W returns

From NBC's Ken Strickland and Domenico Montanaro
Former President George W. Bush made a rare appearance in Washington, DC, today.

He spoke at a ceremony on behalf of his friend, and former Senate Majority Leader, Bill Frist on Capitol Hill.

"It takes a really good friend to get me to come back to Washington," Bush said.

Please don't. No really please don't. I'm sure they have something for you to do down in Texas. Scrub brush removal anyone?

Sounds like a nightmare to me.

PIM, if you love W so much, I say we make him a special envoy to the middle east, and he can have Rumsfeld as his assistant. Then we'll see how much you love him.

A really good friend who really doesn't need to get re-elected.....so where are all the other really good friends clamoring for his support?

Here's the link to someone's ass...

Interestingly though asked who they'd vote for if George W. Bush was allowed to run against Barack Obama for a third term next year, voters only go for Obama by a 48-44 margin. One thing that number shows is a softening of feelings toward the former President. His favorability is now a 41/49 spread, and he's back up to 81% of Republicans with a favorable opinion of him. His approval numbers with them were much lower than that in the closing years of his term but these figures suggest that all is forgiven, at least with the base.

Yes because he has been in hiding and no sane Repub wants him around them.

PS...That's a thoroughly Repub site so you can sit your you know what and spin on that poll

    #6.3 - Wed Mar 2, 2011 5:24 PM EST

    Yes, you're welcome for the information and I am sure you'll now retract your insulting and totally incorrect comment.

    Because you are such a thoughtful and decent person, unlike those you disagree with...

    guess not..and I am sure you thoroughly researched this as you did your initial comment?

      I will not retract anything as that is WSJ (owned by Rupert) and I am just tired of you Repubs bullying people on this site and others. We are not going to do what you say and we are not going to let goofs like you who are liars or ignoramuses destroy this country.

      There really was a poll, that's really what it said...and as to being thoroughly republican..well

      ____________________________________________________________________________________________________

      Indeed, the PPP client list reads like a who's who of North Carolina Democratic politics. Publications that cited the firm's polls without mentioning any Democratic affiliation include the Washington Post, Politico, the Chicago Sun-Times, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, the Dayton Daily News, the Austin American-Statesman, AOL's Politics Daily, The Atlantic, The Hill, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, and local North Carolina television stations. One GOP consultant in the state notes that the firm's name echoes those of the Public Policy Institute at Western Carolina University and the Carolina Institute for Public Policy at the University of North Carolina, two genuinely nonpartisan educational institutions. The consultant speculates that PPP benefits from the perceived association.

      It's not just Republicans who question the firm's results and accuse it of playing favorites.

      The first line in your reply said it all (#6.2 - Wed Mar 2, 2011 4:20 PM CST) so you get nothing and I did research where it came from, hence the response. Well friend that's a shame ...either lead, follow or get out of the way. You say you aren't a conservative but you sure sound like one or are you just a lying so called Independent?

        Rc, PPP Polling is. DEMOCRATIC polling organization.

        They do the polling for the Daily Kos, for crying out loud.

        Just because you do not like the results. . .

          BINGO rc! You sure got the old bat's number!

          NJNB is a repeat offender or habitual liar, which ever you prefer! ;o)

          As for dangerfield - don't be fooled! It was only the end of last year he was threatening to knock out the teeth of certain liberal posters around here!

          He's working overtime to reinvent himself as some kind of 'moderate' - so far it's an EPIC FAIL!
