This statement is a great reason for not making blanket statements.

The reason? It's so completely and utterly UNTRUE! Do you think you speak for everyone whose "wallet isn't getting fat"? Reality check....You don't!

The approval rating for Bush listed earlier in the thread really says it all. An overwhelming major are in favor of Bush and his actions. You don't have to enjoy being in the minority, just don't try to bring us all down with you.

Moni, you are so obviously wrong. You want him to be an idiot but there is ample proof that he is above average intelligence and by becoming an F-16 pilot he proved he was physicly and mentally above roughly 75% of the population.

I know way too many who can't succeed due to one reason or another and all of them would rather blame the conservatives rather than themselves. They all want the Unions to do their suceeding for them, they want welfare to do their succeeding for them they all want to be victims, but they are not victims of George Bush, or the Conservative right, they are victims of their own inadaquacies. Jealousy of someone actually understanding how to succeed and earning money serves no one and helps no one.

Bush also scored decent grades in a creditable school, he isn't an idiot, he just believes in things that you do not. Try not to confuse differences of opinion for lack of inteligence.

You don't like his politics fine but it demeans you to slander him, admit that the only real problem is you don't agree with him. Is everyone who disagrees with you an idiot?

It's all about who they ask in the polls. If you asked my wife and I, and my 2 neighbors, they would find 100% disapproval rating.

You guys also think if someone doesn't like Bush that person must be a democrat. Well, I'm not!

That's why polls don't reflect the thoughts of 3 households. Random sampling anyone?

I don't think everyone who doesn't like Bush is a Democrat anymore than I think all those who support him are Republicans.

BTW, I'm an Independant.

I would like to interject a comment about "The Election" here.

I've become good friends with one of our members that lives in northern Florida. When we started e-mailing each other, I discovered that he actually lives in the next time zone over from me. In other words, when it is 8:00 o'clock here, it is only 7:00 o'clock there.

He said that this little known fact was part of what sparked all the controversy to begin with. Peter Jennings was gleefully announcing that Al Gore had "WON" the Florida electoral votes, when the panhandle part of the state still had 1 hour left to finish voting....and that portion of the state overwhemingly voted for Bush.

If the national TV media could have been just a "tad" more patient, there may have never been a controversy to start with.


You are 100% Correct I grew up in the panhandle of Florida, My family Still lives in the panhandle.

Where at in the Panhandle? I grew up in Crestview.

Thanx for the good word John. I can always count on the voice of reason from you. Best Republican on these boards (I mean it!)
