Poll: Will you vote vote for Bush in the next election?

[Cerebus451]

I didn't vote for him in the last election, probably not in the next either. Of course, I can't say for certain until I go into the polling both and pull the lever.

 

[UNCjigga]

If NC Senator Jim Hunt gets tapped for the Democratic nomination, then I'll definately vote for him (or whoever picks him for their running mate.) Of course, that's assuming my citizenship gets approved by then.

 

[Spamela]

no way - the middle east situation is showing his innate incompetence.

i'll vote for mccain again if he runs.

Yeah, and I see Clinton got a lot done on the Middle East too. The Middle East situation is bigger than any one president. Where's the EU in all of this. Oh yeah, bashing the US for not doing anything. Hypocrites.

clinton was very proactive in trying to get a settlement. the bush administration allowed the situation to degenerate until it was forced to act. how can we act against terrorists when we need the cooperation of middle eastern governments (that are now pissed at us?).

 

[Don Vito Corleone]

I have been favorably impressed with President Bush so far, but I have no idea how I will feel in 2 1/2 years, so to me this poll is way premature. I think with all due respect the McCain boosters here are positing a wildly unlikely scenario - McCain has one of the most conservative voting records in the Senate and would never run as a Democrat, nor would he stand a chance in a Republican primary unless President Bush falters badly. At this point it is clear as mud who the Democrats will nominate, but Gore seems like the likely candidate. Unless things change, it appears Bush would beat him.

An interesting historical tidbit: GWB is the third descendent of a U.S. president to be elected to the presidency. None of the three won by popular vote (JQ Adams did not win the popular vote OR in the electoral college but was selected by the House of Representatives pursuant to the 12th Amendment, and William Henry Harrison, like Bush, lost the popular vote but won in the electoral college). Both of the first two were voted out in a landslide after serving one term. I do not think this will happen to President Bush, but it is a historical oddity nevertheless.

Oh spare us. Clinton wasn't pro active until his last days in office. He had 7 years of nothing before Arafat turned down the greatest deal ever offered to him.

<< It depends on who runs against him. >>

Amen to that. I'll never understand how so many people automatically cast their vote for one party without considering the actual candidates themselves. 😕

Undecided

Bush had done a great job leading the nation through the Sept 11 crisis. I like how he has called for the people to volunteer more.
I wanna see how he handles the Israel/Palestine ordeal.....so far I'm not impressed.
And if the economy rebounds, he'll probably get my vote.

Exactly. Now if he were to run today I probably would vote for him. :Q:Q:Q:Q:Q:Q:Q:Q

<< My money is on McCain. (to be Dems nominee) >>


Why on earth would the Democrats nominate a Republican?

Wasn't Willy getting a bob job from monica while arafat waited in the Rose Garden for a meeting/photo op? Yeah!!! Thats givin' her all shes got captain.

lol It blows my mind people still voted for him. Probably blew his too! 😀 (pun intended) 😀

I think they were voting against the Republicans more than they were voting for him or the Democrats. Every time Republican Circle Jerks like Trent Lottor Tom Delay would open their mouths it was like hammering a nail in the coffin of Bob Dole chances to win the elelction. If the republicans could have muzzled the Morons, Clinton probably wouldn't have seemed so appealing to the rest of the American voters.

 

[BlueApple]

This will be an interesting next few years. First we have the mid-term elections which as of now look like they could go either way and a president who has good ratings but that could change. Look at Bush Sr. at this time into his presidency, he was well liked too but lost in a land slide. I think anyone who can call 2004 now either is a fool or should be playing the lottery.

 

[signalman]

I will vote for Bush with pride. After all the jokes about his supposed lack of intellect, he has turned out to be a strong and admirable leader of our nation. We will never have to worry about Clinton-style morals problems with him in office.

 

[Gonad the Barbarian]

I don't won't to vote for Bush, but if it's between he and Gore I will. I like Bush but not much of his entourage (Cheney, Ashcroft, even Powell). Gore is a nut. Ideally I'd like to see McCain & John Edwards buck the system and run as Libertarians.

 

[b0mbrman]

If I feel that he will do a better job than the person he is running against, then yes.

List of some Washington involvement in Israeli-Palestinian peace process during Clinton years:

13 September 1993
Yasser Arafat and Israeli PM Yitzhak Rabin sign Declaration of Principles in Washington on the basis of the Oslo channel. Israel recognises the PLO and gives them limited autonomy in return for peace and an end to Palestinian claims on Israeli territory.

28 September 1995
Arafat and Rabin sign the Taba agreement (known as Oslo II) in Washington to expand Palestinian self-rule in the West Bank and Gaza and allow Palestinian elections (held on January 20 1996).

November 1995 - March 1996
Peres decides to go all-out for peace deal with Syria, in contrast to earlier cautious negotiations under Rabin. Considerable progress is made in talks at the secluded Wye Plantation in Maryland.

23 October 1998
Netanyahu signs Wye River Memorandum outlining further Israeli withdrawal from the West Bank after US pressure to end 18 month's of stagnation on the Israeli-Palestinian peace track.

Upon completion of each phase of Palestinian commitments, Israel agrees to transfer a specified percentage of land to the Palestinians within the context of the "further redeployments" as stated in previous agreements.

You must admit, Bush is doing much less than the Clinton & Bush Sr. Administrations in Israel/Palestine. His administration should at least consult Christophier, Albright or Baker for some advise in that area of the world.

<< Am I the only one that voted undecided? I've wait and see how things are in a couple of years before I say one way or another. >>


Yawp. That's exactly how I feel...how can all of you make a decision without all the facts?...or do you even care about facts?

But if the election were held today and he went up against Gore, I'd take Bush in a heartbeat

Is it really that simple?😉

Of course not...sex appeal will *always* be worked into my final decision. 😉

LOL We are talking about what CLINTON did, not what happened during the time he was in office. Over half of your examples are things that went on during his presidency, Not what he made happen. He only really got interested in making a legacy for himself in the last 1 perhaps 2 years in office.

I suppose next you're going to give him credit for the economy

 

[Red Dawn]

<< I suppose next you're going to give him credit for the economy >>

No, that was in spite of both the Democrats and the Republicans.

Interesting and how was Clinton involved in any of this or of what significance are these, other than the Syria treaty? Notice the tensions (and terrorism) were still there during Clinton's tenure, even after Isreal gave in time after time.
