"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.

Given the number of African-Americans in prison, we ought to ship them all to Liberia, right?
You've been here nearly a year don't you know wardaddy better than this?
I didn't ask anyone to justify their support for Bush, or to make excuses for his non-conservative domestic policy agenda. After 5-1/4 years the public facts of the Bush Presidency are well documented to anyone interested in seeking out the factual truth of current political events.
I'm a firm believer in the second amendment. Free speech and political dissent are the options the Founders made available to the American people, in order we might hold our elected officials accountable for decisions and actions relative to their governance of this great nation.
>>>>I know the Republicans have let us down, but, I am sure not going to let the Democrats get back in power.
Neither am I.
And I don't understand why the president is taking all the heat for the immigration problem. What about the past presidents who have done nothing to address it? What about a congress that has done nothing about it for decades?
I ask that same question and then the President gets on the TV and says things like doing jobs Americans won't do and other crazy words that other Presidents never said or even congresspersons.
He wants the largest amnesty in the history of our country (the world?) for the illegals he and others have let in, and then he wants also to increase legal immigration from the third world.
In doing so, he's giving away our nation, turning it into something rather different than the nation we grew up in, and putting us on the same path over the multicultural cliff already paved by much of Western Europe.
Even after the 9-11 wake up call, he continues with this policy. In particular, he still imports the worst malady of all from the third world: Islam, bringing in half a million new muslims to our homeland, and ensuring that Mohammad Atta's faith continues to be the "fastest growing religion" in the homeland.
That's why he's lost me and so many conservatives.
Why he's lost the rest of America is simpler. He's grossly inarticulate. He can barely finish a coherent thought unless it's on a teleprompter. He can't sell. If he showed up on your doorstep stammering about some new vacuum cleaner you'd slam the door in his face. When he shows up on TV babbling about policy, even when he's saying something likely true (progress in Iraq) folks turn him off or tune him out.
You darn well could have fooled me. I do see that you darn well have a good sense of how to use the word darn. Darn straight?
Yeah, it's the media's fault that Bush is a complete globalists determined to do his best to kill off the nation state, dissolve our borders, and instigate what he has told everyone to their face he wants from the very begining, a Free Trade Zone of the America's.
I should. Stuff still suprises me sometimes though.
Wow. I suggest that you don't quit your day job just yet.
Which is exactly what you want and what you've been agitating for here on FR.
>>>>Which is exactly what you want and what you've been agitating for here on FR.
That is simply not true. You don't know what you're talking about. I've worked for almost 40 years to get Republicans elected to office. Show me one single post where I advocated such BULLoney. You can't, because its doesn't exist. Such ridiculous remarks only make you look like a whiny, vindictive juvenile. As a conservative I stick to the facts and the truth. Obviously, you can't accept the political truth about Bush. I suggest you don't read my posts in the future.
Bwahahahahahahahahaha...and you call other people juvenile?!
I see you came back empty handed. So you really can't back up your rhetoric with facts. Instead you obfuscate and lie. I was right. You are a whiny, vindictive juvenile, who can't stand to hear the truth about Bush.
That's only part of it and a small part. First, they could build in Mexico. They won't. They've been rationalizing refining capacity for quite sometime. Building new refineries has not been on their agenda for quite some time. Blaming the enviros is an easy excuse to feed the public.
