NEW Gallup: Bush's Soaring Approval More Sustained Than Any In Presidential History

GALLUP ^

[hawaiian]

"President Bush's job approval rating shows no sign of decline. The latest Gallup poll, conducted Nov. 8-11, measures the president’s approval rating at 87%. Bush’s 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

You're reading my freepmail too? Isn't it amazing how much hate mail I get? Well, actually, you probably aren't amazed at all! But hey, if it weren't for freepmail, I'd never get any mail at all.

[Buckeroo]

We have seen constituents of many governments swallow the shallow claims of government leaders. Bush is taking your Bill of Rights away ..... and you swallow that swill under the idea that you are safe and protected from some terrorist.

You invited terrorism when you fell for Bush's claim.

"national interests"

Really crude of us to think that stopping more WTC abominations might be in our national interests. Sorry we aren't all as refined as you.

[Senator Pardek]

Well, I'm sure it's as constitutional as the War On Doctor-Assisted Suicide, but that don't matter, no?

[concerned about politics]

Never heard of it affecting regular traditions of this country. The hiding is just cowardice and bad leadership. Since when did Americans hide? Even when they had good reason to be hated, I can't remember them hiding.

Never before has our nation been under attack.
Clinton dodged the draft, ran to Europe, somehow was allowed into Soviet Russia where he engaged in anti-American protests.
If clintoon were president right now, he'd be running to Red China for safty!
Heck, he screamed when he recieved a bad batch of "unknown medicine viles" that got contaninated by saliminilla when they rotted!!! He screamed like a drunkin baby!

Neither one of us is a Bush Cheerleader, but unlike you, I don't believe everything he does is part of a nefarious

Psst ... I don't think it's any secret I believe Bush is just doing as he's told. Believe it or not, they've rarely put the real brains on the front burner ... for certain not since that sunny day in Dallas, Texas.

I'll grant you Nixon was cunning but he had such a fatal slavish devotion to being part of the Inner Ring, he never dreamed -- and probably didn't realize -- they sold him out for effect ... a wound of a dialectic they could pick to bleed at their leisure until it was time to close it over with confessions of red-diaper babies and the compassion of the pro-choice right and drown us dead in the warm bath of the bipartisan middle.

I'll also maintain Reagan was the only president since Roe who could actually articulate a compelling argument for Life in which it appeared he believed wholeheartedly. 'Course, they tried to kill him and then his brains got scrambled. Whatya gonna do?

[Lucius Cornelius Sulla]

I'm a little confused. You posted a comment on FR. I replied to it in agreement, but used a form of sarcasm to agree. You complained that I had replied to your FR comment. I guess I used sarcasm again, by suggesting that your objection to my posting seemed to imply that FR comments are private, like freepmail. Then you seemed to imply that my agreement with you was a form of hate mail.

You are a very hard person to agree with. I guess I'll have to give up (on replying to you, not in agreeing with you).

The way things are going on this thread, we might be sharing a taste of the Gallos instead.

[Senator Pardek]

'Course, they tried to kill him and then his brains got scrambled. Whatya gonna do?

Lol... "They" again. Thanks, Mrs. Rivero!

[Askel5]

More importantly, the real cause of the terrorism was the collapse of Arab oil profits after the Gulf War.

Hold that thought, will ya?

I'll go type up a little "short list" of terror groups and nations that harbor them so we all can continue this discussion of "Bin Laden's Cells" and "Islamic" rage over oil profits with a perspective that might render absolutely ludicrous the notion that Bin Laden ... or even the entire arc of militant Islam ... is anywhere near the Head of the Snake.

Laugh now ... Wallaby's '99 articles won't be offline forever, you know.

(And I know someone's who's probably got stacks of who knows what hard copies holding her bookshelves level.)

Re: your 113.......I agree, Algore never went into hiding, but didn't he get lost in a one-acre woodpatch awhile back?

[Senator Pardek]

OK - in all fairness, I'll give you a chance to retract your post.

Do you really believe that those friendly to the Bush camp tried to kill Reagan? Mind you, anything other than a "Yes Or No" will be considered a "Yes".

Please reply.

[lavrenti]

To the contrary. We know very well who are enemies are and are in the process of slowly and patiently eliminating them. What I mean by my statement is that once the smoke clears (whenever that will be, this, again is a long war), who remains?

Seriously, Radical Islam demanded a clash of civilizations. So while denying it we are engaging them and winning. We are in the process of utterly devestating their base in Afghanistan. Next possibly is Iraq, then likely it is Hizbulluh. Then probably assist the Russians with the Chechens and the Algerians with their beasts (if anyone can be more evil than the Taliban, the animals who make up the "Islamic Opposition" over there are the poster boys; their activities are a laundry list out of Hell). Perhaps Powell can pull of the impossible and get a comprehensive peace deal in the Middle East, at the very least efforts can be made to bring Hamas to heel (especially if Hizbulluh receives the Taliban treatment).

And, yes, we do create our own enemies—in this case due to opportunity. Under Clinton we coddled every Islamic dirtbag, from Albanian squatters to Fatah thugs. We left the impression to bin Laden that we were chumps, stupid ones at that.

Anyhow, W. is fixing the problem.

I'll ignore the insult, since generally your posts are more thoughtful. The experiences of living through 9/11 and its aftermath; having to work five blocks upwind from GZ has mellowed me out. An experience such as standing on the corner of Sixth and Bleecker with my six-year-old daughter, watching the north tower fall, changes a man.

[Lucius Cornelius Sulla]

Bitter, bitter LLAN. You missed your chance to take out the VP. Your boys are having to got back into their Afghani caves. Wouldn't you find their company more congenial than ours.

[Lucius Cornelius Sulla]

I think I have likely misunderstood you, based on the italisized 'we' above. I must confess that I never considered anything X-42 did as something 'we' were involved in.

[concerned about politics]

What's with you and this VP thing? You have a crush on this guy or what?
Left wing waco Islamic terrorist, aided and abeted by Clinton, killed thousands of American citizens, and you complain because Cheny isn't kissing your butt?
You have to be a Florida Democrat. No kidding. You have no idea how this country is run.
I don't really care how you "feel" about our VP, but I know he's doing what is best for the country, and the real citizens of this nation.
Now, your ignorance of politics is really getting old, and you'd do better at that democrap place underground, worshiping dirt and rocks like the rest of them.
