Hey Craig, gonna post in the Obama/dentention thread?

No, I didn't think so. You're an idiot, a coward, and a hypocrite. Which is probably why you vote Democrat to begin with.

Real men vote third party.

Real men vote for candidates that have zero chance of winning, so they never need to stand up and defend their ideology! You're a real tough guy there, Boberfett.

There are only two types of people who vote third party in America. Those attempting to influence one of the two major parties through their vote, and morons. Anyone who understands how our electoral system works wouldn't vote for a third party candidate for any other reason and would save themselves the time and expense of going to the polls.

You make some good points.

But Was American politics setup to be a 2 party system ? I think not . Our forfathers seemed ressenabliy smart. Who would see the dangerers of a 2 party system . Fact is if ya researched Paine/Jackson both talked about it. As did many others . The eletorial votes is a fraud and Places to much power in highly populated areas. Which allows for to many reppresentives from same area putting p0rk in the Barrel as history clearly shows . Now the Two states that recieved the Most pork are broke so sad. What a waste of resources.

A free country would elect by popular vote . NOT this scam . Electorial BS. Treason I say. Thats why states should have much greater powers. Fed should go back to were we started. THAT the way it was meant to be . Everthing else is treason against what Paine put to pen .

That excuse doesn't work anymore, it's his country now. Bush had to combat 9/11 from an economic perspective as well everything else. The solution was simple - lower taxes. And look at the rebound that brought.

Obama is going in the wrong direction and the polls show it.

HOORAY!!!!! I hope he fails!!!!!!

Who's Obama going to blame if he gets re-elected? This guy is a huckster, and nothing more. He preyed on people's desperation, and they ate up the shit that came out of him at every speech he gave, squatting over the quivering mouths of his supporters.

The grace period is over and people cannot continue blaming Bush without appearing like political hacks with an axe to grind.

Is there a republican (above ground) that has higher ratings? Just asking.

I think pretty much all of them have higher ratings at this point.

No, we don't have a Republican president to compare our Democrat president to compare to. Now if you want to compare based on the opinions of the people who are represented by the individual, a whole lot of congressmen and women have higher ratings then Obama who, as president, gets to be judged by us all. As a Texan, I don't give a shit what someone in New York thinks about my elected representatives as they should not care what I think of theirs.

 

[Pens1566]

Everyone loves their rep, hates the rest. Should have stated "National" in original question. Carry on.

He's making tough decisions that are not all that popular, still given the choice I'd rather have him than any of the clowns that are the leaders of the Republican party and I'm sure most of America feels the same.

Economy Made Few Gains in Bush Years
Eight-Year Period Is Weakest in Decades

President Bush has presided over the weakest eight-year span for the U.S. economy in decades, according to an analysis of key data, and economists across the ideological spectrum increasingly view his two terms as a time of little progress on the nation's thorniest fiscal challenges.

The number of jobs in the nation increased by about 2 percent during Bush's tenure, the most tepid growth over any eight-year span since data collection began seven decades ago. Gross domestic product, a broad measure of economic output, grew at the slowest pace for a period of that length since the Truman administration. And Americans' incomes grew more slowly than in any presidency since the 1960s, other than that of Bush's father.

CBO Data Show Tax Cuts Have Played Much Larger Role than Domestic Spending Increases in Fueling the Deficit

The Administration has repeatedly defended its tax cuts as a needed stimulus during the recent economic downturn. But the downturn is behind us, and the cost of the tax cuts is scheduled to increase in the years ahead. Indeed, some of the tax cuts enacted in 2001 that benefit only high-income households have not even started to take effect yet. The repeal of the ?personal exemption phase-out? for high-income taxpayers, as well as repeal of the limitation on itemized deductions for high-income taxpayers, do not start to phase in until 2006 and do not take full effect until 2010. Estate tax repeal also does not take effect until 2010.

A growing number of studies from highly respected institutions and economists have concluded that the negative effect on long-term growth of the increased deficits that the tax cuts are generating is likely to cancel out ? and quite possibly to outweigh ? any positive effects on long-term growth from reductions in marginal tax rates and other tax incentives in the 2001 and 2003 tax-cut packages. Stated simply, the tax cuts are more likely to reduce long-term growth than to increase it.

Not that it matters to you ... but doesn't the truth sting just a bit ?

 

[Pens1566]

CBO is only credible when it goes against what Obama wants.

 

[TastesLikeChicken]

The only thing that these polls have ever demonstrated under any president is that American public opinion is fickle, they have short attention spans, and very little patience whatsoever.

The only thing they are good for is for one side of the political aisle to use a poll to flog the other side. Presidential approval polls bring out the absolute worst in partisans.

Tough decisions? Like wasting taxpayer money on cash for clunkers? Or bailing out the banks with the 350 billion he asked congress for? Or maybe that stimulus bill that got us to 9.5% unemployment....

Seems like a success to me

Or bailing out the banks with the 350 billion he asked congress for?

better to let them fail and worsen the crisis?

Or maybe that stimulus bill that got us to 9.5% unemployment....

As opposed to higher unemployment with out it? You hair on fire tree swinging wingnuts would criticize him no matter what he did.

Let me know when he reaches Bush's levels. You remember, the guy with the 90% approval ratings after 9/11, who left office with the lowest approval of any president in 70 years, 22% approval.

Text

Mr. Bush's final approval rating is the lowest final rating for an outgoing president since Gallup began asking about presidential approval more than 70 years ago.

The rating is far below the final ratings of recent two-term presidents Bill Clinton and Ronald Reagan, who both ended their terms with a 68 percent approval rating, according to CBS News polling.

Recent one term presidents also had higher ratings than Mr. Bush. His father George H.W. Bush had an end-of-term rating of 54 percent, while Jimmy Carter's rating was 44 percent.

Harry Truman had previously had the lowest end-of-term approval at 32 percent, as measured by Gallup.

Views of Mr. Bush's popularity are highly partisan. Only 6 percent of Democrats approve of the job he has done as president, while 57 percent of Republicans approve. Eighteen percent of independents approve.

57% of Republicans still approve of Bush? Talk about your denial...

LOL, bu.. bu.. bu Bush.

 

[Pens1566]

Ah, nothing to refute it so lets spout gibberish.

His "all time low" is still better than anyone the republicans can throw at him for the general.

Elections have consequences, and people remember what a bad job Bush (and Republicans) did for the country. The question is, who have you got to run against Obama in 2012? The leading Republican candidates are dropping like flies, Ensign , Sanford.....

 

[ZeGermans]

Drops in Obama's approval ratings are coming from liberals that realize that while he's an expert at trolling republicans into looking like asses, he hasn't actually done a single liberal thing.

 

[blackangst1]

Down to 41%.

Overall, 45% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the President's performance. That?s down a point from yesterday and the lowest level of total approval yet measured for Obama. Fifty-three percent (53%) now disapprove.

If Americans could vote to keep or replace the entire Congress, 57% would throw out all the legislators and start over again. Just 25% would vote to keep the Congress. (LOL! Enjoy your majority while it lasts!)
