 Watergate-Era Nixon Beats Bush in PollPosted on Nov 7, 2007
According the esteemed Gallup Poll, it’s not just that Americans largely disapprove of George W. Bush, but that half strongly disapprove. In fact, Bush has more intense disapproval than Nixon had during Watergate.

Steve, it’s better to keep your mouth shut and have people think you are an idiot than open it an give them proof.
What I’m wondering is what planet you have been living on since 2000, and before that even. I think you need to know that Bill Clinton didn’t have an attack on American soil from 1993 until the usurper was appointed/annointed by the SCOTUS in 2000. Within a very short time we were attacked on 9/11/2001, despite clear indications your hero Duh-bya ignored explicit warnings. Any reasonable rational person would be hard pressed to find ‘one’ thing Bush has done benefitial to upholding the Constitution (which he swore a public oath to do), Americans, and the rest of the world’s citizens.

I still support George W. Bush. I think his legacy will show that he kept America safe. After all, we have not been attacked by the terrorists since September 11th. We must continue the good fight. We must continue to fight for freedom!!!!! Fight them over there so we don’t have to fight them here in the streets and school yards of America!!!! They hate our freedom. God bless America God bless freedom and God bless George W. Bush!!!!

I think personally you are wrong about Bush way wrong. I think you should give your leaders a little more respect n stead of bashing them all the time. Ever thought about how they must feel. He may not be perfect but who is. I would rather have him than a guy who wants to kill our babies. What is our country coming to. This country seriously needs a wake up call.

Georgie it seems will be getting his legacy after-all. It will be an infamous legacy rather then one filled with an honorable deed, but Georgie won’t know the difference. He will be one proud clown.

These polls are irrelevant since Congress lacks the will to throw out its District of Corruption garbage even with the Constitutional right to do so. Most of Congress knows that if it starts turning on its own the whole system can come down just like the corrupt house of cards it is and where would that leave “them”.
Unless Bu$h gets a blow job anytime soon in the Oval Office he isn’t going anywhere. Dick is allowed to use only blanks in his shotgun and he’s so deep in his bunker he couldn’t be found in the next 14 months even if they wanted him.

Maybe what we should do is grab our elephant guns and see if Cheney wants to go bird hunting. It is open season on Dicks now, isn’t it? LOL

After the attack on the Constitution and Bill of Rights (Without the permission of the British; a major offense) The British gave Nixon two choices. (Resign or go to jail) After praying in the White House all night with Kissinger, instead of looking at Nazi propaganda film as was their usual habit, Nixon decided to resign. Despite the exposed criminality by Nixon, the American people voted him in by the biggest landslide vote since George Washington. Does that tell you something about the American voter?

Man, what is wrong with that 31% that actually approve, not to mention the 17% that approve strongly (Besides being the ones with their rapture bags packed)?

Results of this poll are interesting but what’s much more interesting is that nothing at all will be done about it. Bush doesn’t give a crap what the nation thinks. Nancy Pelosi doesn’t give a crap what the nation things. The Democratic National Committee is smugly silent about Mike Gravel being excluded from the upcoming CNN presidential debates. Mike Gravel does not mince words about the Democrats culpability and for that reason the DNC is glad to shut him up. The DNC does not give a crap about what the nation thinks. There is apparently no one in the Senate today willing to take on the presidency as Gravel did with Nixon. That about does it. We are screwed and George Bush and Nancy Pelosi and the military-industrial complex and the Israeli lobby and just about everyone else in the world knows it. Stay tuned?

back in Cheney’s neck of the woods, they’d hang ‘em first & then impeach ‘em
or maybe just tie ‘em to a fence and beat ‘em to death & then impeach ‘em
in Cheney’s basement, they’d waterboard ‘em & then impeach ‘em
i’m more civil-- i’d just lock ‘em up & then impeach ‘em
it’s high time Dick & W had a chance to defend themselves!

Nancy,
Is someone blackmailing you, or is it you just don’t care about r-election?
If it’s the former then just retire, get the hell out of the way,so we can get someone in charge who will do what the electorate across the country is demanding to be done (hint, hint: Impeach).
If it’s the latter, then I don’t think you will have much to worry about becase you ar headed in that direction wit what you have been doing anyway.
Bottom line: Step up or step out.

Was there a category for those of us who disapprove “absolutely more than strongly”?
Report thisI agree with Robert Giacobbe: there is no politics in impeachment, “Its the Constitution, Stupid”. The evidence is not the poll numbers, but the People who recognize that the evidence exists to proceed with impeachment. I’m certainly tired of the “Who is the Worst President Ever” polls.

Nixon was a saint, compared to this a-hole-in-chief. However, Nancy & the other imposters claiming to be the opposition have the same criminal agenda as the a-hole, and that is to screw us all.
