Preliminary reports at least say that he has brought in 6 million dollars in one day as a result of teaparty07.com.

I guess that vote for Mickey Mouse isn't as pointless as a vote for Ron Paul.

A blimp ;P

This is why I'll be voting for the man in my state's primary on February 5. I would love to see him on the Republican ticket. Granted, I may or may not vote for him in the general, but could you imagine the debates before the general election? It would make for some fine television :D

Do people just want Bush out or is he well liked among the American population and just seen as a buffoon to the wider world?
Maybe he does alot of good that us outside of American don't see....maybe :p

No, he doesn't. Yes, we want him out. January 2008 can't come soon enough.

I think it's been quite a while since his approval numbers have been anywhere near 50%. Anyone know where those numbers can be viewed?

Indeed, January 2008 is just a couple of weeks away... not sure if that is really what you want, but I do understand!
O:)

Wishful thinking - Freudian slip?

Don't you mean 2009, since 2008 is an election year?

If his supporters come out and vote in the primaries we can easily see Ron Paul at the front of the republican ticket...

Funny...i remember this same exact conversation about Nader years ago. Ron Paul is as likely to be on the Republican ticket as I am...don't y'all remember we really have not too much to do with our own elections? :p

Apathy is non-productive, even if the odds are long.

One can only serve two terms (8 years) as President of the United States. We just have to hope the "buffoon" doesn't make things worse, or get us in any more trouble for another year.

Care to wager on that? Which one of us do think will and laughing on Nov 5 2008?

Mickey Mouse it is....

I'm hoping for a McCain-Thompson ticket myself, but who knows.....

Some of us just hope that people like dacameraman will refrain from dragging any political thread that pops up in these forums down the "anti-Bush" tirade road. I'm not sure if that is possible though.

Nice language. You just proved my point why we shouldn't have political discussions here.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion. Even a pinhead like you.
