Yep, the real ones were held in November 2000 and 2004. ;-)

I already listed the reasons in another post last week:

"People care about the stock market hitting a 4 1/2 year high, the low
unemployment rate, the increased spending on big-ticket manufactured goods,
the dropping fuel prices, and the improving consumer confidence numbers."

Things like Joe Lieberman's op-ed piece in the WSJ are just icing on the
cake. ;-)

2 1/2, 4, and 6. And I know where you're going with this. I'd be concerned
too. But sooner or later we're going to have to confront these maniac
Islamic fundamentalists. I'd prefer we do it now before they obtain nukes.

No, really...it's not.

It's hard to maintain a movement, when the fundamental pillars of that
movement begin to crumble. Those Islamic fundamentalist hate groups thrive
on the despair and hopelessness that thrives in the Middle East. Providing
Muslims a taste of democracy and the fruits of capitalism provides them
hope...a hope that will displace the hatred that comes from despair.

If the current strategy continues, there will be no countries left in
the Middle East that are capable of launching an attack against the
United States...nor willing to employ terrorists as mercenaries in
launching a clandestine war against the United States.

Fight them now, so that we don't have to fight them later.

What about the home-grown ones in England, Europe, the U.S. and
Southeast Asia?


They're incapable of sustaining their anti-Western actions without the
help of the terror training, hatred, and money that is exported from
the Middle East.

That's silly.


No, really...it's not.

It's hard to maintain a movement, when the fundamental pillars of that
movement begin to crumble. Those Islamic fundamentalist hate groups
thrive on the despair and hopelessness that thrives in the Middle East.
Providing Muslims a taste of democracy and the fruits of capitalism
provides them hope...a hope that will displace the hatred that comes from
despair.


Y'all let me know when that happens, ya heah?

Let's see....capitalism.....Iraq wasn't a communist country. It had a
healthy small business environment, just like here. So, that factor can come
right off the blackboard. Democracy: It's beginning to look like it doesn't
really matter who is elected there, as you would see if you weren't getting
all your news from Highlights for Children.

What you right wing lemmings fail to understand is that the Middle

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.

Why......because

(1) has a grandiose sense of self-importance (e.g., exaggerates achievements
and talents, expects to
be recognized as superior without commensurate achievements)

(2) is preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance,
beauty, or ideal love

(3) believes that he or she is "special" and unique and can only be
understood by, or should
associate with, other special or high-status people (or institutions)

(4) requires excessive admiration

(5) has a sense of entitlement, i.e., unreasonable expectations of
especially favorable treatment or
automatic compliance with his or her expectations

(6) is interpersonally exploitative, i.e., takes advantage of others to
achieve his or her own ends

(7) lacks empathy: is unwilling to recognize or identify with the feelings
and needs of others

(8) is often envious of others or believes that others are envious of him or
her

(9) shows arrogant, haughty behaviors or attitudes

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.

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.

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



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.


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.
