Yep.

The thread doesn't make a lot of sense unless you realise that a picture featuring Bush and Bin Laden was removed.

mmm...when the storm known as 'Bush' was first seen approaching the U.S., we were warned to evacuate, but I decided to 'tough it out'.  If I only knew how bad it REALLY was gonna be...

oh well on the bright side forecasters predict 'Bush' should be going away sometime near the end of 2008...

But the after affects could linger for years to come.  Like Clinton, Bush Sr., Reagan...oh wait thats any president. :)

there's hope yet. In australia, it seems even the most despised ex-leaders change for the better and start being really nice and doing good work. dubya could too. i mean i saw him on the news today saying in a really straight forward manner that he accepts responsibility for the problems with new orleans. that just isnt 'political speak'. or maybe im becoming too soft in my old age...

This morning I took an approval rating survey.  I measure Bush's approval rating at 4%.


Numer of respondants:  1
Margin of error:  +/- 4%


Are you sure that's not -4%?  8)

Dubya isn't going to change.  He can't be re-elected for a 3rd term, so he has nothing to lose by being the dick that he is.

That is pretty much it.  Gore couldn't even beat Bush, so how good a candidate could he really have been?  I bet half the people who voted for Bush did so thinking that if there had been a decent Democratic candidate, they would have voted that way instead.  I know I did.

I did pretty much the same thing, against Gore and Kerry.  The problem with the Presidency is that with all the abuse they take from the media during the election process, no one who would be good at the job actually wants it.

What, you mean like Nader? I very nearly didn't vote at all in the last election too. In the end guilt made me go and register yet another "say no to Bush vote".

yeah voting for nader or someone else is pointless though they get like 1/10 the votes that a demo or republican gets. gotta love how corrupt the voting system is where the smaller parties dont have the mass money the big 2 have, so they cant campaign as well

It is not pointless.  Until people on the fence, such as yourself, actually vote for the other candidates, they will always be 10% vote getters.  Their chances of winning cannot change unless people actually vote for them.  It is people exactly like yourself that can put an end to the two party system, yet it is also people exactly like yourself that can't be bothered because they will only vote for someone they think can win.

Dude, how could they be more nutjobby than Bush?  The Democrats are leaning on Dean and you don't get any more nutjobby than he does.

With nearly everything under Republican control (house, senate, courts) and the Dems not being able to find a decent candidate that even has a chance against the likes of Dubya; how much longer do you think there will be a Democratic party?

With leadership like 'dubya's', I'm not sure how much longer there'll be a GOP...I think he's pretty much sealed the fate of the 2008 election single hadedly...doesn't matter who runs.    Will you vote for Cheyney?

Cheney won't run, he literally won't survive the term.

I will be surprised if you don't see Mitt Romney on the ballot, and he is a good man and a good leader.  Him I would vote for if he ran under the chickens with beaks party.

I will be surprised if you don't see Mitt Romney on the ballot, and he is a good man and a good leader.  Him I would vote for if he ran under the chickens with beaks party.

It would be no use.  I don't think a Mormon could win the white house right now.  Hell, it's nearly impossible for a Catholic to get in there.

And whoever suggested the democratic party wasn't going to be around for long....   ::)   Until recently (1994 I think) the democrats held a majority in both houses of congress for more than 40 years straight.  At many times during that period democrats held both other branches of government.  We're not going to move to a 1-party system, and unless laws are changed it's virtually impossible that a third party could displace democrats.  Laws can't change because those changes would kill Republicans and Democrats alike and you may have noticed that the only people with the power to change those laws happen to be about 99% Republican or Democrat.

In 2006 and 2008 the Republican party will be penalized for Bush, losing seats in Congress and then the White House.  Then wackos like you, except on my side of the fence will start talking about the Republican party being done for.  Or maybe you'll only lose one or the other between Congress and the Presidency.  Or neither.  But I can guarantee that at least one of those things will happen.
