Jeb Bush for prez "08"

No genius, it means that you can't keep fooling people ( except for the purposeful dumb asses) but for so long.

I don't know who is more pathetic? Bush, or the people who still support him.

The previous polls probably had about the same margin of error, they all have margins of error.

The unfavorable rating is higher than his favorable rating.

But even if it was about half even that is still a lot of Americans disapproving of the President. Half cannot be defined as the loony fringes of the left as has been said these last few years about any criticism of the President in the past.

it is more important to stop that gay couple down the street from getting married than it is to elect a president qualified for the job.

The survey findings parallel exit poll results showing that moral values is a top-tier issue for voters. But the relative importance of moral values depends greatly on how the question is framed. The post-election survey finds that, when moral values is pitted against issues like Iraq and terrorism, a plurality (27%) cites moral values as most important to their vote. But when a separate group of voters was asked to name ­ in their own words ­ the most important factor in their vote, significantly fewer (14%) mentioned moral values. Regardless of how the question is asked, the survey shows that moral values is the most frequently cited issue for Bush voters, but is seldom mentioned by Kerry voters.

In addition, those who cite moral values as a major factor offer varying interpretations of the concept. More than four-in-ten (44%) of those who chose moral values as the most important factor in their vote from the list of issues say the term relates to specific concerns over social issues, such as abortion and gay marriage. However, others did not cite specific policy issues, and instead pointed to factors like the candidates' personal qualities or made general allusions to religion and values.

I almost agree on both points and as a gay Repulsive, I mean, Republican voter who is not registered as a Republican I am sure this confuses the heck out of you since people think all gays are to prance into the voting booth in a line and with a swoosh in their step limp wristedly vote for Democrats only. It does not work that way and never will. The sad truth here for you though is I am not for gay marriage. Civil Unions yes, marriage no. In addition to this I find that Mr. Bush is very much qualified for his job and this has been repeatedly evidenced since he first took office in January of 2001. Hmmm... a gay man against marriage of same sex couples and for George? What is the world coming to?

Polls are garbage. Think about the historic inaccuracy of them. [..] Polls prior to Mr.Bush's re-election said the majority did not like him, nor would they vote for him and yet the final tally shows they did indedd vote for this good man, so the polls can all be tossed in the crapper and sent out to sea.

What the before polls said before the elections and the insane fact of George Bush getting elected this time rather than appointed tells me is that we have a bunch of illogical people in America who think it is more important to stop that gay couple down the street from getting married than it is to elect a president qualified for the job.

Re gay marriage: I came up with a solution to this issue that I'm sure will satisfy no one, but here goes:

I think the gov't should get out of the marriage business entirely. Let the churches handle it, and each church can decide who gets married. If you're gay and want to get married, then join a church that allows that.

What the gov't should do is assure that we all get the same rights and benefits. If a hetero gets health coverage for his/her spouse, then the same should be true for gay people. Call it civil union, call it whatever.

As I said, it makes sense to me, but I doubt it'll satisfy either side in this fight. Alas...
