I ask because last week I asked about people who voted for Bush and also oppose the war. I got a few mixed responses that maybe they voted for him based on his other policies.

No,  But it should be.\n\nAny time we are at war it should be the most important issue until it's over.\n\nIt's a life and death thing.

I voted for him the first time, only because I was 19 and in the military and he promised a pay raise. The second election time I found my ass on the line in Bahgdad fighting for a war started for underlying interest. So I voted for Kerry, but you know what, Paul Wolfowitz said the military overseas vote wouldn't count due to security issues. Yet we blast our war strategies all over the media, can you see the irony in that?? I can sure as hell can.

I voted for Kerry in the last election.  I think if he were president now I would be able to get health insurance for my children.  I feel that he would have started taking troops out of Iraq.  Don't get me wrong I am all for our soldiers but not for this war. But thats a whole other question.

Frankly, I support all Presidents.  Even the Presidents I didn't vote for.\n\nI may not like what they stand for or do.  But they were elected and deserve our support.\n\nBesides, they make decisions on information they get and we don't.  They are human and do the best job they can.

Wouldn`t you of loved to be a fly on the wall at the Bush house last night? HA HA HA .CHECK- MATE REPUBLICANS. I hope Bush knows how people think about him now cuz he lost the votes for his party last night.It didn`t matter who they were or what they stood for they were doomed because of Bush`s AROGANCE. THE PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN !!! and this time our votes counted unlike the presidential elections.

From an American to an Non-American. I did not elect Bush. Bush elected himself. Unfortunantly you do have some Americans who are naive and believe anything Bush says. I for one, voted for John Kerry.

Thanks for the special mention of me in the question.  Katrina wasnt bush's fault.  Last time I check he didnt have power over the weather.  If he does, I could have done without the snow last week.  I dont see anyone going on and on about the appointment of Robert Kennedy to attorney general.  Mistakes are made.  However one should also keep in mind that the Mayor and Governor were both Democrats and both failed to call in the national guard.  As for his "faith based" decisions, pehaps we give him our support because the majority of U.S. citizens believe in those decisions.  Most of us arent in favor of the abomination known as gay marriage and many oppose the systimatic murder of unborn children by claiming its a constitutional right.  All one needs to do is look at a map of the 2004 Presidental election and the fact that many states passed marriage laws and/or amendments in that election to see how the majority of us feel.

Okay... You could pick five random answers I've given and figure out just how much love I haven't lost for Bush... but god damn! You agenda people are getting on my last nerve. Did you miss the subtle bus or something? Woohoo... we get it... you don't like the war. Hey, here's an idea! How about asking a pointed question that gets only opinionated responces, dividing your answers into two easily definable groups. Then lets add lots of exclimation points, because that makes everything better!!!!

The war and battles...US and Iraq...this country and that....too much.\nI voted Democrat and hopefully make a change, only time will tell.

i woudl say ppl vote for him because they are misinformed or it's in there best intrest,although i have yet to meet somone benifiting from bush being in power(these people fly in private jets over us while we sleep) i will admit he would have made a better comedian than a leader(cracked jokes at last speech when prompter failed),his inclusion of faith based politics,and that sending ppl my age and yunger into battle underfunded and mom and dad having to send them armor and bullets just seems sureal but thats whats happening right now so yeah why do ppl vote for him,i've talked with a few ppl that say he knows what's what but thats a marginal few where is this majority of supporters?are they closed off from news sources using the same baracade they used on protesters to keep them out of king george's earshot...mabey they live in the same cloistered bubble he does and dont have to deal with heating costs and health coverage..it's a damn good question..mine is what does it take to impeach a president based on his conduct?

If Bush had been President during the past world wars, he would have been praised and glorified. Timing is everything. My questing is what do all these left wingers want? I think they'd rather be fighting here. Don't they realize that every time they say one bad word about Bush, they're giving ammunition to Al-Quaeda and all the other terrorists around the world. Even if I hated Bush, until this was all over, I would never say one bad word about him.My country comes first.

If you ask Bush he will say "Because God wants me to be president."  If you ask me, I think people were afraid to change the guard because of the war.  Basically, the American public said: hey, you guys messed up with this war thing but why don't you try and finish it anyway.  I am still shocked.

2000-2005: Heck yeah.  I kept seeing him with harsh reviews, and constant attacks for no apparent reason, but from liberal sissies who literaly threatened to flee the country if Bush was elected president again.  He can't do whatever everyone wants him to do people!  Hes fallen under stress with the war in Iraq, and has been in trouble since then.  He needs support, not feedback.  Now do us a favor and can it!\n\n2006: Not at all.  I used to be a Bush supporter, as already said.  Now, my repulicanism is going down the drain, as is my hopes of this torment ending.  The war in Iraq, Neuclear threats, Anthrax, Snipers...and we even abandoned Osama Bin Laden!  For crying out loud, do you not know how our Middle East conflicts in Bushs term (Not the war in iraq, but on terrorism) started!?  Where has Osami gone to?  We would know, had Bush not set his mind elsewere

I've always fully supported President Bush.  I'm a Soldier and I'm proud to have served in Operation Iraqi Freedom.\n\nOh yeah,  BantamRooster68 you're absolutely right man, the liberals don't have the integrity to admit that they were wrong.  Sad that you can't instill some moral values in people like that.

I don't regret voting for him, because I didn't.\n\nThere are two types of people who voted for Bush, the regretful and the blissfully ignorant.

I have to say other than pay my taxes I have done NOTHING to support the current war effort in Iraq, but have supported it in Afghanistan.  I have friends serving in both locations and I remind them as often as we can email that regardless of how people feel about the wars I will NOT let them return to the "welcome" our vietnam veterans got.  I also discuss (that's right discuss) my views with others who share them and don't share them. I have learned a lot and they have too.\n\n(Remember, supporting our troops who are doing their job is NOT the same as supporting the wars.)

I think it does. I think the people who were ignorant enough to vote in our current President Bush for a second term are to blame because it was their votes which caused Bush to win. I, however, am not to blame because I voted for Kerry. I think more people are aware now of the atrocities going on in Iraq but the problem is, it is too late. Now they realize that so many innocent lives are being lost on a country we should have just left alone.
