Did the American people learn their lesson or will they again choose and idiot next election?

no one really chose him, haven't you figured that out? He rigged it both times. The good thing is that he can't be elected again, the bad thing is that they can just rig it again.

That's right! But you forgot to tell them to go screw a goat while they're at it. \n\nAnd more of us voted for Bush than voted for Kerry. There's a lot more Bush supporters than people realize, but they get tired of being shouted down by the whacked out liberals who don't like him.

The people who elected him. He sucked the first time, so what so they do...VOTE HIM IN AGAIN!! How dumb can you get? Did you think he'd get better with practice?

They are playing the blame game and avoiding the real issues that Americans voted for last week.

NOT AT ALL. America wont make the mistake 4 times!

You didn't. He tweaked the system to get "elected" the first time, and somehow managed to get re-elected.\n\nHe's only staying a couple more years though, max. Better luck next time, people - vote wisely. Sigh.

What's a mistake is that we let stupid people (such as yourself, for example) to vote.

it is the up comming election, when the democrats find out that the nation is still voting republician.  And of course another time they can sue and claim they really won but the election was stolen from them again.\n\nBut all jokinig aside, it is just another mid term election,  the party that is in power may or may not change.  But nothing really will change,  Bush is going into the last 2 years, which is his lame duck years so little should be expected at best anyway.

Yes, absolutely. I saw one report that the world didn't blame the Americans for anything done by Bush in his first term because they dildn't know what he was about. But when they reelected him, knowing what he was about, they became complicit in his policies. So yes by the majority voting for Bush in 2004, you could say the American people are partly to blame for the debacle in Iraq.

i also wonder \nthe swing 2 the democrats must re-new some faith in democracy, doesn't it?\nlets hope the next US election is a darn-sight uncontroversial as the last!\ni didn't realise u could influence the vote that easily with money u can buy the presidency, regardless of votes, strategy or qualifications!\nmore missing votes/voters, hanging chads & more corruption, can't possibly b accepted again, \ncan it?\n\ni'm in the UK and Bush scares the hell outta of us Brits.\nBush Part 3  ( Jed or whoever ) would probably kill off democracy 4 good!

The longer they take before an election, the more likely they are to mess up and take themselves out of the competition. Not so very bright.

The guy will be out soon (2008, I think, unless he goes for another war and declares National Emergency or soemthing to postpone elections), you Americans allowed him to cheat at the polls and become president the first time and compounded that stupidity by reelecting him the second time around-maybe you like to inflict pain on your own selves? Well, then bear the consequences of your foolishness with the fortitude that you Americans boast so much about in your history, the speeches of some of your really great presidents.\n\nMaybe you'll elect someone better next time around? Someone who's a less of a warmonger and cares as much for the blood of peoples from other nations, as well his own countrymen?\n\nAll I can say is All the best! For only when you do well, will the globe benefit.\nst

It's premature to expect anything.  Politicians regularly promise the world and even promise to tie a nice little bow around it too.  Nobody wants promises - they want results.\n\nAnd whether anything is REALLY going to change or not is still completely a matter of speculation.  We will all have to wait and see.\n\nBut, as the saying goes, "the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results".  We may not get different results from the governement after this election, but at least we're not doing the same thing over and over.  And most of America clearly doesn't like the way various things are going.

Well said. Republicans had their chance and blew it. Greed and political expediency overcame good government. Now they lost credibility with not only the entire world, but with voters as well.  Funny and scary thing is that they still dont understand that what they were doing was wrong.

Republicans have no shame. The intelligent ones will tell you they know the election was stolen. Then they make weak excuses like "The Democrats would have done the same thing if they could have." What crap! I hope the Democrats do get the chance to steal an election and they take it. Revenge would be sweet.

He sure did, Dubya thought he could continue on course and to heck with the rest of America and what they thought. He never listened. This country is a mess because of the 12 years of leadership of the GOP. Most of our fellow Americans got ticked with Bush's stupid policies. I got online early this morning on yahoo news and really I can't thank America enough. My think-you is extened to both Dems and Repubs, I am fully aware that some repubs stood up for America and their fellow Americans by voting Dem. Today is American's citizens victory.

As a Lying red-necked twirp, just like MOST americans do.\nHe is not an IDIOT, he's an intellectual celibate.\n\nHowever, most of the world sees Americans as 300 million \nG Dumbya's running around in our pickup with a gun rack. \nSince we are void of any grammatical skills and can not say any word with more than 1 syllable without difficulties and maintain coherent thought.\n\nOh well, we can't blame them we allowed him to steal the election not once but twice.
