Why are Bush supporters so reactionary?

I am so reactionary that I don't support Bush. I want to re-establish the Byzantine Empire. I prefer feudalism to capitalism. Monarchy is better than a republic any day of the week. How about them apples?

I am a Republican but I never voted for BUSH or any of the other cronies in office.\nI like what my republican affiliation stand for but not the power hungry politician it is backing. It is a sad day in the USA when we have no one GOOD to vote for. People did not really look at the man Bush was. Instead they looked at his father and did not look behind the big smile and warm words. How can us Americans be conned so easily?\nBush is a spoon-fed brat (sorry no disrespect intended just the truth). He never did anything out of the Safe box. He was protected through out life by his parents, given everything, he neveer worked a hard day in his life, never knew pain. He says he is religious but instead he is a biggot. He does not practice what he preaches.\nHe stands on a platform of an aircraft carrier for political gain while our military men and women are still fighting and dieing in a WAR he started. And believe me it had nothing to do with NYC. \n\nI believe in the old saying "that what goes around comes around" and bad energy that you give out comes back to you three fold. He will see soon.

Well, isn't asking questions like you ask a way of looking for debate? I happen to agree with your viewpoint, but when I see a question like "Why can't we all be good Americans & just support our great President Bush?", I get pretty hot under the collar myself. People like to argue, and hope to somehow "convince" you that you are wrong. Human nature. Keep asking questions, not just here, but everywhere.

"Intelligent Bush Supporter" ...that would fall under oxymoron

I find that frustrating as well. They seem to behave like spoiled bad-sports about everything, and they just argue the surface points with as much justification as they can muster (even to the extent of bringing in conspiracy theory) rather than adding depth by getting to the deeper causitive details. Very Immature!\n\nI really don't understand why they hate Bush so much PERSONALLY. You could hate all his policies & so much of what he's done, but why is it personal? And, just for the sake of argument lets say a Republican wins in 08, are they then going to hate that guy like this too? Why all the hate? Is it about not being able to win an election? That might have something to do with running liberal candidates that swing voters won't go for, or the fact that most of America doesn't agree with their agenda. At some point they have to accept reality and shift their party closer to the center. In the meantime, how many elections do they have to lose before they realize they aren't the mainstream? Those are all serious questions by the way.

Hate Bush? Maybe lots of people do, but I reserve that kind of strong emotion for the occasional tyrant, pedophile and such. And in all honesty it's hard to believe Dubya is much more than the front-man for what we've come to call the "current administration." There is no secret about who the folks are who set strategy and propose policy - and ain't a one of 'em called Bush. (Now those fellas do sometime stick in my craw because they call the shots and answer to no one.) \n\nIn short, there's just not enough substance to the man himself to get all that worked up about. \n\nIt really is a shame what our choices have been for some many years now: smiley peanut-farmers with no plans, grade-b actors with aggravated ADD,  self-aggrandizing pols with the morality of randy goats, and swaggering "warriors" who assiduously avoided fighting when it was their turn.\n\nI'm not hateful. I'm sad.

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.

Bush's enemies hide behind freedom of speech to bash him.  No,  they dont respect anything, including themselves.   They dont have any better ides or plans than Bush, but they are quick to criticize.   I will never vote Democrat again unless they stop their attacking and start thinking.    As a voter I dont want to hear what they are saying now,   I want ideas, vision,  and a plan that makes sense.   Until then,  I hope they continue to lose every election.

I actually had some conversations with Bush supporters during the 2004 election. I compared it to talking to a Bedouin from the Sahara about the Atlantic Ocean.\nIf you talk to someone about an idea that is totally outside their frame of reference, totally outside their worldview, they will reject it no matter how many facts you have on your side.

sheww.. That Emilyrose has gone crazy on both of your questions, some people these days are just crazy. Anyways, I am a republican and I support George Bush.

Well, Bush has repeatedly said that everyone who disagree with him is a terrorist who hates America.\n\nI just clicked the Politics link above, and found this\n\n  Why Are Liberals So Stupid and Hypocritical?\n\nThis is relatively mild, compared to a lot of the attacks I've seen on this site.

There are a lot of people that support Bush.  They're about 33% of the American population.\n\n55% of American population can't find Iraq on a map.\n\n11% of Americans 18-24 cant find NEW YORK CITY on a map.\n\n60% of Americans don't know who their state's Senators are.\n\n....you get the idea.

The vehemence with which the "loyal" opposition has opposed George Bush from the moment he won the nomination to the very present is not in any way normal behavior for a group or class of people. It seems to me there is a link-step mentality at play whereby no righteous democrat can admit the right of President Bush to his office. This is a dangerous thing. This hatred has tainted the entire country aided by the media and the talking heads of the left as they spread the notion that Bush is not  legitimate. People who do not analyze the source or content of the news they receive take it at face value and their perception is skewed against Bush, the War in Iraq, and just about anything else the democrats in their angry rant to regain power broadcast against the President. These same individuals then are not just cry babies-- twice defeated by what they consider unfair elections-- they're a dangerous element in an open society where dissent is meant to have some purpose or reason other than vindication and self-aggrandizement. Should the democrats regain power in the next election, you can be sure the same people who did not fairly consider what they saw or read will rue the day. I believe that, for all of this hate, which must affect him, President Bush has been a "President of all the people," one who does not kowtow to pundits or polls, but knows in his own mind what to do for the people who he truly serves.

Sigh.....Why do people have to be so critical of President Bush?Why dont you get of your butts and do some research.Do you really believe everything you see on the news becase if you do you need to wake and smell the political bias against him and the Republican Party.I mean if they really where fair and balanced why dont they show a country being liberated and being rebuilt?No it is chaos,civil war,destruction isnt it? I mean people act like he really wants the troops to stay over there and die which i believe no one wants Republicans,Democrats, Independants alike.

It isn't about President Bush, anymore than it was about Former President Clinton when he was in office.\n\nWe have people in the U.S.A. and outside the country who have confused name-calling, rumor-spreading, and undermining the country in the eyes of the World community\n\nfor\n\ndissent, disagreement, and protest.\n\nThey do not know the difference and are being seditious.\n\nWhat is worse, most of us have been silent about it, or even voted for the ones who do it.\n\nI'm a Democrat.  I strongly urge all U.S.A. citizens to stand together against this kind of behavior.  Disagree!  But be U.S.A. citizens, first.\n\nSee those who wish to destroy our constitution, attack capitalism, attack democracy, attack religion, attack our elected officials (even the ones who act criminally) as the real enemies of our country.  Take action.  Respect their free speech, but ANSWER THEM every time.  When politicians do these seditious things, don't vote for them.  When they act criminally, wait until they are CONVICTED, then never vote for them.  Stop condemning the elected officials and never let anyone convince our children (as some are trying) that our government is bad, "big brother", or whatever.  WE ARE THE GOVERNMENT!\n\nIF you stand up against them, they won't be able to hate our Presidents with impunity.  They will be alone, and know it.\n\nThere's a lot more of us, than them.  Join us.  Don't call them names.  Don't join them, but call them on their behavior everytime.

It seems that those on Bush's side are retarded. They wallow in ignorance and refuse to acknowledge the destructiveness of their beliefs that are responsible for the evental collapse of this country. Sooner or later, they'll either wake up and realize that they are responsible for much of this country's problems or die out from killing each other.
