If Bush is so great, while are McCain and Palin running away from him like he's on fire?

If they came out tomorrow and tried to defend Bush like you are trying to do, we would need a microscope to see their poll numbers.

Be careful you aren't being suckered in by the very people who hold these elitist goals.

I believe all of our fears about this country are going to come to fruition regardless of which of these two men are elected. Think about it people, you didn't choose any of these candidates to be your presidential choices. They were selected for you, and then you are told here are your choices, pick one. The truth is the higher powers of this country have already decided either of these men will be fine for their agenda. You have to be a real sucker to think that either of these two "prime time" candidates hold any of your best interests at heart. Its time we stopped swallowing whatever they feed us and elect an official the people can really trust. The only problem is, who the hell is that guy/gal?
OK, one more time. Please explain to me the scenario under which any third party candidate wins the white house?

PS: nice to be back, any truth to the rumor that Obama will give his Inaugural address from the Kroll Opera House?

"he wanted to be more like Bush" did you give any thought whatsoever to what you were writing here. I'll tolerate a thoughtful liberal, but this is just lazy!

Did you vote for GWB? If so, you should be banned from voting forever. Anyone backing up GWB with garbage stats is definitely not knowledgeable.
Thank you Thomas Jefferson,

While it is true that GWB has the lowest ever, he also has the highest and his dad has the second highest, both better than Truman or Roosevelt. But that really isn't news, Is it?

Highest approval rating
George W. Bush holds the record with 92% (10/8-9/2001 -- after the September 11 attacks).
George H. W. Bush is second highest, with 89% (2/28/-3/3/1991 -- after the Gulf War).
Harry S Truman is third highest, with 87% (6/1-5/1945 -- after the end of World War II in Europe).
Franklin D. Roosevelt is fourth highest, with 84% (1/8-13/1942 -- after the attack on Pearl Harbor).
Lowest approval rating

George W. Bush holds the record, at 19% (2/16-19/2008 -- during the Iraqi insurgency, and 09/16-19/2008 -- after an extremely bad economic week).
Harry S. Truman is second lowest, at 22% (2/9-14/1952 -- during the Korean War).
Richard Nixon is third lowest, with 24% (7/12-15/1974, 8/2-5/1974 -- during the Watergate scandal).
Jimmy Carter is fourth lowest, with 28% (6/29-7/2/79 -- during the Iran hostage crisis).
• [SIZE=2]Carter: [/SIZE][SIZE=2]Interest rate, 21%. Inflation, 13.5%. Unemployment, 7%.[/SIZE][SIZE=2] The so-called “Misery Index,” which Carter used to great effect in his 1976 campaign to win election, [/SIZE][SIZE=2]20.5%[/SIZE][SIZE=2].[/SIZE]
• [SIZE=2]Reagan’s last year: Interest rate, 9%. Inflation, 4.1%. Unemployment, 5.5%. Misery Index, 9.6%.[/SIZE]

Ignorance being a lack of knowledge, let's see it I can follow the logic here.
