Build a fence on the southern border and the numbers will go up big time.

Because some people are throwing the baby out with the bath water.
We live in difficult times and people are focusing on the negative, rather than the positive.
In the eyes of some Americans,
The Democrats are succeeding in dividing the Republicans.
President Bush has been a good President. What is amazing is how many things in a free society are beyond his control, that people think are under his control. It almost sounds like many of them would love living under a dictator. But then they would moan because they have less freedom. When you think you can have it both ways, a reality check is in order.
I will say this from now until eternity, God's Kingdom is the only place you can have it both ways. So if you are not focusing a reasonable amount of time pursuing that goal, your just going to continue living in a world of frustration, fear, and anger. This world will NEVER be anything but vanity and vexation of spirit, beacause of sin and its effects in EVERYBODY's life. Until this imperfect world becomes perfect, every day will have its share of trouble.
1 Corinthians 13:10 But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.
What is the single largest factor for Bush's low poll numbers?
More voters are liberal now (0) 0%
Loss of moderates on issues (0) 0%
Loss of GOP base on border issue (0) 0%
Media distortion of poll numbers (0) 0%
Total Votes: 0
Good grief .. 43% is not a new "all time" low.
The drive-by media just keeps taking their fake polls - over-sampling dems by double digits. No wonder they get the numbers they want to fit their agenda. The dems are hoping that if they just say it long enough .. the public will abandon the GOP in 2006. I've got news for them - ain't gonna happen.
And .. THE PRESIDENT'S PERSONAL APPROVAL RATING IS 61% - that's right .. SIXTY-ONE PERCENT. Any repub who believes the dems and won't be seen with the President IS A FOOL.
Because I am paying 3 bucks for a gallon of gas that probably costs 40 cents to produce. And the Bush family is into big oil
Time to get out the popcorn.
BUMP
Here is a little on that subject.
I have run across many articles over the years about the concept of peak oil and the question of refinery capacity. Here is just part of one of those articles. I do not know what is the whole and true story, we all know that that whacko-enviros have been a huge hindrance to drilling and investment, but ALSO it makes sense that for oil companies, it has been easier for them to gain higher margins/profits if they close refineries. Hold the flames. ;-)

The oil industry's own internal memos show the intentional shrinking of American refinery capacity in the 1990s was the oil companies' own idea to pump up profits.
Take this internal Texaco strategy memo: "The most critical factor facing the refining industry on the West Coast is the surplus of refining capacity, and the surplus gasoline production capacity. (The same situation exists for the entire U.S. refining industry.) Supply significantly exceeds demand year-round. This results in very poor refinery margins and very poor refinery financial results. Significant events need to occur to assist in reducing supplies and/or increasing the demand for gasoline." The memo went on to discuss a successful campaign in Washington State to shrink refined supply by removing other additives in the gasoline that filled gas volume.
Another Mobil memo shows the company promoted tough regulations in California to shut down an independent refiner. A Chevron memo acknowledged the industry wide need to shutter refineries and discussed how refiners were responding in kind.
Large oil companies have for a decade artificially shorted the gasoline market to drive up prices. Oil companies know they can make more money by making less gasoline. Katrina should be a wakeup call to America that the refiners profit widely when they keep the system running on empty.

I omitted a few sentences of this article that may have shown a political leaning of the writer. Here is hoping these above paragraphs alone could be examined for their veracity.

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.
Every election year the polls are rigged to make Republicans look bad. That is all you need to know.
