    say a vast majority really are displeased with Bush, the house, and the senate. Does this mean a shift to the left, or a shift to an even more conservative right?

      Do you:

      A) Cry yourself to sleep every night like a little girl.
      B) Slit your wrists
      C) Hunt down the people who ran your campaign and execute them, gangland-style
      D) All of the above
      E) Other
      E) Other - stand tall and swing your branches about frantically like the robot shouting "danger, Will Robinson" until a strong breeze blows your way giving you new direction.

          We'll see how the REPUBS do during the mid term elections.
          History dictates that Bush will give up huge ground. On the other hand, Bush has bucked history in the last 2 election cycles.

It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt.

            Ay Caramba! He's blown past Johnson and is heading toward Carter! I think the only other 2-term Prez to have a rating this low was Nixon...

              I find it interesting that the primary arguments against DanS are that he drinks Bush cool-aid and that he must be smoking mushrooms.

              None of them address his arguments.

              I find it especially interesting that Carter is listed among the two-term presidents.

                Carter isn't listed among two-term presidents. He's listed among presidents with low approval ratings. In a separate sentence, Nixon is listed as a two term president.

                If you're going to criticize people's arguments, you probably shouldn't put your own poor reading comprehension skills on display in the very same post.

                  A good wish, but it will never happen.

                    No, we're fiscally responsible. Check out the last 25 years:

                    Reagan: First term: More deficit spending that all other U.S. Presidents, combined.
                    Reagan: Second term: Still larger deficits.
                    Bush the Elder: Unable to Balance Budget
                    Clinton: Balanced budget
                    Bush the Younger: Larger deficits than Reagan.

                        A same-party congress that he put in place, I might add. Remember that a president is supposed to lose ground in the Senate at each election. But Bush has gained ground every time.
                        You do seem to forget (memory loss being a common side effect of heavy drinking/drug use) that Bush also managed to lose a same-party congress, without even having an election to blame for it -- by treating GOP moderates so badly that Jeffords bolted party. Yes, the man is truly a master politician.

                          El wrongo. The vote that passed the deficit-reducing budget was 50-50 in the Senate, with the GOP refusing to support it. Gore cast the tie-breaking vote.

                          The notion that the GOP somehow enforced fiscal discipline is laughable, since the GOP congress hasn't been doing any such thing under a GOP president.

                            oh silly BK...

                            you of all people should recognize this

                            it's like the "debates" against creationists

                            there really is no debate

                            one side has all the facts

                            the other side is full of ****

                            and plus, why should we waste our time formulating coherent arguments when

                            A: they're not necessary, because smart people already know we are right

                            B: we won't change the morons' minds

                            C: its more fun to question someone's state of mind when they believe in such ridiculous things
                            To us, it is the BEAST.
