I know, I know the you guys don't beleive in polls right? Plus you know that Bush will be seen by historians as the greatest president in history, right?
I guess I'd say that too if I had to stand by this guy. Maybe it would be easier for ya if you just admitted what most people have already figured out: This Bush fella SUCKS ASS!!

Disfavor for Bush Hits Rare Heights
The latest Washington Post-ABC News survey shows that 65 percent of Americans disapprove of Bush's job performance, matching his all-time low. In polls conducted by The Post or Gallup going back to 1938, only once has a president exceeded that level of public animosity -- and that was Richard M. Nixon, who hit 66 percent four days before he resigned.

Actually the latest Rasmussen poll, July 20-22, has President's favorability at 38 % and disfavor at 60%. Media polls are notorious for skewing the results in the direction they (media) wants by oversampling Democrats. In fact, they always do this - it is entirely predictable. Bush has actually rebounded somewhat since the national debate has gotten away from immigration, where Bush's policy differs markedly from the Republican base, to the war, where Bush is in tune with the base.
The Rassmusen poll has a much better track record than the media-sponsored polls.
Media polls are "notorious" for skewering the results in Dems direction, eh? That must be the "liberal media", again, right? Please show source material validating your claim.
You use this "supposed" fact to distract away from the point, and then try to soften the blow with a still lousy poll, but then go back to skewering polls in general, thereby attempting to invalidate the original thread by saying ALL media sponsored polls are bogus.
You are Karl Rove, right?
The highest unfavorable rating for any President is earned by Richard Nixon. Sixty percent (60%) of Americans have an unfavorable opinion of the only President to resign from office. Thirty-two percent (32%) have a favorable opinion of the man who famously went to China. Close on Nixon’s heels for most unpopular is the current President, George W. Bush. Fifty-nine percent (59%) have an unfavorable opinion of him.

it will vindicate Bush when it finally comes to light that he was never anything more than a front man; a puppet; a mere playing piece from the back row on the world chessboard of backroom manipulation. In the long run, George W Bush will prove to have been the scapegoat for the machinations of those who truly control the Power.
Bill, I know you disagree with me, but honestly, for me, it's the only way I can wrap my head around the idea of a buffoon of his magnitude actually directing the show. The Great Decider; my ass.
You'll notice I used the word partially.
That was not an accident.
......$446 billion war cost and still counting. All this for a war that was unnecessary.

Although Lincolns favorability rating towards the end of the Civil war was lower than Nixons at the lowest History showed us that Lincoln did the right thing.... And by the way Lincoln was called a buffoon and much worse...Civil War newspapers online for any that have the guts for the truth..
You've posted a lot of dumb stuff here but this might be the dumbest. Comparing the Civil War with Bush's invasion of Iraq -- you can't really be serious.
I was comparing Lincolns popularity "during" the civil War to President Bush's popularity now. Perhaps you should work for the NY Times if you are going to twist peoples statements around.
You are talking out of your ass again I am afraid.
before this is ANYTHING LIKE OVER.
As to the necessity, next time maybe we'll get the weapons inspectors back instead of getting our sausage sucked by interns.
. . . as Republican presidential candidates look like they're going to need some help long before November 2008.
I noticed that there has been a concerted effort by the concerted effort to put on a wider grin and bear it more. The article below being an example.
The important thing is not whether Bush is going to look better in fifty years, it's whether making people think that will make Republicans look better now.
Frankly, I'm skeptical it will help. But helium in the head and a grin on the face goes very far with conservatives these days.
And look at all the statues of Lincoln . I reckon we won't know until history proves President Bush right ...
Like I said, I am affraid you are once again talking out of your ass. Maybe you can site the source of this "favorability poll" for Lincoln? Who took the poll? How did they take it? What was the sample? How was the question phrased? Oh, I forgot, you don't deal in facts...sorry, my bad...
But good luck to ya. I guess I'd be grasping at straws too if I was so tied to this complete and total failure of a president.
I learned of hatred against Lincoln from reading Civil War newspapers not from my teachers. The same newspapers I read from Civil War era are available to you if you can spell Google ,Lincoln, and buffoon. I am not saying Lincoln did wrong .. I am saying Lincoln did what had to be done to save the Union.. Habeus corpus and Lincoln try googling that one ..You guys laugh at truths that you do not want to admit.
Yeah, "Dream on rightwinger" is not an arguement.
lol
You honestly want us to believe Bush is as great as Lincoln?
You want me to argue with that?
I am sorry, that is truly a very good joke. Thanks for the levity.
YOU ARE BRAINWASHED!

"You honestly want us to believe Bush is as great as Lincoln?"
I'm sure he never made that claim. It's a common debating ploy you are using.
-- Modified on 7/27/2007 7:24:22 PM
He has brought up Lincoln as the example of why Bush will be seen as one of the greatest Presidents ever -- what the hell does he (and you) mean then? He is making a clear comparison.
Now you are starting to sound like Alberto Gonzales with this wormy argument.
-- Modified on 7/27/2007 9:33:32 PM
Just as Lincoln saved the country so has President Bush.
So now Bush has SAVED the nation! Good one! When did he do that? After he just about destroyed it?
When in doubt just keep making up new fantasies, right Quad?
-- Modified on 7/28/2007 10:10:01 AM
I don't need to make his point for him. He did a fine job.
I was just pointing out a common technique here of twisting the subject and then attempting to debate a non issue.
when you have run out of cogent things to say.
You either dismiss us or call us worms.
Apparently you are the expert.
Maybe your Bush/Lincoln comparison actually is a joke.
Nah, couldn't be, right RU?
They are a lot like children using name calling when beat... Hopefully when they grow up they will become Republicans
