L ... O ... L .... How does one recognize that the Modern Republican is Reactionary ... and ... that their Belief System - World View ... is fundamentally hypocritical?

☛ Just look at their comments when Bruce Drake comes out with his regular stories on President Obama's Poll numbers!

All Sentient Americans remember George W. Bush's record breaking LOW poll numbers. It was a stunning 'achievement' to garner the lowest Poll Numbers in history.

And how did Modern Republicans respond? Nearly in unison, they replied ...

""These low poll ratings only PROVE how strong and dedicated is our President Bush ... he will 'STAY THE COURSE' with his CONVICTIONS ... and NEVER WAVER ... in providing Welfare for the Wealthy ... and NEVER WAVER from spending $9 BILLION a MONTH in Iraq.""

""The fact that our President Bush IGNORES these poll numbers ... PROVES he's a MAN OF CONVICTION!""

. . . ☯ . . . ☯ . . . ☯ . . . ☯ . . . ☯ . . . ☯ . . . ☯ . . . ☯ . . .

Just ONE YEAR after George W. Bush's TWENTY TWO PERCENT popularity poll numbers ... y'all are JUMPING FOR GLEE ... at the mere HINT ... that our nation's president has a similar drop in poll numbers.

Well ... I feel for ya ... and of course ... I'm sorry that your World View is so intertwined with Hypocrisy ... BUT ... at the same time ... I wouldn't hold your breath.

President Obama's poll numbers will NEVER ... EVER ... fall as low as that of the Most Incompetent President of all time ... George W. Bush.

. N . E . V . E . R .

And really ... why would you WANT that?

Unless ... UNLESS ... your loyalty to your Morally Vacant IDEOLOGY ... is Stronger ... than your LOYALTY to The United States of America.

Is THAT it?

Yes ... I believe ... THAT'S what we're talking about here.

Goppy:
I see YOU'RE filling the hole in obambie's *ss. You should go back to your original screenname, poopyhead. That way, when we bother to address
YOUR bullcrap, we won't be redundant.

I am just so tired of Nobama half-truths, statements of omisson, and out and out lies! I don't care about Bush; he is no longer in government, but Nobama is.

Nobama said, "I will cut the deficit in half by 2012!"
Nobama said, "The stimulus will stop the unemployment rate from rising about 8%!"

AND Surprise, surprise! China is now upset that the Dollar is being devalued by Nobama since they do NOT want to bepaied-off in worthless, devalued dollars; think in terms of $800 Billion! What really sucks is that the G20 and G8 publically chastised Obama for his 5.5 percent of GDP, $3.3 Trillion national budget as openly inflationary, i.e., printing money was and is NOT the solution to preventing a recession or climbing out of one, nor does it stimulate job growth. In fact, Nobama was told that his give-away would cause global inflation of commodities, i.e., Gold, Oil, Corn, etc.. AND, guess what? It has!!!

I am just so tired of the bumbling, inexperienced moron dragging the country down the toliet! His healthcare crap will pile more debt on us, do little good, and will not truely reform healthcare. Even more sadly, the current healthcare bill will literally provide rationed healthcare, the bill will destroy Medicare, and head the US to a financial ruin with a massive, unpayable deficit!

I just hope America wakes ups and simply starts looking at the numbers.

I am just so tired of Nobama half-truths, statements of omisson, and out and out lies!

lol..Obama likes to do thing faster then most people, so maybe he will follow in Nixon's footsteps at warp speed.

So far his shoe his been in his mouth, but like everything that could CHANGE!

That is no longer true; DEmocrats are fading fast and the Independents who really are the ones who put Obama in office are turning completely against. The reality is: Obama couldn't be re-elected TODAY, and he's only 10 months into his presidency. By the time he leaves office he will be LESS popular than the highly unpopular George Bush. The Dems had their big chance and really blew it....

Short of pulling something heinous at this point and the Republicans coming up with a decent candidate, he probably is a "shoe-in" - although if you watch the flop sweat being expelled the Gang of Four around here anytime a poll point drops out of the positive column, you'd think he was on the verge of falling off the face of the earth.

You statement comparing the two wars is interesting, all though probably not really applicable. But there are similarities between Nixon and Obama that those who support Obama don't like to admit to. Do a little digging on Nixon's educational background. It's quite similar to Obama's. As was his vanity and paranoia as regards his "enemies".

While we're on the topic of Nixon, two of the most vocal and proficient haters of all things Republican here claim to have been Republicans in a former life, having "seen the light" with the emergence of Ronald Reagan.

Reagan was sworn in as president in 1981. That's nearly 30 years ago. So if one assumes that these "former Republicans" were actively voting Republican enough times to be considered "Republicans", they would have had to have voted for (in reverse order) Gerald Ford and Richard Nixon at the very least in order to earn the title they went on to reject in the early '80s. One of them continually harkens back to the good old days of Ike, so let's assume for a moment that they're a little older yet. That could possibly have them voting for that shining beacon of all things liberal, Barry Goldwater. A little further back, Nixon instead of Kennedy.

But whether they're old enough to have actually voted for any of those Republicans prior to Reagan, or not, that's their cut off point. Which would have to mean that, as Republicans up until that point, they were A-OK with Richard Nixon (and his co-pilot, Spiro Agnew) and Barry Goldwater, since both those guys were the Republicans of choice, post Eisenhower, up until Nixon bailed and Ford assumed the office.

My point? When someone claims to be this or that, or to make this amount of money or that amount of money or to be in this line of business or that or to "know" this or that and then use that as the foundation for their personal "expertise" on an issue, it's sometimes good to run the numbers on the stuff you CAN verify to see if those claims make sense on a logical basis. If they don't, then you may want to take anything else they have to say with a large grain of salt as well.

Nixon lied about Vietnam? Can you tell us what the Nixon lie was?

Umm.. Bob. Ford was never elected Prez. He was only there because Nixon resigned.

Unless Obama changes his way ... "Shoo in " like you said ... no way.
He is not listen to the people, he is doing what he wants to do.
The polls show that.

Iowans in my experience are trusting, open-hearted people for the most part. But they are not fools, and I doubt many are happy when they compare what BO promised on the campaign trail to what he has delivered.
Transparency? No.
Honesty? Rangel, Frank, Dodd, and Geithner are still there, even if Richardson, Green, and Daschle got weeded out, no thanks to the President.
All legislation to be debated in sunlight and posted on the web? No.
Sustainable policies? No.
Responsible approaches to deficit reduction? No.
Energy policy guided by solid science? No.
Elimination of crony capitalism? No.
Effective regulation of toxic swaps and derivatives? No.
Tangible progress toward peace? Jury is out.

From my perspective, it seems that the President has segued from the role of non-legislating legislator to non-presiding President: pleasant, smooth talking, full of glowing descriptions of the promised land, but sadly out of his depth.

You better pray that he doesn't! I was no fan of Bush but this is much worse, wait till the new health care bill takes effect next year, when you start paying but the benefits do not take effect until 2014! Americans will change their tune when it starts to affect their own pocketbooks. A family of four with an $88,000 income will pay over $15,000 in insurance. Companies will drop their insurance plans when they learn it will be cheaper to pay the fine.
That is only one talking point.
