Bush beats Nixon’s disapproval ratings.
By on Nov 6th, 2007 at 12:10 pm
Bush beats Nixon’s disapproval ratings.
Sixty-four percent of Americans disapprove of the job President Bush is doing, and for “the first time in the history of the Gallup Poll, 50% say they ’strongly disapprove’ of the president. Richard Nixon had reached the previous high, 48%, just before an impeachment inquiry was launched in 1974.”

But let’s not let this fact stop the Democratic “leadership” from doing nothing in its power to stop W’s policies. Thanks for nothing.
November 6th, 2007 at 12:14 pmMr. Bush might be at zero, the day he leaves office – if he leaves office.
November 6th, 2007 at 12:14 pmand, yet, the democrats are scared shitless and demonstrate their continuing cowardice daily.

November 6th, 2007 at 12:21 pmOf course Bush’s ratings are low. Why? ‘Coz he doesn’t stoop to do the popular things always. He has been wrong on many things, but his fundamentals remain strong, and they are better optimized to our protection than anyone else. Over the past 50 years, I would rank Bush right up there, along with Clinton and Reagan, in terms of the positive impact he has had (and will have) in our lives
November 6th, 2007 at 12:22 pmI still think the best argument for impeaching this dumb bastard is right here:
http://www.asecondlookatthesaudis.com
He has absolutely not spent the past six years defending this nation against the people most responsible for the attacks on 9/11.
He has instead spent the past six years scrambling around on his knees kissing their Saudi royal assess.
Sure seems like treason to me.

It’s not Bush’s fault that our Congress won’t hold him accountable.
His miserably low poll figures are there not just because he’s doing a piss poor job, but they remain low because… he remains in office.
Congress competes with Bush’s low favor. They may beat him to single digets.

November 6th, 2007 at 12:38 pmYup, George Bush’s Baskins and Robbins Presidency. And I agree that the clown’s approval rating will drop to zero if and when he leaves office. Absolutely no balloons, no cake, and no love from the American people for King George’s departure in January 20, 2009.

Well, IMHO I would disagree. If you are one of the top earners in this country (top 1-5%) you have done very well. If you are like the rest of us (middle class), then not so much.
Under Bush, job growth has been dismal, gas prices have doubled, tax cuts have left our infrastructure weakened, our world standing is in shambles, our dollar is at all time lows relative to other currencies, oil reserves (currency, not the sticky stuff) are quickly moving to Euros (away from dollars), terrorism is at all time highs around the globe, our treasury is almost bankrupt, the ME is in flames, consumer spending is down, home foreclosures are up, civil liberties are being shredded, he has deeply divided our nation (he promised to unite us), unilaterally ignored treaty obligations, etc…I could go on and on.
I would offer that Mr Bush’s historical record will be discussed in classrooms across the country as “What NOT to do as president”.

He’s largely un-popular because of his botched the invasion of Iraq. And that was actually a popular thing at the time we invaded. What was it… 65%, 70% of americans approved when the invasion started?
No, he actually did a popular thing. It was just wrong, illegal, immoral, and then to top it off he botched the job worse than anyone could have imagined.
But, you just keep paroting that tired old line….

Down in the poll numbers? Must be because he’s got so much conviction that he’s not afraid to do “unpopular” things!
If his poll numbers were up would that mean he started doing popular things (and theoretically ignoring his own convictions?)? I’m sure that the right-wing talking points would say, “See? That must mean he’s doing the right things!”.

This is true. I am hoping hits understands he supports a person who believes himself above the law and everything else. That idea alone should create hesitation on any patriots part. How can anyone look to the Constitution as a guiding document, and then blithely follow the illegal orders of a delusional boy king? Those two ideas are diametrically opposed to one another.

November 6th, 2007 at 12:53 pmTypical top-10 responses: blame all the democrats for the lack of a spine of less than half (almost all of which are the “middle road” DINOs).
Productive solution: Campaign in the primaries so we can fire the middle roader dems and hire the REAL dems.
Counterproductive solution: Whine about how “all democrats” are spineless to spread apathy, playing RIGHT into the neocon’s hands.
November 6th, 2007 at 12:56 pmA true leader would take responsibility of his actions. Bush hasn’t. He is the worst leader we have ever had.
November 6th, 2007 at 12:57 pmI think Ed Gillespie (the creep who took over for Karl Rove) should continue to throw Bush out there for press conferences in which Bush behaves like a belligerent, arrogant egomaniac who bashes Congress for his own failings. So far that strategy is working like a charm. Perhaps a half dozen more such press conferences and even the ignorant 24%er Bush sycophants will begin hating him.

As ‘business’ owner,
As human being.
November 6th, 2007 at 1:00 pmI would have to ask TCDon what right things has Bush done?
Would it be allowing a communist country to pollute our food, our pharmaceuticals, our toys and clothing for children? Would it be underfunding our schools, our infrastructure, our heating and food programs for the poor? Would it be the loss of 3854 lives for a war he concocted up for an ego boost?
Keep telling yourself he is keeping you safe so you don’t have to turn on the light and find the real terrorist right in your White House.
November 6th, 2007 at 1:01 pm“unpopular things” i’ll give you that. illegal things. sorry, not buying from this or any other administration.
and unless you buy into unchecked executive authority in times of “war”, an idea so absurd that it’s hard to believe it comes out of the mouths of purported conservatives, the litany of blatantly illegal actions performed by this administration is unprecedented.

Comment by hits — November 6, 2007 @ 12:22 pm
A couple of questions (and I’ll probably be sorry I asked):
1) What “fundamentals” are you talking about? Are you talking about core objectives of his presidency? I believe those would be get revenge for the assissination attempt on Daddy, get oil for my buddies, get cushy jobs for my buddies, allow Dick to amass the power he craves. It’s true — he hasn’t wavered from that list one teeny bit. I suppose you could call that strong, but I wouldn’t call it admirable.
2) What does “optimized to our protection” mean? Are you implying that as a direct result of Bush policies we are somehow safer? Do YOU feel safe? I sure don’t. By managing to p!ss off most of the world, we have increased the number of people who wish to do us harm and have decreased the number of people who will come to our aid when that happens. We have stretched our military to the breaking point, and have augmented our troops with so many National Guard units and equipment that we can’t even adequately take care of our own disasters back home. Our occupation of Iraq has created a recruiting bonanza for Al Qaeda. The amendments in the Bill of Rights are dropping like ducks in a shooting gallery (except the second amendment — that one’s sacred), so Americans can be spied on, detained as enemy combatants, and denied due process.
Sorry, but this means the Dubya presidency will wind up being an ugly blot on our history that will take years to clean up — NOT ranking anywhere near the top as far as “positive impact” on our lives.
November 6th, 2007 at 1:06 pmIt would be wonderful to find a few Republicans who could see Bush was ruining their party and “urge” him to leave for health reasons. However the days of honest Republicans are long gone.
November 6th, 2007 at 1:06 pm.
What does an Oath of Office mean now-a-days, anyway?
I didn’t know that elected officials can choose to ignore this Oath that binds them to the people from which they were elected and entrusted to faithfully adhere to it, thus protecting our Rights and laws.
But that American ship sailed long ago… NO?
Elections are only half the solution. To continue the process only having to re-elect new blood because the current pool is tainted is becoming all to repetitive. In fact, it’s clinically insane to keep banging one’s head against the wall in desperate hopes that there will be a breakthrough.
I want to know who, of those in Office, find their Oath of Office inconvenient.
H. Res. 333 is being brought to the floor today. I suppose it’s too inconvenient to report about and discuss… NO?

I think this is quite possibly the most ridiculous and the most in-defensible comment that has been made on this forum.
November 6th, 2007 at 1:11 pmmissmolly,
Answers to your questions:
1) Fundamentals related to my own survival and the preservation of my own intelligence, and by extrapolation, of my culture, my nation and my national security. Clinton did a great job here. His modus operandi was to be inclusive. However, his ability to pull people along by being inclusive is sadly limited by the hatred that some people have for our existence. Hence, his model ultimately, breaks down. Cheney recognized this, and optimizes accordingly.
2) Yes, I feel much safer now that before. It is an argument of the second degree. While under Clinton, there was the “feeling” of safety, under Bush, there is the “reality” of safety.
Thank you for your questions

What the Republicans need is a Barry Goldwater. It was Barry who read the handwriting on the wall to Nixon just before he (Nixon) resigned.
Goldwater initially supported Nixon, but eventually saw that he had become a malignant tumor who was destroying the GOP.
Both Bush and Cheney are dragging the GOP down with them, and giving the Republicans a reputation far worse than they deserve (yes, there was a time when being a Republican meant being a conservative but didn’t mean being a crook or a greedhead). So where are the Barry Goldwaters of today? ARE there any?

Except that you “feel” safer, by your own words. You are an idiot, and you make no sense. You are merely another of the small handful of Americans left who are to stupid and ideological to see the truth before you: Bush failed us completely and utterly on 9/11; he allowed sucwssful attacks to take place on US soil, and did nothing about them before or since. If you feel safer with Bush in charge, then you are more than a little retarded, and should go back to the home.

“Reality” of safety? You are seriously deluded, but those delusions probably give you a nice cocoon where you do indeed feel safe.

When Japan bombed Pearl Harbor, they probably thought they were keeping Japanese people safe. We all know how that turned out.

Hate to break the news to you, but the 24%ers are not going anywhere. The more you point out the mistakes of their God Bush, the more they dig in and support the miserable fck.
Look at it from their perspective, Jesus was persecuted, early Christians were persecuted, and they feel that they are being persecuted for their unwavering support of a sociopathic coke head. Resolute I think is how they describe themselves.
They have a huge wall up that is impenetrable to facts or logic. The more they are confronted with the reality that their Dear Leader is really a pathetic buffoon with his itchy finger on the trigger, the higher and thicker the wall.
Seriously, what could Bush do that’s worse than what he has already done? In the last 7 miserable years, America has found a new identity. We torture, we spy on our own citizens, we suspend habeus corpus, we start preemptive wars, we kill innocents in the name of Jesus, we rob from the poor and give to the rich.
Bush could drop a nuclear bomb on Pakistan and these simple shits would still support him.

I’ve got to agree with you. If they haven’t figured this lunatic out yet they’re never going to. You can’t fix stupid.

November 6th, 2007 at 2:08 pmShayne,
I don’t want my rant to be seen as anti-Christian, but the common denominator od Bush supporters is that they see themselves as Christians.
Not all Christians are Bush supporters, but all (to a degree) Bush supporters are Christian. And the irony here is that Bush’s actions fit the description of the Anti-Christ.

“The Stupidest F@cking guy on the entire planet”.
He’s wrong. Dubya and hits are far stupider.
November 6th, 2007 at 2:17 pmAs selfish as most Bush supporters sound when they post, it is beyond me that they don’t understand that the damage Bush has done to America and the world affects all of us. Doesn’t matter if you are a card carrying Republican your rights have gone just as quick as everyone else.
November 6th, 2007 at 2:17 pm#90 I see this first hand, those professing to follow Christian ways love Bush. Yet in everything he does is so anti-Christian. However, looking back in history how many wars were started because of religious beliefs and forcing a belief on others.
I still think if you can’t think for yourself and need others to tell you how to live your life usually you are a church goer/Bush believer.

It’s like having a 426 Hemi Challenger and never going above 25 Miles per hour. Might as well drive a golf cart.
Repugs have this power of The Constitution and never use it, thus they have no need for it, and feel no one else should either.
Like Crackpot-in-Chief said of the Constitution “It’s just a Goddamn piece of paper”.

Oh man, don’t expect them to try to understand irony. They’re confused enough. Better just to let their preacher tell them what to do. Did you see the latest thread nanlichi?
November 6th, 2007 at 2:26 pmHe’s wrong. Dubya and hits are far stupider.

What, no honorable mention to TCDon. He’s almost as stupid if not stupider than those two.
November 6th, 2007 at 2:27 pmSo many new Repubs (those who are newly making over a million) feel the poor and Dems are waiting to suck their money away. They do see many of the programs especially in the taxing area that favor welfare receipients as giveaways of their hard earned money.
November 6th, 2007 at 2:31 pmHowever these same people benefit in their own ways from government tax shelters.
Thanks Shayne, these two are very related topics. I think the 24%ers, the population that still support Bush is the same population manipulated and preyed on by the Televangelists.

Yikes.
November 6th, 2007 at 2:53 pmI still stand by my comment….. The Bush’s have causes America NOTHING BUT TROUBLE since Grandpa Bush helped Hitler in WWI.

Did you know that Nazi Prescott’s father was also a traitor? He traded with both sides, including the German Panzer division during WW 1

In the spring of 1918, Samuel Bush became chief of the Ordnance, Small Arms and Ammunition Section of the War Industries Board of Bernard Baruch and Clarence Dillon, with national responsibility for government assistance to and relations with Remington and other weapons companies.BUsh was essentially taking national responsibility for government assistance to his own Remington Arms Company and other weapon makers. Through these weapons manufacturers, Samuel Bush made and sold arms to 75% of the WWI combatants on both sides.
November 6th, 2007 at 3:13 pmJust when some thought this idiot couldn’t be any more of a complete failure than he has been his whole life, he once again proves them wrong.

Or maybe BOTH!! Think about that for a while….. Shudder
November 6th, 2007 at 3:24 pmHere’s to FREEDOM – I’d rather be free than “safe” any day.
PS – How did georgejr become a hero for ignoring warnings and letting 9/11 happen? He & Rudy both – it boggles the mind that because they were in office at the time, and failed in their duties, somehow that makes them heroes. Just can’t fathom that. And now that bush is appeasing the “terrorists” (who attacked us “because they hate our freedoms”), by removing our freedoms, that somehow makes us “safe”. But NOBODY is keeping us safe from our own government.
November 6th, 2007 at 3:36 pmWhat evidence does Hits have the the US is actually really any safer now than it was in 2001 or in 1993 (there were 2 WTC attacks, no?)? There is none. W et al tell us that they have thwarted this or stopped that, but no proof ever surfaces. It’s the lie told often enough to make Hits feel safer.
Facts are, it took AQ 8 years to regroup after the first WTC attack. With that for historical reference (and without taking into consideration the likely interruptions caused by the Afghanistan invasion) it will be another couple of years before the next big one on US soil. So, the reality is that for all the blood, sweat and treasure expended, Hits can continue to “feel” safer, but the reality is he ain’t. He’s wallowing in the same mud with more weight and less people willing to help dig him out of any hole, that’s all.
Reality. Who needs reality when you can just make up sh*t as you go along.

Don’t forget “Equilibrium”
You see, the standard people think “Fascism”, and they expect Jack Boots and Swastikas. We are in a hybrid of many different Imperialistic regimes in history. This is becoming very much like Rome, The Inquisition, and Mussolini’s Italy. This is “Friendly Fascism”
November 6th, 2007 at 7:50 pmThe biggest trick that the Devil pulled was to make people believe that he doesn’t exist… I’m not to sure who wrote or said that but kudos to whoever it was because it definately explains why there are still Bush supporters left in the world…
Being new to this forum I obviously see that a one “TCDon”, a one “Hits” and “Mr. Bush” aren’t very well loved here… doi?! lol
Maybe someone here can tell me a little more about these characters..
I will say something about some of their comments especially the “feeling safe” crap they so worship… If they feel so “safe” with that sock puppet president currently here then why don’t they get on a subway in NYC or Detroit and ride through some rough neighborhoods flashing their Republican bling bling… oh shit, do i sound to hoodie??? Maybe that kind of pig-latin slang could buy them some time before they learn how “gang initiation” works and how things really are in America today?!
Funny how some people never react until something hits the fan that’s pointed in their direction…
Yeah without a doubt, Bush jr. should have never been a President of anything except maybe a marijuana field because smoking that shit surely screwed up his speeches a bit plus made him high on his own supply… u know, like saying/cweating nuu woids sooh tha are chuldwen weeceive a pwopah edjamacation frm a gwait leedah…
Oh crap! now it’s rubbing off on me! Damn it!
Hey Bush! What are these red underlines I’m seeing underneath these words that you made up which I’m posting here in this forum?! The gall some people have!
