I would have thought that any talk of him being the same as his Dad would have stopped the moment he beat Kerry.
But I see both the right and the left trumpeting the same insanity.

President George W. Bush is not the PROBLEM. The House and the Senate are the PROBLEM. One man cannot be a bigger enemy than 535 people in the House and Senate. The 535 are todays numbers though this has been true since George Washington.

The media and Congress have LOWER poll numbers (maybe even COMBINED).

I was aghast when W listed off those "failures" the other day, but to compare this 2 term Presidency with his father's is folly. George W. Bush has done a whole lot of good these last 6 years, especially if you are an NRA member.
To: JOE43270
President Bush is actively putting brutal pressure on 535 people in the House and Senate to pass the amnesty bill and has willingly become a large part of the problem..

That was a power ghraib and a successful attempt to turn people against the war.
Unfortunately, it also served to rally the jihadists to flood into Iraq (and it is them we fight today, not Iraqi military).
The media trumped up their outrage over Abu Ghraib (the men were already being tried, it was one of the accused who leaked the images, the media helped to fake and circulate their own worse "fake but accurate" images of soldiers urinating on prisoners and raping women, and the media never wanted to discuss the treatment of prisoners under Saddam... CNN kept quiet about known abuses under Saddam to keep their Baghdad bureau).
The media was successful in dragging down the war effort but they were not successful in stealing back the White House or in "helping" to prosecute these men (who were already being prosecuted and who were convicted). Even the Congressmen (like Hillary Clinton) who express outrage were lying as they had been contacted prior to the release of the photos and blew it off as unimportant.
The media is treasonous and deceitful.

Other than stomping on the Constitution with his signing of McCain-Feingold, I'm of the opinion that W's biggest mistake was his failure to clear out the Clintonistas from all the governmnent agencies that he could.
They've done nothing but hinder and back-bite him and his programs.

Try polling a 51-48% Rep to Dem split and get that result then we will talk. Having to oversample the Democrat respondents by 1/3 to manufacture the outcome you want is propaganda NOT sound Methodology.
And spare me the self serving nonsense "well more people are Democrats now" Political Identification changes slowly. People rarely switch more then one in their lives from Rep to Dem or vice versa. Calling up 500 people asking them "what are you Dem or Rep" just means YOU called more Dems, not that more people ARE Dems. The PROVEN ratio to use is Election results. But if this is done the Junk Media doesn't get these dramatic headlines to hype and exaggerate that it wants so of course they cannot do be HONEST. It's Market Share, NOT Intellectual Honesty that drive these weekly polls.
Simply amazing that the same American people who can be so utterly cynical about Commercial Advertising are so hopelessly gullible when it comes to Ideological Advertising with a phony "News" or "Poll" label slapped on it.

Communist Bravo Sierra - Typical and predictable. I have a great deal of respect for our President, but I have to admit that this Amnesty business makes me a bit queasy.

This is a ridiculous article and analogy. George Bush's father never made it into his second term.
A more apt discussion would be how second term presidency's typically produce low poll numbers.

President George W. Bush is not the PROBLEM. The House and the Senate are the PROBLEM. Sorry Joe, but at risk of being flamed by Bush-bots, your wrong. Bush has ZERO ability to communicate a cohesive thought, littleless convincingly defend any ideas he may have. He is loosing the war of his credibility because he doesn't know how to communicate at all. You can see misstep after misstep. The Senate has been screwing him over, thats true, but what has he done to fight for his causes or defend his leadership. Social Security reform? Education Reform? Drilling in ANWAR? Abu Grave? Nothing! He tends to only boldly defend the stupid stuff that pisses his base off the most from Harriet Myers, to Ports Deal to Amenesty for illegals.

President Bush is actively putting brutal pressure on 535 people Prove that statement. I say that is an utter and complete falsehood. If that were the case we would of got Soc Security reform last year. I say you are knowing telling a falsehood here. Prove me wrong. You can't cause YOU KNOW it absurd nonsense.
DC does NOT work in the way your favorite TV show TELLS you it does. It utterly NONSENSE to claim the President is "Applying Brutal pressure" Hyperbole, exaggeration and feverish emoting DOES not help make the Antis case. It makes their whole side of the issue look juvenile, hysteric and foolish.
The President cannot put "brutal pressure" on anyone in Congress. For crying out LOUD, they almost shut the place down in a "Constitutional Crises" because a PROPER Search Warrant was served on one of the member's office. It is utterly absurd make believe hype and Hollywood level nonsense to claim the President is "applying brutal pressure" to Congress. This sort of hype just make the poser look childish.
Time for the 100%ers to take a deep breat and get a grip on reality again. That statment is utterly absurd.

He is roughly at the same place in the polls where the elder Bush was at the low point of his presidency, with only about three of every 10 Americans registering approval. Like his father before him, this president faces a rebellion among conservatives, an uncertain economic outlook and the prospect of Republican losses in November. This President Bush is in a hole because of his determination to go against what American CITIZENS want, in favor of Fox and the Mexicans who have invaded our country. At this rate, Bush will finish much lower than his dad did. His arrogance will overshadow the good things he has done for Americans!

His speech on immigration was his first address to the American public (on a domestic issue) since 9/11.
In nearly five years (since 9/11) he has provided virtually no leadership on border security and immigration reform.
When he finally presents a plan, it's just what Ted Kennedy wants.

CBS : "an uncertain economic outlook"
Reality : A scorching 5.3% GDP growth.
CBS: " and the prospect of Republican losses in November. "
Reality :
#1. CBS has talked about "Republican losses in November" every single election year since President Bush took power. They have been wrong every time.
# 2. With Republican House members set to shoot down the evil Senate Immigrating Bill, Republicans are going to maintain control of The House.
