Title: Congress approval rating lower than Bush's
Post by: militarymuscle69 on March 21, 2007, 11:40:40 AM
"According to Gallup's monthly update on job approval of Congress -- in a March 11-14, 2007, national poll -- 28% of Americans approve of the job being done by Congress and 64% disapprove. This marks a substantial change from January and February, with approval down nine points and disapproval up nine points."

The low approval rating just cements Bush as a great leader. He is strong enough to not let your pussy opinions derail him from the importance of protecting the country

A congress full of democrats with a low approval rating means they are great leaders!  they are strong enough not to let people's pussy opinions, derail from doing what's important for the country!

I know what you are trying to do here  :P, however it is a tad different........Bush is unpopular for going against public opinion because he believes he is right. The Dems are unpopular because they promised to do so much last year and haven't done jack. Now people now how republicans felt the last years with the GOP run congress.

Or perhaps they are unpopular for what they are suggesting?

Because in reality a few months in congress is nothing.

240........your wasting your time. They already drank the Bloodbath Bush koolaid. I'm a lifelong Republican that can ADMIT Bloodbath is a fcking MORON.

Blame the mayor of N.O. while Bloodbath sat on his hands???? Comical.

America voted the democrats in because they were displeased with BUSH's handling of the war.  There solution may not be popular, i'm not sure.  congress's approval rating has to be directly tied to their actions since January or lack there of.  And by your logic if BUSH's disapproval rating cements his great leadership then congress's must be the same.

Certainly not, you are right.  Bush has removed any doubt he's an idiot while the jury's still out on congress  ;D,  which also begs the question of congress's approval rating when the reps had control of both houses.

what i was  doing was making fun of your assertion that his approval rating or lack there of cemented his great leadership in standing fast for doing the unpopular thing.   

There's 2 ways to look at that:  either he knows best, or he's an idiot.

Considering the result and the actions leading to this result, I think he's an idiot and his approval rating just supports it.

This is interesting because yesterday when I asked you to prove something in your post you said asking for proof was a classic Democratic line. As if asking someone to actually prove something they say is a bad thing. Yet here you are asking for proof of something someone posted. Have you changed your opinion in one day?

Here comes the classic Dem line! "Please provide proof......"

I'm not blaming the reps, I'm only making the point someone else made that congress has always had a low approval rating thus taking away the significance of your report of this congress having a low one.  And take that into consideration that the reps controled both houses back then and this new congress has been in session for what, 3 months?

You blamed Nagen for the failures in ALabama, Miss, and La.

I blame Bush for FEMA's inability to act - and his shining endorsement of Brownie the whole time.


Damn, you are a dumb shit.  No one said bush ordered a hurricane.  God you disgust me.  Go do your job, dumbshit.

actually control of the national guard rests on the Governer of the state in which they serve. The adjutant General of each of state supervises each organazation.

I mena you knew that right? You wouldn't argue something you didn't know?
