If so many people dislike Bush why did they vote for him?

Because Kerry was an unacceptable alternative.  He was horrible then, he is as bad now.\n\nTo Linda:  Bush did win the popular vote in 2004.

Your question is out of date. It's really the president that people don't like and the fact that so many voted against him has already helped dissipate anti-Americanism among most people I know

Well, the economy has improved (since and despite 9/11 and Katrina). And he didn't draft citizens for his wars.\n\nBut I still hate Bush, particularly since he (and most of his base) are homophobic, want to protect their own secrets while trying to find ours, and their base would gladly form their own Christian theocracy in the middle of America if they could.

Honestly, I did vote for him.\n\nKerry did not have any proof or way of fixing the war and the problems. He just said he was going to do it without any explaination.\n\nAnd then I asked myself...\n\n"Who would Osama or Hussein want to win?"\n\nObviously, they would want Kerry. So.... I voted for Bush.\n\nThere were several other reason why I voted for him like leaving the desert for offroad racing, etc..... but those are the main reasons to why I voted for Bush.\n\n\nBut let me tell you... I am upset with what is going on now. I don't regret my vote, since Kerry has pretty much shown he is crazy lately, but I am disappointed with how Bush is handling everything.

No because americans dont support our country and militant combatants, they all seem to want to hate bush when he has been the biggest supporter of all, his job isnt the easiest

well, the majority of them don't.  The chance of the exit polls being wrong in Florida, Pa, and Ohio is 16 million to one\n(they showed Kerry winning in a landslide) so the majority of Americans wanting Bush but the rep secretary of state in Ohio, and republican owned voting machines rigged it for Bush.\n\nThose that do vote for Bush tend to be religious right thinking the reps actually do something about abortion besides rhetoric and using it for votes and who forget the liberal teachings of Jesus substituting their own beliefs thinking they are being good Christians rather than hypocrites or sincere people who are misguided or not openminded, rich people, people who think they have a shot at the American dream, people who hate helping people with social programs, hypocrites, etc.  Some are moderate reps unhappy with the neocons but who can't bring themselves to vote for a liberal. Some are in the habit of it thinking today's reps are like those of old which they aren't.  Many of them hate the poor and are excessively into war and fear.

He sucks and maria in "we" u mean me. And George W. Bush sent soldiers to Iraq. That's why Farenheight 9/11 was made for. He won because he was voted by red necks from Texas. And the people who voted for him are going to get more soldiers killed.

Because they voted for him....

Yes!! He is a moron and doesn't pay attention to the opinions of the majority of the American people (not including the opinions of people in other countries). \n\nWhen you search "hate george bush" on Google you get almost 13 MILLION results!!!\n\nJust look at the statistics and you'll know:

Bush is an awful president and it's shameful to see so many people who like him. \n\na couple of reasons to hate him: \n\n1- He had Bin Laden cornered and had the resources necessary to find him wherever but then he decided to go to Iraq for no valid reason and he is not even trying anymore to bring the greatest criminal to custody. \n\n2- Bush does not appoint people based on their abilities.  Look at Michael Brown at FEMA, his supreme court nominees, etc.  He gives jobs to his friends regardless of the fact they are incompetent for the position.

I know, If people didn't like him after the first four years of his presidency, then why did they vote him in for another four years

This question is too vague.\n\nObviously you do not like our current president.\n\nI voted for George W. Bush twice and think he is a wonderful president.

Absolute geniuses. Bush supporters aren't regular Americans, it doesn't even matter if he gets their vote. The real supporters of bush are the multi-millionaire business men. They put millions into getting him the job and now they are getting rewarded ten times over - tax cuts for the rich, huge increases in military budget, environmental protection of the issue, access to Iraqi oilfields. He (well Cheney and the people who really make decisions) is serving his constituency very well. It's a pity they comprise around 0.1% of the American population.\n\nAs for the regular people who support him, worst kind of idiots!

I'm American and I seriously still don't understand why so many people voted for him!

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.

Because John Kerry was a really bad opponent. I don't know what the Democrats were thinking when they backed him to run for president. A lot of people who voted for Bush were actually just voting AGAINST Kerry. Maybe if the Dems could come up with a good candidate they might get back in office.

No, I for the life of me cannot figure out anybody that does. He is the worst president ever. I voted for Kerry because I knew that Bush and his policys were wrong for America.
