Well, well, well...

Looks aas if Bush has something to smile about these days... Yeah, Dick Cheney's approval ratings are even lower than Bush's...

Why?

Well, first of all he is a Dick!!!

Secondly, he continues to lie about why the US invaded Iraq... And he syas some purdy mean things about folks who step up to the plate and ask, "What's the plan?"

Then the next day he says it's okay to ask "What's the plan" but then goes on his usual tirade about folks who question just how the heck we got into this mess???

Hmmmmmm? Like what am I missin' here??? We can discuss Iraq in terms of how we can secure "vitory" but we can't discuss Iraq in terms of "Oh sh*t, We're in a quagmire. What got us here?

Seems like the debate the Cheney wants ain't a debate at all but another Bush "circle jerk"...

'LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Michael Fisk is a street fighting man. And the street he's fighting is named Dicks.

Fisk, who lives on Dicks Street in the Los Angeles suburb of West Hollywood, has gone to city hall to get the road's name changed -- saying that its slang meaning has made life difficult for homeowners.

"Since we moved in four years ago its just become such a hassle," Fisk said. "It's embarrassing. Something definitely needs to be changed. I realise that it's a man's name, but words change meaning, and this one has."

Dicks Street is in a neighbourhood that fancies first names for its roads, with Keith and Norma among the choices.

Fisk, who collected signatures on a petition from more than half of the residents on Dicks Street, has so far been met with a lack of interest from city officials, who say that changing a street name is too much work.'

Oh yeah? There's a town not far from here in the state of New York named Dix.

So, uh, I have always wondered what the proper pronunciatin of the name of this town is...you know, just in case I ever moved there, I'd want to be able to say...

Hi! I'm from the town of Dicks.

or....

Hi! I'm from the town of Dykes.

You pick.

Michelle, who really does know that how to pronounce it correctly

Bush and Cheney had to adopt the appearance of a tolerant attitude toward dissent while Bush was in China. Kind of hard for Bush to lean on the government of China to be more tolerant of dissent if he and his vice president don't at least appear to be tolerant of dissent themselves.

I am glad that Democrats are finally willing to pursue this creep.
I'd like to see Sen. Leahy shove the flag up Dick's ass.

From my point of view Cheney much like a child molester.
Compared to his current calling I think his being a child molester would be a step up.

A couple thoughts = of what concern are approval ratings at this stage of the game? Since the Dems don't have a clue as what to do, voters are going to stick with the Repubs. At least the Repubs are doing something. Remember the adage, "do something whether it's right or not."

And I have a feeling that some here who must use sources such as Slat, moveon.org, Buzzflash or Angelfire to reload with slings and arrows for the current administration could be jealous, desrious of power themselves or a combination of these and no life of their own, so to speak.

Washington has been screwed up for years and years, the system is basically broken and both sides of the aisle have forgotten why they are there. While we are treated like serfs much of the time, the opportunity is still ive and well here. Constant bitching at one political entity will never solve things. With the exception of the biggest tax increase and the biggest welfare increase in our history, we sorta' coasted during the WJC years. Show me where those two items helped clean up places such as New Orleans, to say nothing of similiar spots like New York city, Detroit, Tampa, Chicago, Miami and others.

It's true, GUEST,A. The Democrats are just as bad as the Republicans. They're all a bunch of corrupt criminals and lying crooks. Democracy is well and truly dead in the US (if it ever really existed at all).

actually Guest A, polls are in a sense, what left of Democracy in America - everyone in Washington reads them religiously..

Republicans were able to get support for the war in the first place, since most citizens still believed the Iraq/ 9/11 link and Saddam Alqaeda, a couple years ago.. (mainly because Cheney Bush and Rumsfeld kept repeating the words together in the same sentence)

This is also why Republicans are afraid, since most citizens now believe that Iraq was a mistake, and that they were misled by the WhiteHOuse. and no amount of 'lashing out' at the war critics is going the work.

The war in Iraq, has ironically reached the predicted 'tipping point' except the tipping point is in the US..

(Bush's approval ratings are at 35%, only 5% higher than Nixon at his lowest.. are they going up or down?)

if the truth comes out about that comment the Daily Mirror wrote yesterday, about Bush wanting to bomb Al Jazeera in Qatar, that Blair had to talk him out of. my guess is down down ...

The al Jezeera story was in today's Washington Post, ptr...

"Paper Says Bush Talked of Bombing Arab TV Network" (buried on page A-14...Normal... The culture within the Post still hasn't chenaged much from when it refused to stand up to the Bush War Machine in the run-up to war...)

Petr, Again, what real difference do their poll numbers mean at this stage of the game? Maybe only to support the Bush basher egos?

Date: 23 Nov 05 - 09:55 PM

Well, this is twice today that I've agree with GUEST A... The poll numbers don't mean a danged thing to me...

But seems that they mean something to the Congressional Repubs who are beatin' feet away from Bush like he were a pool of radioactive scum...

Yeah, seems they don't evn want him comin' 'round their states... Jerry KIllgore, the Repub who just lost the governor's race in Virginia actually snubbed Bush by not appearing with himtwo weeks before the election... After that became the big stink, Killgore reluctantly appeared with Bush in Richmond the day before the election and,,in a solidly Republican state, lost the rave the following day by 5 points....

Yeah, if I were Repub, I wouldn't want Bush no whjere 'round my state...

Polls or no polls....

But very curious wording by GUEST A with "at this satge of the game" Seems to be, perhaps almost Freudin ot sub-conscious, a resignation in that phraseology... It's kinda like a football team being down three scores with three minutes left to play...

And, BTW, A... It ain't the "Bush bashers (which we aren't but bush policy bashers) egos" that seem so frgile these days...

Think about that...

Good one, Donuel....

Hey, 25 years??? Heck, it'll go quickly... You'll see... It will seem like almost yestereday...

'cept the the 40,000 Americans killed, the complete breakdown of the Middle East and only 3 in 5 folks polled who recognizae the name George Bush...

And to think that *he* thought he'd leave a legacy...

Yeah, historians will rememeber him but he is a tiny little man, with tiny little IQ points, and tiny little ideas other than blow folks up, and folks like that go down in history right next to the Polks and the Johnsons (Andrew, that is)...

again A, I repeat the poll numbers are the ONLY THING that those folks
(on either side) pay attention to. (NOW, JUST AS MUCH AS 3 YEARS AGO)

they mattered when Americans bought the lie to go into Iraq,
and they matter now when Bush & co. are trying to fight back...
notice the headlines though? they are getting desperate because they overplayed the fear card, and the wizard of OZ behind the curtain isnt so scary anymore and Americans just dont buy it anymore..

as for Bush Bashing? some of his own base turned against him, witness the reaction after the Harriet Myers nomination, (one has to wonder if Harry Reid set Bush up with that one since he suggested her)
...remember the catechism spouted by the republicans 'every nominee deserves an up or down vote'
well not if your Harriet Myers, and she was denied that by her own side.

and it was also republicans who demanded regular reports on what the plan is in Iraq? You mean they havent been getting them?

oh of course, the first thing was sweep away the flowers strewn at the soldiers feet, second reconstruct the economy (Halliburton to have first refusal on all contracts) privatize all the other profitable bits to corporations to who contributed to the BUsh campaign.
three - build & maintain 14 bases from which to control the oil-rich region and install a faithful govt headed by Chalabi/Allawi etc..
four - hold an election to ratify above, relax and enjoy..
and it was all going to pay for itself thanks to the oil..

'At least the Repubs are doing something. Remember the adage, "do something whether it's right or not."'

That pretty much sums up what's happened to the USA. People in power and those who vote for those people think the above adage is a good one. Have mercy.
