"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.

What context is omitted?
Have I remembered to tell you how much easier you are to take since you discovered that you had a shift key?
Now you ask that, after joining Howlin in her typical lying attack?
I'm a liar because I posted a "letter" you denied you wrote?
Gosh, now I know where that thing about "Keyes not really mean REAL reparations" came from.
Hmm...another lie. What a shock.
By "subsequent events," do you mean you needing a job or sumpin'?
Third party no hiring?
You're called a communist here by non-newbie FReepers? And I mean THE exact word: communist.
You really are just absolutely bizarre, EV!
Correction, EV. I asked you. You denied. She posted proof that I was right.
HOW is that a lying attack?
They believe in nothing but going along with the "club."
I already answered that question in anearlier post. Federal law supercedes local law. The state of Arizon does not control the border. The Federal government does. What laws make it a crime to turn in illegal immigrants? I am unaware of these laws.
Tain't nuttin' compared to the increases 3 decades ago.

According to the chart, in current dollars, oil was under $5/barrel when I was a newlywed in 1971. By 1981, in current dollars, oil was more than $35 a barrel.
Imagine, a 7-fold increase in cost per barrel.
That's why Japanese cars did well. That's why home-insulation and wood-burning stoves sold like hotcakes.
I love it when you get caught and you squeal like a wussy and snipe like a grade schooler.
Just love it.
No, reconsideration about what was best for the country, after watching the powers-that-be dehydrate a helpless young woman to death while her poor mother and father and brother and sister had to watch.
But you don't care about that. Anything you can do to slime good conservatives makes any and all of that meaningless in your bitter, sad little world.
"This may be the dumbest question ever, but why can't we build anymore refineries?"
There is simply no possible way to build a new refinery to code.
We're talking serious toxic waste here...
The best solution is to refine off-shore, I nominate Haiti.
Now look at who got a 'stealth' ping.
FOTFLOL!
You're just like a pig in poop, yep.
Yep. In many ways they're worse than Democrats.
You seem rather familiar with the concept of stealth pinging, tho.
