Why the Polls are Low for President Bush
http://www.nationalledger.com/artman/publish/article_27265242.shtml ^ | Apr 24, 2006 | Lee Ellis

"Bush polls have fallen to a new low," shout the newspaper headlines or the news anchors on television. "President Bush and Congress have reached their lowest numbers yet," they continue, trying to speculate whether this is caused by the high gasoline prices, the current economy, or the war in Iraq.

This is strange since there is good news, mostly hidden by the media, about all three.

1. Recently, the U.S. Energy Department announced the results of a land survey: "We have more oil inside our borders, than all the other proven reserves on earth. Here are the official estimates:

2. Our economy is at its best today with unemployment at its lowest in decades and with three million new jobs added!

snip

3. We are winning the war in Iraq and, as I write this, Jawad al-Maliki, an experienced political operator and advocate for Iraq's Shiite Muslims, has won the approval

snip

Anti-Bush information also pours into our homes from the news on NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN and even Fox News. The latter says that it is fair and balanced, implying that it gives you news from both the left and right political wings. But if TV news is to be balanced, should we not have at least one TV network that tells us only the truth about our country without two commentators spinning in two different directions? Don't we get enough opinion, generally slanted to the Left, from all the other networks?

snip

Polls always reflect not what people think but rather how they react to the news they see and hear every day beamed or tossed into their homes by both television and print.

I would never vote for a gun-grabbing liberal who runs on a Republican ticket.

Interesting and I am gladdened to see the war in Iraq has importance even though it might be of mixed opinion regarding approval or disapporval.

Go whine to someone who cares.

You support Bush even when he's wrong. Whatever Bush does, you self-styled sycophants and apologizers will continue supporting him. Have at it. Just don't expect us conservative realists to agree with you.

I have another question: what part does media driven information or stories have to do with it?

Our views are divergent over this but I will not fight with you.

It almost sounds like many of them would love living under a dictator.

As long as he "dictated" to their terms, they'd be deliriously happy!

I don't care; we've elected presidents without you before and we'll do it again.

A good president would never completely ignore his duty to enforce the law.

This is easy. You abandon your Republican principles then the Dems still do not like you, and your own party dislikes you. It's just that easy.

Many local governments, disparate as night and day, but with the commonality of Dem leadership, for the most part, from N.Y.C. to many places in California, to Arizona, to North Carolina, etc. have set up sanctuaries for illegals and have laws on the books, for several decades, which prohibit teachers, social workers, fire fighters, police, nurses, doctors, and others from reporting the people they come across, who they KNOW are illegals.

HOW IS THIS PRESIDENT BUSH'S FAULT?

Do you believe in states' rights?

Do you actually KNOW and understand what the powers of a president are, as enumerated in the Constitution? It doesn't appear that you do, from what you have posted to this thread.

I agree. The reason we have so many illegals is that past presidents; especially Clinton, let the cows out of the barn.

You are just wrong. Nearly everyone I know, INCLUDING the leftist wackos, is absolutely seething about immigration.

That's wholly untrue.

I am not in favor of his immigration plan, but I am smart enough to know that he doesn't have the power to enact law.

You haven't ever been married before, have you?

You can SUPPORT somebody without agreeing with every single thing they do.

Just don't expect us conservative realists to agree with you.

Frankly, if you "conservative realists," whatever the HELL that is (does it mean girly man) EVER agreed with us, we'd run for the hills. We don't need your kind of backstabbing, blackmailing "help" in the party.

"..INCLUDING the leftist wackos, is absolutely seething about immigration."

And the "including leftist wackos" does not bother you in the slightest?

Not one person I know talks about it; look at the polls.

It is NOT the most important things on people's minds.

You say I need to learn manners. Listen boy, you attacked me and made fun of me -- questioning my ability to think. You are nothing more than a petulant child compared to me. Compared to me you are nothing more than a jellyfish.

You have no idea what I know, but I do understand that those with limited mental capacity such as yourself must lower yourself to attacking those whom are superior to you such as myself.

Go crawl back to your cockroach hole. As for debating, It would be unfair of me to debate you as you are obviously mentally handicapped.

I'm going to ask you a serious question: does anybody you know in the real world talk about illegal aliens on a daily basis?

Anybody?
