Overall disapproval about the direction the country is headed, my my my WHAT A SURPRISE. First 40 years ago they started dropping the educational standards so now all of our children have the opportunity to be stupid, second corporate greed is at an all time high, third if you are over 45 make sure you have plenty of money in the bank because the odds are you are going to lose your job. A war we have no business in an that is because those people have been fighting for over 2000 years which religious sect is the "one blessed by Mohammed" and next Give amnesty to illegal immigrants that broke the law to get here. Personally, I think we need a new president, that will come in 2008, the vice president should not be from the same party, and replace every member in the Congress. I think that is called starting with a clean slate. How about the rest of you voters out there? How do you feel?
"Women of American" do you understand if you put a man in office, his wife is going to be just another first lady with very little influence in Washington. Think about that before you vote for any man running. Really look at the mess all of them have made so far. Mothers, what about your children that have died in useless wars, who has started them. Do not misunderstand me, I am not a pacifist, but if our American soldiers lives are going to be lost make it count and for a good reason.

Somewhere the clinical definition of retarted is stated as someone who continues to make the same mistakes over and over... These ~25% who still support this inept president/administration are retarded by any definition...

Wars are NOT a "pick and choose" proposition.
Posted by ralphj53

Wars shouldn't be a pick and choose proposition. The effort in Afghanistan was thrust upon us by the attacks on 9/11. The Iraq invasion WAS picked and chosen. The claims about WMD's were put forward after disregarding all the intel that didn't fit with the rush to war. No WMD's and No connection with al-Qaeda or 9/11. Bringing democracy to Iraq was nowhere to be found in the reasons for the war until the truth about the non-existent WMD's and no connection with 9/11 or al-Qaeda began to surface.

It's pretty high-handed to say that we need to keep killing Iraqis because we destroyed their defenses and let the Iranians and al-Qaeda move into their country. They had no civil war until we disbanded their police and military and let criminals and then the sectarian violence to take control and then we allowed the terrorists to move in during the confusion. Their new majority Shia had years of abuse to pay back to the newly out of power Sunni minority. The white house was warned to expect exactly the situation that has followed the invasion before the first shot was fired, but DickNBush were sure they knew better than the experts. They were clearly wrong. The picked the war, we choose to end it.

'There's also rising concern about America's standing in the world.

Seven in 10 Americans say the United States is not respected around the world today. More than half say President Bush's foreign policy has made world leaders less likely to cooperate with the U.S.; just 10 percent say he's made foreign leaders more agreeable."


This person has done so much damage to America, and it's credibility around the world, it will be many decades, if ever America regains some credibility.

40% democrats, 60% republicans.

Perhaps the low approval rating for Congress reflects:
1) disapproval of the lock-step mindless supporters of the Bushit / Chickenshit adminstration that has rubber stamped their every demand;
2) disapproval of the failure of the Democrats elected in 2006 to initiate aggressive action to block the criminal acts of the Bushit / Chickenshit administration.

That encompasses at least 80% of the whole pathetic bunch.

Republicans toadies are history in 2008. But the spineless failure of Pelosi to take action on impeachment does not sit well either.

[micma-2009]

Bush is the worst President in U.S. history and his Republican cohorts in Congress are the most corrupt in history. Nothing good has come from either one.

Okay, so there's massive dissatisfaction. So what? When is anyone gonna gather the teeming, huddled, and unwashed masses into one cohesive force to be reckoned with? Ain't nothin gonna happen until the masses rise up.

Or, as Adlai Stevenson once commented "Eggheads of the world, rise up and throw off your yokes!". Any eggheads out there in the netherworld?
