Bush is not as unpopular as the little lady the Democrats are getting ready to run.  Talk about taking the blinders off when are the Demcorats going to figure out that for all their bs they keep getting their butts kicked come election time?

		<description>&lt;i&gt;He knows not to pay attention to the polls. But how could you not?&lt;/i&gt;

Easy Faith, and Term Limits.

Also, Pres. Bush&#039;s perceived weakness could end up being a strength at the mid-term elections.

It&#039;s a honey-pot trap for Democrats.

They can&#039;t help but attacking him more strongly and thinking that the President&#039;s weakness corresponds to strength in their ideals.

They will proclaim those ideals louder and more forcefully and this will inevitably bite them in their braying donkey asses.

The majority of folks in a majority of places in the U.S. recoil at most liberal ideas, the more Democrats forget this, the better for Republicans.

		<description>Seems there&#039;s a deal written by Chappaquidick on immigration.

As to big spender, via Bros. Judd:

...At any rate, given that Ms Noonan believes, for some reason, that Ronald Reagan was a conservative and George W. Bush isn&#039;t, it&#039;s perhaps helpful to just compare the two: when Ronald Reagan left office in 1988 he was dunning us 18.1% of GDP to pay for a federal government that spent 21.2% of GDP. In 2004, the last year for which I could find numbers, George W. Bush had lowered our tax burden to 16.3% of GDP-- a level last reached in 1959--to pay for a government that spent 19.8 of GDP....

----

&quot;consider what Bush&#039;s numbers would be if our corporate media stopped shying away from doing their job.&quot;

Worst economy since Herbert Hoover!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

White unemployment under 5%, black unemployment even lower than Bubba........

Divvies averaging about $1700 per person a lot into IRAs where it can&#039;t be spent......

Drug costs coming down thanks to Medicare drug program and the eeeevvvvviiillllll Wal-Mart, Canuck drug purchases down approx. 30%.

		<description>I think Roger ghosted &quot;Profiles in Courage&quot; years ago.

Nothing should ever be &quot;very unique.&quot;

As for Bush doing the right thing, let&#039;s give a little credit to Midland, Texas.  This isn&#039;t the man from Kennybunkport.  He means what he says, and he&#039;s wise enough to know his consistency will teach the mullahs, the kleptocrats, the Democrats and the mainstream media that he means what he says.

		<description>Bush can&#039;t run again.

So I&#039;m supposed to go out and vote &quot;D&quot; to send the president a message?  I live in NY - it can&#039;t get any more &quot;D&quot; here.  My rep is a RINO with no serious competition.  I don&#039;t much like him but I&#039;m not voting for the sacrificial goat with a &quot;D&quot; after her name to send a message to a lame duck.

I am not particularly a GWB fan.  He&#039;s a big spender, and way too soft on immigration and Iran.  But he is mostly OK on the WOT.  Do you really think I&#039;m going to vote for Hillary?

Remember the Tehran Embassy takeover?  Iran&#039;s been at war with us for 30 years and payback is way overdue.

		<description>&quot;consider what Bush&#039;s numbers would be if our corporate media stopped shying away from doing their job.&quot;

Your derangement is highly amusing.

If the &quot;corporate media&quot; went any further left, the only readers they&#039;d have would be the inmates at the DU.

Speaking of which, how&#039;d you get out?

		<description>I agree, forget the polls. They don&#039;t come close to reflecting how unpopular this president really is. Imagine Nixon with Fox blaring his innocence 24/7 or consider what Bush&#039;s numbers would be if our corporate media stopped shying away from doing their job. Bush&#039;s numbers are in the tank and as the wall of deceit and secrets around him crumbles, he&#039;ll truly begin to find his true level of support. I&#039;d guess around three percent - that would be you guys. Die hards. Sad sacks. Royalists eager to kiss King George&#039;s hiney.

		<description>The book was &quot;Profiles In Courage&quot;, not &quot;Profiles in  Poll-Watching&quot;. I always admired former NY City Mayor Ed Koch for his attitude - &quot;If you don&#039;t like it, don&#039;t vote for me.&quot;
