Well, okay, I can't be on long, so I will throw one poll at you. That alone should do it, but I have a feeling that you'll need more polls to satisfy you, so I'll come back later and give you more.

Actually Im pissed off that the DNC chairman and Gephardt are lobbing accusations at Bush and Cheney about their stock deals that were all done within the bounds of the rules that were in place at the time and yet refuses to explain how his bestest buddy at World Com. Managed to make him a cool 18,000% windfall from his $100,000 stock investment taking home $18,000,000 while the company is now in Bankruptcy.....

Well, as I said, if and when a Democrat is guilty of wrongdoing, I don't defend him. I didn't shed a tear today when I read that that crook Traficant was expelled. However, I wish that some of my more conservative counterparts would fess up to Republican wrongdoing.

And I suppose Bush selling 2/3 of his Harken stock just before it tanked when he was director, consultant, and company auditor doesn't look suspicious in the least to you? Or how about when he sold 10% of Arbusto (his first company, a total failure), which was worth $38,237.60, for 1 million dollars?? I wish the rest of us had it so good when our businesses went belly-up!

and Im still waiting to see clinton approval numbers that ever showed him as a 59% or better for reelection.

Well, hmm....you've just changed the topic, here. There is a difference between "Re-election numbers" and "Approval rating". To date, Clinton was elected with 43% of the vote and re-elected with 49%. Bush was elected with not quite 48% of the vote, and his numbers now (which I just showed you) say that only 47% want him re-elected. That doesn't top Bubba's 49%.

If, on the other hand, you're talking about job approval ratings, then right now, Bush is at 60% - Clinton left with 68%, and had some very high points, such as 81% after his State of the Union speech in 1999. I'll show you more of these later. In any case, Bush's current numbers don't top Clinton's by any stretch of the imagination.

Im am against any politician who uses the economy as an election time toy, anyone who abuses the peoples security for their own short term political gains needs to be run out of office

I'd have to agree, I really didn't care for the recent pay increase in the House which no one even questioned and Dick Armey defended. I mean, c'mon, guys, the minimum wage is so low that you can't hear the pennies hit bottom, and here these guys are, voting to give themselves an extra $5K a year. By the way, this was a bipartisan thing, so I'm not in any way only blaming the Republicans for this.

...and as I have said before...I am NOT a member of the GOP. I am a Libertarian...I just share more views in common with the GOP than with the Dems.

I have to wonder why you don't vote Libertarian, then. Or do you? I don't think you ever mentioned voting for a Libertarian before.

In any event, I hope the new Campaign Finance Reform Bill will work the way it's supposed to, so that third-party candidates are given more of a chance and more politicians actually have to stand up for what they believe in or risk getting unhorsed by a Libertarian or a Green or somebody.
