When did you stop supporting Bush? - Election & Politics

Wait for poll...

If your reason doesn't appear, choose the year and give an explanation of your last straw.

For me, it was the Senate Intelligence Committee's hearings on the reasons why we went to war with Iraq and Bush subsequently putting the hearings on hold. (Was resurrected after the Democrats gained a majority in the Senate, but the hearing remained strictly bi-partisan throughout.)

ALL OF THE ABOVE!!!!!!! BUT IT STARTED WITH 9/11

I still support him and what he is doing for our country.

I wouldn't say I've ever stopped supporting him. Do I think he has done everything right, nuh-uh. But, I've never had to walk in his shoes. I don't know squat about doing that job. He can't please everyone all of the time. It just won't ever happen.
However, I will say this. I have been in his corner less and less over the last 2 years. And, I have NEVER liked listening to him speak publicly.

I knew there would be a lot of people who support Bush. Everybody has a different opinion on what matters affect them, and if you feel that the good outweighs the bad, then you're perfectly right in supporting Bush.

I only put the most publicized bad events in Bush's presidency, because I want to see how many people have changed their minds, and how far into the presidency it took those people to change their minds. I am not saying that it is good to either be for or against Bush... In fact, I am saying that your own stance is your own stance and you should be proud of it.

Wow I am kind of shocked so many people said they still support him because last time I saw an approval poll he was only at 30 percent. He was like neck and neck with Nixon hehe (not really Nixon was at 24%)
