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.

You are WAY out of line talking to a FReeper like that. Strike one.

No he wasn't. They talk to FReepers EVERY DAY just exactly like that.

They've been talking to me exactly like that for six years.

Gary Montana is a great freeper, a great American, and deserves better on "America's premiere conservative site". Bigtime.

""Independence forever!" - John Adams"

Thats what the French and the British isolationists said as they threw the dissenters out of their lofty towers.

Poor John..he keeps being taken out of context to fit someones agenda century after century.

We'll I answered my own question, it seems like in most states you have to be a registered member of a party to vote in the primary. In the state I live in we have an open primary, and can choose a party ballot when we get there.

I specifically asked you what you would have the president do about the local laws against turning in illegal aliens. You have totally and completely IGNORED the question put to you and, instead, answered with something which YOU wanted to say; yet again.

This is NOT helpful to the debate and exchange of ideas. Forget what YOU would do as president and answer my question.

And as an aside, I suggest you look up just what the president's powers are, granted him by the Constitution.

You're quite an accomplished liar, EV.

To anyone who cares,

I have left the GOP, pending the Governor of Florida and/or the President the United States acting according to their sworn oaths to uphold our constitutions and innocent human life by simply giving Terri Schiavo a drink of water.

I hope and pray fervently that the Governor and/or the President and their political advisors make my decision moot by acting to save this dying American citizen today.

Those who won't act to prevent a murder in progress, when they have the power to do so, deserves no patriotic American's political support ever again.

Feel free to pass this news along to anyone in any way you feel would be appropriate.

WHAT? That was his deathbed toast to his closest friends and family!

No 'context' needed. I quoted it without comment.

I recall you posting a letter you wrote, formally dropping from the GOP.

He did. I see he denied it.

WAL.

I'd veto any bill that gave one cent to any state that had laws against turning in illegal aliens. Thats what I'd do.

You're the liar, Howlin, since you leave out subsequent statements and events.

But that's your style.

And you would be pilloried from here to kingdom come and back again; not to mention having your veto over ridden by both Houses.

Have not checked your FR credentials but can I just ask, how long have you been posting on FR?

Are you serious?

We'll just file this thread away as the "Howlin admits she hates conservatives" thread.

Except for the fact that you lack any context, and that telling a partial 'truth' is a lie.

One man's "freedom" is another man's death sentence in an arrogant world.

Freedom is meant for all people.
