56% of Americans think bush is too Cocky, 52% think he's a Damn Liar
http://www.nydailynews.com/front/story/334939p-286050c.html

WASHINGTON - One of President Bush's most attractive traits has been his reputation for straight talk, but a new poll yesterday found that fewer than half of Americans think he's honest.
Only 48% of respondents to an AP-Ipsos survey think he's honest, while 50% do not, the poll indicated. That is a five-point drop from January, when 53% of Americans thought Bush was an honest President.

Moreover, some 56% of Americans think he's too cocky, up from the 49% in January who said they view Bush's confidence as arrogance.


-----all the traits that we loathe in people, bush has. yet there he stands, larger than life, fully insane, totally dangerous, laughing at us from the hog farm.

i sure miss that lyin' bill clinton, don't you?

1. When Clinton said "I feel your pain"...damn, I believed him.
The wonderful thing about Clinton was that he has such empathy with people. Hell, even seeing it on television, I picked up on it. And it's not bullshit...I believe that Clinton genuinely cares about ordinary, working class Americans. And there isn't an arrogant bone in Clinton's body. I saw a self-possessed man, sure of himself. But that's a far, far cry from the blind arrogance and cockiness of Bush.

I'm glad Americans are beginning to see the destructive arrogance of Bush. Couple it with his genuinely scary "God is on my side and I'm working as a agent for him" religious beliefs tied to a ultra right-wing agenda...and it's still terrifying.

6. That on scene in Primary Colors where Travolta is
in the coffee shop talking to the semi literate kid behind the counter..... That was real Bill....

That scen always makes me tear up...

The reason the GOP hated Clinton so much is that he was regular folk made good and since they see that the only way Americn people from poor stock can rise inthis country is through cheating and stealing and coniving, the capitalists model, they can't believe anyone could be genuine in their feelings and empathatic in their outlook....

2. But is this proof of the lying media polls last summer and the fraud
that happened in November. Is this a change or are they finally letting people know the truth when it doesn't matter.

5. And 66% think he is "strong and likeable." I wonder what it is
about the arrogant lying prick that they like?

7. I love your phrasing!
" yet there he stands, larger than life, fully insane, totally dangerous, laughing at us from the hog farm." So perfect!

So why do so many of our spineless Dems continue to embrace his agenda, vote for his nominees, and echo his war profiteering?
