I Bush falls what will be his biggest undoing?

[7 of 11]

What do believe will be Bush's biggest [roblem come novemebr 2004?

I think if Saddam and Bin ladden are not found dead or alive and if the ecnonmy is not purring like a kitten he may be defeated in next years elections.

Then there is Iraq herself. If we don't have a democratic governemnt installed and that place starts to look like another Palestine, then Bush is done for!


Then there is the california factor. california is about to collapse fiscally and the root of this collapse will be because of the Enron type buddies that suck up to Bush. If/when cali collapses it could very well take the rest of the national ecnonmy with it. And when word gets out that it collapsed because of people connected to Bush, well it may not play too well with the voters. Of course Gray Davis(governor) will take the vast majority of the blame for being unable to stop the fiscal madness, but it was bush's buddies that set the" barn on fire" in the first place. Davis was just a lousey "firefighter!"

Iraq war(soldiers getting killed, not fixing the country)
Economy
Osama bin Laden
I also think dems will confront him about other smaller things like abortion, homosexual rights and other things.

What im scared of, is people will think he solved the middle east problem and he didnt do SHIT. I heard on MSNBC that Bush has raised 30 mil in 6 weeks.. nice to know our president worries about things like elections even though thats a year and 5 months away. We have millions of kids that go hungry but thats alright, hed rather give 3 billion to Pakistan. god i hate this man.. DIIIIEEEEEE.

bush could go on for ever with the media on his side and the ignorant public to vote for him.

Bushs main issues on getting reelected in 2004 are going to be the Economy. The republicans have had problems in the past with keeping the economy going. EVeryone has to remember it was democrat who go us out of the depression, and it will be the same here. Bushs father had the same problem with the economy and Clinton came in and made the economy so strong that people want him back!! The best way for dems to win is to talk about the economy, Iraq and Afghanistan. Those 3 things can almost garuntee (lets hope) a democratic president in 2004!

you'd think.... but then george bush proved that winning the election doesn't equal becoming president, didn't he?

Bush should be shot for his lack of understanding of what the people want.

Economy, Iraq, Bin Aldin, elderly, etc.

Bush is a dirt bag.

[paraducks]

In my opinion, I think we're a lot better with Bush up there than Al Gore.

No. Frankin D. Roosevelt's clusterfuck of New Deal programs did virtually nothing to stop the depression. For nine years he was in office the gains as a result of his programs were marginal at best and ultimately horrible in that it's created the dependence of people on government to be provider, something it should NEVER do.

What ended the Great Depression was World War II, not the New Deal.

No, Bush merely had the misfortune of the economy taking a dive when he was in office. Well, that and the "no new taxes"...I guess bigger ones don't count as new ones.

Clinton, on the other hand, merely had the luck of good times to boost his popularity. He really did little to improve the economy. And if you must give him credit, you must also give the rest of Congress credit--a primarily Republican body after 1994.

People essentially will keep the status quo when times are good (re-elect Clinton) and clean house when things take a dive (the defeat of Bush Sr.). Ultimately, the economy drives itself.

Of course, if the economy improves (which it likely could), people won't care much at all about foriegn affairs. I don't say Bush is a shoo-in, but honestly, the only candidate right now that it emerging with a lot of momentum is Vermont's Howard Dead. And personally, I think he's too far to the left to win a major election, at least at this stage of the game.

If that's how you want to be, I want to put a bullet in every Democrat as well, because none of them seem to realize people want to keep their own fucking money.
