Obvious? Then how do you explain this:

BBC NEWS | Special Reports | 629 | 629 | Bush approval rating tracker

It's Bush's popularity ratings according to various US polls taken over 2006 and the previous five years.



Notice the slight little blip after 11 Sep 2001? A rise from the high 40s to the 90s.

I don't think you are a lazy ass! And I also think it takes guts to admit that none of us get things right all the time.

Too bad - would have been interesting to debate why the mainstream media didn't provide some coverage on the remarks.
This is just too easy. Mainstream Media is Big Corporate Media.

I will type this very slowly just for you. Rush Limbaugh, Neal Booetz and Sean Hannity all said the remarks pertaining to this thread on the same day. If you ever listen to them you would realize they all have the exact same talking points every day. All three have web sites. I have already stated this. Get off your lazy ass and pick up your little fingers and just go to their web sites.

True, but would big corporations necessarily be pro-Republican? And even if they are, surely you're talking about a bunch of fringe pro-Republicans making outrageous statements, not the party as a whole?

I admit I don't know how it works in the US, but certainly in the UK some big corporations give money to the Conservative Party, some to the Liberal Democrats and some to the Labour Party. All three of our main parties are broadly pro-business, and the media have no qualms about taking pops at people on the fringe with extreme views.

Are you really that much of moron that you don't understand it is your responsibility to prove what you say. You constantly say everyone should get of their lazy asses, to prove what YOU say and then you just sit there on your lazy ass, 'typing very slowly', expecting others to do your work for you.
What does it take? Ok, Your a liar. None of these people said any such thing. You are making it all up. Your full of crap. Now prove what you say is true. Is it that you can't? Do you not know how? Are you just a lunatic making up what ever comes to mind? Do you even believe your own bullshit?
Now will you do your own footwork? What makes you think we should provide our own links and proof and then have to go look up what you say too? You are the one that is too lazy to find proof of what you say. Crawl out from under your rock and actually participate.
Heres a better idea, don't bother, until you run your mouth over this one too many times, say the wrong thing, and get banned. Then you can blame the Republicans.
Politics, it seems to me, for years, or all too long, has been concerned with right or left instead of right or wrong. ~Richard Armour

I will type this at normal speed because I don't know what the point is of typing more slowly for someone...

I AGREED WITH YOU ASSHOLE!!!!

I MADE THIS SAME POINT!!!


The post you are responding to is in reference to the fact that WERE I to be disagreeing with you, you can not tell me to find the info myself and expect to be taken seriously. In good debate you (the one making the argument) MUST present your supporting facts and Data...
Fight the good fight, and die with the enemy's heart in your hand.
