This is the “Dose” thread
WHEN YOU’VE READ OR HEARD FOR THE ONE BILLIONTH TIME THAT PRESIDENT BUSH IS “UNPOPULAR” AND/OR “RADIOACTIVE” (FOR REPUBLICANS) JUST REMEMBER THE FOLLOWING FACTOIDS:
Factoid #1:
According to RealClearPolitics (RCP), the President’s net job approval rating is 22 points HIGHER than that of the Democrat-controlled Congress. [I’m sure you’ve noticed that the MSM never mentions this fact!]
http://www.realclearpolitics.com/polls/
Factoid #2:
According to the new BattleGround Poll (May 19), the President remains PERSONALLY POPULAR:
. . . like Ronald Reagan before him, voters seem able to disapprove of the Presidents job performance (32%approve/63%disapprove // 41%favorable/58%unfavorable) and still approve of him as a person. When respondents are asked for their impression of George W. Bush as a person, 56% approve and just 36% disapprove. This feeling about the President personally is so pervasive that even 25% of Democrats approve of him personally.
Hispanic voters follow this same trend, while African Americans and young people do not.
This is an important distinction for Democrat candidates to the degree they plan to run against Bush this cycle. Not only is Bush not on the ballot, but the voters make a clear distinction between the man and his policies.
It is important to note that history tends to judge past Presidents not so much on their success or failure in policy areas, but on the moral character of the individual. Former President Carter is perhaps our best living example. History will probably be kinder to President Bush. In focus groups throughout the country, voters continue to tell us that they view the President as a principled, honest and determined leader.

But isn’t ‘Dose’ spelled ‘Those’, or am I speaking Volapuk?
I agree Laura does always look lovely
I know, it disgusts me too
My brother graduated from the Air Force Academy, in 1969, and President Nixon was the Commencement Speaker. ;o)
For being a day in the life of W, I didn’t see any pictures of his staff betraying him or Federal employees leaking government secrets to the press. Maybe those will be in the next batch. \sarc
Work can be so inconvenient sometimes!
Oh. Well at least I know as much about it as when I asked.
Thanks for the info.
As an afterthought, what did you do to tick off the Lead Moderator so bad?
Yes, it can! Sheesh!
Wish I didn’t have to work! LOL!
Thanks. I bookmarked the link to the Pentagon channel.
I know. Fox News was talking about it this morning
Please thank your brother for his service!
snugs or STARWISE can explain the “Dose” and where the term came from better then I can
Will do! His younger son served as an Apache Longbow pilot in Afghanistan, and when he couldn’t continue flying beyond his rank as Captain, decided to join Special Forces. He trained, and passed, and he’ll be going to Iraq later this year.
What a great picture of the day.
Bump!
Thanks, I thought it was perfect
Pentagon Channel on AFN or CSPAN they rerun them on the weekend!
