McGowan said he does not have any particular political stance on the Republican president, who has seen his approval ratings plunge in the face of an unpopular war in Iraq.

From the opening topic story

This is something that has been allowed to be repeated without a clarifier.

It is not the “unpopular war in Iraq” which is the real problem with Bush’s “plunging” approval ratings.

It is a number of things which interact with one another.

1) First and foremost it is the sources which influence people’s opinions which has affected these approval ratings polls, as well as who is answering the polls, and which questions are asked in those polls.

The main sources are still left wing, liberal, fifth column dominated news media outlets and Hollywood and the music industry, the very people who are most often in the limelight, the people who most of the public hear and see and get their own opinions from.

The media has been an outright enemy of President George W. Bush and the US war effort, taking the side of the Jihadis, the leftists, US enemies abroad and at home at every turn, and even going so far as to reveal security secrets on the front page of their news outlets (New York Times, and others.)

If all people hear from their Hollywood gods and goddesses, their hip hop and rap stars, and their news media are nasty, condescending, deplorable opinions and statements and even fabricated and bias attacks against Bush and the US, what can we expect the approval ratings to be?

2) President Bush and his cabinet have disappointed many of the constituents who have sacrificed, swallowed hard, and pulled the lever to elect him.

President Bush has not been as hard on Jihadi militants as he and the US could be, siding and befriending Saudi Arabia, and others, and not being more assertive with the paper tiger of the United Nations, a weak spined organization which is propped up by the money from US membership fees, but which is a haven for terrorist and dictator run states.

Bush betrayed and betrays us all with his non-border security stance, or, if you prefer, his open borders, amnesty for illegal immigrants-invaders who are killing, raping, and stealing from US citizens while jumping in line ahead of legitimate immigrants who wait up to twelve years to become legalized citizens of the US. These same illegals don’t care about the US, they merely come here to get what they can and still make the US into an extension of the country they came from.

3) Spending. Under Bush’s watch, government spending has gone through the roof! The Republicans-consertaves are supposed to be strong on smaller government and less spending. That is not THEIR money, it is the hard earned money of US citizens. Stop finding other ways to spend even more money, and stop giving it out to people who could pitch in and work like everyone else, and stop giving it to illegal immigrants-invaders who hate us but want to take what they can for themselves and turn the US into a different country.

4) Bush’s tax cuts and the economy and employment rates are the best they have been in ages, yet the media falsely claims otherwise. You can’t win with that kind of press!

5) The Republicans have been soft on lefties, liberals, fifth columnists, and the Republicans have caved in to the Democrats too often, while the Democrats do not reciprocate, but they do pull bait and switches, and they do lie and cheat.

Those are just a few for now.

Bottom line, Bush has let many of us down, but this low approval rating is not merely because of the war in Iraq, and it is largely due to the dominance of leftism in the main news and opinion forming outlets of Hollywood, the music business, and the mainstream news media biased to the left-liberal-anti war crowd.

A house divided against itself cannot stand!

A nation or peoples divided against themselves cannot stand.

The left wing, fifth columnists have taken a stance in which they work against the common good. If someone asks “What is the common good” in the case of the current situation with Jihadi militants, communists, secular progressives, etc., the answer is clear, if you say and act in ways which give aid and comfort and encouragement to our enemies, if you do or say anything which is meant to hurt our duly, and fairly elected Commander-in-Chief, if you work, do, or say anything which is intended to bring injury, difficulty, and pain to your fellow countrymen, to sabotage our soldiers who are fighting for our country, or do or say anything which puts other US citizens in greater danger, such as encouraging those who hate us, then you are NOT working for the common good, you are working for the common destruction, the tearing down of our nation and our way of life.

By staying and fighting against our country from the inside, rather than moving to a nation which you prefer, like Saudi Arabia, Iran, Pakistan, Venezuela, Mexico, Lebanon, or similar countries, you are part of the problem.

The looney toonn who wore the Bush mask and thinks it is funny to have Bush kicked, and the people who obliged him and “kicked” our president, and those like them with BDS, are part of the problem and, by their actions, they reinforce the city or house divided against itself image, which is broadcast to those who envy us, as well as broadcast to those who hate us and which to do us harm.
