Why Did Americans vote for Dubya twice?

You would think that his track record in life would have been proof enough of his incompetency before the first 4 years.

I think all those who voted for him the second time, and not the first time should realize the grave error of their choice. He has failed a majority of Americans both domestically and internationally. This is not Bush bashing at all. He had the whole country behind him after 9-11. He could have possibly been the great es president in the modern history of the United States but his evangelical policies have not only hurt his reputation but America's image. \nI would like to think that he is a good fella in person, but America and the world does not operate according to "cowboy" politics. \nI hope those who blindly voted for this administration recognize one thing. People are dying in Iraq, both Americans and Iraqis for a war that was initiated for weapons of mass destruction. The world knew there was no WMD in Iraq, maybe elsewhere, but not Iraq. This is a scar in World History and will be written in history books. The future generations to come will tell us one day: "This looked like Vietnam all over again"\n\nGod Bless America!

They were stupid enough to vote for him, they are dumber then a pile of rocks to back him. Why would you expect anything else but to call us anti-American. They have a limited mental capacity.

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.

I have been trying to figure out how they got elected the first time, the second time was a joke... must be those big districts with low population and ALOT of rednecks...\n\nYes I voted.\nYes I will vote next time. If more people took the time to care enough to vote, maybe we would have a better edge in keeping idiots out of that seat...

They didn't. Most Americans did not vote for Bush. Unfortunately, a lot of Americans did not vote at all.

I voted for Bush twice, and now I totally regret it. I thought Kerry seemed very weak and unsure of himself in the televised debates, and that bothered me. I also didn't like the fact Kerry claims to be Catholic, but believes abortion is okay. That didn't make sense to me.  \n\nYet now if I could vote again, I definitely would have voted for Kerry or someone else. Bush has done nothing but disappoint me. Our national debt continues to grow, we continue to fight a totally unjust war in Iraq. Hussein had absolutely NOTHING to do with the 9/11 attacks, and he did not have any weapons of mass destruction. He was never a threat to the U.S. as Bush told us.  But hey, never let the truth get in the way of a good war, right? \nBush continues to violate people's human rights by holding men without giving them a trial and torturing them in secret prisons around the world. He taps American Citizens' phones without a search warrant.  How is it okay to do all this, and yet we impeached Clinton over receiving some favors from Monica? What? Makes no sense. Give me Liberty or give me death! Down with tyranny and his light blue ties.

Remember only half of those who chose to cast their ballots voted for Bush. The other half thought he was an idiot, espeically in 2004 when we knew what Bush was about. \n\nIt's not that Americans are linguistically challenged when we vote for someone like Bush ( but remember, only half voted for him); it's that we need to choose between two candidates and in 2000, Gore actually won the popular vote and the election had to be decided by the U.S. Supreme Court. In 2004, the Democrats put up a weak candidate (Kerry) who wanted to discuss the Vietnam War and his involvement, when people were worried about Iraq. The other factor that allowed Bush to win in 2004 was that politicial strategist Karl Rove and his tactics still resonated with enough people. But by 2006, it did not. \n\nBush is also the product of an education system that allows money to scream louder than educational achievement or intelligence.\n\nAs a Briton, please don't judge Americans by our presidential candidates. Due to the punishing length of the campaigns, the necessity of raising tens of millions of dollars,  and the lack of privacy a candidate loses once they declare their candidacy, many of the best and brightest decline to run for the highest political office.

I voted for George W. Bush twice for Governor of Texas.\nI voted for George W. Bush twice for President of the United States.\n\nAnd damn proud of all four votes.

I think it was more of a vote against the Republican President than it was a vote for the Democrat running. But, really, it's not the first time people voted for something without knowing why. \n\nIn Philadelphia, there's a guy who sells soft pretzels on some corner downtown who always runs for mayor. One election, they put "the pretzel guy" at the top of the second column by mistake. He came in second and came close to winning, but I bet few actually knew they even voted for him.

1.  Americans don't necessarily hate Mr. Bush; they hate his sick policies, both domestic and foreign.\n\n2.  People voted for Mr. Bush before it became apparent he was a cheating, lying, stinking, bombing fraud.  Oh, and a war criminal.  \n\n3.  Mr. Bush did not "win" either election - he was put in power by those who are actually in charge and trust me, it ain't us Americans...\n\n4.  God blesses good Patriots - of which I am one. (Patriots stand up for their country against a crooked government).

Thoughts on Dubya are varied.  There are passionate, mindless people on both sides who will follow their parties to the end.  It seems the general consensus is exasperation with the administration.

Bushy only won the first time because his brother is the govener of Flordia if it wasn't for that, he wouldn't be president and this country wouldn't be in the mess it's in.\nAtleast when Clinton was president everyone could afford health insuance and nobody had to worry about their job being moved to China.
