What approval rating?

I spent a year and a half in Texas. They love him there. I met enough people who realized he was an idiot, but I met a crazily high amount of people who were fiercely defending him. It was very polarized, nobody in between.

Bush's national approval rating. It's like this constant poll that shows how much of the country agrees with him and approves what he is doing. Not that it means anything anyway, as it's just a chart, and Bush ignores it any how. As of September 07, it was 39% approval.

Oh. Well, you have atleast his wife, Cheyney, and maybe a few more of his lackies, so I'd give it a 0.000126% app. rating

give or take a couple of zeros before the 126 of course.

Well, this election, we'll win either way. We'll have a calm level headed black man, a somewhat sane and post menapauseal woman, decorated war veteran (unlikely), or a preacher (even more unlikely).

I was actually appalled at some of Huckabee's platforms. Created some more strain with my ex when I shouted at her when she announced she was supporting him. It's almost frightening - like many people, she refused to vote outside of her party, even if she doesn't like any of the candidates, and all she seems to care about is who doesn't or does support abortion - and that's not even anything the President has any power to do anything about! It should be mostly irrelevant. (I understand wanting a president who shares your views, but you shouldn't care *very* much about the things he can't change anyway.)

Strange, back in 2000 (even though I couldn;t vote, and still cant) I wanted Bush to be president because his dad was, and he should get s shot at it too. That was my logic. b I should have been slapped for that.

When I was *really* young back in 92, I wanted Ross Perot to win because I liked the sound of his name.

Not necessarily: one of the President's most far-reaching powers is the power to appoint Supreme Court justices. It is theoretically possible, although unlikely, that a President, or a series of like-minded Presidents, could appoint enough pro-life justices to overturn Roe v. Wade.
I personally support the idea of strict constructionist judges; i.e. judges who refuse to make a decision on something that the Constitution remains silent on. Under strict constructionist judges, Roe v. Wade would never have been decided by the U.S. Supreme Court and the decision would have reverted to the states. Thus, for example, abortion would be illegal in Utah while it would be legal in Vermont.

You realize that the decorated war veteran thinks we should stay in Iraq for another century and the preacher says we should rewrite the Constitution to be more like the bible?
