Why does this country still stand behind Bush when he has done so much to hurt this country?

amazingly clear and simple question.\n   my answer is, i dont have any idea. if this was happening in any other country in the world, and we as a country were watching whats going on, we would be freaking out, imposing sanctions, building up a coalition with other nations and trying to stop what was going on. the only thing i can figure is that the republicans are so removed from reality, that they are content to goosestep to whatever the pied piper leads them to.

I think that people need someone to blame and he is the leader of this country so people can very easily point fingers at him for all this country's problems.  The truth is, this is not a dictatorship, there are many people that are in charge of this country and Bush is just doing his job.

The full power over our Military was Given to King Bush and The Bush Bunch by Our Congress right after 911.When we attack another country now,it is not as the US, although it is mostly US military,it is King Bush and his Multi- National forces.The tragic part for us U.S. Citizens is the whole world thinks we are all behind this.The truth is many,many of us can see how awfully wrong all this is.The main fear is it will get much,much worse.

Well put from the conservative view.  Where were people like you all this time.  Bush has not only gone on this failed mission, he has almost voided the Constitution, the Bill of Rights,  he pandered to the Christian Right, he alienated most of the rest of the world, he has alienated anyone inside the country who did not agree with him by suggesting the were on the sides of the terrorists, he has  been the most divisive President I  have ever seen.  By doing all these things, he has given conservatism a bad name, and caused far too many to be more than suspicious of Republicans.  He has not only cost you all this,  he has cost  the country  far more.  It is time to abandon this "your either with us,  or your against us" mantra and go back to this country's strength - we are strong because of the variety of opinion and creative energy of all of us, not just the select few.  It is time to include, not exclude, as we face issues coming our way that will require the very best of all of us.

President Bush was put in a situation that no President has been in in a long time (Pearl Harbor)--when the United States was attacked on their own soil. We take for granted that we are surrounded by the ocean and idiots (Canada, Mexico, and Cuba, for example.) We had to send a message to the world that the United States will not sit around and be attacked. While the gas prices have jumped considerably since his Presidency started, it isn't entirely his fault. He has tried to drill in Alaska for oil but the Democrats will not let him. While he may have a big stake in the gas and oil industry, he certainly doesn't need the extra money from it. I would say that for all that he has had to deal with he has done a tremendous job.

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 ya mean destructive-having ta do with war....then...well..according to da "president of the united states"...we are currently either defending our country, or another one.. however, I personally think that the US is "helping other countries so that if that country does well...they either get paid fer helping...or they get a lot of credit fer it.

Bush is just a fag who likes to bomb other countries and take over them. He likes to accuse people of having weapons of mass descruction, and only helped Florida in their time of need because his brother runs the state... :P\n\nAnd plus, the cost of the war in Iraq is running us about 244 billion dollars, and is increasing about 1,000 dollars every SECOND! Do you think you would be able to afford to help some people in tragedy if you were wasting all your money shooting people?!\n\nI dunno. Maybe Bush isn't doing anything because he got mad at the traffic during Marti Gras. Hey, you never know...

It's good to see some people here opening their eyes. However he still has 1 1/2 years to destroy everything... I move for impeachment on the grounds of committing war crimes, waging an unjustified war, damaging the American reputation world wide, invasion of a country with no proof of wrong doing, a disregard for intelligence stating that there were no WMD's in Iraq, and using fear of terrorism and disasters to try and hold office. Pry those eyes open people and join me in creating awareness of Bush and his crooked politics. Why do you think most countries don't like Americans anymore? Because they get more of the real story. Do you think Bush will let our news broadcast information on how much of a criminal he is? HELL NO! It is our duty as American Citizens, and as a Capitalist society to make sure that we are not the aggressors! Muslims do not attack us because they are jealous of our way of life. They attack us because we are forcing our way of life on them, and using torture and fear to justify our "Lawful" actions. That is called Fascism, and it was supposed to die with WW2. \n\nIgnorance is your choice in this country.. please don't choose to ignore the people dying in other countries to push democracy, when democracy is not what the people in that country strive for. Who are we to oust a government, even if they harm their own people. History has shown that when the people are ready, they will lead a revolution and make the necessary changes to secure the success of their country in the world. If we are to continue as a world power it is our responcibility to make sure we do not endorse negativity and oppression.

Our troops are still in Iraq because Bush is too arrogant to admit that he was wrong about Iraq. His administration knows the truth, but it is not patriotic to oppose him when he is in trouble. His incompetence and lies coasted us big time and we all suffering from his mistakes. How can Bush get Iran's oil, control Saudis oil too, protect Israel, show off his power to Europpeans and monitor the Europpean Union and control the Islamic Fundamentalists in the Middle East?  Well, he must stay in Iraq for many years to come.

Yes, I am proud to be an American but ashamed of most of the things that President Bush has done!! This reflects on the man and not the country as a whole. There is no greater country on earth!

I'm unaware that Bush has ever attacked a country without a reason. The only countries America has ever fought with during the Bush administration were Iraq and Afhganistan, in which we had many reasons to be there. What are you talking about? Are you stoned?

Because Bush will not admit to making a mistake of ANY kind.  He will not back down from any decision he has made however much it has hurt our country.  Rumsfield, Cheney and WOMD are perfect examples.

Actually we hold job as president too important in my opinion. The president works for us, not the other way around. Bush has been telling the American people what to do and how to think about certain situations and i find this to be completly wrong. Like I mentioned above, the President works for us and he should do what we want. My loyalties belong to this country, not its president.

Bush isnt really Evil. He is simply dumb. He doesnt know what he is doing most of the time. He doesnt realize that he is digging a hole that will take America decades to climb out of, but that is commonplace for republican presidents. They break it, and then a Democrat is elected to fix it. This is a never ending cycle. One I dont see stopping anytime soon.

I would say that the current government is definitely not what the majority of American people want.  The American system is not looking much like a democracy these days.  I would say the people that do support the actions of the current administration are mostly those that are still eating up the propaganda that they are being fed by the monstrous corporate machine to which the administration caters.  The USA is almost certainly headed for deeper sh*t than it is already in because of Bush's policies.  The idea that destroying a country, and inflicting such massive suffering on its people is making the world and the US more secure is rediculous.  All you have to do to see this is ask yourself what you would want done in retaliation for your family being killed in a bomb dropped on your home by another country's military.  This administration's foreign policy is making more people angry at the US on a daily basis.

I often ask myself the same question. \n\nThe sheep stand behind him because this administration has done a successful job in terrorizing his (Bush's) supporters with fear. They use the crayola chart to let people know the 'terror threat' yet they want people to live their lives and not let what happened on 9/11 to affect how we live. The crayola chart really is only needed by state and local governments as it advises if they need more resources for that particular time frame. (public servants)\n\nIn the name of ' I don't like that party ', people will side with him as well. So Bush could have told people that he is the spawn of Satan and people would have still voted for him becuase they so much dislike the opposing political party.
