Yikes! Does this mean this is going down in my 'permanent record?!'

Seriously, Donkey...if you're truely interested in gaining some insight into how Bush lied and manipulated intelligence, you can start with this thread from our very own Debate Politics.

http://www.debatepolitics.com/war-iraq/5626-why-do-so-many-people-have-hate-bush-6.html

Duly noted was just a figure of speech. I have no power here... unfortunately.

Oh GOD! I'm not really in any mood to sift through hundreds of posts and news articles. Sorry, but you'll have to find some short summaries or something if you want me to at least consider your side of the argument. Provide some news articles that are unbiased, not a bunch of DP members debating.

Not really. Bush is actually at 32-35% approved. But, I suppose it's close enough.

OK we've all seen the polls but what does everyone here think. Do you approve or disapprove of the job our president has done?


I disaprove of alot of things he does,

His stand on illegal immigration sucks,when liberals like Chuck Schumer,Ted Kennedy are agreeing with him on how he wants to deal immigration,that should be a clue to the president he is doing something wrong.Earned immigration for illegals is a crock of ****,putting the NG on the border just to act as spotting is also a crock of ****,spending milllions on high tech devices that don't do anything except spot is also a crock of ****.I don't want to hear my president praising illegal and saying how they are doing jobs American won't do and while licking the balls of Vincenti Fox and selling our future down the toilet he has the nerve to call Americansa bunch a vigilantees for doing a job the government refuses to do. I want a thick high wall on the border,with snipers armed with 50 cals with orders shoot to kill,I don't want to hear this nonsense that we don't have the money for it when trillions are being spent on the war,it would be nice to spend billions on something and actaully be able to see it and for it to be directly benificial for us.Screw the traitors who want our borders wide open,screw the traitors who whine about that a wall might make us look bad to the rest of the world,screw what the rest of the world thinks.

He let the traitorous vermin in the media and the pacifist sissys dictate how a war should be ran,why the **** is he listening to people that belong in a monastary being nice to roaches and rats?War is brutal is should be fought that way not in a pc manner.He should be telling TUrban Durban, John Benedict Arnold Kerry and others like them to shut the **** up and to remind them that they are Americans not Al Qeada.

He has done nothing to protect real marriages.

He nominate people for certian position and when the vermin on the left want to grill his canidates he says nothing about thier hypocrisy.Bush should grow a pair of balls.Every time one of these hypocrites says somthing about a canidate's beliefs play the audio from the Ginsburg confirmation hearings,that would shut them the hell up.



He has not cracked down on the traitors who leaked classified information to the traitorous vermin in the media.Most traitors get jailed not handed pulitzer prizes.Bush should be making these triator's lives a living hell,not letting them print stories.These traitors in the media should be jailed and strung up by their balls in a court of law and sentenced to death.



WHile spending billions on the war he is handing our money out like candy to ungrateful nations.**** these other nations,quit sending them foriegn aid and let them stand on their own two feet, our money does not grow on trees.

NAFTA, KAFTA,World trade WTF?This is why lobbying,campain money should be banned,because the politicians would rather suck their balls and lick their asses instead of representing us the American people.Making it easy for companies to sell out America screws us in the long run,are we really going to trust China to make our weapons?
 
americanwoman,

What, to be terrible presidents?

No.. To conquer and subjugate the Iraqi people. They shall pay the price of there lack of faith.
 
At this point, with American politics being the smoke-and-mirrors show that it has become, I don't think I could honestly approve of any candidate. GWB is just better at reminding me of that.

I just wish we had a president that it didn't seem like we have to send a PR team behind him wherever he goes. And somebody with some oratory skills would be nice too.
 
[QUOTEI just wish we had a president that it didn't seem like we have to send a PR team behind him wherever he goes. And somebody with some oratory skills would be nice too.][/QUOTE]

Guess you never heard of a president by the name of Lincoln, not the greatest orater but argueably one of our greatest presidents......
 
Lincoln was a jackass too.

Anyway, if you had read my post instead of lying in wait for some rotten liberal s.o.b. to say something so you could pounce on him, you would have sensed my overall dissatisfaction with the entire American political landscape.

I think American politics are too far screwed to be salvaged. I'm just waiting for the inevitable declaration of empire, followed by the inevitable fall of said empire. in the meantime, i'd like to at least have the comfort of dictatorial leaders who seem like they know what the hell they're doing.

oh how those republicans are dying for the Latino vote. I heard a rumor that someone bought into univision as a way to brainwash the latinos into thinking they actually care for their rights and not just want their vote. It's only a rumor but let me see if I can find anything to back it up.

Actually, there is a reason why they really want that hispanic vote. First, you will notice that they have been winning national elections by very, very small margins. Bush lost the popular vote to Gore in 2000, and in 2004, Bush won by a smaller margin than any other sitting president in over 80 years, and that was with them pulling out every wedge issue in the book to get the fundies out to vote for them. We all know that Republicans typically do poorly with minorities. The problem for them is that by 2008, the black and hispanic voting population will be at such a level that if Republicans do not make significant gains in the hispanic vote, it will be demographically impossible for them to win a nationwide election from 2008 on. Of course, the problem the Republicans have with consistently winning over more minorities, is the "Deliverance" wing of the Republican Party. If the Republicans do much for the Hispanics or Blacks, they piss off the Redneck Republicans and loose that vote. So its kind of a Catch 22 for them.

Good post! I just can't stand either side these days. To all of them now it's more about winning and ******* on the other side, then actually doing a good job and keeping the interest of the people in mind....:roll: but what can I do about , it run for congress? ..oh wait I can't-- I don't have millions of dollars or rich friends to help me "campaign".
I guess I just feel disillusioned with our politicians anymore. They all give us good reason to be too. As a middle class citizen I feel we get **** on most of the time. There's welfare and all that for the poor or tax cuts for the rich. It just leaves most Americans in the dark and there isn't hardly anyone in D.C. I feel can can connect with us anymore.

You criticize this country but you don't even have the balls to say where your from........What is the matter you ashamed of your country....

As far a Lincoln goes most Americans believe he was one of our greatest presidents.......
 
What a Joke...........Democrats have been kissing the *** of African Americans and Hispanics for years to get their vote..........There so hard up for the hispanic vote that Reid called the amendment stating that English be the language of this country rascist...........
 
70% disapproval. Woo hoo!

I know I should be ashamed of myself for enjoying this, but I'm not. ;)

Yeah. The Republicans don't want the invaders to become the next black people, too tied into the myth of Democrat benevolence to ever leave the plantation.

Yeah it would be great for you libs and democrats if President Bush was up for re election but he is not..........And since we are talking polls have you seen the ones where both Juliani and McCain kill the Ice Princess Hillarry in 2008..........

Looks for almost certain that we will have a Republican president until 2016........That would mean we have had a democratic president for only 12 years between 1968 and 2016...I guess that says a lot where the American people stand.........

Listen to you. First of all, Hillary ain't getting the democratic nomination. I would pick her over McCain, but I would pick Guiliani over Hillary any day. I like him.

Let's not forget when Bill Clinton announced his run for the presidency--just 13 months before the election. Right now, we are 30 months from the election. There's time for a dem to announce his candidacy.

Well according to the polls she is way ahead of any of her rivals for the nomination and she has millions in the bank...

As far as "The Slickster" goes you know that if it had not been for Perot taking votes away from Bush 1 we would have never heard of him........

I challenge you to go a whole month without mentioning Bill or Hillary Clinton. This is a George W. Bush thread. Every thread you participate in becomes a Clinton thread. It is time for you to learn a new trick. I don't mind if you disagree. I would think it would help you grow as member here.

Hey everyone! It's the would've excuse. If everything was different, my guy would've won. Perot did run and Bush lost. Do you take issue with having more than two people on the ballot? Do you think we would be better suited if we made it law that we be only one choice away from a dictatorship? Multiple options are always better.

Bill Clinton is one of the most charismatic presidents we have had. People love that stuff (take it from someone who is charismatic herself ;)). He won because people were captivated by him, he was a moderate democrat, and he was brilliant.

*sigh* I wish he were still president.

True! I agree....and it really underscores what a weak, awful, evil ignorant President we have today.

GWB is even worse than Nixon who set the standard in modern times for "worst president" honors.

All these months that I was MIA from this site we all saw time and time again indisputable proof how bad GWB is at his job and how America (FINALLY!) has caught on so much so that in one recent poll his approval rating fell below 30%.

Do you know that no 2nd term President has ever had weaker approval ratings for such an extended period of time, not even Nixon?

The blessing in all of this is that we're less than six months away from Democrats taking back at least the House and potentially even the Senate. Then we'll be a ble to finally make Bush accountable for all of his mistakes. He will no longer be able to hide behind his party's shield of protection.
