Ok, so how did Bush win in 2000?

-if you voted for him, what made you decide to vote for him?
-If you voted against him, why?


How about in 2004?

-How did he win + the previous questions above.
-Did you vote differently in 2000 and 2004 (once against, once for him or vice versa?)


Just asking, because a lot of people seems to be unsatisfied with his performance, but in reality he wouldn't be around if people didn't vote for him. Same to be said to those who could vote for someone but didn't vote at all.

Another thing. Clinton was impeached, because he had a sexual conduct with an intern. He has done no damage to neither foreign or domestic problems by this act, maybe dignity and order what is/isn't allowed in the Oval Office, although I always thought it wasn't something significant as they made it out to be. I'm not a Clinton fan and I might sound like a conspiracy nut, but the entire circus about was to scare voters away, to make many vote for a Republican candidate in the future. This is just a personal opinion, I got nothing to back this up, just my gut feeling.

Ok, let's assume there was some cheating going around, but that doesn't explain everything. 50% or the country voted for him, and let's assume they cheated 5%- this is just something I made up. You still got 45% of the people voting for him.

Listen to "this" George W. Bush from 2000 . You'll be for a surprise:

This is not the same person we got to know.

Anybody remember the words "hanging chads?"

It was the Republican's turn. Burned by the Republicans, the US goes to the Democrats and back and forth between the frying pan and the fire until somebody gets tired of us and runs a plane into a building to get our attention.

No, I disagree, watch that video I posted above. He was actually very conservative or at least he made people to believe he was.

Ok , after you watched that, watch this and note, he actually seems to be smarter; able to say sentences he would stumble on today and he makes a lot of sense. Almost makes me think that he got some sort of disease or his brain is gone AWOL over the years.

Watch this 'smarter' Bush:

It's more excusable to be stupid in this country than diabolical.

I think the bigger (and more relevant to the present) question is:

does it not make anyone nervous that the new administration is attempting to guarantee the dominance of liberalism/Democrat control of the federal government by assuring a permanent majority electorate by handing out welfare checks and calling them "tax cuts"???

Already, more than 40% of wage earners don't realise a tax burden.. the expansion of welfare payments to those not making more than ~$200K/a assures that the number will increase to more than 50% of wage earners who won't actually pay taxes...
