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.

How was I supposed to know it pertained to local governments since you did not mention one word about local governments in that post? I do not see how asking what I think the President should do about illegal immigration would give me any indication that you wanted my answer to specifically address local laws that you did not even mention. Maybe you should learn how to properly formulate questions so that you don't have to attack people for answering the question you actually asked.


And once again please cite the laws that you referred to. I've asked you to three times and you haven't cited them. If you know so much it should be easy to cite them. Otherwise I'll just assume that you made it up. Secondly, your assertion that the Chicago City Council can pass a law that surpasses the President's authority demonstrates that you are not concerned with anything pertaining to reality.

But, frankly, I'm surprised a politico like you would let an anonymous name on the internet reduce you to posting childish insults.

Yeah, I was really disgusted when I came online tonight, after working a twenty hour day to help re-elect Republicans, and seeing YOU, RINO extraordinaire, insulting and degrading one of the top leaders of the NRA in America.

You're dumber than a box of rocks, and a hypocrite. You could care less if the Dems win, no matter what you claim. Your actions reveal that to be true.

Look, I'm an internet harpy.

Nothing more, nothing less.

I fully admit I give as good as I get.

But, unlike you, I'm not asking people to hire me to run their campaigns.

You need to go to bed.

I don't come online to get self-esteem or affirmation of who I am.

I can see that some people do though.

Why don't you want them to get control of the Supreme Court? I am not questioning you belief, but I want to know what issues are importatnt to you. The Supreme Court alone is not an issue. Thge issues are what do you want out of the court, and how do you think a republican like McCain would accomplish these things if he was President.

That's the most honest post I've ever seen you make.


But you're mistaken about me.

I'm not a political hack, I'm an activist.

Now I'll take your advice and go to bed.

This is just too dumb a question to answer.

Ahh, hell it is just easier to call for investigations every time prices go up.

You know what: I do not possess the gene that allows me to comprehend economics, but even I know we don't need any investigations!

Why is that ALWAYS their solution!


Because it is an easy stunt.

Fixing our energy problems is hard work that takes real commitment. There is an old saying: The easiest thing in the world is asking more of someone else.

If the oil companies are indeed not competing then the FTC should investigate. But the politicians "calling for an investigation" is pure political theater. I, for one, have seen this show many times and am bored of it.

By reading and comprehending what the written words said.

We had been talking about ( well, at least I had ) the problems that many local governments places in the way of the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT apprehending illegals. And you are still quite befuddled; having a great amount of difficulty following my posted debate and question.

Trust me, the fault lies with YOU; not with me.

Even though I have repeated the question, explained exactly what it pertained to, you are still dodging it; bobbing and weaving and doing everything in your power to avoid answering it.

Maybe you should just admit that you can't answer the question. The only other alternative, now left open to you, is to stop posting. It is patently obvious that you are not going to even give my question any thought at all, but shall just continue this, by now, pathetic avoidance, by any means possible; though you continue to write anything that comes to mind, about all else.

You're a hack.

If I was a hack, I'd have taken the job with the RNC that Rove offered me in 2000.

That's a difference you're obviously unfamiliar with...
