Bush's approval ratings

Re: Bush's approval ratings

Gosh, George lover's still don't get it. Let us see where we are:<br /><br />Oil companies biggest profits ever<br />RT. Response they have a right to make a profit, capitalism will correct. BS Oil is owned by EXXON largest monopoly in the world.<br /><br />War in Iraq over oops little George just like your claimed military service not over just because you said so.<br /><br />RT. Response we are protecting the world. And yes there were WMD we just can find no traces of them.<br /><br />Exposing our own spys They turn over Cheney's lead man not George's, when George claims to run the show, Right.<br /><br />RT. Response It was the media.<br /><br />Supreme Court nominee George you dummy you actually made a good honest move and nominated someone that might judge by the constitution and no one can dictate how she will rule. Oops, the President can not make a nomination without the conservatives in Congress approval. Out with the 3 separate branches of government. One time George should have stood up but failed his office.<br /><br />RT Response Needs someone who has judged before, and especially someone who will be far right of center.<br /><br />Sad part is most of you do not recognize that each move made takes us closer to the England and Europe our ancestors wanted freedom from. We want a home where everyone has a chance to better themselves not just a chosen few who control the wealth. <br /><br />This is not about blacks and whites, not about unions and corporations, not about abortion or not, This is about our individual freedoms and our ability to govern ourselves. I know, I read all the time as I have in this thread that people do not know what they need or what is going on, but that is the BS of this argument. We do know what we want.

Alright Txwinner, the road to the future leads to 1794, when the first assault was brought upon the Constitution. Only if America can turn back the clock to pre-civil war times and restore the Constitution can we return to the "Land of the Free."

Re: Bush's approval ratings

In January, 1794 congress considered a bill appropriating $15000 for French refugees. James Madison, then a congressman, voted against it, saying he:<br />"could not undertake to lay [my] finger on that article in the Constitution which granted a right to congress of expending on objects of benevolence, the money of thier constituents. And if they once broke the line laid down before them, for the direction of their conduct, it was impossible to say to what lengths they might go, or to what extremities this practice might be carried."<br /><br />Try reading the book Why Government Doesn't Work by Harry Browne. If only we couldrestore the constitution......

Re: Bush's approval ratings

I'm a little diappointed in this poll. If GW was doing everything we expected aside from the great job in the middle east and the recent response the natural disasters....then I expect a left media approval poll to be around 5-10 %. Thats what George should be shooting for.....so I'm a little disappointed to say the least....fish in a barrel...he,he..

Re: Bush's approval ratings

I would imagine its less than that oddjob. but as the poll is supposedly unbiased it actually means he is doing a sucky job at all of it. not my fault nor opinion but seems to be the polls. I do fel a bit sorry that your man is almost as good as his daddy or Reagan. now those two were solid rebublicans that never sold anything to dictators to use to kill innocents.<br /> my only critsims of the current admin was after the new orleans/gulf coast debacle he led. with most of that areas national guards equipment overseas it was Bushs's responsibility to insure military aircraft were flying as the winds were dying. not for law enforcement but for checking gulf coast area hospitals,VA centres and nursing homes and such. the only 2 navy pilots that assisted the USCG that day,from pensacola NAS, were actually repremanded by their CO.<br /> however a buddy at ft rucker said they had the choppers fuel, the transports ready and the refueling sites coordinated with the USCG and the USAF and waited with bags packed for 4 days while waiting to go help.with a phone call they could have been flying tuesday morning. Bush as commander in chief, never made that call. and yes its illigal to us the military as a LAW enforcement its not ILLEGAL for military choppers to rescue residents from nursing homes or supply gensets and fuel to hospitals.

Re: Bush's approval ratings

All of the above is just that...all of the above! There are as many points of view as there people to express them. <br /><br />Much of the above seems centered on today and yesterday; I'm much more worried about tomorrow, tomorrow in terms of the next Presidential election. I see the media and other left-leaners as plowing the fertile ground of the Bush administration to prepare the field for Hillary Clinton!<br /><br />That fat-thighed, pinch-faced, frizzy-haired, do-nothing harridan of a carpetbagging Senator from my state is most assuredly positioning herself for 2008. And, given the current anti-Republican media blitz, she will have a realistic shot at the big chair in the Oval Office. Of course, she will first run for re-election to the Senate with no regard for leaving NYS in a lurch. The old white-haired guy she hangs around with has advised her not to even kid New Yorkers about her serving her full term if re-elected. She has abused NYS for one term, why not give a go again?<br /><br />If/when she is elected to the 1600 Pennsylvania Ave gig be prepared to hear that she supports, claims, desires, speaks out about, hopes, and other non-action terms. Do NOT look for anything concrete that actually has an impact on anyone but herself and the guy with whom she owns a house.

Re: Bush's approval ratings

It shakes my faith in the viability of democracy to realize that someone who could pen the following: <br /><br />------------<br />"That fat-thighed, pinch-faced, frizzy-haired, do-nothing harridan of a carpetbagging Senator"<br /><br />-----------<br /><br />Would have a vote that counts as much as mine. <br /><br />We ought really to have an IQ or some other intelligence factor to weigh the relative value of every one's opinion, and the value of their support.<br /><br />You want to debate positions and policies, fine.<br /><br />Spare me your meaningless tirade of adjectives.

Re: Bush's approval ratings

You shouldn't talk about our next president that way.. ....That's the problem with living in the sticks. ....The population of Manhattan alone is probably more than both of your counties combined, I'd wager. The truth is that the city folk choose the senators. Who is Harry Reed, btw? ..Now your congressional rep is a different story......Should be able to talk to them.....Bondo, on Teddy.....W better start showing some real results....The republicans position is being eroded on a daily basis, and Hilary is poised to run at it. W. & co. have left the Republican flank exposed, and they are ripe for demise....Half of the voters are women & there has never been a plausible female candidate....Watch out repubs., I think Hilary is do a tap dance on your heads....IMHO....JK

Re: Bush's approval ratings

PW2...<br />Talk is cheap when you live in MI. "Come on down" to the game show we call NYS. You'll quickly find out who is really behind door #1....<br /><br />As for the weight of my vote compared to yours, please believe that mine is based on a number of years of closely watching "the other Clinton" as she hones her schtick here in The Empire State.<br /> <br />You describe her your way, I'll describe her mine--based on my assessment of her activities from "finding the long lost files on an end table in the White House" to using NYS as a launching pad for ever more personal gain.

Re: Bush's approval ratings

wow a choice between a lap dog and a hound dog for president. talk about a rock and a hard spot. I dont think I could vote for either.<br /> both are rather scary.<br />whoever has the next presidency needs to have a plan for the middle east and latin america. especially latin america. seems someone found a natural gas field in VE thats supposed to be the largest in the world and they found some crude fields that were previously undiscovered.<br /> for all chavez's rants and Bush's snubs that country is critical to our economy right now. its a 3 day boat ride for an oil tanker from maricabo to galveston bay. as the oil belongs to the venezuelan govt and citgo is a wholly owned venezeulan company he could close the valve anytime he wished. its his oil and he can sell it wherever and to whomever he wish's. so overall I dont think this president has done a good job on about anything and its getting harder and harder for this admin to blame the last admin cause they have been in power about 6 years now. in that 6 years or credibility in the international community has sunk to all time lows and our relationships with most are more strained now than ever. could you imagine if the ayatolla in bubbastan wrote a letter saying he was gonna bomb dreamland? we could not convince anyone of it now. thats why we need the truth about what happened so if something happened we can make the proper adjustments and if nothing happened we can show the world.<br />isolationism may have worked in the 20's and 30's but in this century it just wont work. we need to quit installing and supporting people like pinchet,Noriaga, saddam that crazy Sha we installed in iran in the 50's and on down the list, all were supported and installed in the name of profit not in the name of helping the country. its time to be able to show the world our way is better not hit them on the head with a club and say we are better. what I find so funny is most americans have no clue what our country has done outside our borders, in fact most cant tell ya a thing about even something as recent as our concentration camps for american citizens of japanese descent. I think there is maybe a paragraph about it in a 12th grade civics book.<br />some times ya gotta discuss the embarrasing stuff to insure it does not happen again
