Along with the lowest overall job approval rating of his presidency, the latest USA Today/Gallup poll gives President George W. Bush record low scores for his handling of a variety of national issues and perceived leadership abilities. Since January, Bush's ratings have fallen most sharply with respect to his handling of energy policy and Iraq.

You can't possibly care about the borders.
If you cared about the borders you would know pelosi as speaker would give this country amnesty. The gop in the house is stopping it.
I don't understand how you can say you care about borders but will vote against that.
I just saw a Rasmussen poll that had President Bush's approval rating in the 40's, so who cares!
Oh, I'm so frightened.
I've seen enough of your posts over on LoonyPlace to tell me all I need to know about you. Be sure to tell your buddies Boot Hill and Travis hello for me.
Ever heard of the filibuster?
Nothing can get passed in congress without the approval of harry reid and chuck schumer.
You have as much power as bush does in getting anything passed in this congress.
The real crime is that the media calls congress a gop majority.
Gop can't even vote on amendments without harry reid's approval.
"Your Hysteria acting up? "
Not mine, but every time someone mentions Bush and his lack of border security you shreek like a 12 year old girl at a slumber party.
Hardly meant to frighten you.
It corrected your post to blackirish claiming that he/she is trying to control the content of this thread.
YOU have been called down by the moderator and I proved it.
LOL!
Go read my posts on that other forum. I've spent a number of posts defending Free Republic and Jim Robinson from baseless smears. Yes, I've expressed my disappointment with some of the posters and their special treatment here. But I still defend Free Republic. But don't let that get in the way of your smear.
Let me quote a recent post I made there:
How many people see a pro-immigration reform/pro-border security thread when it is posted? A lot. Radio talk show hosts do their prep work by reading FR. Opinion molders read it. Pundits read it. Lawmakers read it. If you get your conservative ideas out there and bumped enough, and they aren't removed because a few disruptors tank a thread, then hundreds of thousands of people see it. Do the math.As I've said before, FR is not perfect, but it is the best thing going at this time for conservative activism.
Malcontent? No conservative will ever be "content" with big government.
No thanks.
Every time you get a time out here, you run to your other forum.
Ever heard of the nuclear option. Remember, Bill Frist comes in fron the cameras and threatens to use it about once every three months. Ever heard of a veto? The president has threatened to used it twice now; the Dubai ports deal and the current budget proposal. Well he didn't use it on the Dubai deal, (I know the Dubai guys pulled their proposal--wink wink) and I'm not holding my breath to see if he'll use it to cut the pork out of the budget.
"""And, oh, one other thing: The war in Iraq. As I confirmed again on a visit to Ohio last week, the casualties of that war -- the group deaths of Marines and Army reservists plucked from their Ohio hometowns for repeated tours -- have triggered a popular backlash more worrisome to Republicans than the scandals that have destroyed the standing of Gov. Bob Taft and jeopardized the whole state GOP ticket.
"""Hence the surprise announcement from Boehner that he has decided the House should have a full-scale debate on Iraq policy some time this spring, perhaps before the Memorial Day break. ...""
Here's a better link to my very few posts on that other forum. I have nothing to hide. You can portray them as negatively as you want, but you don't have the truth behind you.
Now that you and Onyx are done stalking me in a weak attempt to smear me and avoid rational debate here, can we get back to the subject at hand?
If Bush's approval rating start to go up, expect the Dems to come up with another "gate".
We are falling for the Dems tactics. I hope to wake up Nov 2006 to a caterwalling Democratic party.
The following is just a reminder, the last being the most important at this time.
Rules for Radicals provides the organizer with a tactical style for community organization that assumes an adversarial relationship between groups of people in which one either dominates or is dominated.
"The first rule of power tactics is: power is not only what you have but what the enemy thinks you have."
"Wherever possible go outside the experience of the enemy. Here you want to cause confusion, fear, and retreat."
"Make the enemy live up to their own book of rules. You can kill them with this. They can no more obey their own rules than the Christian church can live up to Christianity."
Ridicule is man's most potent weapon. It is almost impossible to counterattack ridicule. Also, it infuriates the opposition, who then react to your advantage."
"The threat is generally more terrifying than the thing itself."
"In a fight almost anything goes. It almost reaches the point where you stop to apologize if a chance blow lands above the belt."
"Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it."
One of the criteria for picking the target is the target's vulnerability ... the other important point in the choosing of a target is that it must be a personification, not something general and abstract."
"The enemy properly goaded and guided in his reaction will be your major strength."
Well, aren't you special Onyx. I'm glad you're so interested in me and my posts you keep these tidbits in your own personal little archive. I thought I might have that affect on you.
If I was stalking you, I would be following you from thread to thread.
STALKING YOU?
Grow up. This is an open forum and I am NOT stalking you.
You're too predictably malcontent and you're of scant interest to me.
Furthermore, it was the era of Poindexter.
Did Reagan recover in 1987? What did he accomplish that last year? Was his party standing behind a very unpopular proposition such as Amnesty of more than 12 million illegals?
Don't flatter youself. I easily recalled the admin moderator's post to you.
And yes, thank you, I am special.
He had already given them amnesty.
