Opinion Poll Rules
1. Statements of opinion must be thorough and thought out. Blatant exclamations of "BUSH SUCKS!!!", for example, will not be tolerated.
2. No flaming people while stating your opinion.
3. A new opinion poll will be posted weekly.
This Week: The attempts by the U.S. Congress behind a major push from the White House to create a Free Trade Agreement throughout the Americas has prompted rioting in Argentina and Uruguay. Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez led masses of protestors early Friday calling Bush "Mr. Danger" and America "the Empire". This is followed by a growing dissent in Bush among the American populace.
Do you approve of the way President Bush is doing is job?
My Response: No. I have never supported Bush or the Republican Party and I see their attempt to create a CAFTA as another step at imperialization. We failed in 1910. We don't need to try again.

no i disapprove of bush, for many various reasons, first if your remember bush justifyed the invading of iraq because he had information from the CIA, saying Iraq is purchasing Missles from North Africa.
The president the took that information and announced it to the public even though the CIA told him not to because they are just suspecting, but they are not sure.
But the president announced it anyways and brought a war on Iraq.
later they find out the north africa has no Weapons of Mass Destruction.
thats just one of the reasons why i disapprove of him.

The saddest thing about the national debt is it has increased almost $2,000,000 in the time it takes me to type: "eight trillion, fifty-six billion, eight hundred forty-nine million, fifty-eight thousand, four hundred nintey-seven dollars and ninety-seven cents in debt."
That's enough to buy a large house.

Bush only cares about the oil companies. his family owns some oil thingies and since he attacked the middle east oil has risen. he has no regard to what effects it will have in the future. he does not know what the hell he is doing, the economy is sucking the educational system has nothing to do with learning (no child left behind) and people are loosing money to the rising oil prices. we are so screwed. i think we should assassinate this guy before he screws us over more.
i also blame the american people for voting for bush. just because you are republican doesnt mean you should vote for bush. we have dug our own graves

[center]I don't think he totally understand how important his job is. How many other presidents have spent like 5 weeks on vacation? He doesn't seem to understand that he's the leader of one of the most powerful countries in the world.
Bush can't seem to think about the future. The things he's doing now WILL affect everyone terribly within the next 10 years. This country's gone to hell. The patriot act? Seeming lack of an economy? I'm seriously thinking about leaving.
Yeah, it's an unorganized post, but that's me. I don't approve of the job he, or anyone within the government, is doing. Don't be suprised if his two presidental terms are regarded as the worst 8 years in the history of this country.[/center]

Having a debt isn't always a bad thing. However, the current rate of increase makes it a huge problem.

That's how many conservatives think. They like the way it is; they don't realize that the current system doesn't work (cosumes too much resources, other lives are terrible, etc). Since they don't understand this problem and like the way it is, they assume the future will be the same. Obviously, it won't.

Well considering it's 8 trillion dollars, even if you cut out the entire military budget (which if I remember correctly is something like 500 billion a year) it would still take 16 years to pay it back. So it's not only the increase it's also that they let it get that high.

Clinton brought the United States into the largest surplus America has ever had, and Bush brought us to the largest deficit America has ever had.
America is leading a war against diehard insurgents. Diehard insurgents are not defeatable with weapons, but we use guns and not words anyways.
The world hates America, and bush in particular, for the war on Iraq, the withdrawal of america from the Anti-Ballistic Missile treaty (We start making nukes again, but we dontlet North Korea and Iran make nukes?!), america's refusal to sign the Kyoto Protocol, no action to start gas conservation... a lot of reasons.
Bush has totally screwed up American Foreign Policy.

George W. Bush... what will we ever do with this poor fellow. He does the best that he can to increase his country's power in economic, civil and military ways. But the problem is that he can't see both sides of the coin, he only sees the side with his face on it.
Sure Bush wants to promote free trade among all of America. Logically speaking, this will prompt Latin American Countries to buy tax-free American products thus decreasing the National Deficit that USA has. But what he doesn't see is that if this happens, Latin American countries will grow much poorer because they aren't buying each other's products. So in essense, Bush will solve the problem for like 1 year only to have a bigger problem the next because no one will buy from him again. Another thing is that Bush wants Venezuelan oil, Hugo Chavez is putting some hefty taxes on it so that he can increase his economic power, all Bush wants is cheap oil to sell expensive.
I don't blame Bush for not trying, heck he is one the presidents that has tried the most to bring prosperity; he just isn't good at it.

Bush should not be in office. Literally, he is only in office due to a technicality by court order. His victory in Florida was decided by the Supreme Court, not the populus.
He has done nothing right. Much of his campaign support in 2000 came from promises to lower taxes. He followed through on this...and then lowered them again. These days he's trying to "cut down on federal spending", while there is a "war" raging in Iraq and the Middle East in general. How can you sustain a $780,000,000,000 budget cut and carry on a war overseas simultaneously?
He's lied through his teeth about numerous things, he states the obvious in every speech he makes, and his GOP cronies can't get enough of it. After all, they're out to turn this place into a damn theocracy. There is almost a Republican monopoly on the federal government: Republican President, Republican majority in both the House and the Senate, and most likely there will be a conservative majority on the Supreme Court.
They will never take responsbility for any of it, but instead deflect questions and accustations elsewhere.
