I hear this over and over and NO ONE can has shown WHAT these have been for? Perhaps for good? Don't give me that if Bush signed it it was bad BS! These "could have been" good issues to agree on but dem's seem to think NOTHING has been good for the last 8 years. That's really pitiful.

Really?

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: Interest rate, 21%. Inflation, 13.5%. Unemployment, 7%. The so-called “Misery Index,” which Carter used to great effect in his 1976 campaign to win election, 20.5%.[/SIZE]
• [SIZE=2]Reagan’s last year: Interest rate, 9%. Inflation, 4.1%. Unemployment, 5.5%. Misery Index, 9.6%.[/SIZE]
• [SIZE=2]Bush today: Interest rate, 8%. Inflation, 2.6%. Unemployment, 4.5%. Misery Index, 7.1%.[/SIZE]

Uh, but Bush's highest rating was toward the beginning of his presidency and his lowest is at the end. That's not a good thing. I don't feel that I should have to explain why that is not good ...

"Bush has now tied Richard Nixon's worst rating ever, taken in a poll just before he resigned in 1975, and is only 2 points higher than the worst presidential approval rating in history, Harry Truman's 22 percent mark in February 1952," says CNN Polling Director Keating Holland."

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.

Unfortunately for the GOP, the stupidest and most ignorant are also the most visible to the rest of us. I guess it's up to actual conservatives to take their bruised party back from the neocon wingnuts.
