im not a bush supporter but since you have no responses, i asked a bush supporting friend of mine and he said he was voting for bush "because he is a republican." i asked him what about that made him choose (ie: he obviously allies himself with certain republican beliefs/ideals) he said that keeping Bush is better for the country right now and that he had done a good job so far.

 

[nageov3t]

because john mccain is telling me to.

Hahaha... so true, I just asked a co-worker why he's voting for Bush, and the best responses he can come up with was "I'm a Republican, gotta support the home team" to which I replied "I'm a Republican too, but I am open minded". He also said something about cannot respect Kerry because the stories behind the purple hearts. Oh, and he doesn't believe in abortion (which then I asked does he believe in killing full grown adults instead, no replies).... all the right reasons to vote for Bush. Good one.

I'd like to see how many of those items are the same as the ones from 4 years ago. Cut and paste is Bush's friend, I think.

Because Bush is rehashing campaign promises from 4 years ago that were already broken or ignored.


Clear Skies Initiative? Yeah right... Bush has already weakened the Clean Air and Clean Water acts. Just more BS propaganda with no substance.

 

[GrGr]

The above is a list of what Bush promises he WILL do. Bush made a lot of promises he WOULD do before the last election too. And we all know what happened them (he run as a centrist uniter etc.)

What about the job he has done so far in his presidency? That needs to be taken into account as well doesn't it? What makes Bush worthy of a second term based on his record as president?

I think his point is that your post has Bush DOING a great many things, but in truth has TALKED about doing things far more.

Politicians are like that.

 

[Hossenfeffer]

Well, some reasons to vote for Bush would be:

You feel he's done a good job so far.

You feel that he would be better on this "war on terror"

You want to keep the Republicans in control of the House, Senate and White House


Personally, the administration freaks me out. Seriously scares me, but I'm not going to call someone stupid because they choose to vote for Bush. There are some arguably good things to come from the last 4 years. Granted, I have hard time coming up with any, but I'm sure they're there

 

[Todd33]

Reasons?

1. He is a conservative, he wants to spend less and balance the budget.

2. He uses war for a last resort.

3. The war on terror, if you don't vote for him you will die.

4. Bin Laden, he made it his number one priority to catch him, dead or alive.

5. WMDs, we are now safer, we have put an end to Saddam's plan of world domination.

6. Bin Laden and Saddam, they can no longer share intel and weapons.

7. Energy, Cheney worked with lobbyist to write our energy plans in secret.

8. Environment, he has rolled back 150+ environmental regulations, making many voluntary, it worked in Texas!

9. God, Jesus or someone who looks like him talks to GW and has a plan for America.

10. Democracy, we will install it around the world by force if needed, just like we had done for us in 1776.

I'm an atheist and I'm more Christian than Bush is!

Bush will not veto a Partial Birth Abortion Bill.

Bush is not an Anti-War Protestor and he did not testify against his own countryman during or after the Viet Nam War.

Bush is much more intelligent than Kerry.
