in every single poll more people disaprove of the monkey
and that is with plenty of people saying they approve purely out of patriotism and not reality.

Wow, nice poll database

Sorry, my sarcasto-meter's in the shop, are you being sarcastic? If so why in the hell would you be? That's a cross section of numerous polls including faux news. If you are being sarcastic, kudos, you got me.

he was being serious.

i would like to know if those poll stats are recent or livestream... if they're old stats, that doesn't really help the argument.

either way, it's obvious the dumbass is an ungodly horrible president.... i wouldn't be surprised if those numbers WERE up-to-date.[/quote]

those stats appear to be updated on a daily basis. the newest cbs poll released today shows bush with a 34% all time low approval rating and that page already shows it.

Bush says bin Laden tape aided re-election: report

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President George W. Bush said his 2004 re-election victory over Sen. John Kerry was inadvertently aided by Osama bin Laden, who issued a taped diatribe against him the Friday before Americans went to the polls, The Examiner newspaper reported on Tuesday.

ADVERTISEMENT

Bush said there were "enormous amounts of discussion" inside his campaign about the 15-minute tape, which he called "an interesting entry by our enemy" into the presidential race.

Bush's comments in the Washington newspaper were excerpts from the new book "Strategery" by Bill Sammon, a long-time White House correspondent.

"What does it mean? Is it going to help? Is it going to hurt?" Bush told Sammon of the bin Laden tapes. "Anything that drops in at the end of a campaign that is not already decided creates all kinds of anxieties, because you're not sure of the effect.

"I thought it was going to help," Bush said. "I thought it would help remind people that if bin Laden doesn't want Bush to be the president, something must be right with Bush."


freaking awesome quote. :)

Bin Laden was using reverse psychology. He wanted the Dub reelected. It serves his interests.

There really isn't that much of a difference there.

I think there's a huge difference, dumbya is much more malevolent than nixon ever was, dumbya hasn't done anything but pose for photo ops during disaters whether man made (Iraq war) or natural, nixon went to china (really big deal back then). In no way am I condoning nixon, but with a gun to my convict cichlid's head, I'd go for nixon.

Not to beat a dead horse but what is this "again" you speak of? I didn't vote for him to begin with either time, still wouldn't.

And it's too bad Bush's campaign against McCain in 2000 was so viscious. Imagine how different the US would be if McCain had beaten Bush in the primaries. The Republicans have done a lot of bad things, but possibly the worst in recent memory is somehow turning out Bush instead of McCain as the Republican leader for the new century. What were they smoking?

I thought McCain got skin cancer and that's why he didn't run, what's the dirt on McCain anyway? Real or not.

"John McCain has a black baby."

"John McCain has forgotten his fellow soldiers."

"John McCain lost his mind in Vietnam and squeeled on his fellow troops."
