Why do you still support Bush?

I am very much afraid that "Blue Vined Throbber" is falling behind on his reading. Why only today, in Rasmussen Reports, President Bush was listed with a 40% Job Approval Rating.

Imagine, from Mr. Imposter's "29" to Rassmussen's "40" in only one short month.

what is a blue vined throbber? Sounds like a sort of prize rose or something....

I believe it is a "dick" and a rather appropriate name.

After much derailment....
.... many of the token conservatives participate in this thread, yet barely any of them have stated why they still support him (some of them unconditionally).
I do find that odd.

"Because he's a republican" would suffice if that's the minimum requirement for support.
I sincerely would like to know, in spite of polls, what he is doing, has done, or is about to do that garners your support.

Okay, I'll add to the bloody bait of this sharkfest ...

It's not so much that I support Bush, though I did vote for him in '04 after voting for Gore in '00, it's just that the Democratic Party has become such a caricature of what it once was. When it comes time to cast that vote, apparently most Americans just couldn't bring themselves to vote for the candidate (& his wife, Endora) who had flipflopped to the top of the heap of such a stinking mess of wacked-out losers.

Mine wasn't a pro-Bush vote as much as an anti-Kerry vote.

Having said that, I think a better question might be:

With such a pathetic, good ol' boy, palm-greasing moron in the Whitehouse, why haven't the Democrats gained the slightest bit of ground with the electorate in the past six years?

Let the waters churn ...

I said this before:

I don't support everything Bush has done or continues to do. I simply find him far preferable to the alternative.

Please note:No references to the Clintons or Kennedys so skip that tired refrain.

Care to answer the better question?

Why are the Democrats & their policies still so distasteful when only 29% of America supports the moronic buffoon?

Didn't think so. Bueller? Bueller?

Stop, stop. You've convinced me.

I'll be voting for Democrats from now on.

So ... when I happen to wander up to any building with a light on and demand my constitutional right to vote, should I identify myself or will they just know I'm another "fukin' moron" wanting to vote Democrat?

Perhaps those "fukin moron" Christians could ask those "rights & freedom-expanding Democrats" to protect their rights & freedoms as parents to say no to an STD vaccination as a prerequisite for kindergarten enrollment.

....yeah, I just went back through the entire thread and found nothing but anti-liberal vitriol combined with the promotion of your own agenda.
Perhaps when you wish to speak intellectually about the topic, you'll join us....

Neither is Frank a conservative.... or a right winger .... or a Republican.

No thanks, Candidone. "Speak intellectually" means incessant liberal whining among liberals with frequent high-fives by liberals interspersed with backslappings by liberals and, of course, the required eye-rolling by liberals which somehow establishes their intellectual superiority over non-liberals ... A.K.A. ... the forementioned "fukin morons."

Support for Bush continues because there is no acceptable, plausible alternative from the opposing party.

Did you get it that time?

Honestly, I expect more from you pointy-headed smarty pants.

Discuss the topic or be gone.

Operating under the assumption you really are as dense as you appear and ignoring your prickish behavior, I will simply remind you of the two issues which consistently keep Democrats out of power in the United States:

1. Abortion - Although the Democrats sugarcoat this as a "reproductive rights" issue, most Americans see this for the bullshit it really is. Abortions tend to kill babies. Most people like babies. Personally, I cringed at the sight of the crazies at the Dem convention wearing the t-shirts bragging "I Had An Abortion!" (One more time in case you missed it, Candidone -- Babykilling is not a big vote-getter outside of liberal circles.) I continue to support Bush because I respect his position on this issue. I hope he has the opportunity to name another Supreme Court justice or two during his final two years.

2. National Security - You seem to be up on the polls, Candidone. Correct me if I'm wrong, but despite the mess in Iraq, Bush still gets his highest numbers for national security, right? Could it be that Democrats are notoriously weak in this area and nobody wants to go back to the shell games Hussein played with Clinton and the U.N. inspectors throughout the 90s? Could it be that when push comes to shove Americans just don't trust Democrats with the issues that matter? I continue to support Bush because in the area of national security the GOP acts in the best interests of this country while the Democrats consistently come off as whining do-nothing weenies.

CANDIDONE: As I've said earlier (and the U.S. electorate has said twice) I continue to support Bush because the opposing party offers no viable alternative.

I admire the pro-life crowd who sees no inconsistencies in supporting both abortion and the invasion of a sovereign nation and the mass slaughter of innocent civilians for entertainment (Haditha).

Phuck the "opposing party"...and phuck the "no viable alternative" silliness...

...anyone still supporting the moron, George Bush, has no self-respect...

I asked a simple question, no need to get your feathers ruffled.

I respect your position on abortion as much as I do the pro-choice individual.
I just wish there was some consistency. Life is either inherently valuable, or it is not.

[Care to provide me with a link that supports this contention?
...and qualify what "highest numbers" means to you.
Is it "higher than his job approval rating", or is it "high as in acceptable by any ruberic used for assessment", or is it "high enough that it is unquestionably supported by the majority of Americans"?

That's as hilarious as Brandon claiming that he supports Bush because of his stance on tort reform.
Clearly a hot issue here on A2K.
