Is Bush In "Freep Fall"?







If I was President
And the Congress call my name
I'd say "who do . . .
Who do you think I'm fooling?"


Former Senator Simon is right on the money! Yep, Bush's numbers are indeed falling like iraq. (Well, at least his mama loves him.)

Newsweek asked: "Do you approve or disapprove of the way George W. Bush is handling his job as president?" As of 9/18/03, Bush's approval rating is at 51%. On 4/10/03, it was at 71%.

I'm no rocket scientist, but that's almost a twenty-point drop! The question is, how low can he go?

Dubyas G.O.O.P.


:P

7. Its more than a year from the elections
Depending who gets the nomination, Bush could EASILY move up in the polls, and cream a candidate who appears too liberal to republicans, and too conservative to democrats. THis could be a reverse of what happened to his Poppy, who was polling at the top a year befreo the nomination and plummetted like a stone in the few months prior to the election. Bush could plummet for the next 6 months, and pull a coup in the last three months and defeat any Democratic nominee. Florida where I live, I a likely Bush win in 2004, as the number of democrats which made this state a majority Democrat state have dropped by 75 percent in the last 3 years and even themayo of my city, who won as a democrat his first term switched parties for his second to run as a Republican in order to stay in office.

As James Carville stated, you must stand for something and show what you stand for and what your differnces are to defeat the Republicans. The front runner has nothing to offer in this area. as aside from the war in Iraq, teir policies are not substantially different than Bush's so swing voters will not see the point in swinging back.

8. Sen. Paul Simon of Illinois
didn't write the song, but he is a good, decent progressive who has many great ideas. Should have been President in '88, imho.

9. Paul Simon wrote it after he spit up with Garfunkle
Edited on Sun Sep-21-03 04:17 PM by TDubyaA
I'm no rock aficionado, but I watch American Idol. And I distinctively heard Claude Aikens thank Simon after singing "Ridge Over Trouble Waters." And I know for a fact Maxine inspired the song because Senator Simon used to work with her in the house and witnessed first hand all the aggravation she was having with the Secretary of Homefield Security's colored codes. In this day and age, you would think the Bushies would stop labeling Americans of African-American decent ... but nooooooooo. Even with Powell in the White House, Ridge continues to draw a line at the Sands, which, might I add, is where Simon performed just a few weeks ago.

So let's be above bored here, OK?

I really don't want to argue about this any more. Let's stick to the issue here, which is Bush's falling numbers. Let's focus on the 2004 election. If you want to talk about American Idol, take it the Lounge. This is not the place for it.

Now let's talk Bush!
