I'm not trying to start a huge argument here, i'm just curious how according to the polls we hear about back here, about half the country still back him.
Is his propaganda machine really that powerful over there?

Most bush supporters will not be on this website, in fact I doubt most are online a lot at all.
I dislike him, along with most people here, and since Kerry is our only viable option of getting him out, Im with him.

Sure...they've just ripped apart a country, caused a bloodbath, angered millions of muslims and de-stabalsed the entire middle east..... but at least they got Saddam.

Yeah post this in the Political Forum. Here you're just going to get a lot of Anti-American people coming in saying how we're the devil just because we live here.

Yes.
All the Republicans from his Administration who have since told the truth are subject to being smeared.
The television media in the US is controlled by huge corporations (like GE) that are war profiteering off Iraq, so they do their best not to hurt *their* guy.
It's all very corrupt, but luckily the newspapers are not as bad.
Actually I think even with the media in his pocket he'll still unravel by November.
He's average, and so is Kerry. I don't see any real benefit to electing Kerry instead of Bush (no, I don't mindlessly agree with the "anyone but Bush" argument) so Bush will get my vote. Democrats and Republicans are the same thing in modern politics, so it really doesn't matter which one is in "power." He has done a good job with national security since 9/11 and that's really the only thing I care about, although the constitutionality of his actions seem a little questionable at times. I also think changing course in the middle of the Iraq situation, no matter if you agree or disagree with us being there would be a grave mistake. Also, presidents do not have the kind of control over the economy to "create millions of jobs," as some would have us think (including some presidents and candidates) so, I don't find the natural depression of the current economic cycle to be his fault.
I think this was dealt with in the political discussion forum before.
