Default Re: Bush approval rating slumps to all-time low

Per The Fabulous mike gray:

Odd that every president we've ever had saw his approval rating
slump to an all time low.
----------------

You're right. Let's look back in history. The connection between
Dubya and Tricky Dick losing their approval rating is being talked up.
All the coincidences. Nixon with the Vietnam War. Dubya with the Iraq
War. Yep... the approval rating slipping down down down has been
something we've seen and so far you're right, we can liken it to other
Presidents and what they had going on. But hey... maybe we don't have
to be that stupid as they were with the Vietnam War and wait that long
to speak out against it. Maybe we need to speak out now against the
Iraq War.

Speaking of having the wool pulled over your eyes;

You won Grenada, didn't you? Maybe we should stick to fighting banana

Me too, but the way to fix that might just be to elect somebody who could
effectively lead our country. I still believe Kerry would have been a lot
worse, but Bush could have been a lot better.

No, I take that back. I don't think Bush could have been a lot better. I
do think somebody could have been.

Yes it is. It's also like John's question about whether gun rights are more
important that your family safety. Those are not the only options.
