    Sure I would vote for him again. When you do what it right you often make a lot of enemies. Thats why everyone hates him.

    Sure I don´t agree with all he has done. But I would take him over anyone out there right now. Especially in the dangerous times we live in. I think the media has it all wrong (just as they did at the close of the Regan Amin) and Bush´s legacy will be considered good in 10-20 years.

    You have to be considered a good president before you can be called the last good president. I am curious why those who support Bush think he's a good president.

    #1, this sound like fear-mongering to me and I so tired of fear-mongering. #2, whatever influence satan may or may not have doesn't change the fact that he doesn't make our choices for us.

    As to the OP, considering what I knew at the time that I voted, I wouldn't change my vote in either 2000 or 2004. However, if there were a 3 term limit and Bush were running again, I wouldn't vote for him.

    I guess we can just go ahead and cancel the rest of the primaries and caucii, the conventions, the campaigns and the general election, then, being as this is already a "done deal", right?? :rolleyes:

    There have been too many 'preachers' and farmers and/or ranchers running the last several years, for me to get in.

    Several of the farmers and/or ranchers got elected. There was Dwight Eisenhower, Lyndon Johnson, Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, George W. Bush.

    So far, however, the preachers haven't.

    Let's see - there have been Pat Robertson, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Mike Huckabee ... :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    Bush couldn't be elected as our federal dog catcher without cooking the books, which he would do again.

    No, but I see no reason to think that any other result will occur.

    At this time, I see no reason to think:

    A) That Obama will lose to Clinton

    or

    B) That Obama will lose to McCain.

    My point was simply that the call to pray for leaders instead of complaining can go both ways.

    What does that mean? That makes no sense whatsoever...

    I'd vote for him again in a heartbeat. If Clinton or Obama are elected, be prepared for a worse version of 9/11. It's amazing the people on this board who believe everything they read in the media (who hates Bush and are quite biased in their reporting). Such ignorance...

    Agreed on all counts. Bush wasn't going to replace Cheney in '04, though, and felt he needed him in '00.

    I agree, and pray this scriptural prayer everytime a democrat takes office...

    Psalms 109:8
    (8)
    Let his days be few; [and] let another take his office.

    I believe it is those who believe like you described here who are truly ignorant. They ignore the devastation George W. Bush has done, yet proclaim what will happen when someone else is elected.

    I support Obama completely, but if he should not get the nomination, I will support Clinton as well.

    The good thing is that even if the impossible happens and McCain is elected President, he is the best of the sorry lot of republicans running this year.

    I didn't vote for Bush in the last two elections and if he could run again my motto would be:

    ANYBODY BUT BUSH

    He's already gone a long way towards destroying my country. I can't see why anyone would vote for him a third time unless they hated America.

    Here are just a few examples:

    When we strip away defense, homeland security and entitlements and adjust for inflation, leaving only discretionary domestic spending, George W. Bush has grown the federal government at a faster pace than Lyndon Baines Johnson.

    Discretionary spending went up in Bush's first term by 48.5 percent, not adjusted for inflation, more than twice as much as Bill Clinton did (21.6 percent) in two full terms.

    President Bush is pursuing a globalist agenda to create a North American Union, effectively erasing our borders with both Mexico and Canada.

    Secretly, the Bush administration is pursuing a policy to expand NAFTA to include Canada, setting the stage for North American Union designed to encompass the U.S., Canada, and Mexico.

    President Bush intends to abrogate U.S. sovereignty to the North American Union, a new economic and political entity which the President is quietly forming, much as the European Union has formed.

    I never realized the USA was a dictatorship. I always thought it was a democracy run by three heads of gov't. Wonder how Bush usurps the system to do all of these things...

    [QUOTE

    I wish that Bush had picked a VP in 04 that was a strong conservative, attractive, healthy, that could have stepped right into the nomination.[/QUOTE]

    I agree 100%. Right now, I honestly don´t know how I will vote this year. I am pretty disgusted with the whole thing.

    Now I would be interested if ANYONE has prayed and got a witness from God who they should vote for.

    I for one, prayed, and asked for guidance. And I most assuredly voiced my opinion, right and privalege by voting. This was actually the first time, that I have ever prayed for His guidance, and made sure that I did not falter in making my decision.
    This IMHO, is the most critical election that has ever been, or ever will be. I believe, God is attempting to allow, us one more chance to take a stand for Him, and that which is right. He is getting closer and closer to coming for His children.

    waiting on God

    I have prayed and will continue to pray until God gives me a clear answer. I have a feeling that something will happen or someone will join the race and then I will know without a doubt who to vote for.
