George W. Bush has finally caught Richard Nixon. It's been a long, hard race but I knew little George could do it. Watch below to see how Bush has caught up to Nixon:
This is a truly pathetic president that the American people are sick and tired of. Do the people in the media have any idea how much this country can't stand George W. Bush? Stop making excuses for him. He isn't some guy who is in the history books. He is in office right now. He can do something monumentally stupid at any moment.
Every minute Bush is in office we are on the precipice of disaster. And does the media express this sense of danger? Do they reflect the American people's frustration? Do they have any sense of what's happening outside of Washington? I don't think so. They are so busy trying to pretend that everything is normal that they can't see that radicals have taken over our government. People warning you about the Bush administration aren't the extremists, as they media would have you believe, the people inside the Bush administration are the extremists.

31. And Tim, who is this Thomas Gassett fellow? Your mothe and I have a right to know these things. We won't judge you son!

32. 24% of our people still don't get it.
But, It's the 76% that are wrong????
Very interesting.....

36. "Facist as in Corporations running over the government leaving this country ran by the very wealthy leaving the people at the mercy of their needs."
My Friends, this has been the case, well......forever.
Higher ups always want to divide a nation. Now with technology, these messages can be spread much faster and much more effective. We debate and get at each others throats while they do what they want.
Liberals can kiss my ass. Far right conservatives can kiss it too. You both are so far gone in your logic that it is pathetic. The worse part is, you have followers.
Bush might have some bad points, but he does have good points. Same as all the Presidents before him. But what is going on in Congress is down right criminal. They won't move any bills on purpose. They won't do anything just to be spiteful. And because of this, we the people are the ones that suffer.
Thank goodness Bush veto-ed the Health Care bill. All of us should be thankful for it. The requirement for the program was a household income of $83,000 a year. If you can't afford health insurance at that salary than you have problems.
Now, the real issue is that people that already qualify for the program in place, are not getting it. Congress should be figuring out how to fix that problem first. There are programs already in place to help the poverty in these areas and others. But at $83000 a year, you are not poor. That is not poverty.
Retarded.

37. Is that all you got Mr. Gassett?>>>
In my post I listed many things Bush has done. post 22, and stupid asked me if that's all I got?
Let's compare Bush's list to clintons. Post 22 for Bush, and taking credit for everything including good weather, and responsibility for nothing is clintoons list.
Clearly, Bush will be seen as an important president, and if hillary gets elected Bill will be remembered as the most impotent president in our history. Should hillary lose clinton will only be remembered as the second president in our history to be impeached.

38. 24. Bush has done more for women's rights than any other president? Iraqi women were free to show their face and work, or do you think all Middle East countries are the same.>>>
What does your screed have to do with the women of Afghanistan? Clearly, your challenge is reading comprehension.
The ecomony is better now than when Clinton was president? How many people lost jobs during the Bush years, yeah many got jobs back but with way less pay than they had.>>>
You spew your lies perfectly ... care to back even one of them up? That's not a liberals style ... is it? You spew but never prove anything. Nothing new here.
And you dare to compare the deaths in Iraq and Afghanistan to the deaths in WWII?>>
Ah ... yeah! Maybe the limp Lefty can tell us the difference?
We had millions of soldiers in Europe in that war, Bush undermanned us from the start. >>
Reality check. Liberals have undermined us from the start of the war in Afghanistan, and their rethoric is only getting more traitorous by the day.
Talk about mindless.>>
You're nothing but liberal clown with the intellect of a snow pea. You couldn't get to mindless on your best day. You need to try and use that mind first.
A leader? of who? YOU?>>>
A leader of our country ... of Americans ... or did you miss that point?
Ignorance is not bliss! But it's all a liberal has ... so they embrace it.

39. From: Tim at 3:25PM on Oct 18th 2007
9. #6 Alan is trying to be the clever idiot. Learn to use your spell check genius. Our President graduated from Yale and also attended Harvard. He was and is our twice elected President of the most powerful, and greatest nation on the face of the earth. Did you even graduate from high school? The jealousy and hyprocicy on this blog is laughable.
V -You were saying something about using spell check, Tim?
BTW, Bush was once selected and once elected. Just because the words rhyme doesn't make them interchangeable.

40. More hogwash? Don't you get tired of having nonsense spill out of your mouth?
Wally Lind at 11:28PM on Oct 18th 2007
41. Mr. Gassett, you give true meaning to the saying 'Ignorance is Bliss', your MSM, FAUX news quotes of the day have enabled you to endorse the 'Happy Face'. You and your partisan excuses.
bush is NOT my president, never was, never will be. To ignore, Blackwater, torture, warrants for wire-tapping long gone, Illegal invasion of Iraq (Saddam had nothing to do with 9/11, Iraq does not have WMD's stated YOUR president), so, please, Mr. Gassett, why are we in Iraq committing mass geocide?
You are a prime example of what the naivety of persons like you that choose to ignore the obvious, while accepting the voices of those that refuse to believe what their own eyes see yet will not accept. It is easier that way.
Mr. Gassett exactly what are you doing to aid this person called bush, I know what i am doing to stop the atrocities bush/cheney committed and are about to commit.
As per women's rights, sir, I do not think you were active with the feminist movement in the 70's because, sir, you are not a feminist.
The botts person, earlier post, It was YOUR bush that chastised the House in regards to Armenian Genocide. Get your facts straight. Do you know how many countries were involved in that in 1915, name more tha Ottoman's and Armenian's, name at least 2 more, okay? bush warned them of the dire consequences if they voted in favor of the genocide.

42. 23. Is that all you got Mr. Gassett?
David McCool at 4:49PM on Oct 18th 2007
Oh David you should not get this guy going. He thinks he knows it all. However, the only thing he really know how to do is to go out of his way to try and insult you and everyone who has a different point of view.

43. Cenk if you had a 24% share of the market you would still be on the air.
StonedPigeon at 12:05AM on Oct 19th 2007
44. MODOLEE you to are a puppet dancing and speaking another persons line of bull.Many people died, but was ot a genocide. There was no Genocide in Turkey in 1915 or there about. Read up on history, maybe a book that has more than 1 paragraph on the subject. Present Politicians have their own personal gains to achieve by going back almost 100 years in history to come up with a country to say committed Genocide. Gee, why not Laos, Burma.
Because those who are out against Turkey could care less if 1000 or 1 million died in Turkey in 1915.
Try speaking for yourself. UNLESS you have been having nightmares for the last 10 years about Turkey around year 1915, you are a puppet speaking for your puppetmaster

45. The reason Congress' approval rate is so low is because they AREN'T STOPPING Bush, not because they're not working with him. If Pelosi hadn't been stupid enough to take impeachment off the table and started impeachment proceedings, you would see the approval rate for Congress skyrocket.
