AP Poll: Bush Holds Lead Over Kerry
President Bush opens the fall campaign with a slight lead over Democratic Sen. John Kerry, an Associated Press poll shows, as voters express growing confidence in the direction of the country and the performance of the incumbent. Seven weeks before Election Day, the Republican is considered significantly more decisive, strong and likable than Kerry, and he has strengthened his position on virtually every issue important to voters
I think his bounce has officially turned into a roll.
You act like Gore would have had those terrorist stopped at the gate. Armchair QB.
Oh Rat, may I please post the next idiotic response:?::?: Well at least Gore went to Vietnam:razz::razz:
Sorry, but the responses are just becoming too predictable from him!:wink:
Well, aparently, you didn’t read the same report that the family of victims of 9/11 read.
The same family members that had to pressure congress to investigat 9/11, that led to the creation of the 9/11 Commission.
The same 9/11 Commission that Bush was opposed to. In fact, members on the Commission who were supported by Bush recused themselves from certain testimony.
The Families of those who died on 9/11 know where the blame lies.
Read what they have to say:
http://www.911independentcommission.org/
You chose biased families. These people have made no secret of their support for the Democrats, and their disdain for GWB even prior to 9/11. I could cite families that do not place the blame on GWB, but squarly where it belongs. If you are going to cite an example, please choose one that is reliable.
And above all else, please remember that this report was printed prior to us finding out about Sandy Berger stealing documents. Did you forget about that? I haven’t!
These are the families that got the 9/11 Commission started. Bushed dragged his ass for 14 months! If is wasn’t for these families, no one would have investigated how 9/11 happened.
Biased families.:roll:
Look here:
http://www.911independentcommission.org/index.html
So they never investigated?
Here’s aquestion family members are asking Bush:
Please explain your 14 month opposition to the creation of an independent commission to investigate 9/11 and your request to Senator Daschle to quash such an investigation.

http://www.911independentcommission.org/bush2162004.html
Here’s a couple more good questions for Bush:
What prompted your refusal to release the information regarding foreign sponsorship of the terrorists, as illustrated in the inaccessible 28 redacted pages in the Joint Intelligence Committee Inquiry Report?
What actions have you personally taken since 9/11 to thwart foreign sponsorship of terrorism?
Who approved the flight of the bin Laden family out of the United States when all commercial flights were grounded, when there was time for only minimal questioning by the FBI, and especially, when two of those same individuals had links to WAMY, a charity suspected of funding terrorism?
Why were bin Laden family members granted that special privilege—a privilege not available to American families whose loved ones were killed on 9/11?
Please explain why no one in any level of our government has yet been held accountable for the countless failures leading up to and on 9/11?
Hey, Da union Goon, when Kerry and Mrs. Ketchup release all their records and pay all the taxes liberals think the rich should pay, maybe we’ll listen to your rants, but for now, why don’t you go on strike?
C’mon, PCD…
Is that all you got?
Your President is a nitwit. He is clueless and you know it.
He dropped the ball big time on 9/11.
The 9/11 Commission Report proves one of two things:
Either Bush is an idiot, or he let things happen on purpose:

DG- some facts that you happen to ignore:
1. You have the choice to belong to a union- they still take the money out of your check if you don’t want to be a union member. I put my money into a charitable cause instead of the union. Then, when there were layoffs- I was the first to go although my qualifications were higher than anyone else’s.
2. Clinton bombed an aspirin factory- real effective for Monica’s headache I suppose.
3. Clinton was offered Bin Laden 3 times by the Sudanese. They would have taken him out- Clinton did nothing and let him go. Resultant end= 9/11.
4. I am reading the 9/11 Commission report slowly but surely with my magnifying glass. I agree with Peejz- my interpretation is different than yours.
5. The 9/11 Commission found no fault with either Clinton or Bush.
6. I only buy US made products- I have to buy less because they usually cost more.
7. Did you know that State Farm Insurance paid $679,000 to Clinton’s legal fund? This out of premiums that people pay to cover autos, etc. Nobody was given the option if they wanted to contribute or not- the next due date, our premiums went up.
8. Great for you to put your kids through college- respect you greatly for this. I worked and put myself through only to be paid less for being a registered nurse than an auto mechanic ($9.08/hr starting RN wage; Auto mechanic starting wage- $19.74) College did me alot of good.
9. Peejz deserves to enjoy life after working hard and sacrificing other things to get ahead in life. I was attempting to do the same thing but became disabled. Then, I had to fight for benefits that I had paid into for 30 years.
10. the tax breaks helped our small business tremendously and helped get more people into the job market with paying jobs. I feel that the minimum wage could be higher and there should be more tax breaks for small business to encourage growth.
That’s my take on things. I never vote for the party but for the individual that wants to fill the office and I feel will do a good job.:wink:
dg- did Bush refuse to release the documents or could a little thing like National Security have gotten in his way?
To answer your question, it was Richard Clark that sent the BinLadens and others out, but there were no flights grounded at the time. There was a wait, but non were grounded. He sought no ones approval, he did it himself. Those were his words not mine. Should we hold them accountable just like we did FDR? The only people surprised about Pearl Harbor were the boys in the Harbor that Day. FRD ignored the warnings.
The only nitwit here is Da union Goon. Bush is a pilot who can fly supersonic jet fighters and has a Harvard MBA. Does Da union Goon, Algore, or Kerry have either certification?
Ok dg, if Clinton’s building bombing was so affective, then why exactly DID they attack us again in 1998 and in 2001? I mean….you would think that if Clinton’s actions following the bombing in 1993 were as affective as you SAY they were….the 1998 bombing would not have happened right? And if his response to the bombing in 1998 was so affective, then Bush shouldn’t even have to WORRY about an attack in 2001 right?

Let me ask you, common folk.
I do try to buy only Made In USA, as well. But it is difficult. And when you consider the country the product you bought is made in, your job can go next.
Should you be paid more as a nurse or should the auto mechanic be paid less?
I’m glad peejz can enjoy her life, but she’s selfish. She got hers so fuck everybody else. (Read her preivious posts).
I sympathize with your disability, but what benefits would that be? Social Security? medicare?
It is a joke to think Bush is really concerned about small business’. Bush’s only regard to small business is how they can be devoured by big corporations. Sorry. No lobbyists for small business in Bush’s cabinet. But, if you have an oil tanker named after you, you’re covered!
Fact Sheet: Supporting America?s Small Businesses
President Bush recognizes that supporting America?s small businesses is critical to ensuring continued job creation. Small businesses create two-thirds of new private sector jobs in America, employ more than half of all workers, and account for more than half of the output of our economy. Because small businesses are vital to our prosperity, the President has taken important steps to assist small businesses and the hard working people they employ by reducing taxes, encouraging investment, and removing obstacles to growth.

Have a good read, dg.
And before you make assumptions about what lies within the heart and mind of peejz, perhaps you should ask her directly if she cares about anyone else. I’m pretty sure you’ll hear a different viewpoint…and who would know better about herself than peejz?
LisaS,
I didn’t say small business’ didn’t support Bush. I said you won’t find small business owners in Bush’s cabinet.
What is the percentage of new small business’ that fail? How do small business’ hold up to Wal-Mart, Home Depot, Wal-Greens, etc.
Compare small banks with large banks.
Even small business’ that make parts for big corporations go through multiple changes and owners in cycles of collapse, even though the big corporation remains unscathed.
Subsidiaries are good feeeder to big corporations. Someplace to lay blame or pay for mistakes.
I do not oppose small business. But the interests of the country under Bush lie within the Military-Industrial-Complex, with big corporations dictating US policy, at the expense of American lives.
I make assumptions based on selfish, narrow minded statements like this:
“…you fail to realize that employees like you are a dime a dozen. You are not needed and can and are being replaced. Whether or not you work has no bearing on the wealth of this country.”
Repubs talk about the virtues of hard work and making “right choices” or having ambition and earning a “piece of the pie”. But when workers have ambition and want a piece of the pie, you scream that we’re greedy.
Peejz thinks overtime is a perk. You can’t get any more selfish or greedy than that!!
The mantra of the Reagan 80′s was “Greed Is Good.” It must still be today.
The number of workers are far greater than the number of consumers. You guys made all the “right choices”, went to school, or know something about economics. What happens when there are no more consumers?
Here’s a better example. Henry Ford’s assembly line made so many new cars so fast that he couldn’t sell any more than the wealthy could buy. The average well-off in those days had two-three of Fords cars. His own employees could not even afford them.
So what did Ford do?
dg- I say what to people? No dg, I only say that o you! You remind me of a begger that constantly has their hand out. It is everyone else’s fauult that your life isn’t better. Maybe you did not catch my subtle hint, but just who is it that you think puts the new wings on hospitals, or provides the majority of the research dollars, or fills the bank account at shelters, funds the arts, donates to inner city schools? Let me give you a clue, it sure as hell isn’t your Union, or you for that matter. Ass:roll:
You are dg, all the confidence in the world won’t change that. You can be replaced at any time. Where do you get the idea that a company owes you over-time? Your Unions drove the costs up in this country. And so does your over-time. Don’t blame us if we like a product but can get it cheaper elsewhere. They cn do it in less time than you and at a better price. That lies on your back, not mine. Was it Ford’s responsibility to give everyone a car? They were considered a luxury item. They were also proto-types, and more expensive than mass production which made it affordable for many Americans that were not wealthy. Is that another amendment to the constitution that most of us are unaware of?
What you fail to understand, peejz:
If the people who build the wing of the hospital don’t have or can afford health insurance, who’s gonna use it?
You need to review your economics. Capitalism doesn’t work without consumers.
Again, your ignorance prvails…
dg..sorry to say but people do make dumb choices..there are alot of bartenders out there who work “under the table” and bring home close to a grand a week..No shit man..One grand a week..and they don’t have any health insurance..my fault? your fault? Nope…people want BIG MONEY and people only think of today, not tomorrow or that rainy day, blah blah blah..that is the DEM way..you’re just pissed because REP’s think of the future, know how to BUDGET..we don’t blow our “wad” on what we want NOW. I personally am not gonna hold the worlds hand here..You’re an adult, you know you got a family than you know what you need to do…you said peejz had the mentality of I’m good, screw everyone else..I don’t believe that for a second but why the hell should you even throw up her using her brain to make a case? I hate to break this to you dg..but there will always be the Haves’ and Have Nots’…sometimes we make our own beds.
