"President Bush's job approval rating shows no sign of decline. The latest Gallup poll, conducted Nov. 8-11, measures the presidents approval rating at 87%. Bushs job approval has remained at 86% or higher in seven polls conducted over two months. In the history of Gallup polling, no prior presidents have been able to sustain their high approval levels, with no apparent decline, this long." Full Story
That's the RUSSIANS, Askel5, as in the folks who destroyed the cream of Napoleon's army. I'm afraid that reading a howler like this prevented my reading the rest of your stuff.
A: That is not his daughter
B:He would screw the pooch if he could.
I considered registering and pointing out a few flaws in their thinking, but everything I read was so distorted!! I wouldn't know where to begin, and in one since, I empathise with them because I know how bitter I would have been if Algore had managed to win. I wouldn't care how politically incorrect it would have been, I would never have accepted Algore as our president!!!
Aha, another of the 'the US deserved what happenned at the WTC crowd (or is it another of the 'OBL is working for us' Tin-foil hat crowd).
they will remember Monica, the lies, the impeachment, the China technology sale, the lack of morals, the failing schools, the clinton recession.....It's beautiful. We must never let our fellow Americans forget.
And the truth is comming out. People know who let sept 11th happen, and it wasn't GW.
I love it. Liberalism is dying, slowley, happily, dying.
Of course they didn't have to hide from terrorists, they were bought and paid for by terrorist!
Hillary took cash from a muslem terrorist group to help her win the NY seat for crying out loud!
Man, where have you been for the last 8 years! Talk about uninformed. Wow!
Bush 42 is riding high now, but we need to learn from the past and be better prepared to expose the Dems in the next election.
it's common procedure to keep the leaders apart. If one falls, the other is safe. Who the hell are you? You need to get out more!
Do you know anything about goverment at all?
So how come no complaints about the Rooskies having double-crossed them and -- for all Intents, Appearances and Purposes -- having joined the evil Imperialist US in an alliance to wipe out the terrorist cells the World Revolution confected in the first place?
Just another one of those thangs that jest don't make sense to old Askel5.
Apparently somehow I got a private freepmail you sent someone, and mistook it for a posting on FR. In any case sarcasm, in this case light sarcasm, since we are in essential agreement, seems to pass some folks by.
Gee, one of those 'the collapse of the Soviet Union is just a conspiracy to confuse us, and nothing has really changed' tin foil guys. I think even the Birch society has given up on this one. But what are you going to say to someone who thinks that our government is no more representative than the old Soviet Union.
Alright, I concede that they have the right to vote -- but Florida proved that even that is too sophisticated for them to handle!!
And, speaking of "Acts of Congress" ... I appreciate how serious they are about their support what with the PATRIOT ACT and all but ... until this nation actually declares a honest to God war against another nation or individual, I'm really a little weak on all the parallels to World War II.
If the articles cited above are correct and this is a whole new concept of (unending) war studded with intense military engagement as dictated by the sort of "national interests" which embroiled us in the Balkan, I suggest we quit taking comfort in how we used to do things and start inspecting more closely the shape of this new animal which is coming together very rapidly -- at home and abroad -- given how "unawares" and "ill-prepared" we were.
America has never had someone who blanantly lied to them, divided them, and caused them to war with each other before.
Other presidents at least cared for the people and the nation they were elected to serve, and not just for themselves or their chance to rule the world.
I'm sure the nation is now in shock when they think of clinton actually being elected.
I'm sure they've learned their lesson from all this.
Of course, there's always the really stupid voter who votes for that free handout, and there's always going to be the slop and sloth crowd who feel working for a living is just for "the rich."
But it's truly unsettling to realize how much sense it makes when you think about it.
They've just been extraordinarily successful in utterly destroying our Common Sense, that's all.
Gramsci will be proven correct.
(Would you could come round the corner for a pint and a set by my friend John ... been too long. =)
