This is the dumbest thing I've read on here yet. First off, Pres. Bush can't be re-elected, so who cares what his poll numbers are? And if anyone polled had really followed this story and understood it, and now think less of Bush, then their dems anyway.
right on.
Of course I know he can't be re-elected. However, President Bush is the face of the Republican Party. If he is viewed negatively; it affects the entire party.
Claiming those polled who disagree with what President Bush and the GOP led-congress are just "dems" will give you a democratic body of anywhere from 66-80% of the total population. Are you sure that high of a percentage of the US population are actually "dems"?
Who exactly isn't thinking clearly here?
I'll second that.
Dumbest? I dont it? You been listening to Randall Terry?
Duh, so he can realize his agenda. If people dont think he's doing a good job, they are not likely to force their congress critters to move his agenda. Also politicians think of their legacy. Clinton is still trying to get his poll numbers up and he's been an ex for five years.
I live in Pinellas Park. I have followed this story from the start. I am a conservative and I agree with most of the points made above. Most people here are livid the Feds even considered getting involved. This is a local and state issue and the federal government has no business butting in. Where are all the people that supported smaller government and local control of issues? Where will the federal government stop? Should we even have state governments if the Feds can get involved at this personal level? The FL legislature almost threw out every living will in the state over this issue. I'm also tired of all the Terri supporters flaming people who don't side with them. It's disgusting that civil discussions on Free Republic have broken down on this issue. I've been around since 2001 and IU've never seen things become as intense as they have on this issue.
I'll third, or fourth that.
The bogus polls, even if they were valid polls, wouldn't change the President's actions, or words.
In the long run, the people of this country prefer a man of convictions in the Oval Office, and we have one.
The people who say they will 'punish' the Republicans either for standing up for life, or on the other end of the spectrum, not breaking the law to save a life, are not likely Republicans at all.
There is enormous frustration that Terri can be legally murdered by a culture of death judge, and I am praying that God will use this to wake people up spiritually, and to also turn this leftist judicial usurpation of the power of the American people around.
I'm also praying for dear Terri, as I have rarely in my life prayed before....
