Hiya Ohio! Thanks for the dose, all - tonight and all the other nights I just peaked but couldn't stay to chat. I can't believe I missed Jonny's night to post the dose! WHAT was I thinkin!
President Bush is going out to campaign a day or two a week. That is pretty normal for this time in the election cycle for a popular President. So that leads us to the next question. Who is showing up to be seen and photographed with the President? And the answer is everybody. Do you really think people running for office want to be associated with an unpopular president?
Then they tell us the war is very unpopular. So where are the protesters? The only one I hear about is Cindy Sheehan. We don't see many pictures of Cindy and her followers. Where are the rest of the anti-war protesters? Don't they care? Where are the people protesting the lack of jobs and the economy?
And did you see the latest generic congressional poll? The Gallup poll says the Republicans have pulled within 2 points. And Gallup like all the rest under polls Republicans.
The media may not say it, but the signs I watch all agree.. they say it is a good year to be a Republican.
But, But, I thought that Republican candidates did not want the president to campaign with them. Isn't that what the DBM have been telling us for months? Would they try to delude us? /s
I was reading an article on a company I'm invested in. The primary owner, a billionaire named Harold Simmons, has been especially generous donating to President Bush's campaigns. He explains why:
SIMMONS:" The policy of the federal government is one of most influential things for business success -- or lack of success. If Democrats were basically in there very long, they'd have everything so regulated and taxed and screwed up that it would kill the economy. We need lower taxes and we need less of an attitude that government's got to make all the major decisions. It's gone way too far. In fact, (President George) Bush has let it go farther than I think he should have, but he's certainly better than the Democrats. They don't understand business. If the Democrats would take some good courses in economics in college, they wouldn't be Democrats, they wouldn't be liberals"
Yes, this is Sanity Island. Thank You! :)
