Why the Polls are Low for President Bush

"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.

At least Democrats have beliefs.

Wrong-headed ones, but they stick by them.

Hey, you're right; I did leave off "the subsequent" remarks on that thread:

Here's one right here:

I have to call this one a night soon, but I am sort of waiting for you to get in a George Allen dig before I depart.

You think threatening RINOs and other assorted liberals politically is a BAD thing around here, Howlin?

Sometimes I'm in awe at how badly you've deluded yourself in your bitterness...

No, you did NOT answer my question at all. The ONLY thing you did do, was go off on another topic completely; one which was irrelevant and meaningless.

I know for a fact, that there are laws, local laws, quite a few decades old, in N.Y.C. and in Chicago, which forbids the people in the professions I named, from alerting the INS/ICE to the illegal aliens whom they've come in contact with, in a professional way. I also know, unlike you, evidently, that there are other places, whose local laws are the same or similar.

You are unaware of facts, yet you post, with "authority", about that which you have little knowledge of.

In a debate, knowledge is key. Facts matter; they really do!

Considering that that includes you O( the RINO bit ), that's quite an admission. LOL

You actually think things you say MATTER here, EV?

I merely posted it because you acted like I left things out, which I most certainly did not.

But, hey, nice try at making ME the problem when you're the one who lied.

Sometimes I'm in awe at how badly you've deluded yourself in your bitterness...

You mistake mocking for bitterness. But, of course, you would.

I've been giving the media driven panic some thought;

That's why I no longer subscribe to Newsday or The NY Times.

Why give the MSM money to help them spread their lies and to help them support their candidates?

I remember when I announced I was going to quit buying those papers, well-meaning people asked if I was worried I was going to miss the "other" side of the stories. I don't think I've missed a thing, since I "channel surf" enough to catch the attacks on Bush. If I catch 5-10 minutes of Keith Olberman, I can catch news of 3 Bush "scandals."
