Bush approval ratings..

He's riding the captured Saddam wave right now. That'll last for a couple months tops. Bush's #'s kept dropping because of the daily troop deaths. Looking at the news, the deaths are continuing. Which can be even worse for Bush cause the implication was that Saddam was the leader behind the insurgency.
 
Capturing one guy effects the approval rating of the president? What was he doing to us?
Why didn't this torturer NOT being captured affect presidential elections before? Your happiness is only happiness of the shortsightedness and shallowness of the American public.
 
asdfasdf

Is that meant to be ironic BtoX? when I click that link it says document not found... maybe thats some sort of slight at the fact that they havn't found WMDs or the document indicating they exist...:p
 
Give me a moment to express my complete and utter annoyance.

P.S. I love <strike>incompetent</strike> Bush boosters.

Edit: emended to remove redundant text.

What an absurd, naive, transcendentially silly comment.

Can you tell me why you think that the american public is somehow shallower and more shortsighted than any other group of humans anywhere on the planet?

Incidentially, I am of the opinion that, barring something very odd, Bush has won already. Economy and mid-east aside, the Dems are, once again, in a death spiral.

I will make a small wager that Osma will be captured/killed 2-3 months before the election just in order to get those last 15 undecided voters. No conspiracy, just that things seem to be breaking for Bush big time. 9/11 was a gift from the gods to him.
 
of course in 50 years well find out that like pearl harbor the president knew about it and let it happen to get us involved in a war.

I tried editing that link a few times - sometimes yahoo links are too long and do not work once cut & pasted. Here is the original story from usatoday:

Hey, someone has to counter-balance the maniacal bush-haters here (redundancy maintained for emphasis).

You keep forgetting, it is the economy, stupid...
Regarding non farm jobs, the U.S. Department of Labor:

and regarding the consumer confidence index:

they support this that I posted in 'Bush economic approval soaring':

I think you just showed that my claim is right, dumby:

.) 132,560,000 jobs in Feb, 2001, before Bush;

.) 130,174,000 jobs in Nov. 2003, under Bush;

and

.) 136 consumer confidence index in 2000, before Bush;

.) 91.7 consumer confidence index in Nov. 2003, under Bush.

Got the recession now, dumby?
toxy,

is the recession, stupid.
 
Incidentally, it IS possible for the vast majority of us out here to appreciate that there is a VAST difference (and probably little connection) between the words and actions of the current US presidential incumbent and the US population and economy. As Mr Bush will come to appreciated when the US population sinks their collective No12 boot into him next year. Put simply, they won't care who wins, as long as it isn't him.

...
is off, too.

It is a valid comment by Judith.

And an absurd question by Ed:

against the world, against U.N., the American public supports a wasteful and murderous war for oil in Iraq, with "...shallower and more shortsighted..." slogans than facts:

.) WMDs in Iraq;

.) Al-Qaeda link to Iraq;

.) nuclear link between Niger and Iraq;

.) 'liberation' of Iraq.

Still don't know what a recession is? Is the French educational system really that bad or are you just a moron? I'm guessing both.

I think you're forgetting that Australians won't be voting for U.S. president next year...

Yo!

toxy!

I think you are forgetting that the Americans will be voting for who is going to become the U.S. President next year.

You came out of your bathroom, for this?

Did you wash your shorts, at least?

Nevermind recession, that's too much for your small head.

Now, go back to your bathroom for more washing.

Oh no we aren't! And we've had this conversation on this forum a few times already.

How can we forget that a person who is going to seriously affect our own country in many ways, and many other countries across this globe too, is going to be elected by a bunch of boosters whose collective IQ doesn't exceed their shoe size and simply because he "stands up to the ungodly heathen towelheads". Meanwhile tens of millions of others from that same country exercise their right NOT to vote because there are no candidates they agree with enough or they just couldn't be bothered to roll up to a polling place on the day. So do we appreciate this? What do YOU think!

You're damn lucky we in the rest of the world AREN'T voting! The incumbent in the Whitehouse would be somewhat different, I suspect, if we did.
 
Sure. Like for instance, look at Russia's track record, and Serbia, and Britain, and Germany, and.......

By the way, just for the hell of it, show me a country that has a 100% voter turnout. Oh, and show me one that has never elected a leader it didn't end up disliking.

I think Iraq did, last year, didn't they? Fat lot of good it did them.
 
Take heart, Zep.


So far, I'm not overly impressed with any of the dem candidates out there, but I'll tell you this:

I'm going to vote for which ever one of them wins their ticket.
