CNN

Not a surprise: 36% is basically what Bush has used to declare his 7-year overwhelming mandate to "govern." Considering how tightly the die-hards have had shut their eyes and hold their breaths to believe in Bush/Cheney [The Boy Fool and His Handler], I think it's more of a statement that 4% actually started to question him.

The amazing thing is that when a Democratic President screws up, most Democrats–even most on the left–will recognize it. When a Republican President screws up, the right wing will NEVER admit it. I cannot imagine how exasperating it must be to be a moderate (reasonable and responsible) Republican.

If you were to review the last 7 years and take out the personalities of Bush and Cheney and the party affiliation, most Americans would be appalled by this Administration. If Bush were a Democrat [Cheney couldn't be], imagine the personal insults that Rush and O'Reilly & Fox would throw at him. If Bush were a Democrat, do you think conservatives would stay quiet in light of his policies? Defense conservatives should be outraged (as many retired military leaders are). Fiscal conservatives should be appalled. Constitutional conservatives should be preparing impeachment articles. They would be if Bush were a Democrat.

I think we have seen how much real principle there is behind the high-minded talk of most conservatives.

I do agree bush WILL be remembered. I think history will remember him as a rather poor president,who got the united states into a very ugly war. I think however that will be the first paragraph in the history book. What he will most likely be remembered mostly for,is expanding the powers of the executive branch,or perhaps when the dust settles,affirming their limits.

At the end of the day,while the war is terrible,in 100 years,it will be a minor event in the history books. It will be remembered as the time we traded one problem,a ruthless dictator,for another,a recreation of the lawless terrorist factory that we had just gotten rid of in Afghanistan.
Iraq is a mess and its not getting any better. I expect sometime in the next year,the administration will declare victory. They will hand over control to the Iraqis and then withdraw. It wouldn't surprise me to see it happen very close to the election. That way,republicans can point to it and say "look,we won,vote for us". The government doesn't have to last for long,just long enough for the election. Afterwards,either the Republicans can blame the Democrats for the failure (hey,it didn't fail on the Republicans watch,it happened,in February of 2009,the Dems must have caused it) If a Republican wins,he can either blame Bush,or blame the democrats for "cutting and running". Just look at your history books,remember vietnamization. How long did that last?

Greg, Phoenix:

And there is NO doubt that what is truly best for America is a safe and secure, democratically governed Iraq.

What does Iraq have to do with the US? It's not like Iraq has ever had the means to harm the 50 states.

What is truly best for America is a return to the Constitution.

NOONE would dispute the fact that if we were to leave Iraq now, the entire region would go up in flames and we would face many more terrorist attacks here on US soil.

I would. As would many others.

I've never heard the "many more terrorist attacks" part though. Except maybe from the President. I'd love to see someone explain exactly how we'd suffer "many more terrorist attacks."

Why hasn't anyone taken action, legally, against the Republican Crime Syndicate?

For the same reason people fear the mob, gangs, or any grouyp of people like that.

As much as I despise this administration, I genuinely fear what its supporters would do if action were taken. History is repleat with the outcomes of angry, ignorant people moving as one.

I just hope we survive until we can get someone in the White House with even a little intellectual ability.

Taking action against George would set loose a pack of rabid dogs. I have no desire ot live in the police state they would create, or finish creating, since he has already started.

Doubt me? Read this blog.

Everyone keeps calling them (Republicans) Kool Aide Drinkers. The biggest problem I see is that they ARENT drinking that special Kool Aide!! We really do need to colonize a country so that we can send all of those hate filled Bible banging hypocrites there to form their version of the Great Society. They can take Georgie and Dickie to lead them. They love 'em so much, thay can have 'em!!

To D.H. & Bill who objected to my post:

I apologize for questioning your loyalty. You’re right. I went too far. You are entitled to your positions.

With that said, I still don’t understand how you, as loyal Americans, can defend this administration.

Please explain.

Yeah right Greg and be sure your the first to land on the steps of the white house to lay the first bouquet of flowers in Congratulatory Respect
for Good Ol Georgie!
But dont' be surprised when they wilt and wither just like his recent ratings will when the Republicans wake up and realize their change of heart on George DUBYAH will put them in the cellar with the rest of the REPUBS.
An Idiot is an Idiot regardless of who stands behind or beside him!

"That’s the core value of the true christianity: sacrifice." - Posted By Dan, Mountain View, CA

You're right, Dan. There have been a lot of Christian mothers, fathers, sons and daughters who have sacrificed as a result of Bush's policies. Please tell me what Bush himself has sacrificed.

i have never known a more honorable more respectable president than gw bush! i am already the proud owner of the talking gw bush doll in navy flight suit. you know, the one he wore when he took the controls of the jet that overflew the uss a. lincoln, and then landed on the carrier to anounce victory in iraq 2003. let me tell you, i take so much pride in this doll, that i have decided to buy another one, especially since his poll numbers have now increased! please everyone, show your absolute and blind patriotism and buy one of these dolls! you won't be dissapointed~~

Michael from Atlanta, my 67 year old mother has worked ALL OF HER LIFE, she is EDUCATED, but had to retire early to prevent my nephew from entering foster care, because of my careless brother. She now has no healthcare, and the woman deserves better. Is Healthcare a privilege, or a right? If you say that a millionaire should have better healthcare, then I guess it's a privilege...if you say a $40,000 bricklayer should have equal access, then it's a RIGHT...You disgust me with your dismissal of Americans who are good, Christian people as ignorant, poor, slovenly.
And, "Chip" in Celina, generally speaking, you need to understand what "tolerance" refers to. IF you think picking on people in the name of religion should be allowed, then you certainly should support picking on people BECAUSE of their religion.

jus sayin

To the "tolerant" liberals in this discussion don't hate on my religon(baptist) It may be constitutionial
to say it but i also can say your an idiot.

PresidentBush has done well on every issue but four key things which is why im not in the 36%:
1. Not strong enough on illegals
2. More concered with big buisness than the consumer
3. getting involed int the civil war
( which as a supporter of the troops i hope the surge works )
4. Spending more money than a liberal would while the deficit is almost 9 trillion ( but as a percent it is going
down )
Another than not enforcing conservative liberitarian values to the degree I would hes done great with growing the economy, helping limit abortions, lowering( but not enough on the middle) taxes, amoung other small things. I think the reason he messed up with Katrina was he was afraid to do something follish.

For J. Osborne
No one has forgotten 9/11. Those moments are printed forever on the hearts, minds and spirits of this country.
But this administration has used 9/11 to keep us in fear while doing nothing to make us safer. Katrina highlighted the shortcomings of FEMA and Homeland Security. Our ports are still screening less than 10% of incoming cargo. Have you traveled by train recently? Did you notice any security?
As for invading Iraq – 19 of 20 hijackers came from Saudi Arabia. What sanctions have we taken in dealing with them?

am i the only sane one here that cant help but notice these "statements" that the conservatives make on here?

they are always, always so childlike and simple. like he's one of the greatest presidents, hes doing a good job, hes taking the fight to our enemies, we havent been attacked since 9/11, you will be dissatified with hilliary too, the troops want to stay and finish the job.
just catch phrases with absolutlely no facts, reality, or any form of arguement of why any of its true. its just simply parroting what they have been told.

dont take me the wrong way. i love it, dont stop..... it makes me chuckle and wonder about the mind that could actually believe it.

i also like thinking about how big of a lie they could tell before it would take you followers to finally get it. is there any limit? if there is we must be close, arent we?

i understand completly, if my arguements are all recycled, many times debunked right wing propaganda
i would shy away from a rational adult discussion of the issues at hand.....
which coincidently they are all ass backwards on, as the adults here already know...

or how big of a failure?

to be a 26 percent right winger today you have to suspend reality and ignore all but rush, hannity, and the rest of ministry of fox news.

iraq, definately directly involved with 9/11 definately had stockpiles of wmd 12 miles north of tikrit....cake walk, greeted as liberators, mission accomplished
dead ender insurgents, turning the corner, torture ok, no civil war,just sectarian violence.the surge is working and on and on and on. ad infinium

not one of them will rationally argue one point, just watch

When the reality of the threat faced by the world is understood, the rehabilitation of George W Bush's presidency will be similar to that of Harry Truman, a president whose popular support was more than 10% lower than GW's during the final two years of his term but who is now considered one of the finest ever presidents. It'll take 20 years, of course, and require those on the left currently asleep at the wheel to understand what's going on around them but it will happen.

Nancy and Harry sure wish they had that kind of support..

CNN adds some really stupid items to this ticker, but this might be the worst. These numbers are nearly meaningless and if you count the margin of error in both polls, the approval rating has not even changed. In the first poll, he was somewhere between 29 and 35%, now he's between 33 and 39%. For all practical purposes, its the same. If you're Bush, you must be happy that you don't need a majority to do anything around here....

This whole thing makes me laugh. So bush gained a few points... when would anybody in their right mind consider 36% of ANYTHING to be Good?!?!

36% is dismal... just like the accomplishments of this admin.

Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both.

Benjamin Franklin

President Bush is doing a good job and I will always support him and our troops. We say we have not forgotten 9/11 but the way some act and the things they say-I beleive some have
forgetten!!

DON: I cannot even find the words to express anything about your comments and my brain and my energy level say, "please don't waste our time" so....
RICHARD: you are showing just what you must have added to your Koolaide with that crazy hit about Baptist???? What does that mean and what does it have to do with Bush/Cheny. I am a Baptist and I never voted for Bush/Cheny so what is up with what you said???? Obviously you are a Bush/Cheny lover and a disbliever in anything. As a 63 year old Baptist I say to you, GOD BLESS YOU!!

President Bush is going to be remembered as one of the greatest presidents in the history of this country when all is set and done. As a veteran of this nation's great military, and deployed several times, i applaud the president for what he has done.
Is funny that most people who hate the president because of the Iraq invasion are all, or mostly, civilians who have not served a day!! They all cry about "bing home the troops", when in reality the troops want to stay in Iraq and finish the job. I am not a republican nor democrat, but this president is taking the fight to the enemy.

OOps bad news for the woefully pessamistic Eyeores of the US. Its much more fun to tear down the US from the inside out. Remember a time that we stood united. The 66% that continure to tear down our great country will bear the wrath of the negative through the next adminstrations. You'll be dissatisfied with Hillary too and then blame her that your car didn't start this morning, the big bad Hurricane Katrina, or the new weather pattern. Didn't rain on Jul 22 before?? Task some individual responsiblity and channel some of your time into improving the climate so Hillary can ride a wave up.

For the most part, these comments are foolish if not ignorant.

Patrick, David and Richard for you to say "UnAmerican, "nutty to be Baptist" "and rose colored glasses" is despicable. They are yet another example of our deteriorating society, the lack of reason and civility and the politics of personal destruction.

You should be ashamed

A litte contribution from outside the US: Being obviously neither a Dem nor a Rep, I've noted while travelling around that the perspective of non-Americans of the US has become sharply more negative under Bush. I often think that supporters of the current administration underestimate the extent of this turnaround. Though excellent poetry, literature, physics, sociology, etc, etc, continue to be produced, continually – some of the best in the world, in breadth and depth – the administration makes it difficult for people to see and salute. Gary.

No offense, Lance, but I think it's time to head back out to the waves.

Surf's up, dude!

Oh yessss, I think his ignorant stubbornness, refusal to cooperate with our checks and balances, continuing this war of choice, and his blitheringly illiterate pronouncements certainly warrant a few point bump in his ratings 'among his own party'. Don't look for it anywhere else.

Even rubber balls bounce when they hit bottom. This one had a little bounce, lets see where the next bottom lies.

Merely because the friends of people say good things about the dead at funerals doesn’t mean that these speeches will last into the future. The majority of historians will remember Bush as a Constitutional Criminal. The facts continue while the emotions fade. Even serial killers in jail have some friends, pen pals and supporters. Many inmates get married!

What Will They Think of Next?
or Dick Cheney's Pacemaker needs batteries, not included.

Libby? signing statements, habius corpus, nukes in North Korea, torture, fear, clean air? Blackwater dirty, every child left behind. Ducttape your windows, Osama boo, Wolfowitz through. 9 fired attorneys, 1 mired attorney general. Special prosecutor? dis-union, dissolution, discontent. voter fraud? election fraud. no blacks allowed. Tim Griffen resigned, caging lists, Greg Palast, missing emails no longer. Orange alert, terror dry runs, 911 in Iraq, Iraq caused 911, huh?
Impeach them, Impeach them, Impeach them. Do not wait, have mercy, take time, listen, look around, Impeach them, Impeach them. Stop, what’s that sound?

It’s democracy, run aground.

The Hole Truth

The man keeps digging but doesn't see, y'know that's just the thing that worries me.

Gonzo won't go he's in the know. Monica Goodling, FBI Director even his pre-decessor, they say he lies, he stinks, attracts flies.

But you know, Gonzo won't go, he's in the know. He'll steal the show, smirk and jab, maybe do some more blow.

"Don't you see, if they get me, they'll leave nothing be! They'll poke and prod Cheney and Bush will nod, Karl Rove will plant no more sods."

Yes, it is just that lame. Don't you dare say they're all the same, Gonzo isn't to blame. Maybe he's low man on the totem pole, firewall, wall flower at the ball, but don't worry, he's not that small.

We see you Bush and it's time to fall.

Stop, look, what's that sound?

It's democracy run aground.

Every body look what's going down, Alberto Gonzalez stole the town.

King George won't take off his crown.

It's not over it's just the start, soon ol' George won't need wiretaps to hear himself fart.

Impeach the bums they deserve the heat, Gonzo is only the first tasty treat.

Every body stop, look around, What's that sound?

Look everybody, people are talking can it be, democracy has been found?

Only 64% unfavorable, yippee! Thank goodness they finally decided to call registered republicans THIS time. Hilarious.

"Will be remembered as one of America's greatest Presidents"????

Hey Don, I have some oceanfront property here in CO to sell you. Interested?

Not only have a few polls shown a positive increase in poll numbers for Bush, Bush has rated higher than the "new" Congress for quite some time now. Maybe that should tell you something.

patrick remember what don said:

he will be remembered as one of america's greatest presidents! remember iraq was not a war of choice, we were forced to invade!

After seeing the Democratic debates, Americans are seeing what fools are running for president. President Bush doesn't look so bad after all.

Amen to Don in Davenport!

President Bush has the COURAGE to stand up and do what he believes is right. He definitely will be treated kindly when history judges him, unless all of the historians are liberal.

To David in Salinas,

Typical liberal hate speech. Question the loyalty of those who disagree with you, smart David, very smart. I'm a loyal American who happens to support our president. Yes, I said OUR president. He represents you also, whether you like it or not.

Unlike you though David, I refuse to question your loyalty to this country because of your views.

Dear Don, Davenport FL: do yourself a favor and go hurl yourself off a bridge to relieve your misery I.e., supporting Bush "Will be remembered in history as one of America’s greatest Presidents"–you've GOT TO BE KIDDING!! Are you ok?!? May God bless your poor soul, I feel sorry for you! I know you're just trying to "stir up the hornet's nest" with your insane statement. Nice try fella.

For all the Republicans who are coming back to their senses and supporting our President: Welcome back!

Jeb Bush 2008
Let the dynasty continue!!

hey righty, since you didnt have the cajones to answer me on the other thread (bush/bonds) ill come over here and show up another aspect of your ignorance for all of us to see.....

do you know what random means?
as in a random survey call?

o.k. listen carefully...try real hard to concentrate and more importantly comprehend!

random means you dont know who you are calling.....could be 100% democrats or it could be 100% republicans you dont know.....thats where the random part comes in.

if you figure out who you are calling first and you know what thier answer is going be before you ask it it takes the random part out of it.

funny that republicans love surveys as long as they say reinforce thier skewed point of view....then when reality creeps in and the right-wing house of cards starts to collapse, suddenly they have no use for surveys or they are just plain wrong or whatever the deflection du jour is that day.

just so happens that the republicans havent been on the majority side of a survey in three years.

maybe its the runaway train of republican failure that they placed on the tracks and are still to stupid or bullheaded to derail.

It probably has more to do with Bush keeping a low profile and not putting his foot in his mouth.

As soon as he starts talking again about immigration or irak,
his popularity will fall back down again.

The problem with the liberals is that you are always looking to point the finger and blame someone...never taking responsibility for your own problems. You elected a Democratic House and Senate and they have done nothing except raise the minimum wage, which is a ridiculous issue because most employers already pay way above the new minimum. We're still in Iraq because Pelosi-Reid can't get their own party to support a surrender bill without bribing them with pork spending. Dems need to wake up and realize that their party is weak on defense, weak on business, and weak on ideas. That's why you have spent way too much time, effort, and tax dollars launching mindless investigations of Bush's administration. People are sick of the partisan BS, which the Dems promised to end if they were elected...HA! Fat Chance! That's why the Dems have an even LOWER approval rating that Bush. Read the above posts and see for yourself how idiotic your party is. You will never win the White House with the candidates you have out there....sorry...so get used to another Republican president.

"Take a room full of people and 1/3 are gullible. To have any approval points after these debacles is really amazing maybe it represents super rich CEO’s that are pillaging the country."

Gullible is swallowing Michael Moore's propoganda hook, line & sinker. Gullible is adopting the paranoid view that Bush/Cheney planned 9/11. Gullible is regurgitating the democratic spin that Bush/Cheney are subverting the constitution (if so – why hasn't anyone charged the President or VP in a court of law?)

Rantings of sore losers (2000, 2004) that are calling Bush to be impeached as retribution for Clinton's impeachment.

Our country is LUCKY to have a President who is more focused on fighting terrorism ~ keeping this country safe than his own political approval ratings.

Clinton didn't fight terrorism but he was able to keep his approval numbers higher than Bush. He should be proud!

Righty Tighty:

http://www.pollingreport.com/BushJob1.htm

Bush is at 32% approval in the latest Fox News poll.

What...... you kool-aid drinkers don't even believe your own propaganda ministry anymore?....those lefties at Fox just can't be believed.

I guess you're waiting for the Republican National Committee poll taken from a random sample at Crawford Texas.

Bush must remember that he's not paranoid....the whole world really does hate him.

Boy...the hippies are out in force today. Yep, Bush-Cheney were responsible for 9/11 so they could loot Iraq's oil and sell it cheaply to "Big Oil". They're also focused on killing the poor which is why they haven't done anything with Katrina. Plus, Republican Fat Cats are focused on figuring out ways to line our...opps I mean their...pockets. By the way hippies...why don't you ask your patron saint Hillary why she kisses the butt of every financial house CEO...you know, those "Fat Cats" you so despise. Oh, and your boy JOhn Edwards, why not ask him how his 17 mil in a hedge fund that does offshore banking in the Caymans jibes with his "Two Americas" rap. Maybe later huh?

When you start out a presidency with 49% of Americans being bitter, angry and down right partisan it is no surprise whatsoever that one's approval rating is not off the charts after 4 years of military conflict. Particularly when you have a media bent on painting the military action as an utter disaster everytime a bomb goes off in the streets.

Fortunately for all of us, the majority of Americans don't let their blind partisan hatred get in the way of what is truly best for America. And there is NO doubt that what is truly best for America is a safe and secure, democratically governed Iraq. NOONE would dispute the fact that if we were to leave Iraq now, the entire region would go up in flames and we would face many more terrorist attacks here on US soil.

It is hard for the unbiased to not let the Democratic politicians and various liberal media outlets get to them after 4 years of ramming it down their throats that everything we do is wrong. However, what these same Americans respond to is success and we are now beginning to see real success with this battle for democracy in Iraq.

No terrorist attacks on US soil since 9/11.

A healthy economy with great employment numbers.

These are the things that truly matter to Americans and these are the reasons that many Americans are finally waking up to realize that Bush is doing a very good job running this country.

By the way, I am an independent through and through so I guess CNN Polling Director Keating Holland doesn't really have all figured out after all.

I like President Bush from the early beginning despite the mass media hatred and pressure. To be honest with you folks, the main problem is with our media which are not fair in reporting the news. All the media (except Fox News which is fair) are pro to the left (you might agree with me). Mostly only the bads about the president that they write and broadcast (especially before the 2006 election). Well, nothing much that I can say except he is truly a God send president. God send means may not be popular (as Jesus was when He was on earth). But you will see his fruits 10, 20 or 100 years later, not now. That's the core value of the true christianity: sacrifice.

I'm amazed that 1/3 of this country still supports this farce of a president and this corrupt administration. Were I a Republican (which I most thankfully am not!) I would not want to have any association with a group so lacking in any moral values. At some point you have to wake up and smell the coffee and realize continuing to support this scum cheapens everything the Republicans says they stand for.

The left wing media constantly disapproves of Bush, as far as people being ignorant I don't think so Jeff Houston, the democrats putting a national health care system in place would be ignorant. Health care would suck, ignorants among people who dont have jobs and people on welfare who voted for kerry in 04, yeah you could say 1/3 of Americans are ignorant.
This is the real world

True leaders are not shaken by opinions and polls. Pres. Bush has stuck to his guns and in the long run, we will all see that it was the right thing to do. In this age of fast food, alot of people need to learn "Patience". Bravo George!

Its funny, a very close friend of mine is in that top 2% that is always mentioned. She can't stand Bush or this administration. She actually works in DC not far from the white house, knows all the movers and shakers and says they ALL despise him. I'm thinking maybe its the people (like a few that I work with) that still believe that Iraq was responsible for 911 that there WERE weapons of mass destruction found and that the baby jesus is guiding W. Hard to stomach that they represent 36% of the population though. Sheesh.

How delusional can someone be to approve of this President?

Keep drinkin' that Kool-aid.

"But, guess you are nutty enough to be a Baptist you are the kind that still support Bush/Chaney"

This comment probably comes from a 'progressive' that espouses the concept of 'tolerance'. BTW, it's Cheney, not Chaney. Unless you refer to Lon.

What a bigotted comment.

If we the people recall, in addition to the controversy of Weapons of Mass Destruction falsely reported by the Bush camp, he also promised we only were to depose Saddam, then withdrawl our troops so IRAQ could re-establish a reasonable status-quo of their own accord. His lies & potential for profit being a Oil Magnate with financial interests in the Military Industrial Complex (Cheney as well) raises even more questions to his delibrate intent. (26,000 casulties later)

The reason that the Republicans are "coming back" to Bush is that they have seen the pathetic ticket that they have in their present candidates.

Judging by the comments above, Bush's favorability is closer to 33%.

Chevron, Total sign Iraq oil contract for Majnoon Field (Dow Jones Newswire) 08 Aug 2007 Oil giants Total SA and Chevron Corp. have signed a services agreement that would lead to the two jointly exploring and developing hydrocarbons from one of Iraq's biggest oil fields once the country gets an oil law in place [!] and security on the ground improves, people familiar with the deal say. The two companies signed an agreement last year and are currently assessing above-ground conditions around Majnoon, Iraq's fourth biggest oil field, which sits near the border with Iran, and at least one other field in the south of Iraq, to see what development work is required, the people told Dow Jones Newswires.

Iraq oil minister bans unions, discussions on US-backed oil law 05 Aug 2007 Iraq's energy ministry is using a Saddam-era decree to crack down on trade unions and stifle dissent against foreign exploitation of the country's vast oil reserves, the Basra-based oil workers' union claims. Hassan Juma'a, the union's leader, has been at the forefront of a public campaign against the signing of a controversial new oil law – demanded by Washington – that would lead to long-term profit-sharing contracts being signed with multinational oil giants. But Hussein Shahrastani, Iraq's oil minister, has now issued a directive banning unions from participating in any official discussions about the new law, 'since these unions have no legal status to work within the state sector'.

Poll: Iraqis Oppose Oil Privatization (OneWorld) 08 Aug 2007 A new public opinion poll has found nearly two thirds of Iraqis oppose plans to open the country's oilfields to foreign companies. The poll found a majority of every Iraqi ethnic and religious group believe their oil should remain nationalized. Some 66 percent of Shi'ites and 62 percent of Sunnis support government control of the oil sector, along with 52 percent of Kurds.

911 was an inside job, and the same people that instill fear in the American public and deteriorate the Constitution and Bill of Rights are the same ones that are telling us that we are going to have another 9112B, and then we will end up invading Iran for their oil, then Venezuela, etc.
http://www.newamericancentury.org

What improvement? The polls have an error of margin of +/-3%. There is no change. If Bush could manage a 39% rating, that would be a change.

Talk about drinking the KoolAid! But, guess you are nutty enough to be a Baptist you are the kind that still support Bush/Chaney

Come on, people... Wake up and smell the incompetence.

I don’t mind that we have ideological differences. That’s what makes this a great country.
But at some point we have to put our differences aside and face facts:

This rash and foolish administration has ignored our citizen’s desperation (40 million uninsured, Katrina victims still suffering), mortgaged our children’s future (a trillion dollars in debt for a useless war) , trampled our liberties (warrantless wiretaps, secret prisons), destroyed our country’s reputation (preemptive attacks, torture, Abu Ghraib), and totally bungled the war on terror (100,000 lost AK47s, bin Laden still taunting us). Bush isn’t a conservative. He’s a damned fool.

True patriots care more about America’s future than they do about tax cuts, cowboy posturing and oil company profits. If you support this president you may be a loyal Republican... but you aren’t a loyal American.

There is still nothing "positive" to say about President Bush. Its just that the lemmings are rushing more rapidly to the sea.

Will be remembered in history as one of America's greatest Presidents.

Ps: I'm not blind, ignorant nor dangerous either!

Your comment on the Republicans "coming home" just emphasizes how pathetic the Republicans are. Perhaps the ill-conceived twinking of the tax code for Corporate Taxes has something to do with it.

Just a law of numbers really. Take a room full of people and 1/3 are gullible. To have any approval points after these debacles is really amazing maybe it represents super rich CEO's that are pillaging the country.

"And I bet it really pained them to report something positive about the President!"

Well if you call a failed policy and 700 billion wasted and counting... plus three trillion added to the debt... over 3,600 dead something positive then you must really see through rose colored glasses.

And I bet it really pained them to report something positive about the President!

Or just perhaps, Opinion Research Corporation decided to actually call registered Republicans this time. They're unscientific research techniques are well documented.

Frightening. 36% of the people walking down the street are ignorant, blind, and down right dangerous in their support of this fool. Recall that I said he would come back to wreak more havoc than we thought possible. Even for George. You read it here first.
