Bush's Ratings

Submitted by Jacques Bakke, Apr 12, 2007 13:09

My wife and I voted for Bush in both elections. I have been a Republican since the Korean War. Bush has gone down the tubes because of his trying to sneak Amnesty for Illegal entrants through and joining with Kennedy and others in this issue. Because of this we are no longer a registered Republicans.

He could have changed the Tax structure from Income to Consumption Tax. He would have been considered the greatest president since Lincoln!

He has been part of the Pork Parade as well. Other than that we can thank God he was in the White House when 9/11 occurred.

Other than this his job rating has been excellent! His cabinet has been superior to any. He has not fought back against those who have been spewing hate towards him. That is a failing. He has not ralied support from all of Congress, who knows why? He has not done the spin as the Clinton administration did. There are ways to fight the Vast Left Wing Conspiracy because their arguments are so week. They are winning by using consistency and persitency in their fabrications. Bush needs to tell the media to stick it and to shun them.

Big mistake was to allow the press to accompany troops into battle. They should have been kept out of Iraq and handled them like Schwartzkoff did. Big, big mistake. The war would have been over had it not been for the Press!

He wants to bring in 60 million more Mexicans and give citizenship to all of them. He has fallen off the edge and no longer gets out support and we will continue to fight against him until Newt Gingrich replaces him!
