"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!

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

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?

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.

Build a fence on the southern border and the numbers will go up big time.

" Why the Polls are Low for President Bush "

Because the MSM makes the numbers out to be what they want it to be ?

Build a fence on the southern border and the numbers will go up big time.

You know, there ARE other problems in this country.

I hope you all are happy after you all sit home and elect Democrats.

I am still more concerned about the Middle East. Fact is, I do not feel threatened by the Mexicans among us. In any case, the slow down in the economy, which is coming, will slow the migration north.

BULLoney! Bush is down in every poll, including Rasmussen which today shows Bush at 40%. Bush has not governed as a conservative. Liberal spending habits, expansionist bureaucracy and liberal open borders/amnesty policy shows a total failure on domestic policy issues by this POTUS.

If Bush keeps this up, he'll hand the Dems an election victory and control of Congress this November.

[bushinohio]

Not me. I will be out there voting GOP. I'm not exactly happy with the way they've conducted themselves, but sitting out an election is a mistake. Letting Dems regain control of anything is a much worse fate.

[NormsRevenge]

Yes, there are other problems, the big one we face here in california is having a snowball's chance in hell of getting many Republicans much less conservatives elected, so woefully inept the choices being offered have become.

[Diligent]

Amen...
That, and put heat on the oil companies about no tolerance for collusion (already let too many merge), but also clear the way for them to drill in ANWR and elsewhere, put heat on the environmentalists who are partly to blame for tight supply, ease regulations on the industry, suspend a lot of the mandated blends, and push like hell for building of new refineries. He can only really directly affect suspending the mandated blends, but he could be the bully pulpit for the rest and lead on this if he chose.

"Build a fence on the southern border and the numbers will go up big time."
Is it just me or is anyone else getting sick of the one thought Nellies?

[Howlin]

There are two choices: Democrats or Republicans.

It's just THAT simple.

[Howlin]

Is it just me or is anyone else getting sick of the one thought Nellies?

No, it is not just you. Most of us feel that way.

[onyx]

[Howlin]

This may be the dumbest question ever, but why can't we build anymore refineries?

[Reagan Man]

Buried in denial, as usual.

Why is Bush low in the polls? He took an oath to protect the US Constitution -= 1. there is an invasion going on that he IGNORES!
2. We need to take the war on terror to the heart of the beast -- Iran -- it is time to tell Iran -- you strike us -- and Tehran becomes Glass. You nuke the USA or Israel or any other ally of ours and all of Iran, Mecca and Medina become a glass parking lot!

3. STOP giving our money to the rest of the world while we have such a HUGE DEFICIT! Giving Africa 16 billion dollars will do NOTHING except make us poorer. -- Bush has no Constitutional right to say he is giving our money away.

4. SECURE THE BORDERS -- See #1.
5. Make English the official and only language of the USA. If these so called immigrants can not learn our language do we really want them here/
6. NO MORE MUSLIMS allowed into the USA
7. KICK out all illegal immigrants
8. Stop all aid to illegal immigrants including allowing them to birth a kid and than soak our social services -- if the mother is not a USA citizen the kid born here is not a USA citizen
9. STOP SUCKING up to Mexico -- they are NOT our friends.
10. Become PRO American and raise tariffs on goods so that we can re industrialize America. Than and only than will you grow in popularity -- you have isolated conservatives like me - and the liberals will always hate you!

[Howlin]

If Bush keeps this up, he'll hand the Dems an election victory and control of Congress this November.

No, it will be you who continue to pretend this country is conservative when it's centrist.

You all are doing a great job of handing power back to the Democrats. Hope you're happy with the results.

[bushinohio]

You're correct. And "sending a message" by not voting or voting third party is a colossal blunder. That's exactly what gave us 8 years of Clinton.
