It is, indeed, but it's hard for me to understand why ABC or you actually think it's newsworthy. Bush is irrelevant. The disapproval ratings for Congress - lower than the ones for Bush - should be receiving the attention since many of those idiots are running for re-election. I note that both candidates for President are members of Congress.

But doesn't congress always rate really low, yet incumbents get re-elected much more often than not? The reason is simple... everyone thinks everyone ELSE'S representatives are the ones to blame. They like their own guys. Or don't know how to vote outside of the party their area decided they "should" vote for. Hmm, and two senators are running for President. Fascinating.
He said, "Boy I'm just old and lonely, But thank you for your concern, Here's wishing you a Happy New Year." I wished him one back in return.

Bush's Disapproval Rating Highest in History[^] ...and well deserved.
"Just two presidents have had lower approval (Richard Nixon and Harry Truman) than President Bush, and none has had higher disapproval in polls since 1938. " The sentence immediately following the leader you quoted. I guess nothing before 1938 counts... And congratulations on once again demonstrating your mindless partisanship...

Worst ever is newsworthy in my book.

Please feel free to find pre-1938 Gallup polls to support your mindlessly partisan defense of Bush. ;P

An excellent article from the WSJ Excoriates both parties pretty much equally ending the article with: "the Members also need to act to redeem their own reputations, to the extent they are still worth redeeming."

If so, it is a record which is unlikely to stand for very long. If Obama wins, with nothing to rely upon but his history of socialistic, anti-AMerican radicalism, supported by equally radical leadership in congress, I'm pretty damn sure that in four years no one will even remember Bush ever existed. It should be a lot of fun to watch as AMericans begin to comprehend what 'change' really means.
Chaining ourselves to the moral high ground does not make us good guys. Aside from making us easy targets, it merely makes us idiotic prisoners of our own self loathing.

It's good that you are here as an example of undeviating non-partisan objectivity.

I never pretended for a moment to be non-partisan. It's utterly meaningless. I believe in certain things and I'm all for getting them. Non-partisan, bipartisan - it's just code for do nothing, take responsiblity for nothing - a cop out. You can keep your 'A pox on both their houses' affect - I'll have none of it.

But all we ever hear about is all the things you don't believe in and all the people you hate. You and Ilion appear to be opposite sides of the same coin. If what I believed in made me as grumpy as you, I'd re-examine my beliefs.

Untrue, of course.
Oakman wrote:

No. What this shows is your failure to take your blinders off. I've never expressed hate at all. That you attribute this to me shows you are not listening and simply putting up a strawman in my place to attack.
Oakman wrote:

Another false attribution. When you have something of substance to say to me, I'll be happy to listen.
