I met Bush. He acutally called me "Buddy."

So, me and W are buddies. I would pass a lie detector test. W would not remember me.

PMSNBC..."We have to suck up to Liberals...no one else will listen."

WE'RE LOSING!!!!!! IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD AND EFFECTIVE POLL FREEPING AS WE KNOW IT!!!!!

POLLS ARE STUPID!!!

(Now I'm going home to yell at my TV)

[svcw]

The real answer should be ... SO!

[Krodg]

Good Lord. 80+% believe A-hoff.

No, they don't. What you are seeing is a silly online poll that DUmmies love to pounce on...and several conservative sites that vote with the DUmmies so that it is too skewed to air.

Hey, my brother met George Bush. They exchanged pleasantries and joked. As good a guy as my brother is, I can guarantee George Bush doesn't remember him. But for my brother, the meeting was memorable. He said in 30 seconds Bush made him feel like he had known my brother all his life. That is just normal for a President. They meet a gzillion people and they have the warm personality that makes the meeting one that an individual never forgets.

I think the fact that this poll is even on the website shows the panic of the MSM. In their minds, this has to be fixed NOW!! They must lead people to the conclusion, once again, that Bush is a liar and liars are always telling the truth if it hurts George Bush. But considering this is MSNBC, the most anti-Bush network I can think of, the voting results are a foregone conclusion. Sadly for them, no one CARES about MSNBC except the choir they are preaching to.

[Gordongekko909]

Yeah, we've pushed DU into full-bore panic by freeping polls they were working in the past. Hell, I'm getting most of these polls by lurking at DU...

[HarleyLady27]

you can only vote once....

[mtbopfuyn]

you can only vote once....

Unless you take off the cookie each time. Other than DU, who has time or cares to go to all that trouble. These polls are fixed anyway. It's still at 81% so there's been no change which is very telling.

[napscoordinator]

I know. Now it is 81 percent and their is over 51 thousand. This is absolutely amazing. I cannot believe how gullible people are.

[napscoordinator]

I did as well. I met him up in Conneticut. He was actually pretty friendly, but still I cannot say that I know the guy or that he knows me. Silly poll that the libs are asking.

"Hi there, Jack-a-jew! Good job raising that money for me, we've got to have your better half, ha, ha, and those lovely kids of yours, you have kids don't you, over to the ranch sometime , ha ha". Abramoff was a "pioneer", a person who talked people into giving over $100,000 to the President's reelection campaign. For that, he was likely invited to the Pioneer event at the ranch (which Abramoff says he didn't attend). I also imagine that since he was welcome with many congresspeople, he probably spent time at the white house as well, and it is likely he was given many "shake-bys" by the president, who I'm certain was given appropriate 'small talk' for the occassions. I remember that being a funny thing on "West Wing", when the president would be meeting someone he couldn't even identify, but when they did the pictures he was like they were best friends. This is so typical though of the media and democrats, because we are arguing over whether or not Bush might have known the man -- when in fact WHO CARES, it's not a crime to know Jack. It's not a crime to meet him, or to listen to him, OR to take money from people who were asked to give money by him, or even to take money from him, or from his lobbying agency. But now it's like Bush is evil because he may have met Jack. I'm reminded of a great scene in the movie "Patriot Games", where the President and his staff are dicussing how to handle the fact that a old friend was found dead and found with drug money. Everbody was saying how he had to distance himself, and Jack told him he should not deny anything. Instead, he should say they were friends, and if asked "freinds?" he should say "close friends" -- so they don't have anywhere to go with the story. If Bush had come out and said "Jack found people to give me money, and I appreciated his hard work, and have met with him on many occasions in that regard", the media wouldn't have had much reason to "dig up proof" that he met Jack.

hey Abe, I guess you aren't as memorable as you though you were.

[funkywbr]

So GD it impeach Bush already and cut the DAILY MSM CHIT out already!!!

[threeleftsmakearight]

You have to love Leftists logic.
Abramoff is the most corrupt, dishonest creep to ever come down the pike...that is until he claims to have had many meetings with the only person more evil than himself. NOW, he's credible.

[Steveone]

Man the libs came out of the grave for that one!

[dynachrome]

81% for Abramoff. yikes!

[Bill Nigh]

What is this 'freeping' you mention? I'm new.

Thanks.

[IamConservative]

Bush has met Harry Reid as well. Isn't this equally important? You are you meet afterall.
