I do have to ask, what is your purpose of cut and pasting the news

you place in rec.boats?

What you right wing lemmings fail to understand is that the Middle
Eastern people are different from us. They live by different
principles, plain and simple. They don't WANT to be like us.
All of them?



Probably more of them than you care to know. Admitting this would mean
having to face the fact that our foreign policy is based on fluff. Just
like Vietnam.


Remember that prior to presuming office, Bush was totally ignorant of
and
uninvolved in any sort of foreign policy. During that first campaign for
POTUS, it was revealed that Bush had to that point been to only one
foreign country in his lifetime. Mexico. And probably to get drunk and
laid.

I'll bet my "Bush Quiz" would still work. I'll bet if you put Bush in
front of an outline map (no details, no place names) of the Middle and
Near East, he could not point out Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran, or Syria.

Hell, he probably couldn't name the 50 states off an outline map. Or
recite the list of states from memory, as *every* kid in my sixth grade
class could do.

Watching the Bush numbers in the FOX news poll on this site,

http://www.pollingreport.com/BushJob.htm

proves interesting.


Just over a month ago, only 38% of Fox News poll responders approved of
Bush, and now the number is in the low 40's. What changed, however, was
not the number of people who
disapprove of Bush in the Fox News poll (remained at 53%) but the
number of people who were "unsure". The "unsure" dropped from 11% a
month ago to just 5% last week. Moral of the story: you can shake the
confidence of a Fox News believer, but when bombarded with a stepped up
propaganda campaign he or she is more likely to head back into the herd
than to cross over to the "dark side." :-)

Bush better get his number up, a lot, in the next 9 or 10 months or his
"coattails" won't be worth squat next November.

Harry,
Since my comments have always been mild compared to others, why the
animosity?

You *still* don't get it, dicquewad?

There is not one opinion of yours nor one piece of advice or information
from you about which I give a ****. Same goes for your questions, your
comments, your "advice," your whatever.

Save your keystrokes for someone who cares.

Is that clear enough for you? Do you get it yet, scumbag?
We're *not* going to be engaging in dialogue, now or ever.
All you will get when I bother to respond at all is a canned response.

Now, go out and do what you and your boys do best: go slap some bitches.

Look again. The unsure dropped from 11% to 10%.

Better rework your theory, since it was based on inaccurate data.

"coattails" won't be worth squat next November.

Bush's approval rating is within 5 or 6 points of where it was when he won
the '04 election by 3 million votes. Based upon how well the economy is
doing, and the improving consumer confidence figures, I predict his approval
rating will at least be where he was in 11/04.
