Posted on 04/20/2006 11:52:31 AM PDT by ConservativeMan55

I just saw on Foxnews that President Bush's poll numbers have taken another dive. Gee I wonder why?

Maybe the average American isn't thrilled about our President hosting the Red Chinese..complete with marching bands..and a 21 gun salute.

Maybe the average American isn't thrilled that 12000 illegal aliens enter the US every day. Screw guest workers, screw the economy..if the terrorist sneak some sort of bomb in here..its all gonna be blown to hell anyways.

Maybe the average American isn't thrilled that Iran was named CHAIRMAN of the disarm committee of the UN..and we don't hear A PEEP from our President.

What happens next of course..is that Iran will call for Israel to "unarm" themselves of their weapons. Why are we hosting the red chinese anyways? A country where human rights DO NOT EXIST.

China..a country that threatened the United States.

Remember this??

“If the Americans draw their missiles and position-guided ammunition on to the target zone on China's territory, I think we will have to respond with nuclear weapons,” said General Zhu Chenghu.

Ther's also the price of gasoline, runaway spending, and an immigration plan that could best be described as, "Hey everybody, come on in!"

Maybe it has to do with the 38% D/27% R/35% anyone over 18 they use to create the sample for the Poll. Sorry until they come out with the 40-40-20 poll of Likely voters, all these hyperventalating is about Junk Polls. Classic garbage in-garbage out polling

I agree with the idea that Bush low poll numbers are in fact due to many people who voted for him, being really po'ed right now. The dems never liked him, understandable. But you don't get this low in the polls without people who once supported you being really disillusioned with you.

You mean the Ronald Reagan all of you Dinasours whined about all thru the 1980s for negotiating with the Commies? Amazing how quick you all are to forget reality to create a revisionist history. You all did the same whining about Reagan back in the 1980s. Spare us the selective memory and psuedo historical claims.

Personally I don't think it's just a Bush problem, as much as it is a GOP problem.

What do they stand for? Do they stand for smaller government? That's a hard case to make with their spending.

Are they for lower taxes? Hell, I just had to pay the AMT for the first time ever, what's up with that?

It all goes back to "that vision thing."

I was polled once on whether I favored President Bush's performance. It was a couple of years ago and despite my complaints about some things he had been doing or not doing(mainly his malfeasance in securing our borders) I gave him a favorable rating. In balance, at the time, he was performing favorably in my opinion. If I was called today with the same poll I would give him an unfavorable rating. I'm a Republican Precinct Committeeman, President of a Republican club, served as Delegate to the State Republican Convention, served on the campaign staff of 3 Republican congressional campaigns, etc. So, is there any wonder why his numbers are in free fall? I was a broken glass Republican in 2000, campaigned for President Bush in the last two elections, attended Bush rallies, stood outside my polling place for hours with a Bush for President sign on election day. Yet, his performance in office has left me very disappointed. And I don't see things improving. In fact, with each passing day and the more he says and does, the more I find his performance to be poor. This grand welcome with fanfare and all of the Chinese tyrant is just another in a long series of problems I have with this President.

If Clinton had welcomed the Chinese dictator into the White House with the same pomp and pageantry, Free Republic would have gone apopleptic for a day or two. President Bush does it and there's hardly a thread about it and those threads are mainly about the courageous woman who yelled at Hu about his brutal, murderous control of China.

All polls show him leading Petro by anywhere from 10 to 14 points.

Bush's poll numbers have actually been going up the past few days to 43% according to Rasmussen Report.

Since Rasmussen Report polls everyday, uses a larger sample size, and does a 3 day rolling average, I, statistically trust that poll much more than any other. Mathematically it is a superior polling method.

The country doesn't want liberals.

The country doesn't want half ass republicans.

WE WANT CONSERVATIVES. Liberals end up getting elected because they either

A: Pass themselves off as Conservatives or..

B: People get so angry with liberal republicans they vote third party or not at all..and some idiot like Spector gets elected.

Okay.....

So...what if I came from a family that made $500k a year? Would that be alright?

$400k..??

$150k..??

$75k..??

$700k..??

Do you have a cut-off point? Or a max?

I've known some people that had more money than some states...and you would never know it...Some were trust fund people...some earned every penny. And others that wanted you to think they made millions...when they most surely didn't.

My point is....money in and of itself...doesn't make or break the person.

You're not the only one who feels this way. I'm really disappointed in Bush. I voted for him twice and don't regret it, considering the alternative, but I am disappointed and getting a little nervous about November. The situation at the border infuriates me and his yammering about the ROP makes me sick and I'm damned sure not thrilled to see the Chinese Butcher in Chief feted at the White House by a Republican President.

But we have to keep things in perspective. I think that the President is doing a very good job in Iraq and Afghanistan. Don't forget that he nominated and got Senate confirmation for Roberts and Alito to the Supreme Court and we're still enjoying the fruits of his tax cuts.

Like having to apologize for being a white consevative working American male.

But damn. We have Democratic Underground trolls lurking here all the time and they are loving this sort of thing. They copy these threads and post them over there and set back and LTAO. I lurk there to see what they are saying.

To tell you the truth, this thread would fit right in over there if posted on the regular forum.
