You remember how back after 9/11, when Bush had a %92 approval rate, that was all the conservatives brought up

Question

"Bush is the most popular president EVER, he's a uniter, BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH.

Now that he's sitting at around a %32, all you hear out of 'em is "Those polls are corrupt, they don't mean anything"

Really??? what a difference 5 years make. Just admit your boy blew all that goodwill he had built up to further a personal agenda.

Answer 1

Media will continue to report on Bush's incompetence and failure and when they do they are part of some vast conspiracy, but when they give praise towards him, they fall in line with conservative beliefs so therefore all of a sudden they are not part fo the "conspiracy". When you have such a senseless, illogical, ideology, your basis for existence relies on rationalisation, and propaganda that only your side believes, so no matter what, if they report the truth, which most of the time is incompetence, to a Bush supporter, it is a whole lot easier to just write it all of as being part of some kooky non- existent conspiracy then it is to admit, 'hey maybe we're wrong". This takes place on both sides, but is way more prevalant on the Republican side which tends to praise the system of buying into delusion and partiality just to seem right. Facts just don't matter to these people.

Answer 2

Ahh the good old days. Before the liberals started spreading rumors of a draft, and all the chickenshits started crapping their pants thinking they might just have to defend their country. Finding out it wasn't true about the draft, it was too late to stop the "hate Bush" snowball. Gee, I miss those 92% approval rating days.

Answer 3

My perception is that the democrats seized any opportunity to make Bush and our country look bad. The media helps them by reporting every bad story from Iraq and no good ones.

I don't think that people who are yelling and screaming at Bush have any more right to consider themselves "uniters". They have decided to draw a line and divide this country...not Bush.

These extremist liberals are the ones dividing this country...Bush is the nations leader, opposing him is being divisive. They have every right to dissent, don't get me wrong, but doing so is divisive. In no way is that uniting us together.

Answer 4

The conservatives just want to get their balls jiggled by the American public. They'll do or say anything just to make themselves more popular.

P. Bush's approval ratings will continue to soar then drop because he can't figure out a-s-s from face and im amazed that we havent impeached him yet.

The majority doesn't rule in this country, whoever has the bible in one hand and 50 republicans in the other does.

I can't wait until 2008.

Answer 5

Perhaps it was because he was just sworn into office earlier that year. Or maybe because Bush decided to go after the cowards who attacked the U.S. (unlike liberals who wanted to ask Mr. Terrorist to please not do that anymore or you'll get a time out). If someone hits you, would you just talk about it, or hit them back?

Answer 6

Churchill was largely reviled in England for a long time. Leadership is not a popularity contest.

Answer 7

If you are going to talk about his approval rates, at least get it right.

Its over 40% right now.

And the disaproval is below 50%.

Answer 8

I voted for Bush, and believe now I made a mistake. He sucks.

Answer 9

I never mentioned his approval ratings at any time particularly since I know you can get a poll to show whatever you want it to show. I know they're useless....So, what were you saying?

Answer 10

This is Alex Trebek...please put that in the form of a question.
