"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
Although she did not mention which party these women represented, we know it had to be the Dems, because Republicans would never stoop so low.
I wonder if this was in one of Gephart's (sp) memos on getting out the votes!!!
I think that you may be confusing Whitewater with Watergate.
LOL! And so true!
You're boring me with the crap you spew though. :-P
Off to a different thread.
Thank God for our President, VP,and God bless America. YOOOHOOOO!!!! 87%.
87%.....I gotta pass this number around !!!!!
I think it was a win:win theatre staged by the sorts who specialize in that sort of thing.
"It's the Coincidence Theory, comrade."
If had to pick a "lone gunman" this past century, Randy Weaver would come to mind LONG before any of the stooges set upon our Presidents, Bobby Kennedy, King, Malcolm or the rest.
How about choice 5. In 1960 Nixon, who won the reported popular vote, knew that he had actually won the electoral vote, because of obvious fraud (e.g.--losing areas with 500 inhabitants by 15,000 votes). He decided not to do what Gore was to do in 2000 because he realized that it could destabilize the government, at a time we were about to take out the Red incursion into the Western hemisphere, by invading Cuba and overthrowing Castro.
His patriotism led him to concede, but the entire affair led to his embitterment, which was the root of the whole Watergate matter.
I still defy you to compare Bush's address on federal funding for stem cell testing on "already been killed" embryos or his campaign soundbite ("It's up to her") with Reagan's Abortion and the Conscience of America
Furthermore ... all might do well to understand the hypothetical on which he based his CONVERSION to defending human life.
Reagan wondered along these lines:
If a man who'd always wanted children and who was delighted the pregnancy test strip had come out positive (only days into the pregnancy of his wife) were killed or died and his wife had an abortion or took RU-486 in order that his estate went solely to her, would she be guilty of murdering his rightful heir?
Pretty basic thinking ... just the sort I cotton to, if truth be told.
This would be an astute observation but for the long heritage of just such a thing that proceeds it. It goes back at least to Mark Hanna. His big mistake of course was thinking it was smart to tuck Teddy R into the vice-presidency as a joke. Since then, they have generally gone for weak VP's. The crowd is the old Taft (Ohio, same state as Hanna) crowd, and state of Mainer's are natural bed fellows. Taft of course got the shaft from TR. Later they tried to hook up the 52 convention against Ike for Taft II, but then thought better of it remembering what Teddy did to Taft I. Taft III is big bushie and gave him Ohio this time around.
As a sidelight, Taft II was the guy that fed Robert Moses the inside lead on cornering Federals funds to NYC and gave Moses and the Port Authority the power to redesign the city to their own personal tastes, people be damned.
In some circles, there is a certain amount of suspicion that this crowd had something to do with JFK's last trip to Dallas, though I am more inclinced to believe that was just unintended blowback from the CIA's brilliant assasination program against Castro.
Notice the preoccupation with I's and II's and III's. It's a sort of dead give away like that Southern flag so many RINO's wave.
I believe that the technical term for this is extortion, a major felony, since challenging election results is a civil right of the voters, who were the theoretical challengers at first.
In real life, the secret service of the President and the Vice President follow the previously mentioned protocol to keep them safe in times of war or perceived threats.
Your disappointment that neither of them stepped forward to see if bullets would bounce off their chests or if they could turn aside planes is appalling. Your views would certainly be better received on DU, and I begin to wonder if you are a Dem, simply baiting in an effort to get a flame started.
I appreciate the substantive reply ... thanks very much.
