Do you think that America made the right deciscion voting Bush into  office for a second term.Do you think Kerry should one.

No it wasn't fair.  Bush bashed Kerry on his service in Vietnam which Bush was hiding from and Kerry would have made a terrific president.  And still might.

Agreed. I believe that's what voters are for. I mean, think about it: if the Supreme Court was appointed by his daddy, who do you think they'd give (give being the key word) the presidency to? Even if it took longer, wouldn't it've been a better idea if the whole country just re-voted?

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.

I'm with you... this is ridiculous... this clown show has gone on long enough and I think America is sick of it... Repubs were still playing the patriotism card in 04 and barely beat Kerry... you don't have enough juice left in that one anymore and it's time to stop hiding behind excuses for your actions...

I do! He is an awesome president. If he could go for another term, I would definitely vote for him. I'm glad that I'm not the only one that still respects the guy.

Remember only half of those who chose to cast their ballots voted for Bush. The other half thought he was an idiot, espeically in 2004 when we knew what Bush was about. \n\nIt's not that Americans are linguistically challenged when we vote for someone like Bush ( but remember, only half voted for him); it's that we need to choose between two candidates and in 2000, Gore actually won the popular vote and the election had to be decided by the U.S. Supreme Court. In 2004, the Democrats put up a weak candidate (Kerry) who wanted to discuss the Vietnam War and his involvement, when people were worried about Iraq. The other factor that allowed Bush to win in 2004 was that politicial strategist Karl Rove and his tactics still resonated with enough people. But by 2006, it did not. \n\nBush is also the product of an education system that allows money to scream louder than educational achievement or intelligence.\n\nAs a Briton, please don't judge Americans by our presidential candidates. Due to the punishing length of the campaigns, the necessity of raising tens of millions of dollars,  and the lack of privacy a candidate loses once they declare their candidacy, many of the best and brightest decline to run for the highest political office.

I firmly believe that Bush was voted in because Kerry was a bad Democratic candidate. There can be no other earthly reason why Bush could have got in otherwise. I mean what can I say - he seems a lovely guy but he just sucks at being President.

He shouldn't. I don't know who elected him a second term, but next vote I suggest they drug test all of the voters, to make sure they're not high while they are voting. God forbid we have another "War on Error-ism". Next time the village in Texas (and anywhere else) should keep their Idiot to themselves... "I don't wanna be an American Idiot"... and I'm not! But Bush sure as heck is.

You are absolutely right.\nIf you ever run for president, you have my vote.

I personally think we should have not allowed it to go on this far. He and his henchmen should have been impeached and thrown out of office when we all found out it was not the truth that we went to war to get the bad weapons out of Iraq. This was a blatant lie to the american people and should have been dealt with right then. But we have a wishy washy congress that is afraid to do the right thing for the American people and they should all be voted out in the coming elections

51% of the american people voted for him\n\nyour idea of some puppet master is foolish and just not reality, maybe in some countries but not the united states\n\nthe president isnt a moron,  i voted for kerry in 04 cause of policy differences,  but you people need to stop with the president is a moron it just hurts the cause of having fruitful disagreement based on policy\n\nwhat if a harvard phd ran on the same platform,  now youve just cut my legs from being able to argue against him cause you and all your liberal trash said no hes a moron, \n\nsee what i mean\n\nshut up with the crap hes a moron hes not,  man won election to president twice

I THOUGHT WE HAD A DECENT PRESIDENT ALREADY. \nIF NOT WHY DID THE PEOPLE VOTE HIM IN TWICE.

Some of you voted for him... a SECOND TIME!!!\nProud to be a Canadian!

I am proud of my country, just not the idiots running it right now.\n\nAnd for those of you that said What Would Kerry Do? WE'LL NEVER KNOW, instead we placed a guy with an ALREADY bad track record back in to KEEP messing up.

Actually, Bush called the second election a 'clear mandate'.  So, no, I don't see it changing with HIM.  Hoewever, the GOP will hopefully be smarter in 08 when they realize that we still live in a democracy, and you better give us someone we want, or face another humiliating loss.  Just think, the GOP could have nominated Elizabeth Dole in 2000 instead of Bush...imagine how different things would be...

I voted Kerry, but I had voted for Dean in the primary and wish he had won the nomination.\n\nIf I had it to do again, of course I would vote Kerry in the main election (assuming I couldn't rally enough friends to change the Democratic primary results), but I would also take two particular friends with me to vote for President and let them experience the political process (I later found out that they had never voted for anyone, in any election).\n\nIn the meantime, I have a sign in my window reading "Impeach Bush," and I can only hope that my dearest wish will come true...\n\nor that at least our VP will resign over shame for his stances, his policies, oh, and for shooting someone in the face...and that Bush will find himself a far less efficient instrument for the radical right without his puppeteer in the wings.\n\nSorry, but I needed to let out some frustration there. Thanks for listening. Good question.

What do you think, if all you can think of is your son or daughter with you or in your life before Bush was in office and now their gone because of him, would you vote the same way, Republicans should actually have the definition of "Repercussions" and be spelled that way too or Reaper-cussion, cause that's what happened we had to deal with a lot of regrets because he was voted in, or shall I say cheated in! Thank you  Note: I did not vote for him
