Another Bush poll! Do you approve of the job he is doing?

[Divinus Arma]

Simple! Yes! or No!

All votes for Gah will be counted as European.


EDIT: POLL IS NOT PUBLIC>

[Spetulhu]

I voted Gah! since I'm Eurotrash.

[Xiahou]

I dont think you'll find many approving votes. The thing some people on the left don't seem to understand is that conservatives can and do support certain Bush policies (a scant few), while still feeling that he's doing a poor job overall. For example, just because someone supports finishing the job in Iraq, they arent automatically Bush administration cheer leader.

I voted that I disapprove of the job he's doing- but if the election between Bush and Kerry were held tomorrow, I'd have no choice but to vote for Bush. Maybe next time the Dems will give us someone not so shiftless. I probably wouldn't have voted for a Leiberman- but at least he seemed rational enough that I wouldnt have been forced to vote for Bush for fear of letting a liberal kook in office. Hopefully next time Dems wont nominate a raving loon (or Hillary), because Im pretty uninspired by the current slate of Republican hopefulls.

[Justiciar]

Who is this Bush fellow anyway?

[Kagemusha]

GAH! Another Eurotrash vote.

[Sjakihata]

Voted Gah! - im european and I do not approve of his job, never have.

[Devastatin Dave]

Voted no...
He's squandered one of the greatest opportunities for Conservatives to finally step on the necks of the 60's generation's foolish policies that have destroyed the moral fabric of our great society. Screw-U Bush...

[Lemur]

Anybody else notice how hard-core American conservatives are starting to sound like communists? Meaning to say, if you argue with a modern commie, you're going to hear, "Oh no, the theory is great, it just hasn't been done right yet." So Stalin doesn't count, and Mao doesn't count, and the Khmer Rouge don't count, and if people would just do it right, everything would be perfect.

Do you see the analogy? Bush I doesn't count. Bush II doesn't count. Nixon doesn't count. They're not "real" conservatives. The ideology is still pure and perfect, just please ignore the reality and results of an all-conservative government for six years. They don't count. Now if we can just elect some "real" conservatives, everything will get fixed.

What a bunch of starry-eyed hippie idealists.

The difference is, and a very large difference, millions haven't died because of conservatism unlike communist and socialist movements. Nice try though.

[Lemur]

So you're conceding that you sound exactly like a defensive commie? Excellent.

Repetition is the soul of invetion, DD.

Yes, your point is understood. The outcomes of neoconservatism and communism have been very different. My point was that neocons and commies are using much the same rhetoric. The fact that the analogy doesn't extend to places I wasn't going doesn't kill the analogy.

Commie.

Commie.

I mastakenly double posted, get off my back. You're acting like a right wing facsist, we can both play this game.

[Lemur]

I'll happily accept the fascist label if you're ready to admit you're an idealistic little hippie.

Oh, I want to have fun with your if-an-anology-is-not-total-it's-invalid line of reasoning.

You can't compare your true love to a summer rose because:

• Your true love does not engage in photosynthesis.
• A rose has spiny thorns and your true love doesn't.
• They are members of different species.
• Your true love does not respond to standard gardening practices.

What fun! You've given me a new game to play for the day, DD.

Fascisticly yours,

Lemur

[Idomeneas]

im Greek so i voted that i wanna play anyway.

As for Bush. I believe that he is the human incarnation of stupidity. Certainly the lost link between human and apes. But beside that the poll should not be about the work he is not doing, but about the job they're doing. Yep. I mean the backstage circus. Dont tell me that Junior rules US cause i ll drop laughing.

[Devastatin Dave]

I'm glad I've provided you some entertainment Lemur, I guess it beats flinging poo at passer-bys like most Lemurs at the zoo.

[Crazed Rabbit]

No. Not only 'Hell No', but F*** NO!

The senate bill he says is a good starting point for immigration reform is apalling, in the lastest travesty from this fool.

Oh, and Lemur, the difference is that conservatism has worked.

Crazed Rabbit

[Lemur]

Admit it, CR; you're an idealist hippie. You've got a vision of a golden city in your little rabbit head, and not amount of reality is going to shake it loose. If only we could seize the entire Federal Government and do it right next time ...

Feh. Hippie.

[Hurin_Rules]

The difference is, and a very large difference, millions haven't died because of conservatism unlike communist and socialist movements. Nice try though.

No, its only about 100,000 dead in Iraq so far.

[Ser Clegane]

Admit it, CR; you're an idealist hippie.

Please refrain from continuously trying to bait people into flaming.

Thanks

Strange, I can still see Lemur's signature. Where's mine?

Awww, daaaaad, I was just having fun ....

[Alexanderofmacedon]

[Louis VI the Fat]

I'm eurotrash and I approve of bush.


Bring on them hairy European women!

These are the values that America was built on. We left Europe for a reason. They can keep their tiny cars and hairy women.

[PanzerJaeger]

Hes doing ok... I believe he will be remembered much like Truman has been.

Remember, men like Reagan do not come around all the time. We could hardly have expected that level of greatness.

Conservative anger should be directed toward the congress...

[Goalie]

I am sort of a conservative, i think he is doing a so-so job, but the one thing i hate about him is the oil. It is retarded that he gave 27 billion dollars to oil companies for company welfare. He only gave 1 billion to alternative fuel research. I hope the next president will look at the oil issues.

[Kanamori]

I'm not from America but I want to play anyway!

You jest? You do know that congress has been dominated by Republicans for 6 years (12 years in the House)? And, that Bush43 has yet to veto a Bill?

Won't comment on Reagan, except to say that his place in history is the greatest propaganda job ever created. He and his boys got away with treason - and sold it as patriotism.

Bush43, is the most unqualified President in resent history. Truman may not have been qualified, but atleast he had a variety of advisors to base his decisions on. The "Decider" has a choir that sings as he (or Cheney) wishes them to. Believe me, Bush43 will never be remembered as a "Give 'em hell Harry". He will be remembered as the man that created a richmans' welfare state, that bankrupted his nation for the enjoyment and benefit of the privellaged class.

I really wanted to post a reactionary reply along the lines of "what the hell are you talking about, nobody said anything like this".

Instead, I would like you to clairfy how excatly Conservatives are arguing that the theory is correct, but poorly done? Before you respond, allow me to point out one thing:

Bush's policies have been everything but Republican. He has not embraced smaller government, he has expanded domsetic spending, he is in support of a foriegn invasion of poverty, and he has been cow-towing to Democrats. I want to hear what you have to say, but remember that Conservative anger is directed at his lack of conservatism. I think you have mischaracterized the outrage here.

[Uesugi Kenshin]

Nope.

I'm not too impressed with most politicians though....

Ah well, there's still our wonderful representative, soon to be Senator (iirc maybe I mixed them up) Bernie Sanders, who is an awesome politician if ever there was one. Sanders '12!
