Because I believe many conservatives, and yes Dems, vote not by facts, but by feelings.
Here's the question...
Suppose Clinton were in office and through arrogance, assumptions and contradictions, he led us into a war that has cost us over 1300 of our best, with over 10,000 wounded, who signed every spending bill into law that crossed his desk and led our nation into unheard of deficits and unpayable debt, and made much of the world doubt our intentions and our honesty?
Bush was given an economy that was in recession. There was nothing he could have done with only 8 months in office. BTW, the economy is doing excellent now - thanks to good ole President Bush.Before 9/11 really the only thing people were looking at was Bush's handling of the economy, and he was doing a terrible job.

And you are absolutely wrong. The solution to a recession is more taxes. I forget the economic rule that is applied to that. I read it somewhere, I'll try asking my teacher because we did it in class.
Jufarius87 said:yea bush has done a great job for the economy saying otherwise is a liberal lie clinton basically handed bush a recession and he did exactly what needed to be done to fix the problem, he lowered taxes
Jufarius87 said:you are partially correct the deficit is terrible and bush hasnt helped but it isnt completely his fault either both parties in congress (and the executive level) have been passing the pork around at the expense of joe american so that they can get special interest at their side an example of this would be tom daschle's 180 billion in farm subsidies to the wealthiest of farmers, and he is a democrat! also we have been paying for africa aid bills the tsunami we have been paying for the war (hey 4 countries told bush he had wmd's and saddam didnt comply so it aint his fault)
also the tax break took a third of the clinton surplus but hey it spurred economic growth
basically what you saw was bush building back up clintons mess of an army (how do you think he freed up that surplus money? the military payed early...)
but in addition to this he himself and congress have passed tons of pork barrel legislation which is making the deficit bigger
bush is a neo conservative he is not nessicarily big govt although he is like the democrats a big spender i would like to go back to semi libertarian reagenomics and cut the pork barrel projects
hey in conclusion though bush>kerry imo
It looks "like America" because the inclusion of minorities into top positions is an appeal to that very group: the minorities. Why? to get votes
