Quick poll for everyone that voted for Bush back in 2004! Not attacking Bush at all ( before navy pride wets his bed) just curious if you would still vote for Bush?
 
for a bush vs kerry debate,i would certainly vote bush.for a bush vs gore,i would re look all possibilities,but still lening bush.

well lets just face it bush was a horrible president who's policy was made more by cheney and rove than himself,but compared to the ultimate flipflop who puts romneys etch n sketch to shame(kerry) and an environmental regulation robot(gore) bush still looks better by comparison.


but this is what we are seeing now,obama is a terrible president,yet he is still more favorable because his opponent is a flip flop with no substance.

awww the irony,how history repeats itself yet people expect a different outcome from the same method.

Why do you think Kerry would of been a bad president? Is it just the flip-flop issue?

flip flopping on issues,being dishonest with his vietnam record to overglorify a non glorious situation.

but the biggest point he had no substance,from watching his debates his entire strategy was to vote for him because he wasnt bush.no matter how unpopular bush was kerry couldnt shake off the etch n sketch thing like romney is dealing with now,and he had no actual plan or strategy to compete with bush.

so in the end who is more retarded,the retard with a plan or the college smart guy who was too stupid to compete with a retard?
 
Absolutely I would vote again for bush...Gore is an idiot and Kerry is a traitorous W$#(%T(#%R

Yes, because Al Gore might have had us 99 percenters living in caves until green technology would become affordable for the masses.

yeh thats a fair point! I watched the 2004 election from the UK and always saw Kerry as a weak leader but at the time I was a big fan of Bush as I was serving in the army and thought that Bush would get the job done. Looking back now im probably where you are, Bush's term ended in flames but I dont think Kerry could of stopped the train at that point.

You're right; it was John Kerry. My apologies. Then thank God the former future President didn't win in 2000. We might have been building daily campfires a lot sooner.

Im not sure where the world would be if AL Gore had won, he's an intelligent man no doubting that but I dont think he could of handled 9/11 the way Bush did. For all Bush's faults I thought he handled 9/11 pretty well considering.
 
Didn't vote for Bush. Voted against Bush. That meant voting for Kerry, but that doesn't mean I supported him, he just would have been better than the asshat Bush.

Yes I would vote for him in light of How Roberts and Alito voted on the two major gun issues versus QuotaMayor and Breyer and Ruth Bader G
 
Bush was the best choice we had at the time, so...yes...I would still vote for Bush.

Couldn't vote then, didn't really pay attention to either candidate seriously, nor the election.

then you missed out it was a choice between dumb and dumber,and somehow bush was the less stupid of two evils,like i said before its the same thing we are seeing with romney/obama.despite how much obama is hated he will still win unless a more popular candidate runs against him,right now this is not the case,rmney holds less popularity than kerry did,and kerry's whole campaign strategy was bush is bad im good vote for me because im not him!!!! and i have a plan for america,but you have to elect me president to find out what it is.

really looking back i dont think the democrats ever planned to beat bush,because they had plenty of candidaes who could have beaten him,but they backed kerry:doh

Change Kerry, and Bush, with Romney, and Obama and you'd be talking about this election :lol:

The only difference being Obama is much smarter than Bush.

That was on the other night. Love the Vote or Die song.

You don't get rid of anti gun fascism by ending up with cold dead hands. You stop it by making the gun grabbers' hands cold and dead

Sorry George C. Scott

I would hope that hindsight would have changed enough minds to keep that horses ass from a second term.

that has never been proven. Lanny Davis-a Yale Law Grad and Clinton white house counsel said Bush is very bright and called him a genius in getting along with people and understanding how people work and what motivates them.

Gore and Kerry continue to prove that Bush was the better choice.
