9/11 the best thing for bush?

[southernleftylady]

your thoughts and what would repugs say to that?

[indepat]

1. Reportedly by his own words, his trifecta

[Ron Green]

2. He had nothing going until then except for the neglect of the Middle East,

and endless vacations. So yeah, I guess it was his windfall.

[zanne]

3. Right before 9/11, his poll ratings were 48%

So yeah, I think it's safe to say 9/11 was the best thing that could have happened to him.

5. whats his ratings now?nt

[Telly Savalas]

7. Without checking a poll...

I'm guessing they're still about there or perhaps a tad lower. However, his ratings skyrocketed after 9/11 and made a slow descent ever since. Without 9/11 and the ensuing rallying around the flag, the focus would have remained on his domestic policy which would not have been favorable to the GOP.

8. oh yeah i remember them skyrocketing afterwards...

i was just curious at the new numbers

[southernleftylady]

13. here are his numbers

http://www.pollingreport.com/BushJob.htm
9/7 was 51%
9/21 was 90%

[Vincardog]

4. His finest hour. Planned and executed to defuse the fact that he was

illegally appointed by the Supreme Court. His poll numbers were down so he attacked US.

Ask the War Time pResident the difference between Iraq and Vietnam.
He had a plan to get out of VN.

6. When seeking out suspects for a crime, don't they usually look

hardest at who benefits most? The Bush junta comprise the prime suspects for that atrocity, IMHO.

[EC]

9. Yeah, I'll bet Karl Rove had an orgasim... n/t

[Initech]

10. Best thing for Bush?!!?!

It's probably the only thing that saved his political career from going down the toilet.

[VOX]

11. He is the single greatest beneficiary from that unspeakable tragedy.....

As a figurehead, of course. The *real* beneficiaries are the PNAC boys, who got everything they hoped for, as specified in black and white, by having their "Pearl Harbor-like event." :grr:

[brettdale]

12. 9/11 was the greatest thing that ever happen to Bush in his life

He could sell Iraq. He could make it that if anybody ever said anything bad about him, they would be unamerican, the whole mindset of people changed, he doesnt need another 9/11, no major media group will speak out.

I firmly believe that Laura will run and Jeb will run, and thats the way the Carlye group wants it, the Bush's are big business favourtie little puppets.

The so called christain people will always support Bush, because his pro life stance, although they dont give a sh*t about war, dropping bombs is okay, as long as not on good clean white christain countries.

Under Clinton, America respected all people of all races, cultures and didnt care if someone was gay or not.

The rest of the world loved America under Clinton because he respected other peoples countries and way of life, that is whay Clinton got a standing ovation everywhere he went on his NewZealand
tour in 1999.

Bush has done so much damaged to America reputation overseas, you have no idea, the haterd people have for him.

[Disturbed]

14. Iraq &/or Afghanistan invasions

without the 911 Attack? I think not!
