I think George W. Bush will win re-election in November against his Democratic challenger John Kerry because of national security & the war on terrorism after 9/11 more so than his domestic agenda, since it's going to be a close race even though I think it's ridiculous in politics when special interests groups from both sides attack President Bush or John Kerry personally instead of on the issues, I wouldn't doubt if Kerry uses that picture of himself with John Lennon with Give Peace A Chance in the background to try to get Beatles fans on his side, which would be so cheap, but politicians are politicians, whether they're Democrats or Republicans, besides I'm not a card carrying Republican or Democrat which is why I can think for myself instead of letting mindless political rhetoric from both sides tell me what to think & how to feel.

Personally, I hope it's Kerry - I think the world took a backwards step when Bush was elected. But enough politics from me - I'm British!!!!!!!

I think President Bush will be re-elected against his Democratic rival John Kerry because of national security after the 9/11 terrorists attacks on the WTC & the Pentagon more so than his domestic agenda speaking as a political watcher even though it will be a close election but I don't think it's going to be similiar to the 2000 election!!!

National security?? WTF R U talking, America (and the whole world!!) has become much more insecure than it has ever been, since GWB is the president. If he'll be re-elected, it can easily be the end of the world. (Let's just not forget that he seems to want to make a war against the whole arabian world, on the EUROPEAN territory ...)

Again, I know Bush has been a bad president but I just don't trust Kerry.

If you could explain to me why he's good I might reconsider.

I never said I though Kerry was good, I just think EVERYTHING is better than Bush. Including Kerry.

I can name at least a hundred reasons why I don't like Bush, but since you consider yourself far right wing you probably won't agree with any of them anyway.

15 Reasons To Hate The President

And these are only since he's been inaugurated! This guy doesn't waste any time ruining the world...

He cut a half a BILLION dollars from the Environmental Protection Agency' s budget. Who needs to look after the environment when there's all that oil drilling going on?

He approved a bill that denies financial aid to students convicted of misdemeanor drug charges (though convicted murderers are still eligible for financial aid).

He recently sent a delegation to the UN children' s summit to declare that the use of condoms is not a valid way to fight AIDS and that abstinence is the only solution. This is the view shared by some other countries such as Iran, Iraq, Sudan, Libya, Syria, and the Vatican. It seems that his policy of, "No child shall be left behind" has a whole new meaning.

He wouldn't sign the Kyoto Protocol agreement on global warming, which was ultimately signed by 178 other countries. He also told the entire European community that he would listen to their arguments, but he would not change his mind, effectively treating Europe like an 8 year old child. This may have something to do with why most of the world hates the US.

He rejected an international accord to enforce the 1972 treaty banning germ warfare. Of course that would mean that the US would have to stop producing biological agents too.

And talk about the fox watching over the hen house, he nominated former mining company executive Dan Lauriski as Assistant Secretary of Labor for Mine Safety and Health.

He allocated only 3% of the amount requested by Justice Department lawyers in the governments continued litigation against tobacco companies.

He prohibited any financial aid from going to international family planning organizations that provide abortion counseling, referrals, or services with their own funds.

He provided every member of the Bin Laden family living in the U.S. a chartered plane shortly after 9/11 to fly back home to Saudi Arabia without questioning them. One of GW' s first petroleum venture was partnered with the Bin Laden family and George Sr. has been getting filthy rich selling defense contracts to the Bin Ladens. These are just some examples of the many ties the Bush family has with the Bin Ladens.

He officially withdrew from the 1972 Antiballistic Missile Treaty, gutting the landmark agreement-the first time in the nuclear era that the US renounced a major arms control accord.

Refused to join 123 nations pledged to ban the use and production of anti-personnel bombs and mines, February 2001

September 2001: withdrew from International Conference on Racism, bringing together 163 countries in Durban, South Africa

Over the past 10 years, the US prison population has more than doubled. This is mainly due to unfair three strikes laws, and harsher drug penalties. OK so maybe W. wasn' t behind this one, but the Republicans are.

International Plan for Cleaner Energy: G-8 group of industrial nations (US, Canada, Japan, Russia, Germany, France, Italy, UK), July 2001: the US was the only one to oppose it.

George replied, "Ken who?" when asked about his relationship with Kenneth Lay, the CEO of Enron, during the federal bankruptcy hearings. This was after Enron gave him their company jet to use for his presidential campaign. George and Kenny were such good friends that Ken was actually seen giving wedgies to the president in the oval office. Yet he still replied, "Ken who?"
