Why Do YOU Think Bush Is Such A Colossal FAILURE? Then Why Anyone

[DistressedAmerican]

would vote for him?

I try and try to understand!

I simply have no good answer for either question!

Come on! Explanations? What makes these people tick?



Edited to avoid unintentional copycatism. think I still had mopaul's question in my head when I first wrote it...

[demnan]

1. People like people they can feel superior to?

I don't know.

[babylonsister]

2. The sheeple voted for him

because we're all so incredibly safe now, doncha know! Nevermind that the number of insurgents have exploded since his big brain fart! And I feel so secure...NOT!

[DistressedAmerican]

5. Keeping Us Safe Is A Business Now!

What? You don't think they are doing a good job of winning hearts and minds? Establishing "security"?

Pardon me while I phone my buddies at the justice department!

"Hello? Alberto Gonzalez please..."

11. And freedom is on the march! (insert BIG eyes roll here) nt

23. Here in Tx,it was dictated from the pulpit

My rep. co-workers were basically told to vote Bush,since he embraces "everything Jesus Stands for"...their quote,not mine.

[Avalux]

3. Daddy

This country went through a profound psychological change after 9/11 - * was marketed as protector, tough guy - Daddy.

People voted for him based on emotional reasons - not because he's a good leader. He won't let anyone hurt us!!

[ClassWarrior]

4. He's not a loser - he's a CRIMINAL.

"Losing" isn't the problem - winning by cheating and manipulation is.

NGU.

6. Edited it to ready FAILURE. Broader Term! War Criminal Can

fit under it with all of the other problems!

10. Hi ClassWarrior.

Mkay......I've seen NGU on your posts; what does it mean?

[warrior1]

7. It's called

Failing upwards.

I work with people like this. They do nothing, break all the rules. But because they kiss the boss ass they get rewarded.

21. The Gannon Way

to fame and fortune. Don't forget your chapstick.

8. It's a well-kept secret that 50% of the voters ....

... are below the median in intelligence. This was once taught in high school but has been dropped in favor of the Lake Wobegon Plan.

[DistressedAmerican]

14. Can't Remember Who Said It?

"Think of how stupid the average American is. Then realize that half of them are stupider than that."

or something along those lines. Heard it recently. Anyone Know?

[Media_Lies_Daily]

15. Is that the 50% that didn't vote for anyone?...

...or is it the 50% represented by the electronic voting machines that declared Herr Busch our Fuhrer once again?

[earth mom]

9. It's the greatest mystery of our time!

No, but seriously, I think many rethugs have bought into the racist propaganda that muslims are evil and that all they want to do is kill us. Not to mention far too many rethugs are sociopaths who care nothing about anyone but themselves. The rethugs with a conscience are starting to see the light and are leaving the party, but I don't think there are enough of them to make a real difference.

p.s. I like your sheep-it's one of my favorities. :)

[Media_Lies_Daily]

12. Did anyone vote for him? I know the electronic voting machines said so,..

...so it must be true, right?

[stellanoir]

13. Look at it this way. . .

Only 60% of eligible voters voted. He allegedly only won by roughly a 3% margin. There is plenty of statistical evidence that suggests that 5-10% of the vote tallies were tampered with.

I know in my "deep blue" state Kerry was polling in the low 70 percent prior to election day. The votes were mostly taken by optical scans. He won my state by winning only 60% of the vote.

It's my firm believe that 10% discrepancy was shifted to * to bolster his popular vote win in many places around the country and to further create the illusion of his mandate and "political capital." It's total bull.

It's also my believe that at best, no more than 20% of the popluation at large really voted for *.

When more people consistantly vote for American Idle than vote for President (yeah I know underage kids can vote and they can vote more than once-but still), there is something seriously wrong with the culture. Most people are simply not paying attention. It's really sad.

17. No Matter How You SLice It Down, There Were Still Tens Of Millions

of them. Maybe the election should be a reality show? Why the hell not!

[no_hypocrisy]

16. They didn't vote for him. They voted against Kerry.

Plus the computer voting machines were rigged. The 2000 and 2004 presidential elections were stolen.

[Warpy]

18. He's no black sheep

He's what that rotten family strives to produce: someone with no empathy, compassion or conscience; a rapacious SOB who thinks he is entitled to have the rest of the world service his needs.

That whole family just aint right.

[LuPeRcALiO]

19. As Galloway put it: we threw our votes away for a pack of lies.

God bless America.

[oblivious]

20. I'm tempted to respond that nobody likes a liar or mass murderer.

But as you point out, tens of millions of people voted for him.

So I guess I'm wrong. Lots of peoplelike liars and mass murderers.

[DistressedAmerican]

22. Very Sad And Very True!

[leftofthedial]

24. some people are evil

some people are religiously insane

some people are stupid

some people are ignorant

some people are gullible

Add 'em up and you get enough to put the bushturdgang within cheating distance

2000 was a coup. they are close to the point where they don't need any actual votes

[Orsino]

25. His is a fantastic SUCCESS story.

Despite an utter lack of any special intellectual gifts, courage or leadership potential, he has triumphed over his repeated failures, and helped to foist an incredibly hard-to-sell corporatist agenda upon working Americans, and an unwinnable war upon the world.

All it took was money.

[DistressedAmerican]

26. Kicker!

[barb162]

27. he's an incredible success IMHO

From being a lousy student to lousy business owner to wino, etc, he sure got himself a high position twice in a row now, didn't he.

[DistressedAmerican]

28. I Should Have Specified "As President"...

I'll admit that brand of stupefying suck-cess!

[barb162]

30. okay, then he still is a huge success as Prez as he got

re-elected despite Iraq, the economy, tax cuts for the rich, joblessness, etc. He has fooled most of the people most of the time.

[Individualist]

29. His vile parents are the reason he's a failure

As for why people would vote for him, one word - ignorance.
