HT to Bill O’Reilly’s favorite wesite, the Daily KOS, but this map of America is significant; every state in the union now has less than 50 percent approval rating for President Bush. The map tells you which states disapprove of him more or less by polling percentages.ÂÂ
I wonder if its a preview of the 2008 presidential election map?
Do you have the same map with Congress’ approval ratings?
Well, since Congress makes up both Democrats AND Republicans, I’m not sure how much good it will due since Republicans seem to block all the of things we’re trying to do; but a good argument for a veto-proof majority.
With all the Republicans retiring from the House and Senate, looks like the Democrats will be an even stronger majority in 2008.
That would be a ‘no’ then, would it?
I don’t have one, but the way most of America works is they love their congressman or congresswoman and hate everyone else.
I’m so sorry that the Republicans squandered all that 9/11 love through repeated corruption, abuse of power, and war mongering, but your party got what it deserved when it decided the Constitution was just a piece of paper.
Relax Dan. And you might make sure you are current on your meds. It was just a question. The relentless personal attacks upon elected officials from both sides (yes, both sides do it but that does not make it right) undermines public confidence in government. I believe that is a bad thing. Now if you are a traditional conservative, public dislike is not so bad; but for our big government brethren this is a very bad trend. So maybe both sides should tone down the rhetoric (and keep up on their meds.)
See, that wasn’t so bad.
I’m not a traditional conservative at all; but please tell me when have Republicans shrunk the size of government?
It grew under Nixon, Ford, Reagan, GHW Bush and GWBush.
I believe the last politician to actually shrink government was Bill Clinton; the federal government was the smallest its been since the Kennedy administration. Under G.W. Bush, we have the biggest government we’ve ever had.
Toning things down? Sounds like the old you can dish it but not take it argument.
