CBS is #1 rated network.

OTOH. Dan Rather is a lost soul. LOL

"You are absolutely right. If we lose the House there WILL be a special prosecutor. There WILL be an impeachment."

Someone gets it. Bad Bush poll numbers are not good for either party and the country in general. No good can come from any of this if Bush's numbers don't get better and stay better and soon.

He is a leader, do you support the President?

He is a leader, but not our ruler.

I voted for the President twice and am a supporter.

However, he is making it difficult to support him. His admin totally and utterly dropped the ball on communicating this ports deal to the people. When pressed on it, he announces he will veto any attempt to thwart his admin's position. Later on, the word is he really wasn't all that well informed on the situation. Yet, his veto threat stands - it comes across as defensive and arrogant.

That's a ruler, not a leader.

Let him lead, and I like him more. The dems depict Dubya as arrogant and out-of-touch, as well as slow witted. Increasingly, he makes that depiction more credible.

They're trying to balance out the bad news...record low casualties in Iraq, Iraq not sinking into civil war, the economy running along smoothly...

Record low casualties? I count at least 14 months with lower casualties. http://icasualties.org/oif/ And if you believe Iraq is going well, I'd like to sell you some magents that improve your arthritis.

Why Dane, our resident coyote !

Bush has alienated his base with his guest worker obsession and lost independents with this port deal. Two policies you support and which, unless Bush abandons them immediately, will doom him and the GOP.

Adorno, an unpopular president means a leaderless party during the nomination process. Cheney is too old so it will be McCain vs cultural conservatives who do not as yet have a favorite candidate.

[Bubbatuck]

"operational control" of our ports? HMMM I wonder if the Coast Guard knows... LOL

Yes, the Coast Guard knows... and evidently objected, according to today's news.

[HitmanLV]

And the many against the port deal no nothing about the port deal except an Arab country is involved.

That's entirely fair, but its Bush and the admin's job to make their case persuasively and cogently.

They clearly failed.

[KevinDavis]

Where does the site get the info from??? If things are going bad in Iraq it would be on the news right now....

[Old_Mil]

There are two kinds of Republicans these days. This kind:

...and this kind: Mine! Mine! Mine! Bush Mine!

[Dane]

CBS is #1 rated network

In "entertainment" and that share is down from years ago.

Their news division is in the tank, but I find it funny you are defending the network of dan rather. I'm not surprised, you two have something in common, you both hate the President.

"No good can come from any of this if Bush's numbers don't get better and stay better and soon."

- The economy is running along smooth and predictions are looking good.

- Employment figures are fine.

- We've just hit month four of record low casualties in Iraq.

- Iraq just held off an attempt to plunge it into civil war.

Any other President would have great poll numbers on this but what are American's hearing? Domestic spying, gun totting VP, selling ports to foreigners.

[sinkspur]

You've certainly turned into a major Bush-basher. The poll that certifies that sits at 100%.

The Middle East is not a "mess." It is transitioning to a representative form of government in Iraq.

But, I expect more of this negativity and trashing from you.

[HitmanLV]

I warned fellow freepers that this thing had legs, that it would split republican support for Bush. it has.

I agree 100%.

[SuziQ]

And CBS is just SO excited about all this!

[CWOJackson]

Well they just made the announcement today...buried somewhere in all the fabricated port hysteria. If you were interested you could have read all the good news out of Iraq today...very promising.

[HitmanLV]

Yep.

[Dane]

Yes, the Coast Guard knows... and evidently objected, according to today's news.

And the news media would never misreport the news, would they.

Psst, they did, the Coast Guard objections were rectified.

Mr. I think you are a first class 'hole, but I have to admit your tagline is funny, and I like Pat.

[Amelia]

I'm not so worried about Katrina victims; don't necessarily think it's the government's job to help them, but....

I do think the administration's lack of enforcement of border security and handling of this port situation undercut their credibility so far as national security is concerned. If we're at risk, the borders (including our ports) need to be more secure.
