Polls show BUSH is out to Lunch

from JoeUser Forums
The latest polls show the following support for the policies of George W. Bush:

Support for his Iraq Policy 42% of Americans

Support for his Social Security policy 35% of Americans

Maybe it's time for George to resign and give the job to his wife Laura

Hey Col Gene I just did a poll here at my office of 25 people and Bush got a 92% rating! 23 out of 25. The other two would not comment. SO theres your poll.

See Polls have many flaws, sampling base, bias wording of the questions, geographical limitations etc etc etc...

Fact is hes in, he in for a few more years so live with it, deal with it and get over the psycological trama of losing the election. Buck up unhappy camper and better luck next election. Maybe if you spent all this energy you waste here on positive things, you would be a much happier person.

I think his legacy of lies and catastophic damage done to the credibility of the US throughout the world will overshadow his presidency.

So i'm gonna sit back and let history do the job on dubya. A low effort political workout if there ever was one!

COL. Stay at em!

Americans would still elect Bush.


Yeah and a large percentage of Americans also think Saddam Hussein helped with 9/11 or that the hijackers (although most are confirmed as being Saudi) were Iraqi's. Here is the link to that story... Link

the one thing all you Bushies forget is the the economy, interest rates, the price of gas, the deficit, the trade problems, the way the war in Iraq is going, border security are all going to hell in a handbag under George W. Bush. That's why the polls are running against Bush because he has done nothing to fix any of the problems that face this country. He stays the course when it is going in the wrong direction.

Turning countries against us and polarizing this country are George W. Bush specialties. He gets an A+ on these two!

He would be far more effective if he used truths instead of made-up crap.

Bush got reelected because the majority of Americans do agree with him. You read into polls too much that are usually slanted, and are no real indication of what people want.


I don't believe that to be true at all. EVERY individual that I knew personally who voted for Bush did so NOT because they supported Bush but because they LOATHED Kerry.

There's a big difference between voting for someone as a "lesser of two evils" and supporting them.

(for the record...I voted Badnarik).

The sad thing is, while I dislike the vast majority of Bush's policies, I will continue to stand behind him on the Social Security issue. The Democrats have shown their ugly side here; a close study of their platform shows NO proposal for social security reform (despite the fact that they harped on the issue during the Clinton presidency).

My prediction for the Democrats is their continued steady decline. They have shown themselves to be continually disconnected with the American community, they support fringe groups at the expense of party moderates, and they refuse to listen to any suggestion of reform. They simply attack with numbers that we all know can be manipulated to favor the position of the polling agency.

This is why I don't even vote. Send a message to the politicians that we're fed up.

While I understand this sentiment, unfortunately politicians shrug it off as apathy. So it winds up sending a far different message than intended.

Intentionally? Maybe they're apathetic.

---The price of gas...there is only so little a president can do, they can try...but thats pretty much it...the war in iraq was going to go to hell anyway,the only people that could actually believe that everything was just going to fall into place are idiots...and as for the border...have you lived by the border...its been a problem since the US gained control of that region...and as for the deficit, did clinton do anything, as for that has anyone actually done much with the deficit...hmmm? trade problems? the economy is going through a normal phase...if you look at economics and history...the US's economy does it regularly...

In looking at the history of this country we have never had so many huge problem that face us all at the same time. A national debt approaching $8 trillion; annual trade deficits nearing 700 billion a year; spending 25% more then we collect in taxes; entire industries disappearing such as steel, electronics, clothing; staggering unfunded liabilities such as prescription drug plan that begins next year with no funding, trillions in unfunded liabilities in Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid; 45 million Americans with no health coverage. Yes this country is big and powerful and has faced huge problems in the past, but the confluence of all these major issues is unprecedented.

Clinton saw the federal budget hit a record surplus, Bush Jr. oversaw the budget hit a record deficit. Here is a link so you can see the facts... Link

But, we were going to end up having to deal with these problems,right?
Reply #46 from JoeUser Forums Top
Every one of these issues: the federal deficit and resultant increase in the national debt and the interest it will mandate; the loss of jobs and trade deficit; the funding of the prescription drug plan; the disastrous impact the Iraq war has had our military; the refusal to protect our borders; no solution to our energy dependence and high gasoline prices; the impending problem to fund Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. All of these issues and others will not go away because they are not being resolved by the Bush policies. Each day they become more difficult and more expensive. Making excuses for the ineffective way in which George W. Bush has dealt with every one of these issues is not going to make the pain and suffering any better when the day of reckoning comes and the American people are forced to find solutions to issues that he has ignored or made significantly worse.

I'm not making excuses, i'm just trying to get across that no matter what...these problems [iraq war and certain things excluded] where going to occur,whether we had a republican or democrat in office as president...so quit blaming bush...yes i agree something needs to be done...but there's only so much one person can try and do...i haven't heard the other side of the aisle quipp up with any ideas...all its been is comments against his_____ [insert whatever] Personally in the iraq war...yes he made mistake with the WMD [unless you consider him saying that they're were one of many reasons,or Hussein and the few chemical,etc.. weapons found to be "WMD" ], and i would be happy if he stepped up and said, "Ya Know, I was wrong in believing the intell that was given me on iraqs supposed WMD's. I apologize." [or whatever,just to admit he was incorrect]
