ImmortalSnafu Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 I'd just like to ask all Bush supporters what exactly it is that Bush has done (or not done) to deserve reelection? I don't want to incite a flame war with anyone, but I'm just confused about what it is he's done to help. If someone could enlighten me, I'd much appreciate it :).

tyjet3 Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 I'm not a Bush supporter, but I don't think people are reelecting because of what he has done. People are just voting who they like better. Just like how people don't like Bush, people don't like Kerry. When put in to perspective, they both kind of suck... People that are Bush supporters are people that have litttle to no faith in Kerry. With Kerry's stance on war, people feel he is not qualified to protect our country like it needs right now. Yes, Bush got us in war in the first place, and that looks bad on his part, but Bush has more a experience with warfare. Kerry has been apposing war for over 10 years now and he doesn't have the experience that Bush has. The war is a big deal in this election. Most Bush supporters are voting for him because his strength with warfare (if you want to call it strength... :huh:). The problem is, it makes Kerry look weak because he was very anti-war for much of his life. The other reason Bush as supporters is his other polices on gay marriage and abortion. I personally think Bush is an idiot to declare a hardcore stance on this :P but many people believe his policies are great... Plus he has most of the upper class because of the tax cut. Over all it's not really what he has done, it's more of what he can do better than the other guy and where people personally stand on gay marriage and abortion. Just a quick note: I believe gay marriage and abortion to be personal things... Since when are all republicans against gay marriage and abortion!?! This should NEVER be seperated by political party... these things are personal stances, not political. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like how people don't like Bush, people don't like Kerry. When put in to perspective, they both kind of suck... Why are they able to even run for president if people don't like either of them?I really don't care who's becoming president unless they start another war or something.

Chunky_Moose Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 What has Bush done to help America eh? He's gotten a load of its people killed with the bodybags dripping back slowly but surely. And, he's taken away a bunch of your freedoms with the Patriot Acts...what a fantastic bloke... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He, unlike Bush, has fought in war. That would seem to me to give him all the qualification and experience in the world. Also, who would you rather have as the two candidates? I'd much rather have Howard Dean as the Democratic candidate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surian Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 My first choice has always been Dennis Kusinich (i probably butchered his name LOL). He has been the only potential democratic nominee that has ever seemed to be right on par with most of my beliefs. He does have some problems, but on the whole I belive in him much more than Kerry or Dean. Unfortunately, he was so left-wing that he had absolutely no chance of winning the nomination, let alone the presidential campaign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to war is not experience in war tactics. The problem is Kerry was VERY anti-war most of his life, so many people think he doesn't know how to handle a war-based presidence... yet again, it is Bush's fault that it's that way...

ImmortalSnafu Posted September 2, 2004 Author Share Posted September 2, 2004 Going to war is the whole point of tactics...you're applying tactics to win the war. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyjet3 Posted September 2, 2004 Share Posted September 2, 2004 Going to war is the whole point of tactics...you're applying tactics to win the war. no... If you were a soldier, they are not going to teach you how to invade an enemies country and the different tactics in doing so. If you ar a soldier you are taught to run, jump, follow orders, and shot people. That's about it. Didn't Bush take a Military Tactic Class in college? Even if he didn't, Kerry would still have no idea what to do... He would be depending on his cabinet entirly for military ideas. All he as ever wanted is peace, he doesn't like and doesn't under stand war tactics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
