why is it that the people who support George W all like him for reasons that aren't supported factually?

Only George knows for sure, but I suspect that he wasn't raised right.  He's never once taken responsibility for the things he's done.  In his mind, everyone else was doing it, so that makes it OK.  Trouble is, he got caught, and most likely he was turned in by his political buddies.  Hard to believe somebody as old as he is doesn't know any better.  I thought the older generations were supposed to have better morals.  He disgraced himself, his family and friends, and everyone in the state of Illinois.

Because he wants to be "The war President"...When he was a little boy he wanted to own his own "Ball team" when that didn't pan out he wanted to own his own oil company, When he ran that business to the ground...Then he wanted to be president but daddy said "You will have to have experience being a Governor...He had Karl Rove a long time smear merchant run the campaigned.  They spread all these nasty rumors that Ann Richard's (Governor) was a lesbian...George won and he really enjoyed the power of executing people on death row . There were more executions during Georges tenure. More than any Governor ever!...So when he became president he wanted to start a war so more people could die...But this time they all died based on a lie...and in the end "He will be known as the worse president ever!"

Because they refuse to accept the fact that Bush has done a lot of good things for this country.\nA lot of people accept this because it's the only side they get from the mainstream media.

First, I don't ever completely agree with any president and doubt that anyone does. But I do respect the Office of the President of the United States. To answer your question, I think it is because most people are against war and I can empathize. With the world being as it is today war seems to be the only language that our enemies respond to. I read posts here about Bush this, Bush that, when will he get blamed for someones hangover? It's absolutely astonishing to see how people think that he has to make perfect decisions like it is a perfect world. Too many think that he is to blame for things that are out of his control. I don't care about his family history, or what our alliance was to the Afghans in the 80's, I care about what he is doing TODAY with things as they are TODAY, with what he has TODAY. I'd rather be fighting the war on terrorism on some other country's turf instead of here. The people that accuse Mr. Bush are malcontented liberal idiots who won't be happy until our country gets ruined.

Because George (or his advisors) are brilliant and have brainwashed a majority of the American people to believe that they must defend themselves against the war on "terra""!\n\nThey have the American people living fear-based lives and have convinced them that their government knows what is best and that they should be left to make all the decisions.  Soon, there will be no individual rights or privacy left for the average American citizen.  (Or any other countries if the Bush administration has their way.)  World and economic domination is the primary goal of this government.  Not the good of the American people.  \n\nSounds a lot like the early church leaders manipulating the bible and church rules in order to control the masses and ruling by fear.

David (above).. I'd like to make a small correction to your assumption, if I may.\n\n90+  percent of the UK population did not support the UK government in its decision to send UK troops into the Iraq invasion.  Hence, you can take it that the UK does _not_ support George Bush today, either.  His only real ally is Tony Blair, who is about to lose his position as Prime Minister mainly because of his support for Bush. If you were to read the serious political commentators, the leaders in many newspapers, discussions on TV and radio, and listen to the conversations of ordinary Brits, you would find that Geo Bush is not supported by the majority of UK people.   Indeed, it would be nonsensical to  support a person whose precipitous and misjudged action has destroyed a sovereign country (forget about Saddam being a bad person - there are plenty of places with wicked heads of state);  whose decisions have led to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people; who has (according to his own intelligence people) made the threat of terrorism in the West much worse; who has increased the number of terrorist recruits way above that which existed prior to Iraq;  who has spent over $350 Billion of US taxpayers money on this fiasco of a war (and will probably end up by paying even more in order to rebuild Iraq); who has curtailed the civil freedom of his own countrymen, and who has made America not only hated more intensely by the Muslim world, but diminished its standing in the eyes of its Western friends.    No wonder he got a hammering yesterday!

Government leaders should not be held to piublioc opinion, but the should consider it.  There was a percentage of people thatg oppossed George Wahington during the Revolutionary war.  The same was true zbout Abe Lincoln and the Civil War.  Harry Truman's approval rating were low after he dropped the atomic bomb.  Often, our govenment leaders and members of the administration have more knowledge about incidents than the common man. Express yourself at the voting booth.

Bush is a person who has the guts to follow what he feels is correct. few people in the world are as gutsy as he is. his war against islamic terror speaks volumes of his guts although he made a mistake by invading iraq

Because of people like Kerry, Kennedy, Pelosi , Hillary& Reid the liberals are lieing low until arter the election. GW fears no one & he is out there fighting for his idears (right or wrong) I like some one who holds on to his idears no matter how some people feel about them. At least he is not wishey/ washey like some people. What he said yesterday he will say tomorrow.The polls do not change his mind.

There are many that I think are worthy of admiration, but I like George Washington the best.\nHe led the country through some early tumultous times, was a man of high moral principles, and knew when to step down to let others lead.

why wouldnt they like him

Most scholars agree that president Bush is a good speaker who knows how to persuade his audience. The other thing is his work and his overall popularity...:)))\nI definitely like his speeches because he's often making fun of himself which is quite impossible to see in other  countries and other presidents...others are too serious.

I think some small percentage of people might, but ONE of the hardest things a person can do is to admit when they have made a mistake.\n\nEspecially if they have spent considerable time (months, years, etc.) defending their position and insisting they were right.\n\nAnd that applies to many things...not just George W.

It is only 29% of the people in America that still support him and most of the reason is because of the war in Iraq. Most people are waking up to the fact that there was no weapons of mass destruction, that it isn't about freedom for the Iraqi people and it was probably more about the price of oil. \n   I think that the 29% that still support him must be the more mentally deficient of the population of the United States. They just do not want to believe that they elected and reelected a crook.

The people who are giving you grief are completely wrong. \n\nGeorge Washington is George W. Bush's 11th cousin, 8 times removed; Thomas Jefferson is GWB's 12th cousin, 7 times removed; and John Quincy Adams (John Adams's son) is GWB's 5th cousin, 6 times removed. \n\nLots and lots of the presidents are related to each other.
