Bush Approval Falls to 33%, Congress Earns Rare Praise
| quote: |
Bush's overall approval measure stands at 33%, the lowest rating of his presidency. Bush's job performance mark is now about the same as the ratings for Democratic and Republican congressional leaders (34% and 32%, respectively), which showed no improvement in spite of public approval of the congressional response to the ports deal.

It's funny how in a couple of years I went from being an "unpatriotic fringe loony" for opposing the Iraq War (among other things) to being proved right.
No scratch that, it's just sad. |

It's kind of sad that their approval rates are so low, yet the same old faces keep appearing in D.C. and little of worth gets done.
I know I shouldn't be posting here, but I just. can't. help it. |

All congress does is bicker and argue. Democrats blame republicans and republicans blame democrats. We need another henry clay to bring them all together.

Bush & Cheney smeared their own reputation. I really dont like liars whether in my own personal life or running the country. Appearently finally most Americans are waking up to the facts.
The thing that pisses me off over the Iraq war was all the deliberate lies at the beginning, and complete lack of long term planning in order to sell the war. If Bush & Cheney actually fought in Vietnam, unlike Kerry whose military record they cowardly smeared, then may'be they would realize that war is real & not just some multi trillion dollar video game. The facts speak for themselves,; people are dying over there & will likely be for the next 25 years. I would bet the military voters turn on the Republican party before November, especially with most of the war veterans running for congress, running as Democrats.
As for Bush, he is dangerous. Before his first election, I was really put off by the fact that he was a wealthy elite trying to portray himself as an honest down on the ranch American, and by the fact that he pretty much ed up every business venture he did before he was President. Also does anyone seriously expect Bush to lower oil & gas prices. Asing Bush to police the oil industry is like having a Rottweiler watch your Poodle. |

Honestly, I don't approve of most of the DC Democrats either.
I think they are a bunch of spineless losers except for a few of them. |

prove that he lied. if you can't then shut up. the military adore him (spouses. i can't speak for). the statement "and complete lack of long term planning in order to sell the war." makes no sense whatsoever.

wow. this statement just goes to show that moonbats either, one; have absorbed too much liberal propaganda actually do research on something they read on the intraweb, two; are just content in the own uninformed cozy society.
Bush cannot lower gas prices. this is known by most people so no, nobody "seriously cannot expect Bush to lower oil&gas prices".

what the hell does this mean?
George Bush is a failed Texas oil man. yes that is a correct statement. that would also be a correct statement for just about all Texas oil men in the 80's. i bet you didn't know that.
yes, Bush is a rich man. that is a true statement. if you were smart enough to buy into a baseball team in 1989 for $500,000 and sell them for $250,000,000 ten years later, that would be a true statement of you as well. |

I wasn't talking about the most recent administration, but rather the congress and people in Washington over my lifetime (roughly 6 presidential terms). Many senators/Congresspeople keep their jobs solely because of name recognition despite the fact that people constantly bitch about their effectiveness or lack thereof. Congressmen become senators, governors become congreesmen and all the while people complain about what they're doing or not doing while casting their vote blindly for their party or some other worthless reason. Some of this is undoubtedly party spew but 1/3rd approval ratings are hardly favorable in any circumstance. |
