Obama Approval Index Falls Below Zero...

No, the 80's were not prosperous, the economy was a shambles under Reagan. Unemployment in the middle of his term was higher than it is now.
This is either a lie, or you not knowing what you're talking about.

Unemployment May 2009 9.4%
Unemployment 1984-1985 7.3% (av)
Bureau of Labor Statistics Data

Economic growth 1982-1989: 3.425% (annual av)
Economic growth 1993-2000: 3.725% (annual av)

Uhm reagan took office in 82, look at your chart see how that squiggly line shoots down?

Jesus, were you even alive then? Ronald Reagan took office on January 20, 1981. Most 7th graders would know that.
 
CORRECTION:

Most 7th graders also know that 9.4 is more than 7.3 and that 3.425 is pretty close to 3.725.

Most of those people, I ignore.

I have a special place in my heart for Will, for whatever reason, so whenever I see his spew his BS...er, I mean....whenever I see him post, I go out of my way to make sure everyone sees just how much BS his post really is.

Of course, since I do this, he has me on ignore -- which is why you never see him try to defend his posts from my criticisms.

I don't need to defend myself from your crap, I report it.

Tell me:
Which forum rule(s) have I broken by exposing the fact that you were either lying or didn't know what you were talking about?

Oh -- which is it, BTW?

None that I can see. Keep up the good work!

Not that it IS work...I mean, it's just TOO easy.

Cease the personal attacks or there will be further consequences. Get back to the topic.
 
While the poll is an encouraging sign that some blind followers have come to their senses, it's still rather puzzling that there are people in this country who's education is so lacking that they never learned to do critical thinking or how to examine a situation with a mind open enough to see the reality of the consequences that will result from heir action and mindless support of something only because the idea came from a fellow liberals.
I prefer that conservatives not sink to the level of groups who rather then argue a point on it merits resort to personal attacks. And yes I do label lbirals as a group and "monkey" around with the title of the "Usurper in Chief" Obama but other than him I try not to get personal.
I believe it is up to those of us who can think for our selves to maintain a steady firm stance that reflects our values and try too educate those who have become victims of a system that has is over run with liberals who do everything in their power to expand their numbers with little or no regard to consequenes of the action as winning has become the only goal not the well being of the Nation or the people therein.
If these poll numbers are to improve in favor of the Nation and our people as a whole we must do everything we can to keep on message stick to the facts and avoid silly word games, and not let our selves be drawn into circular arguments, or led off topic by the tactic of obfuscation, or detracted by anything that is presented to take the focus off the truth and the facts.

Was it this same superior mental capacity and reasoned logic that inspired conservatives to elect George Bush two times? And then excuse and support all his dumbass decisions and "gut" reactions as if the rest of us were just too stupid to understand Bush's elevated intellect?
Yeh, let's stick to the facts. America just barely survived eight years of your party's great ideas and superior thinking. I think we all know how that turned out.
 
Right, no difference at all between John McCain, George Bush and Barrack Obama. Politicians are all crooked. What a shame the president has to be a politician, instead of an ordinary patriotic American like.....I don't know....Joe the Plumber.

Hold on there ! Are you by chance referring to the same Jose de Plumber who asked recently why certain Senators were not hung ? Joe himself wants the contract to build the gallows.

Whats funny is all the major polices are being kept in place. If you hated Bush then you should hate Obama x4 just for Afghanistan alone.

If you dont like debt or have any need for money then you should hate The current administration x8 really.

I know this is the current right wing mantra, but its just not true. Torture has stopped, troops are leaving Iraq, the recession has (knock wood) been controlled, health care is being addressed, tobacco is now regulated. It's disengenuous to point to issues that haven't been addressed and say "Obama is the same as Bush".

What were they supposed to do? Elect Al Gore or John Kerry!? There's a laugh.

Fact is, you big-party stooges keep sending us the same elitist, statist slicksters over and over again.

Both parties are doing everything in their power to maintain and expand their control over this country and its citizenry. Only partisan buffoons like yourself are incapable of seeing this.

The damage that was done by the fact that the torture stories came out is already taking effect so stopping torture is marginal.

The recession is supposedly slowly down but we need an entire quarter to see it the trend is sustained.

Not sure how much if any benefit "regulating" tobacco will produce. That will take 25 - 30 years minimum.

Most importantly the trroops are actually not leaving Iraq yet they are leaving the cities. I could be wrong I was wrong once- last milenium.

Well it just got a little bigger....big deal. Show and flash for your entertainment.

That could be true but no one is doing that.


Turn off the sound coming out of their jabbering mouths and look at what they DO....

Sorry to disappoint yet another Granola Liberal but Bush was elected and re-elected because the alternatives both times were frightening. Al "I invented the internet" Gore claimed to be an environmentalist and had critically needed water drained form reservoir in the middle of a drought for a photo op on a canoe. Al "stiff as a board" Gore was not then nor is he today any better a choice than the wholly un qualified "Amateur in Chief" Socialist Obama. Then we have Kerry who once again was a liar and turned into another blame America firster. And, I much to your surprise I'll bet did not and do not like Bush or many of his policies including the invasion of Iraq and the pushing and passing of the Misnamed Patriot Acts I and II.
What we need them and now is a Statesman who can put the needs for security, and the needs of the people before the whims of any goofy party. We need someone who can weigh those needs with balance them with environmental concerns and not rely on lies like Obama has done repeatedly to get his way on the Cap on Trade, Growth, Jobs, and any hope of Economic recovery. Sadly John McCain is not that person either.
Lack of ones own ability for Logical thought should not be projected onto others. And the use it does not always insure perfect results. When all factors are taken into consideration voting for the lessor of two dumb asses is not an ideal situation but we did survive the Bush years. However at the rate the Usurper in Chief is moving us toward a Socialist Dictatorship we may not survive if steps are not taken very soon. We have seen in recent days how Obama wants another want to be Dictator in Honduras returned to power after he was removed under the Constitution there by their Supreme Court. In doing so he has once again aligned himself with Hugo Chavez. Come on it's not racket science to see what's going and that it's time to stop fighting because party affiliations and start looking at the big picture and what is good for the Nation.

So I was a year off.... No need to pout and throw a tantrum.


How does that change the fact you were completley wrong and posted evidence that helped me? :2wave:
 
Thank you Rev, I rest my case using your own words.

By the way, I did not say it was too early to criticize Obama(almost missed that, very slick if extremely dishonest of you).




Are you feeling ok? You seem to be getting nasty with me latley. :lol:



Chill, this is only debate, don't get all Will Rockwell on me! :lol:
