believe he just appeared that way to try and create contrast, which was disgusting to me. In the meanwhile, Bush is complimenting Kerry's family and his service in Vietnam. THERE'S your contrast.
The media has been almost fully in Kerry's pocket during all of this, so part of my resignation to vote Bush was as a message back to the media who constantly hounded him... I saw your news, I saw your negativity, I saw your Bias, and I was still, as an intelligent human under God, able to see through it all and vote for the right man... regardless of your repeated attempts to sway my vote.
Tons of other reasons. Bush isn't perfect, but he's one hell of a lot better to me than Kerry would have been.
Real American:
Well, that is two well thought out and well written replies to this guys question about why Americans like President Bush. Apparently, he doesn't like what he is hearing because he isn't responding.
It really isn't their fault though. European media is very biased and all they hear is anti-Bush propaganda 24/7. They really don't hear the other side.

--- Quote from: Sub-Z W. Bush on November 03, 2004, 12:36:08 PM ---i support bush just because i hate kerry, but i think people blow everything to do with bush out of proportion because they hate him. so in other words, he may not be the best guy to have running the country, but he isnt as bad as everyone says......and IMO, better than what kerry would have been
--- End quote ---
