Some people don't think everything he's done is bad. The sad part about all of this is that Bush is more popular that Congress. You'd think that they would have stepped up in this vacuum and done something, but they have not. The ratings for Congress are reported as being under 20%. That is sad.

Because we think he is doing a good job yo...

Because he is doing a good job

Because he *is* doing a good job. Is he the best we could possibly have? Of course not, but then I doubt the best would ever be able to make it through the Primaries, let alone get elected. As Douglas Adams put it, “Anyone who is capable of getting himself elected President should by no means be allowed to do the job.” ;-)

He is doing a good job! He has had to deal with unprecendented incidents and dealt with them in the way he thought best. The Senate and the House are just as responsible for alot of the things that have gone bad.

They're either party regulars and haven't a choice or they're afraid of what may come next! The next one may be even worse!

They don't know about the bad stuff that has happened that was directly his fault.

I think he's done an excellent job. He was elected twice. Whether I'm in the majority or minority should not affect my opinion.

Well, there's conscious racism. That's one possible explanation. Then there's unconscious racism, see here: http://tinyurl.com/TimWiseWhitePrivilege2008 There's religious bigotry, the willingness to believe that the Republican crew of adulterers, closeted gay guys, and multiple divorcees are, somehow, the right people to enforce an anti-sex, anti-gay, anti-choice agenda against the rest of us. (Permit me to point out that the current icon, St. Sarah of Alaska, delivered her first full-term baby after seven months of marriage, a marriage done in secret, in a rush, with witnesses she'd never met dragged across the street from a nursing home). There's sheer stupidity, the kind of mindset that believes the plot lines in "24" and old "give 'em hell!" war movies. The kind of mindset that says more people should die, or the American deaths that have already happened are "meaningless." Hey - they mean a lot to their families, let me tell you. The kind of mindset that doesn't realize that over a thousand more Americans have died on the orders of George W. Bush than on the orders of Osama bin Laden (4,150 this week vs. about 3000 in 9/11/2001, being 2819 that day and the continuing deaths from asbestos, etc.) This often overlaps with a kind of chickenpoop macho, the kind of "bravery" you hear from men who have never been in uniform but suddenly find themselves in a position to send OTHER men and women to their deaths. This includes George W. Bush himself, a deserter from a cushy National Guard assignment in Alabama during Viet Nam; Cheney; Wolfowitz; and most of Bush's other gung-ho kill-kill advisers, who have repeatedly overruled and ignored REAL military experts about what needs to be done. So, racism and stupidity, I think. A willingness to vote against their own economic self-interest because, in part (stupidity!), they don't understand that Bush's tax benefits only go to the richest people in the country, about 5%, not 27%... because they are more comfortable thinking that gosh, they are fiscal conservatives (though Bush himself is not, he's spending a three-quarters of a billion dollars a day in Iraq - that's half a million each MINUTE). The kind of selfishness that says, "Don't tax me, bro!" without realizing Bush's tax cuts mean NOTHING at their level of income; that all they do is save the ultra rich money which then has to come out of the pockets of the rest of us. (Like St. Sarah eliminating property tax on people who had enough money to own homes, but replacing it with high sales taxes on food, shifting the tax burden from the landed to even the poorest of the poor.) They don't want to admit that at this point, being hooked on Bush is a matter of emotional obsession, not good judgment. Unless, of course, you are an oil company or a military contractor. In that case, Bush IS working for you, you're becoming fabulously rich, and you justifiably think he's the best thing since daylight.

Jimmy Carter was far worse than George Bush. Just sayin'
