Makes you wonder what Bill would have done differently to "unite the world" with Islamic terrorists. Yeah, yeah...."we are the world....we are the children....."

[arkfreepdom]

Keep talking billyboy.

Lord have mercy. Isn't he needed one of two other places more than here?

KA-WHUMP!

US President George W. Bush (news - web sites) will be given a run for his money by whichever Democrat ultimately emerges as the party's presidential nominee, former US President Bill Clinton (news - web sites) predicted at a campaign stop in the heartland state of Iowa.

This is a true statement, although it has nothing to do with Iraq. The biggest problem Bush has is that same proplem all radical liberal Republicans have, even those that claim to be compassionate conservatives. After their base learns that "compassionate conservative" means be as radically liberal or more so than the Democrats they manage to convince their "base" to understand there isn't any point in even going to the polls.

Yes, Bush can lose. My guess is he doesn't care that much. Being President can be a difficult job.

I suppose I'll vote for him simply because there isn't any choice during the current war. It's a sorry state of affairs.

[N. Theknow]

"I get tired of people saying this field can't beat the incumbent president," Clinton said

And I get tired of this manure salesman giving away samples whenever he opens his mouth.

[Maria S]

You had your chance, Billy Blythe. Please sit down and shut up.

[Reagan Man]

I thought Jimmuh Carter was a shameless self-promoter, but Bill Clinton tops old Jimmuh by a wide margin. So much for respecting the Presidency. The Democrats version of clueless and classless.

[mrs. a]

Of course, we all know the veracity of Mr. Clinton's assertions...

[concerned about politics]

Yeh, yeh, yeh. He thought he was unimpeachable, too.
He has a few faithful demonic followers, but the majority thinks he's a discusting liar and pervert. 20% favorability.
Go back to Europe, Bill. You're not welcome here.

[Astronaut]

Keep talking, you coke-snorting rapist. It only works in our favor if Slick Willie remains the face of the democratic party.

[F.J. Mitchell]

"Welcome back Bill, we miss you."

LOL! Keep your head down Bill, they may aim more carefully next time.

If this lying sack of sh*t really believed what he is saying, Heelary would be running like a jack rabbit.

[AlbionGirl]

Hey SWEATHOG, why don't you go work on that 'man rack' you've got going on there, and once you've solved that hormonal dilemma come back for further advise...it'll have something to do with playing in traffic.

Today at work I overheard a big-bosomed (sp?), dehiscent, baby-boomer gal waxing orgasmic over his performance in Iowa, saying something like "I was watching bill clinton on tv over the weekend, and it was like he could say follow me to the moon and everyone would follow. My goodness what a charismatic man."

It took all my reserve not to ask her to 'pick two' ala Moe and continue....

I DESPISE THAT MAN LIKE 'EFFING POISON!

[tet68]

"When somebody tells you the people who are running for president aren't big, they just mean they aren't famous yet."

This is purely illustrative of X42's thinking.
The fact that they might bring some needed intelligence,
some political acumen, some reason to the office means nothing, only famousness, it's ALL about YOU isn't it.

Actually bill what it means is, that the 9 dwarfs
don't stand a chance against George W. Bush.

[joesnuffy]

Now if ole Belialzabubba would just stand nose to nose with good ole GW
and repeat that hog slop
I bet we would see just who was "beatable" ...and never mind '04 ...I'm talking right now!

[timydnuc]

Hillary is ready to jump. This is the perfect indication.

Bring the b!@ch on, let's get it started. What is she waiting for? I want the battle royale to get started, right this minute!

[SwinneySwitch]

"The American people, not 5 percent of them know they gave me a tax cut and then kicked children out of after-school programs," said Clinton..."

I didn't know we kicked children out of after-school programs? Oh the humanity!

Maybe they could go home after-school and do their home work then?

[Spirited]

"Clinton has said however that he has no plans to endorse a candidate for the White House during the primary campaign.'

Guess that will wait for Hil.

[soozla]

Tell Bubba to "bring it on..........."!!!!!!!!!

[Davis]

Howard Dean Cartoon

[Arkady]

I was wrong. I didn't think the Bent-One could demean the office as a former president more than he did while he occupied it. He'll probably beat the odds and live longer than arafat to boot....at least we can look forward to stomping his "wyfe" in an election some time soon.
Tell young people to become historians or publishers...there should be plenty of work for the next generation, his side desperately revising....the other in putting forth the facts about this scumbag.

[mtbopfuyn]

Well, I'm getting tired too. Sick and tired of seeing that scum on every channel 24/7. Is he ever going to just goooo awaaaaay?

[CyberAnt]

Don't listen to what x42 says, watch what Hillary does. If x42 really believes Bush is beatable .. Hillary will enter the race. If Hillary doesn't enter the race .. Bush will win - with all of our effort!!

[Right_in_Virginia]

Clinton also accused Bush of mishandling the US-led war on terror.

Whatever, Clintoon...by now we all know American security and victory are not part of your thought processes.

[cksharks]

Would someone please tell this piece of shit that he said he was beatable in 2000. OOOPPPPPSSSSS

[Grampa Dave]

Sounds like the Wanker, Bubba Clinton has been inhaling some white lines again, which makes him an even bigger white liar!


No Comparison: Bush Poll Numbers Beat Bill Clinton’s

No Comparison: Bush Poll Numbers Beat Bill Clinton’s
Roll Call ^ | September 9, 2003 | David Winston


Posted on 09/09/2003 11:50 AM PDT by veronica


The writer Salman Rushdie said, “Reality is a question of perspective.” Never were those words truer than in the realm of politics and public opinion polls now. With Democratic presidential candidates and political pundits salivating over President Bush’s slipping job approval numbers, this might be a good time to put the numbers into some perspective. So, for my first Roll Call column, here’s a reality check.

Not surprisingly, right after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, Bush’s job approval ratings spiked to historic levels. Many media surveys showed that 90 percent or more of Americans approved of the job he was doing as president. It was a remarkable response; and, even more remarkably, Bush was able to sustain an 80 percent job approval for another six months despite a sagging economy and war in Afghanistan. There is no question that there was a fundamental, positive shift in how people viewed this president during that difficult time.

But, to paraphrase Newton, what goes up eventually comes down. And today, almost two years later, Bush’s poll numbers have moved to a more realistic level. This is exactly what Bush’s pollster, Matthew Dowd, predicted in a memo written at the height of Bush’s job approval. In the past two weeks, a crescendo of voices on cable and at Democratic presidential events have concluded that because his job approval has “dramatically dropped” to the mid-50s, Bush is in deep trouble. Not so fast.

While it’s true that the Democracy Corps’ (James Carville and crew) recent survey had Bush’s job approval-disapproval at 55 percent-41 percent and CBS put it at 55 percent-37 percent, what is being lost in the rush to predict the premature end of the Bush presidency is a sense of perspective. Part of this overreaction is understandable. When a politician sustains the kind of popularity that Bush has for such an extended period of time, a job approval in the 50s — which was once a level most politicians yearned for — is portrayed as a sign of serious problems. It is also important to remember that Bush has been able to maintain what is a strongly positive job approval in a period when voters are increasingly concerned about the economy and complications in Iraq.

Perhaps the easiest way to get some perspective on Bush’s job approval, however, is to compare his numbers to President Bill Clinton’s during roughly the same time frame — the first 32 months in office. Using Bush’s job approval numbers in major media surveys for just August, we find he averaged a 56 percent approve/38 percent disapprove. Contrast those numbers with Clinton’s in August 1995, his third year in office, and we see Clinton’s job approval average was 46 percent approve/43 percent disapprove.

Now for some context. Despite being 10 points lower than where Bush is today, 14 months after getting his 46 percent job approval, Clinton went on to crush former Sen. Bob Dole (R-Kan.) in the 1996 presidential election. Even more interesting, Bush’s 56 percent average job approval is exactly the same as Clinton’s in the last four months of the 1996 campaign. From August to November 1996, Clinton’s monthly average ranged between 54 percent and 58 percent. Simply put, if Bush’s job approval remains at this point or even slightly lower, he will face the eventual Democratic nominee at roughly the same political strength as Clinton when he easily beat Dole.

Here’s another way to look at the numbers. During the entire 32 months of Bush’s presidency, in all the public media polls (at least that I have been able to find), he has been at 55 percent or higher in 92 percent of the surveys. In contrast, during the same time frame, Clinton was at those levels in only 13 percent of the surveys. In fact, more people disapproved of Clinton’s performance on the job than approved in slightly more than one out of every three polls (35 percent), and this was pre-Monica. Comparing the two men’s numbers at the same point in their terms, there is simply no contest. Bush clearly has far greater support from the American public.

It’s easy to forget that Clinton didn’t effectively stay above 50 percent job approval until the beginning of February 1996. For surveys in January 1996, the average of media polls for Clinton was a job approval-disapproval of 49 percent-43 percent.

A second set of numbers has also been getting a lot of attention lately — the re-elect question. In Newsweek’s Aug. 21 survey, it found that 44 percent wanted to see Bush re-elected while 49 percent did not. Democrat talking heads have rushed to crow that these numbers prove Bush is highly vulnerable. They’ve apparently forgotten that in November 1995, Clinton’s re-elect was 36 percent for/51 percent against. Bush still runs 8 points ahead of Clinton in this question of dubious predictive value.

So, before Washington’s chattering class buys the latest conventional wisdom that George Bush’s presidency is teetering on the brink of disaster, it should take a harder look at the numbers, which tell a far different story. Through the first 32 months of their respective terms, Bush’s job approval is significantly better than Clinton’s and is on par with Clinton’s when he was easily re-elected.

In the next few months, numbers will vary from survey to survey. Bush will go up and down. More important than any one number, however, is whether more people approve than disapprove of the job a president is doing. The key is to put the numbers in perspective — not in politically expedient isolation.

[Captain Peter Blood]

They are dropping clues all over the place that Hillary will run in 2004. She will announce in the next two months, not long after her VP running mate Gen. Clark.
The only positive thing in this for Republicans is that she will energize Our Base like no one else.
Downside will be that it will be a tough race no matter what anyone says. KATY BAR THE DOOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How can a president who has $480 billion dollar budget deficits, $40 billion dollar trade deficits, who lost 3 million American and tens of thousands of factories, who promised to sign any gun control bill that gets to his desk, who wants to spend another $100 billion in Iraq, who wants to give citizenship and the vote to 10 million illegal aliens, who invaded our privacy with the Homeland security bill, etc, lose?

Doesnt his record mean anything?

Why did clinton beat bush's daddy?
