George Bush appears to me as someone that is really really stupid, backwards, dangerous and an outright idiot.
Why would Americans vote for him? |

Not getting involved in American politics, it just seems like its extremely difficult to kick a President out half way through their term.
Its kind of like someone that is stuck in a bad relationship but never actually leaves that person through some misplaced sense of loyalty and a fear of change and something new. There is a certain amount of security is what you currently have and know. |

I think youll find that most people dont identify with Texan values. You will, however, find that people identify with the feeling that our country is losing the core values that made America. God, family, country.
All are mocked and spurned by the new age/new wave liberals who think that all the things that made our country get to where we are now (or were 40 years ago before they started coming out of the wood work) are outdated.
Funny, they lasted several hundred years and were fine until heads started criticizing stuff. Funny how that works.
So yeah, many Americans feel alienated from what we've always seen our national image to be. We all feel like we are part of a decaying empire, something rotting from the core out. So we chose a man who seems to stand for many of the things that seem so outdated these days. Fighting back, holding people accountable for their actions, and holding nations and people to a moral and ethical code.
For the moral relativists who wonder "who is America to say that?!" my answer: "We are America, the most diverse union on Earth" We have values and codes from around the world, and it seems to turn out pretty universal, in the end. So much for relativism. Apparently freedom breeds a certain type of morality.
So to all the people wondering what the hell just happened:
You were misled by a liberal media into thinking that Americans aren't sick of taking and watching their country get trashed as it heads down the road of immorality and decay.
Apparently Fox News WAS the right source. Sucks to have been reading BBC and Al Jiz for your news on American politics.... |

offense is not meant, although you most likely will take it...that post was a joke, right? |

Telling someone not to take offense and then calling them an inflammatory isnt the way to not get people offended.
Not that I am.
The person who I think should be in office is, and people who continue to attack dont really bug me any more. It turned out pretty much like I thought it would.
And no, thats not a joke. Ive never found any of our presidents, even the screw-ups, to be "funny". Its deadly serious for males between 18 and 25.

So forward thinking is bad, and we should all stick to the thoughts and ideals of our forefathers? |

I love all the non-US citizens bashing Bush. Hell, pick your country and imagine China sent 500,000 troops to invade you tomorrow. Who the hell would you be calling to bail you out of that mess?
George W. wouldnt be looking like such a moron then, would he? |
The U.S would not lift a hand if China invaded their country. It would be economic suicide for both countries to fight each other. |
