a Pew Poll, conducted by the prestigious Princeton Univerisity, found bush's approval at 43% on May 11-15. That is a very bad approval rating. Why?

ShinerTX (89 posts) Sun Jan-30-05 11:31 AMOriginal message The Iraq vote is making me sick this morning All the media keeps talking about is how happy the Iraqis are, how high turnout was, and how "freedom" has spread to Iraq. I had to turn off CNN because they kept focusing on the so-called "voters" and barely mentioned the resistance movements at all. Where are the freedom fighters today? Are their voices silenced because some American puppets cast a few ballots? I can't believe the Iraqis are buying into this "democracy" bullsh*t. They have to know that the Americans don't...

Just curious to know what the kooks are thinking. It is pathetic that the left can't admit that this is a historic day. Someone actualy had advice for an insurgent leader. Link: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x1545923

[US News]: WASHINGTON: Seventy-six percent of Iraq's minority Sunni Arabs plan to boycott Sunday's election, according to a new poll by Zogby International for Abu Dhabi Television. The poll released yesterday of 805 Iraqi adults living in Iraq also showed that 69 percent of Iraq's Shi'ite population and 82 percent of Sunni Arabs favored a rapid withdrawal of U.S. forces either immediately, or after an elected government is in place. ''There are deep divisions that exist, divisions that are so deep and pronounced that this election, instead of bringing people together, may very well tear them apart,'' said James Zogby,...

So what do you think the answer is to the question posed in this DUmmie THREAD titled, “Do you feel any animosity toward the Bush voters?” Do you think the DUmmies have warm, fuzzy feelings towards the Bush voters? Not exactly. Try out of control HATE and RAGE! However, there is one notable exception to this attitude among the Democrats. It has come to my attention that Senator Barack Obama is not only a lurker but also a big fan of the DUmmie FUnnies. From what I hear he gets a lot of laughs out of reading the DUFUs....

WASHINGTON - The National Park Service has agreed to give thousands of anti-war demonstrators a prime spot along President Bush (news - web sites)'s inaugural parade route that will allow them to protest during the procession. The anti-war group A.N.S.W.E.R. Coalition is planning to erect its own bleachers in the space, an open plaza on Pennsylvania Ave., just a few blocks from the Capitol building, said Brian Becker, national coordinator for the group. The bleachers could seat up to 1,000 people and the park service estimates up to 10,000 could fill the space standing shoulder to shoulder. "I don't think...

I have entered into the den of iniquity to seek redmeption from the evil that has overtaken us. I ache and groan not lightly but deeply into my very bowels at the doom that has overtaken us. One man, one party has stolen the soul of this nation and transformed us into those who kill and plunder. Oh, the grief of one more fraud that has installed this tyrant. Why must we endure such a pernicious monster? Deliver us from this monster. Take this cancer from us.

TOLEDO, Ohio -- Ohio's presidential recount is complete and the final outcome is unchanged: President George W. Bush won. Democrat John Kerry did shave a few hundred votes off Bush's victory in the state. An Associated Press count of all 88 counties' unofficial totals shows Bush beating Kerry by 118,457 votes. No one expected the recount to change the winner of the election, but supporters of the process said they wanted to make sure that every vote was counted. Ohio and its 20 electoral votes tipped the race to Bush when Kerry conceded the morning after the vote. The state...

Barring unforeseen (and astonishing) developments, President Bush will take a step closer to reelection today as the 538 presidential electors meet in each of the state capitals and the District of Columbia. The electors will fill out ballots, which will be sealed in an envelope from each state and sent to Washington, to be opened on Jan. 6 by the president of the Senate, who will read the results before both houses of Congress. The swearing-in of the new (or, in this case, reelected) president will occur at noon on inauguration day, Jan. 20.

And you thought you were done with the 2004 election. Today the electoral college formally meets to reelect George W. Bush as president. Barring any last-minute surprises, the vote should be 286 for Bush, 252 for John Kerry. This ratification will elicit yawns instead of the outrage it did in 2000, when the electoral college went for the loser of the popular vote. But don't think 2000 was such an anomaly. The country barely dodged a bullet this time around. Had 59,388 Ohioans switched from Bush to Kerry, 2004 would have repeated the acidic result of the electoral college winner...

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Democrat John Kerry is asking county elections officials to allow his witnesses to visually inspect the 92,000 ballots cast in Ohio in which no vote for president was recorded, a Kerry lawyer said Sunday night. The request is one of 11 items that Kerry is asking for as part of the recount that Ohio's 88 county boards of election will begin this week, according to a letter sent to the boards over the weekend. "We're trying to increase the transparency of the election process," said Donald McTigue, the lawyer handling the recount for the Kerry campaign. Two...

If in the months leading up to the election, President Bush's face became as misshapen as Ukrainian opposition leader Viktor Yushchenko's face has become, we would have heard from the Kerry campaign and paranoid lefties everywhere that Karl Rove was behind the matter and probably poisoned the candidate himself! Will the Putin people pick up this tactic?

I'M SORRY I didn't vote for Ralph Nader. Yes, I know it would have been a quixotic gesture, and on some moral level a wasted vote in support of the despicable incumbent. But at least I wouldn't be burdened with the embarrassment of having voted for the great equivocator from Massachusetts, who disgraced himself with his hasty concession to George Bush on Nov. 3. The question just hangs there, unanswered: Why did John Kerry capitulate so quickly, after so many people -- especially poor people -- had braved long lines, cold rainy weather and Republican intimidation to record their opposition...

A short, 2-minute video stream clip here, is quite worth the view (300k) if you have Microsoft Windows Media.It is from Japanese TV today (JNN Network).

He said Kerry "feel very comfortable" about his decision not to challenge the outcome in Ohio. "We know we are not going to overturn the election," McAuliffe said.

COLUMBUS, Ohio - Most of the presidential election provisional ballots rejected so far in Ohio came from people who were not even registered to vote, election officials said after spending nearly two weeks poring over thousands of disputed votes. The vast majority of provisional ballots have been legitimate, however. Of the 11 counties that have completed checking ballots, 81 percent of the ballots are valid, according to a survey Monday by The Associated Press. Unofficial vote totals show President Bush beating Democrat John Kerry by 136,000 votes in Ohio, and Kerry has conceded there are not enough outstanding votes to...

Morgan Chase amid expectations that President Bush will eliminate dividend taxes as part of an eagerly anticipated $600 billion economic stimulus plan.
