Lying or not he was wrong and this country paid for it in blood and money and some of you doubled down and voted for Bush a second time.

As I've said many times, a vote is cast sometimes for the lesser of two evils.
At the time of the election we had two choices. Keep the guy that started it and give him a chance to finish or put the war in John Kerry's lap who, BTW also supported the invasion based on faulty intelligence. So he was wrong too. How would he have been a better alternative if being wrong disqualifies someone?
Based on the fact that Kerry, just a couple of days ago, told our Marines in Yemen to hand over their weapons to Yemenis, official or terrorists hasn't been determined yet (against the rifleman's oath that is ingrained in every Marine) and walk away, I don't think we would have been better off with him in the White House in 2004. In fact, if Kerry had been elected there is a good chance the liberal savior, Obama, would not have been elected in 2008.
Was Bush the best president? Maybe not, but he was the better choice in 2004.
