That would make Bush responsible for the murder of 4,000 American soldiers. See Vincent Bugliosi's new book. He's the guy who put away Manson.

please cite some examples please. So far all I get when I ask people for proof of the outrageous allegations or what George Bush has done poorly, I get the same old media garbage nd people calling him a cowboy.
H*ll, I like cowboys, maybe it's time to play cowboys and muslims.
The left, which includes most of the media, have been after him just like Gibbons since his election. All you provide for an alternative is someone Like Hussein Obama who tells us that we all need to eat less, give up our cars and be humble before the world.
See the thing is Russ, the usual mantra of "BUSH LIED PEOPLE DIED!" and "HALLIBURTON!" does not mean anything unless you give us some facts to back it up. Unlike your boy Clinton who eventually had to admit that he suborned witneses in a federal investigation, Bush has not committed any crime.

Even if I thought the state would be better off with Titus as governor--and I do because at least we wouldn't be a national embarrassment--can you be seriously suggesting the state ISN'T in bad shape?

And by the way, Sam, I agree. Republicans never have cared about how criminal or immoral their candidates are--look at who's president and look at who's running to replace him--and northern Nevadans will vote for anybody who can't find Las Vegas on a map. So, I have no doubt the serial adulterer/liar would be reelected. There are enough stupid people out there to do it.

YOU GO JIM!
PS, He's got a lot more support with the people than your stupid report shows.
THANK GOD, WE DIDN'T GET THAT BIMBO DINA TAXUS. Who wants to listen to that stupid dweeb?

Herb wrote on August 26, 2008 11:03 AM: Although I don't care for his cheating on his wife and his compulsive text messaging habit, overall Gibbons is an excellent Governor. I appreciate that he is not raising taxes when there is so much pressure to do so. I also like that he has the courage to cut spending. Due to the housing crash the Nevada economy would be bad no matter who the Governor was. By not raising taxes Gibbons is doing his part to keep this recession as mild as possible.

I think a large part of Gibbons unapproval has been the economy (his personal life helps though).

Guinn spent the state into oblivion but left just before the gates of hell opened in the summer of 07.

Gibbons biggest sin wasn’t to divorce his wife or do whatever with a girl in a parking lot, it was to be governor when the economy came crashing down.

The best thing he can do is work to keep taxes from being raised. Increasing taxes won't make him more popular and the Democrats would still burn him at the stake.

If the economy rebounds by summer 2010 Gibbons’ popularity will climb and people will forget about his other troubles. Nothing is impossible until 2010.

If the Dems want him out they better do it now. But then they run the risk of putting in someone into the governorship during a downed economy and raising taxes, meaning that they got rid of a Governor whose major problem was his personal life. So if the Dems get rid of Gibbons during the bad economy and get someone in to raise taxes then they’ll be hammered twice.

What the Dems will do will be to talk recall to bolster support for this election cycle and forget about it by 2009.

Russ wrote on August 26, 2008 10:13 AM: Gee, Jack, talk about calling the kettle black. Have not heard about the Bush administration? This by far the most corrupt administration in U. S. history. Look in your own back yard before accusing the Democrats of being corrupt. It hurts when the shoe is on the other foot. If you don't see it, you need a seeing a dog.
