What really caused Bush to lose popularity??
George Bush Jr. could not be the CEO of any major corporation in this country. He lacks the leadership qualities to bring diverse groups of people together. He lacks the ability to analyze a problem taking into consideration other points of view. He is totally incompetent to run Texas, let alone the greatest Democracy of all time. His election to the Presidency, although still in doubt, was the most absurd choice in our history. There were hundreds of men and women who could do the job and we the people picked him. We knew about his past problems with alcohol, his mediocre college record, and his failure as a business man and we still said, "Here take the job as head of the free world and see what you can do with it>" I think that a critical mass of horrible things happened that has caused the American people to feel terribly guilty that they allowed this man to be their President and even re-elected him. His appearance as a strong leader has given way to being a spoiled brat who has a stubborn streak. His advisers told him to act like a leader and I must say that if you were not born to be one, it is hard thing to do. I think there were three last straws. Terry Schiavo, Katrina, and Harriet Meiers. These events along with rising gas prices and loss of pensions and jobs by millions of people are driving the heartland crazy. Three more years....Unless Congress can neutralize his poison...instead of rubber stamping his policies. Either Democrats must be elected or Republicans must show some backbone and stand for something again.
The Republicans are loving this "caravan." So is it actually more likely that Democrats are funding it? For a few potential illegal votes?
Typical Trump folk hate/fear rhetoric... and the Sheep just promote it...
Why did republicans lose the 2008 election?
fox news and all their books appeal to their vocal but ever-shrinking base. middle america isn't fooled. every time one of them says something that the base cheers, they alienate more moderate americans. they delude themselves into believing that they don't need the moderate vote to win elections. moderates can be defined as the center two-thirds of the population. (see any statistical bell curve.) they're the only ones who don't see a problem with their math.
Democrats, what is your opinion of John McCain?
I am asking this question because I have seen a great deal of animosity directed at Conservatives lately related to their vocal criticism of McCain for his more liberal positions. Are you hoping that McCain will be the Republican nominee? Do you think that McCain would be the better choice out of the Republican candidates? If so, please explain your reasons why you feel this way. Be polite this is not intended as an attack.
