Some people need heroes and some need demons.  Bush is no dunce when it comes to politics.  I don't know if hate is stronger than love but it surely will outlast it every time.

Theres this last 30 percent of people that still like bush and they would continue to like him even if he ate kittens.  They blindly support him and anything bad about him or Iraq in the media is thrown aside by them.

Remember when George Bush was a moron? A poor student who spent most of his life in a substance abusing haze, who cost America billions in the Savings and Loan bailout, whose only foreign policy experience was the “It’s a Small World” ride at Disneyland, and who stole the presidency despite forming sentences like the kid from “Deliverance”? Up until September 10 2001, Bush was the favorite whipping-boy of talk show hosts and columnists. But, in the wake of the Al Qaeda attacks, somehow that same George W. Bush became a hero. And a recent poll found that a surprising majority of Americans think George Bush is doing a good job as president. A good job? In the 3rd year of his presidency the US economy is still in tatters while he runs around touting a foreign policy that can be summed up as “Hulk Smash”, and people consider that a good job?\nMany people will tell you he's doing a good job because of his leadership after September 11. Huh? Why do they think Bush did a good job after September 11? Because he publicly led America’s response to the attacks? He’s the president, what other option did he have? Curl up in a fetal position and drool like Ozzy Osbourne? Hell, maybe if he got in a plane like Bill Pullman in Independence Day and actually joined the battle, fine, but giving him high marks for making speeches and waving his fists is like giving a student straight As just for showing up to class.\n\nMaybe they think Bush deserves extra credit for ordering post-911 military retaliation against those deemed culpable. *sarcasm*Wow, what a bold, groundbreaking move. Much as I supported the action, an American President ordering a military response is like the guy at the drive-thru asking if you want fries with your order. It’s the most basic, perfunctory function of the job.\n\nAnd what did he do after he took out the Taliban? Help keep Afghanistan from the clutches of nasty local warlords and gangsters? Start to build bridges with the anti-western world? Or maybe even pay attention to the continuing-to-falter American economy? No – he looked for someone else’s ass to kick. Bush with his military is like a boy who’s just discovered his penis – he can’t stop playing with it. After all, the War on Terror distracted people from realizing Bush was the same election-stealing, silver-spoon moron he was on September 10th, so why not keep it going?\n\nAnd so George W rooted around in his dad’s war-chest and pulled out some old scripts, and once again Iraq was the enemy. No question, Saddam Hussein is a world-class tyrant, torturer and oppressor of his own people. You’d think it would be easy to find a reason to take him out. But in the months since Bush focused his monkey-like attention on this shiny object, he still hasn’t been able to convince anyone but his cronies that war against Iraq would actually provide any benefit. It would de-stabilize an already volatile region, engender greater hatred of the west among Middle-Eastern nations, seriously damage any existing good relations with Arab countries, and likely only result in greater terrorism against the west. But Bush keeps stamping his feet and demanding his war, like a 2 year-old in a Toys R Us aisle screaming for a new BeyBlade.\n\nAnd that’s what really puts the lie to the notion that Bush is doing a good job – after months of trying, he actually has fewer people convinced the US should war with Iraq. If he was a halfway competent President, he could have cooked-up some decent Gulf of Tonkin, tossing babies from incubators propaganda by now. In fact, Bush is such a lousy president he can’t even convince Americans to go to war, which is, let’s face it, like trying to keep a dog from licking itself.\n\nI don’t really blame Americans. Their media’s become an extension of Ari Fleischer, they’re scared, and they want to believe – no, need to believe – that the guy in charge of their safety knows what he’s doing. It’s like th

Yes, y not?  Bush is trying to rid a country of murderous assholes.  Hes doing the right thing.  and all the people that say the war is bad and all that, just talk to someone in the military that has been over there.  they will all tell you how proud they were to be over there, to see the faces of the people they have helped and to have so many people coming up to them and thanking them, so just shut up about the war.

I don't think he's evil. I support Bush and have from the beginning. I hate when people diss the war and all this crap and blame him for their sons & daughters dying when they signed up for the service. They knew there was a chance they would go to war to defend their country. Imagine if Gore was our president, or Kerry. We'd probably all be dead because let's face it, Al Gore thought he invented the internet. Anyway, I love all you people who support Bush!! =) You're great.

As a person maybe, as a president he is better than was the option but he leaves a lot to be desired. I am on his side for most issues but not all and I find him to at least be willing to do what he believes to be right. That is rare in politics. He will make the hard choices and stand behind them and that takes balls in his line of work.

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.

I like President Bush and I think he is doing the best job possible during a period in history that is very difficult and dangerous. I think he will go down in history as one of the better presidents-- not necessarily well liked, but better. There's nothing that says he has to be liked, but he should do the best job that he can, and I think he is doing that.\n\nAs to why people dislike President Bush and slam him so, I think there are several reasons. One is the movie put out by the hatemonger Michael Moore. The man is so filled with bitterness, it is evident that he wants to blame somebody for what hapened, but he seems to be afraid of agreeing with the rest of the world that the perpetrators are the ones who have boasted that they did it.\n\nWhat is even more frightening is that he has convinced others to hate blindly-- all the while pretending that he is fair and unbiased-- so the people he has led into hatred also think they are being fair and unbiased!\n\nThe media have played their part. Good news does not sell newspapers, as an old saying goes, and this is also true of tv news. By selectively choosing polls and slanting questions, it is possible to make the popularity numbers imply almost anything. Once more, let us remember that this is not a popularity contest, but a serious job.\n\nI cringe when I hear people say, "If I was President I'd do this and I'd do that" when it is clear from what they say that they haven't any idea of what the President's powers and responsibilities are.\n\nI have already given several Answers on the topic of the war in Iraq and related subjects; for those who are interested in hearing what I have to say instead of blindly disagreeing with me, I welcome all to check them out instead of repeating myself here.\n\nI will limit my comments to two things. Saddam Hussein did have unconventinal weapons of mass effect; one of the most dangerous was counterfeiting of American currency on the grand scale, which was weakening the American economy. He was trying to do to us what we did to the Soviet Union with our 'Star Wars' spending years ago: cause incredible inflation and eventually bring down the national political system. It was a deliberate attack.\n\nSecondly, Saddam Hussein claimed and boasted of being involved with nuclear research, much as Iran is doing at this very instant. He wanted the entire world to believe that he had or was on the verge of getting nuclear technology. If at any point he wished to reassure the nations of the world, all he had to do was to allow the UN weapons inspections teams into Iraq and let them do their work. He refused. He wanted to control the rest of the world by means of fear.\n\nTo draw an analogy, when a man threatens a cop with a gun, the cop does not have to determine whether it is a real gun or a water pistol. That man is simply bought and paid for; his death is on his own head. If he did not want to take the risk of being shot, he should not have threatened the cop and has no right to complain.\n\nSaddam is an enormously swollen version of a schoolyard bully. He wanted to intimidate the rest of the world into giving in to him, or leaving him alone until he could become even more powerful. \n\nWell, he succeeded in intimidating the rest of the world. But we had a responsibility to see to it that he didn't retain that power, in addition to the ability to attack us economically. He has nobody but himself to blame for prompting us to attack him and remove him from his power base.\n\nIf anything, we should have taken Saddam down back at the time of the first Gulf War. President Bush is, unfortunately, reaping the consequences of the USA being a nation that acts with restraint and adheres to the doctrine of minimum use of force. That is not HIS fault.

I totally do not think that Bush is a good president. I recommend watching the movie Loose Change. It proves that 9/11 was a conspiracy, and that Bush knew about it. He let it happen so he could get oil from Iraq. Also, he is doing this new immigration law to distract people from raising high gas prices. This is my opinion.

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 they hate Bush and will do anything to try to make him look bad. They don't care if it hurts the USA. Think about it, read and listen to what they write and say and you can see for yourself. Read many different sources.

Good and evil don't exist in reality, at least not outside of the mind that believes in them. \n\nThey are only judgments passed by the individual from their own unique perspective. What one person sees as bad or evil may seem to be the only logical thing to do from some other perspective. The ideas of both good and evil are point of view specific. This is why people like bush and bin laden are either loved or hated. Bush is seen as good by people who share his fear based thought system. Those who have a compassionate concern for all of mankind often see him as evil.\n\nBin laden is much the same. He is a villain in much of the western world, but he is somewhat of a celebrated pop star on the Middle East. There are T-shirt shops that sell items with his picture as though he was Jesus. It all depends on your point of view or perspective.\n\nTo sum it all up good is the name we give to people who do things that we think we like. \n\nEvil is the name we give to people who do the things that we don’t like. \n\nThis is of course based solely on our particular point of view. \n\nLove and blessings\n\n Don

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.

George Bush is crazy with power.  Americans that actually do research and ask questions about this administration come to understand that it is evil and corrupt.  Why wouldn't he do business with his buddies?  After all, he did LET them attack us on 9-11.
