I'm pretty sure everyone on here is going to say no, and if so:\n\nYOU'RE RETARDED.\n\nThere is, and has been for hundreds of years, a pre-defined system for electing the president and vice-president of the United States. Both Bush and Kerry agreed to that system, and were fairly tried by those guidelines. One emerged the victor.\n\nI guarantee you that the liberals would still be whining if Bush won the popular vote, but Kerry won the electoral vote, and the Court decided in favor of Bush. QUIT FUCKING WHINING, BUSH FUCKING WON. I'm not a big fan of him either, but there's one thing you CAN'T say about him and that's that he was not fairly elected.\n\nThe rules are the rules, and I'm sick and tired of hearing people complain about them not being fair only now that their candidate lost. \n\nThat's OK, Kerry wouldn't have done any better with this country than Bush has, that's for sure.\n\nIf you have any reasons for saying no that I haven't addressed above, go for it.

I think he won and that's all there is to it...even though i dont like him

Good question! At the last election Bush went on about 'Massachusetts liberals' (forgetting that he is president of Massachusetts as well as the other 49 states)  even though it pays its own way in the Union, contributing more than it takes out.

There is no reason to be any more concerned today than you were yesterday. The Democrats won the House. What did they really win? They won the right to make the president a lame duck. Mr. Bush can still veto any legislation they try to pass and the Democrats do not have a 2/3 Senate majority required to over ride a veto. The Democrats say they want change, so here's their chance. We will see in the coming days if Democrats really want change for all Americans and are willing to reach across the aisle, or if they just want power. Either way do not expect much to change in the next 2 years. If anything this election has almost guaranteed that nothing substantive will happen in that time.\n\nmrfoxhorn: I have to take exception with a few of your statements.\nI am middle class, I do not make 200K a year. I make more money than I did during the Clinton administration and I am paying less in taxes.\nBecause one man in the Republican party solicited a teenage boy, it does not make the entire Republican party gay. This is one the most ridiculous statements Democrats make.\nThe Republicans did not handcuff Mr. Clinton with Monica. Mr. Clinton created his own woes by lying about the affair under oath. Credibility and honesty from our leaders (all of them) may not matter to you, but it is very important to me.\nI do not blame Mr. Clinton for 9/11, I blame terrorists. What I blame Mr. Clinton for in regard to terrorism is his administrations direct efforts to hamper intelligence gathering and sharing. \nThe idea that the Democrats will build up the military stands in stark opposition to their actual record on military spending. How do you think Mr. Clinton was able to balance the budget? It wasn't by cutting social programs, but rather by dessimating the military and intelligence communities.\nDemocrats have won the midterm, you wanted change and now you have it. Pointing fingers at the other side for their failings isn't going to work anymore. Democrats now have to take responsibilty and start showing us what positive change they propose for America. I am willing to give them the benefit of the doubt in this area, but I honestly believe they will fail miserably unless they change their thinking and move forward rather than looking back.

Oh please don't go there!!! If you research this 2000 election BUSH NEVER WON!!!!!  GORE WON AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN PRESIDENT IT WAS PROVEN!!! LOOK IT UP!! That was a sad day in our history we looked like morons to the other countries. That was such a screw up and there should have been a recall and a re-election because the Republicans tampered with everything. Makes me sick to even think about that election!!

You left out some key points.\nYou are either ignorant or a republican... or both!\n\nFACT!!!Lawyers for Bush and Gore argue before the Florida Supreme Court on whether hand counts are to be included in the final tally.\n\nFACT!!!The Florida justices rule unanimously that hand counts in the three counties must be included, and set 5 p.m. on Nov. 26 as the earliest time for certification.\n\nFACT!!!Bush lawyers appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court, arguing that the state court effectively rewrote state election statutes after the vote. Miami-Dade cancels its manual recount, saying it does not have enough time to complete it by Nov. 26.\n\nFACT!!!The state Supreme Court refuses Gore's request to require the counting to continue in Miami-Dade.\n\nFACT!!!Harris declares Bush winner in Florida by 537 votes.\n\nFACT!!!The Florida House of Representatives votes to appoint electors for Bush. The U.S. Supreme Court overturns the Florida Supreme Court, ruling 5-4 that there may be no further counting of Florida's disputed presidential votes.\n\nDespite Gore's request for a RECOUNT, it never happened!\nGet off the oxycontin or the Limbaugh or whatever it is you are on!

You go girl! We have been messed with for so long that we forgot that "No means NO!" in many ways. Enough is enough and quite frankly I cannot see Al Gore (had he been elected) take a stance as vigorous and appropriate with our enemies. You know what they say... don't mess with Texas.

YOUR ****** retards Libs\n\nYou got no candadite for president and you cant handel that.  ANd the person that says bush has let too many people die for nothing, do you consider freeing the iraqi people nothing, women can now go to school, drive cars, everyone can listen to the radio and watch TV, whatever if thats nothing do you.\n\nDo you like kennedy, he wasn't a conservative, and he started to get us involed in a conflict that killed 58,000 American lives, nothing was accomplished while we were there.  \n\nLibs can't see through the media.  We have a great conservative president and our liberal media does exposes all the bad parts of war.  For some reason they would rather our country hear about the 3 people that died in a car bomb then all the victories we have there

i've thought about this since the last election fiasco...there is really no way to ensure that it's fair and that every person gets their vote in, short of going door to door as in census time, and that would take forever.  It isn't fair though, that the majority in a state can completely throw off the fairness of an entire election...why should we be voting for a majority state by state?  that's fine for a gubernatorial election, since we are electing the head of the STATE, but i think that the countrywide popular vote should be tallied, a winner declared, and the election over.  The electoral college was appropriate for the time it was organized, but it's time has passed...i would like to feel like MY vote actually did count, and the only way to make that happen for a lot of people is to do away with the electoral college system.

Our form of Democracy has elections at specified times and we do not dissolve our government and hold elections at any time we want.  George W. Bush will be in office until 1/20/2009 when his term ends and we will then have a new president because he will not be able to run again for president.  We have a 2 term limit for our President and he is on his second term.  Starting sometime during late 2007 we will start to see candidates who want the job of being president and we will begin going through our Primary process where we determine who will get each Parties Nomination for the Office of President.  We will hold our National Elections in November, 2008 and a new president will take office on January 20, 2009.  Until then you will have to dislke Bush, after that I don't know who it is that you will dislike, but I know that you will dislike him or her as they will be American and will continue to hold the same values as Bush holds as far as keeping our country safe.  Do you know what makes America Great, it is because not only will you be able to hate our new president but so will we if we want to. It is not against the law to hate our leaders, can you say the same for where you live?  Probably not.  I am glad that you asked this question because it shows the way that you think, you addressed this to your fellow Americans, yet you had no idea how the country works.  This tells me two things immediately, one is that you do not have good enough English to pass the citizen test, and second if you had even failed a U.S. citizen test you would know more about it than you do.  The one thing that I hope that you understand most about my answer is yes there are many American's who do not like our President or agree with all of his policies, however more American's will agree to stand with him than against him and even if we get a new President from another political party they will still be American and continue down the path that we are on.  If you do not want America to expand its war on Terrorism stop terrorism and we will stop.  As long as you chant Osama bin Laden's name and cheer for him to attack America again you are not helping your cause at all.

Wow, not to personally attack you or anything, but I find it terribly annoying how many, outside of the US, over generalize the political perspectives of Americans. Because in all actuality only about 50% of the US population actually votes in the presidential election. Then when you divide that number in half, only 51% of that 50% voted for Bush. So really it’s B.S. when people say that a majority of Americans voted for him. What about the other 74%? Please keep that in mind the next time you feel the need to make a presumptuous accusation about all Americans, and "our" appointment of Bush to office.

Liberals have not yet gotten over losing the 2000 election. And it is splitting their party apart. Rather than focus on a real agenda to deal with some of the problems we have, they rely on their hatred of GWB. Only problem is that many, many Americans are tired of the old shrill propaganda.\n\nGratefulDead06 - Nice try on the propaganda video. ANYONE can take ANY video and twist it to say what they want. That video in particular has been discussed and denounced in several Q&A's here - and conservatives AND liberals have denounced it. Much like politicians - both Republicans AND Democrats - twist poll numbers to say what they want.\n\nAs far as your "evidence" that Bush stole the election, try posting something from a REPUTABLE source rather than a website whose sole agenda is to make someone look bad. Post something from CNN or NBC or Fox News or ABC. You won't because you can't.\n\nYou have NO CREDIBILITY.

First off thank you very much for telling the truth on here.  Bush is a great president and there is no reason to impeach him.  Liberals are so unhappy that there is no decent liberal cadidate for president they have to rip apart ours in any way possible, sad huh.  It is worth it for the libs to lie about our country so it looks bad making our president look bad, pathetic.

FIRST OF ALL:  a_team_rerun, your answer was beyond condescending.  I haven't noticed that this board is a spelling contest.  Occasionally people inadvertently use a wrong word or an incorrect spelling.  Glad we have you to police things.\n\nIN ANSWER TO THE QUESTION:  It would be wonderful if we could do such a thing.  There have been a lot of suggestions on this board recently about how our election system could be changed; however, a lot of people always seem to point out that there are too many reason why those ideas wouldn't work either.\n\nWe have three main strikes against us, as citizens, right now:\n\nOne, the entire Nation is infected with apathy (they don't seem to care; they think someone else will 'take care of it');\n\nTwo, we, as a Nation, seem to think like 'a_team_rerun' in that we have been doing something too long to change it.  Thank goodness our founding fathers didn't have those same ideas.  Without change, we are rapidly becoming a stagnant pond and the stench of rot is becoming wide spread.  Why does everyone pretend it doesn't stink?\n\nThree, until the American people have had it up to their eyebrows with the corruption that is going on and everyone stands up on their feet at the same time and starts yelling 'WE ARE NOT GOING TO TAKE THIS ANYMORE" ... until we have massive demonstrations on the White House lawn ... until we get pro-active and stop being inactive, nothing at all is going to change.\n\nYour idea is not bad, but my humble opinion is that a very charismatic man would have to be found to run for office; one who can sell ice on the North pole, so to speak; one who can easily make himself understood to all people using common, ordinary, everyday words that everyone can understand.  A man who can get the majority of America to support his campaign financially.  The list is endless.\n\nDo i think someone like this exists?   Yes, i do!  The problem is, where do we find him and how do we promote him?
441349
Man, am I ever tired of hearing all this whiney cry-baby liberal rhetoric garbage from those whose candidate lost the last election by rules that have been in place for decades.\n\nBut... if you feel your vote doesn't count, by all means, don't show up at the voting booth!

I answered a question today where a liberal is calling for the death of Ann Coulter.  There have been other questions posted on here where people have asked why isn't Bush dead yet.  A democrat said that Bush should be shot between the eyes on national tv.  There is plenty of hate and vitriol from the left.  The problem is that you agree with it so you don't see it as hate.\n\nEDIT: The "you" is the left or liberals.  If you are offended that I lumped everyone together then maybe you shouldn't do it yourself.  You labeled every single conservative as morally bankrupt.  If you can't take it don't dish it out.

We'd still be hearing Rush screaming about it today if the Liberals had stolen the election instead of the Republicans.\n\nAnd then, if the Dems had stolen the next election as well, like the GOP did, boy oh boy would they be crying foul.

Everyone is welcome to speak on our electorate process in our country,everyone's opinion is welcome. There were were no major problems in this election,as in the last Presidential election where Florida and Supreme Court got involved in choosing our last President. \n  The people in this country are tired of the killing and the mayhem of the Middle East,and we tried to solve the process by helping out,but it has only made the situation worse. The Voting Public of this country spoke loud and clear on this issue this past election. \n  Thank you for your input and your concern of a big major world crisis,and hopefully our legislatures will solve the problem in the upcoming months..it takes time.
