I agree with Jenny the true patriot here on yahoo answers and Hitler_is Bush. George Bush has destroyed Americas economy and put the lower and middle class out of business. It doesn't make any sense to me how somebody can be so cold to Americans. America will never know about John Kerry, at least he went to Viet Nam when George Bush was back in America getting DUI'S and arrested.

Gosh, what makes you think Bush, or Republicans in particular, would practice dirty tricks? Seriously, the real problems may be the economy, the depleted  military and a domestic terror attack or two. We'll be out of Iraq by then; even though we have 140,000 troops there, the country is close to "chaos" according to a recent Pentagon assessment.

In my opinion either Kerry or Gore would have made a much better president.\n\nBush led our country into a war that never should have been. Our economy has been in a downward spiral since he took office. His medicare program is proving itself to be a disaster for our senior citizens,  More and more Americans are losing health care benefits.  The NSA is wiretapping American citizens without warrants.  His Supreme Court appointees have shifted a balanced court to the right.  \n\nAdditionally, his attempt to greatly expand Presidential power in the name of the "War on Terror" is especially frightening since it affects the Executive / Legislative / Judicial balance of goverment as defined in our Constitution.\n\nI'm sure I could go on but I've got to get back to work!

I think at this moment in time, anything can improve the economy.  I can't even imagine it going downhill from here.  It has gotten so bad in some parts, the only place to look is up.  I think the only thing that can bring the economy down is shipping off millions of immigrants who take the jobs that most native citizens couldn't afford to take anyway.

You are horribly uneducated.  If you call increasing our national debt by billions of dollars per year being economically sound, what happens when the bottom falls out.  I would hardly call this economy booming.  You also fail to mention that Bill Clinton operated with a budget surplus while Bush operates with a huge deficit.  This may be because of the war, but the war was Bush's main cause.  Oh andby the way how is that war coming along.  There is nor end in site and it could be decades before we are able to withdraw.  When Clinton dealt with Iraq he did it with surgical precision and took care of the situation in Iraq without having any type of extended conflict.  The main difference is that the rest of the world repected Clinton, but no one respects Bush.  You also fail to mention that since our commander in chief took power, not one, but two countries have began enriched uranium programs.  In case you don't know what that means, it means they have the power to make nuclear weapons.  One leader directly said they did it because of our president's attitude toward him.  That is good leadership.  Also, since NAFTA there has been a net increase in American jobs, my college international business teacher stresses that fact all the time.  So while we have lost low paying jobs we havce gained even more higher paying jobs.  Look it up, it is a fact.  Clinton did not fire those workers.  Poor business management fired those workers.  They were fired because they were overpayed by incompetent bosses.  Don't blame a president for that.  And you can thank Bill Clinton for the lower prices you enjoy because of NAFTA.  So good question, actually it is not a good question because you are comparing apples to oranges and your facts are wrong.  Congratulations.\nP.S. and G.W. wants to cut educational spendning, so if you want to go to college someday, he wants to make sure you have to pay more.\nP.P.S. and your wonderfol president wants it to be legal to essentially "spy" on you and every other citizen.

He failed us on immigration, he failed us on the war in Iraq, he will probably continue to half-ass things and "wuss-out."  All we can go by is his track record.  Don't get me wrong, I voted for him.  And I still want him instead of Kerry.  B ut I am very dissapointed in his appeasing Dems.

Hey Redd, Do you remember the old TV commercials saying, "this is your brain before drugs and this is your brain after, and then the guy cracks an egg and fries it. The same principle applies here but unfortunately with our country. Our country before Bush jr.; no deficit, race relations were better, international relations better, etc. and after/during Bush.....well you can "look around" and see for yourself. Our country has become the proverbial "fried egg" so to speak. ;)  Oh almost forgot, the economy. I know it was better for me and all those around me BEFORE Bush, Now Bush talks about job growth, that's great if you want a job at Taco Bell or Burger King, but in terms of real growth, it's not happening.

Who was that begging us to be nice to this guy? Wake up lady! This is the United States of America! If you are stupid, you get criticized. Politics is a tough business. He knew that going in. Bush aint a crackhead though. The other writer was correct. He is a dry drunk. I think he is a little coked out too which explains is absolute inability to speak coherently. The guy is President of the US and cant even speak well publicly. What is that? All he can do is read or spew the same ole rehearsed talking points. I think he needs another vacation.

I voted for Bush.  I am disillusioned in some ways, but I don't apologize.  I think Kerry would have been worse.  I vote by issues not by party and the Democrats have to come up with someone sincere before I will vote for them.  They are too into 'slick' lately. It is hard to get a handle on where someone so slick is coming from and whether they actually have any convictions, at all.  In the last election it was very much a matter of 'the Devil you know...'\n\nI do my homework before elections, and vote my conscience.  I think the concept of 'apologizing' for one's vote if you do that is ridiculous.

Yea and people made remarks about Kerry, At least he fought for America.Bush is a Woossssssss! He was born with the golden spoon in his mouth and I think he chocked on it , no that was a pretzel. Well, who knows where he was and all we know is he sure has us all in a mess. I wonder how many people would stick up for him if their oil stock suddenly dropped to $10.00 a barrel.! Ha That would be funny.

He is a bad actor, a worse Governor, what kind of president do you think he would make. It is not a pretty picture we had one bad actor as president and he is probably the second worse president in my memory.

During the next 5 years, I hope to see a Democratic sweep in all state and Federal governments (at least we will get a different set of lies), I am afraid we will see rampant inflation, horrid interest rates, serious weather pattern changes including more and more serious hurricanes on the East Coast. I expect that during the next 10 years, our ocean levels to begin rising causing more and more flooding in the gulf and East Coast. We well could face a serious uprising of the population due to the Iraq ordeal...very much like we had with Viet Nam. I do not foresee good times ahead. I also think our problems with Mexico have just started. I hope I am wrong.

one of the worst presidents!!! our economy sucks. soldiers are getting killed over WMDs that did not exist! (and even if they did exist... who cares? we got em too!! but no one is invading us and killing our innocent civilians!) he hasn't accomplished anything good for the american people. the unemployment rate has risen since the clinton administration. we are in soooo much debt and so much more that i wont even get into. bush will definitely go down as one of the worst presidents.

What Kerry said was shocking.  He obviously has a low opinion of the intelligence of our troops, and an even lower opinion of the intelligence of the average American citizen if he think we're going to believe his spin that he was "criticizing the president".  How does it make sense to say that if you don't work hard in school, you'll end up as the President of the United States?\n\nAnd P.S. to Brian who answered before me:  Your comparison is ridiculous.  Bush's intentions in that statement you quoted were obvious.  He did botch his statement, but Kerry did not.  Kerry said exactly what he meant to say, and then backtracked when his words were met with a poor reception.  Ask yourself if Kerry's representation that he was referring to the president, not our troops, even makes sense.  If your I.Q. is higher than your age, you will be able to see that it doesn't.  He is lying about what he meant because he realized how badly he messed up.

GWB Jr. IS a totally CLUELESS President. However, he is no more clueless than any of his predecessors--inculding those Presidents we actually respect. \n\nGWB Jr.'s only BIG mistake was putting horrifically inept people into offices of great responsibility.\n\nSo well, the damage has been done and I pray our new President will come in and not only appoint QUALIFIED people to cabinet offices, but also will be focused on repairing the gross damage to the US done by the ineptness of the Bush Jr. Administration.

Grrrrr....\n\nEDIT: Don't bash Clinton! He eliminated the deficit, and we had a surplus for a short time. All the while we survived and the economy was good. Bush blew it. He saddled us with that deficit. what's it up to? Eight TRILLION plus? Who's paying for the Iraq war? Who's paying to rebuild the place? Where is the Iraqi oil money? They are selling oil. Where do you think that money is going? Hmmm....

... well... first off... I fear I may be wasting my breath, because the information is out there and with an attitude like "all that I have seen or heard from the democrats is their utter hatred for President Bush"... it seems to show that you watch and believe only conservative sources of news... if that's all you believe, then it's pointless to argue...\n\nbut, real quick... a few points... \n\nIraq... listen to the generals (as many retired generals have said the current admin has not), set goals and flexible time lines to get the country stabilized and our boys home...\n\nhealth care... work to either expand current coverage of medicaid or work on bringing the costs down, but not through caps... costs are totally out of control\n\neducation... work to give more loans at lower rates and grants... tuition has skyrocketed... also, rework no child left behind to make it a working program...\n\ntaxes... keep the cuts on the middle class, repeal investor tax cuts... this will generate revenue to apply to the deficit...\n\nsocial security...we need to stop taking out of the jar and pay back what we have taken out... \n\nterror... work on bin Laden... a lot of talk from the Republicans about bin Laden... little action... the sooner we stabilize Iraq, the more we can focus on him...\n\nthere are other issues... and different democratic candidates have different views on the issues... just like McCain and Bush's views on these issues you asked about are sometimes very different inside the same party...\n\nEDIT: don't mention it... I think that one IMPORTANT key is that I don't like all democratic candidates... I think some of them are crazy... and I don't dislike all Republican candidates... \ntry to vote on the individual and their stances and not the party... I may lean to the democrat side often, but I do vote Republcian at times...
