Kinda funny. Seems like "name dropping." Bush must associate himself with a dead president in order to make himself look better. Heh... Guess he can't run on this own merits.
That was exactly my point in posting it. I didn't expect to see anyone from the "other side" posting it.
That Regan death correlation is down right interesting. What psychological effect can the death of a former president possibly have on current politics? I find that really fascinating.
Well with the endless positive imagery of the loss of one the strongest Republican leaders of this century whose policies Bush attempts to echo an outpouring of sympathy is natural. If this were Carter who had passed Bush would obviously not be receiving the same reaction. Along with countless images of Bush respectfully paying tribute to this beloved leader ~ once again Bush is leading a depressed nation through the sorrow (he does this well). Bush is doing a good job with a sensitive situation, but the fact is he’s received a bump in the polls from Reagan’s death. Some Repubs are exploiting Reagan’s death and that is why we’ve heard an outcry from the family ~ reality will set in after a week or so…
I personally am doing much better than I was 10 years ago during the Clinton years... Thank you President Bush!!!
Yes I did...Now I can buy more bullets to help the economy...You see while you are wasting time sitting and showing your teeth,... I'm sitting here ordering 1000 rounds of ammo over the internet to contribute to our economy...I'm making a difference by engaging in trade via the dollars you spend consuming the burger I may or may not have spit on...Thank you, come back!...
...Right now DavidS has decided to try a nice, juicy, greasy burger...He is spending his hard earned money, so I can earn funds, and in turn I will spend my hard earned money on goods to satisfy my wants, and in this case...more guns and bullets... I want to take this time to thank DavidS on purchasing the sloppy burger I prepared for him...I hope he will enjoy to some degree...But more than that, I want to thank DavidS for contributing his plethora of funds towards the overall economy which in turn will only add to the overall health of the going economy,...and frankly, this bodes well for our great President...
Sorry, don't eat there. Too fattening. Heh... So, (I'll play along) why the guns and bullets? Need to kill a few Injins? Well, you better watch out. They scalp people. Yep, lots of reasons to be afraid. But, as long as you have your bullets...you should be safe.
Uh oh! Poll: Sending troops to Iraq a mistake Presidential contest a tie among likely voters Thursday, June 24, 2004 Posted: 3:26 PM EDT (1926 GMT) WASHINGTON (CNN) -- For the first time since the start of the war in Iraq, a majority of Americans say the United States made a mistake in sending troops to that country, according to a CNN/USA Today/Gallup poll released Thursday. Fifty-four percent of those polled said it was a mistake to send U.S. troops to Iraq, compared with 41 percent who expressed that sentiment in early June. Most poll respondents, 55 percent, also said they don't believe the war has made the United States safer from terrorism -- rejecting an argument that President Bush has repeatedly advanced in his rationale for the war. Yet the poll also found that Sen. John Kerry, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, has made little headway on the issue of Iraq, which has figured prominently on the campaign trail. Kerry, a four-term U.S. senator from Massachusetts, and Bush are essentially tied when Americans are asked who would better handle the situation in Iraq. Forty-seven percent said Bush would do a better job on Iraq, compared with 46 percent who picked Kerry. Commander-in-chief And while six in 10 of those polled said they believe Kerry could handle the job of commander-in-chief, most Americans indicated that they trust Bush more in that role, 51 percent to 43 percent. The poll, based on interviews with 1,005 Americans -- including 521 likely voters -- was conducted by telephone June 21-23. The margin of error varied by question, from a low of 3 percentage points to 4.5 percentage points. The poll comes on the same day that a wave of attacks on Iraqis and coalition forces left more than 90 dead. The impact of those attacks was not a factor in the poll, as it was conducted earlier. Looking at the presidential race, the poll found a tie among likely voters: 49 percent for Bush and 48 percent for Kerry. When poll respondents were asked to consider independent Ralph Nader, the breakdown was: 48 percent for Bush, 47 percent for Kerry and 3 percent for Nader. The poll found some advantages for Kerry. His favorable rating is higher than Bush's, 58 percent to 53 percent, and it has grown over the past few months as Bush's has fallen. Kerry also gets higher ratings on who would better handle the economy -- 53 percent picked the Democrat, while 40 percent selected Bush. And the economy was identified by more voters, 41 percent, as the most important role for the president -- ahead of both managing the government or acting as commander-in-chief. http://www.cnn.com/2004/ALLPOLITICS/06/24/poll.iraq/index.html
