And that is 6% of the population

Country: Belgium
Population of Brussels: 1,122,000

Wow. Another liberal with a math impediment. Big surprise.


700/1,122,000=0.000623

That'd be roughly 0.06% of the population there, Einstein.








0.06% disapprove of him. I guess 99.04% of the population approve of
him. Pretty good numbers, eh Jimcomma? ;-)

Hey Jimcomma, remind me once again of your point.


Do those who do not vote approve or disapprove of a candidate?

What sort of demonstrations happen in NYC when a diplomat from a hated
country like France arrives?


Why change the subject you originally posted Jim? And you never answered my
question.

So remind me again....what was the point of your post? Simple enough
question.

The point is that Bush is less than popular in Brussels -- 700
demonstrators turned out -- staying home is NOT an endorsement of his
politics, no mater how much you would like it to be.

France is disliked by many Americans -- yet how many turn out to
demonstrate against a french diplomat when he arives at the UN.

The origional point is that BUSH is not popular in Brussels (or I
suspect most of Europe). (and not all that popular in the US for that
matter.) Latest I could find was Feb 11

An Associated Press poll finds adults, who were evenly divided on Bush's
job performance in January, now disapprove by 54 percent to 45 percent.
The number who think the country is headed down the wrong track
increased from 51 percent to 58 percent in the past month.

We don't take to the streets to protest. We protest with our wallets.

"Bordeaux wine exports in 2004 to the United States declined 35 percent in
volume and 59 percent in value. Sales to Great Britain dropped 21 percent in
volume and 33 percent in value."

That sure leaves a more lasting mark than 0.06% of Brussel's population
taking to the streets in protest, don't ya think?

Who hates France? I don't hate France - France is pretty nice
actually.

The French - now that's a whole different story. :)

No, the point is that on 0.06% of the population showed up to protest, a
mere 700 people. If he were disliked as strong as you would like to think
thousands and thousands would have shown up to protest.

The logical conclusion has to be that the majority of people in Brussels
like the guy.


An Associated Press poll finds adults, who were evenly divided on Bush's

You are again changing the subject to make your point. Stay focused
Jim....it is your thread.

And get over it already.....your guy lost.

If that were to have as much effect as you suggest, the dollar should be
rising against the Euro.

Well, those numbers really should affect his reelection chances in 2008.
What's that? He can't run in 2008? Then who cares.



From the recently released audio tapes (dating back to 1998):

"It's me versus the world. The good news is, the world is on my side. Or
more than half of it."

And more than half the United States is on his side too.

Jimcomma, Bush is well loved in Brussels. Those folks were just looking for an
excuse to get out and buy some chocolate.
