I could go on and on and on and someone stated the majority of the United States voted for him....I just don't get it, it seems the majority of the people that posted to this thread were not for him...the majority of the people I talked to were not for him but then again Kerry won Maine....
Well anyhow I have sucked it up and realize that bush is president for four more years....but doesn't mean I agree with the majority of the United States and yes I do have morals....
I think it should have been a mosaic of all the lost soldiers this year in the war. I dont think Bush deserves Person of the year, those people do. Must be the People who do the thinking for Time didnt really want to think about it
I don't even wanna go there... all these boys are over there fighting and dying for our country and then I pick my son up from the bus station for Christmas, and he says to me, " Mom, I don't wanna sound dumb or anything but who won the election?, we don't even know who the president is, I mean we have heard rumors, but they haven't told us"???????? What the Flip???????????

Poll victory doesn't justify bad policies
Democracies, or for that matter opinion polls, can seriously err in assessing an individual or a situation. Sadly, the US has elected a man who has wreaked unprecedented havoc on the world. George W Bush is a product of what noted historian Eric Hobsbawm called the clash between middle and coastal America. Middle America is a threatened peasant society that lurches towards aggression and fascism in its search for an anchor. Bush represents its coarse, conservative and nationalist cravings. After 9/11, he managed to convince his people that his country was in a state of siege and needed a strongman like him to take care of them. Armed with the ideology of neo-Conservatism, he let loose his armed hordes on Iran and Afghanistan, seeking to replace their 'despotic' regimes with 'democracy'. It takes staggering arrogance to believe that resentment against a local leader will translate into approval of a foreign power. Bush has run into a bog of problems in Iraq, with the people dead set against his puppet government, even as they had no love lost for Saddam Hussein.
He carries on regardless because he sees the world through the eyes of Samuel Huntington and Bernard Levin. Hence, he is convinced that he is waging an apocalyptic war between the Islamic and western civilisations. That the world's richest country should be led by a colonialist, with no respect or understanding of other cultures and nationalisms, rather than one who stands for America's liberal and inclusive traditions, is distressing. Bush will leave behind a world that looks askance at America. The people of Europe were appalled at the manner in which he chose to invade Iraq, without even a figment of a reason — the weapons of mass destruction never materialised. He walked out on the Kyoto Protocol, again showing no concern for liberal, informed opinion in Europe and his country. As for the economy, he is gradually turning it into a war machine. Does the world want such a person as 'man of the year'?
ya, but remember, we didn't give it to him 4 years ago!Quote:

Everyone has their own opinion.
And, I am of the opinion that that's what makes this country great.
Even though some of you here are wrong. (and that's MY opinion) :P
Well if he was "selected not elected " four years ago thats great cause then he CAN run again in 08.
Seems like 5 feet 11 inches is a tad tall for Napoleon complex. But then again I guess in Texas that's not all that tall!Quote:
