That wasn't Bush, that was the Republican Congresscritters spending too
much time playing games and not enough time actually doing what they
should have been doing, along with a bit of corruption.
So the Democrats took power, they are playing even more games, getting
less done, are even more corrupt, and have a lower approval rating than
the Republicans they they replaced, and an approval rating less than
have of the Presidents.

That was the voters getting fed up with the GOP, which Bush was the head
of. It was the voters getting fed up with GOP congresscritters which
never gave Bush a bill he didn't like. Well, once; a stem-cell research
bill.

Considering that what the GOP controlled congress got done was harmful
to the country, that's an improvement.

The democrats have less than a 15% approval rating? Got any citations
for that?

You have a reading comprehension problem.

Whatever, the current crop of Congresscritters are doing even worse.

As you are obviously far to the left of me we will disagree on this one.

According to the latest CBS News/New York Times polls Bush is at 30%,
Congress at 26%

No I read very well, although sometimes I have trouble understanding
lefties.
As for the rest... do your own digging, I really came here to talk about
cars.

How so? Got any examples?

As you are so far to the right of me, we may never agree on this one.

Well, 26% is quite a bit more than half of 30%. I can see why the
congress has such a low approval rating; they haven't kept their word
about getting us out of Iraq, and haven't successfully addressed the
corruption in the executive branch.

Well, if you had read it right, you would see that I said that Bush is
smarter than you. The reason that you have trouble understanding
"lefties" (by whom I think you mean anyone to the left of the far right)
is that you're in your own little world, divorced from mainstream
America.

In other words, you can't back up what you say.

Then why did you respond to the political digression?

Very possibly, and I expect he's smarter than you too (and with all
humility I'm no dummy), you don't get to be President without being
pretty bright, and the man DOES have a MBA from Harvard AND he flew
fighters for the National Guard. You just can't do those things without
some smarts.

Not hardly, I deal with lefties all the time and can probably argue your
side about as well as anyone on it, it's just that most of what passes
for liberal thought is divorced from reality and common sense.
