Who would you rather BBQ and have a beer with? W leads 50-39%
http://www.khou.com/news/local/politics/stories/khou040526_mh_poll.1fe111556.html

HAMDEN, Conn. — Who's more of a regular guy? A national poll indicates President Bush has the edge over Democratic rival John Kerry in that category.

The poll says more registered voters surveyed would rather have a barbecue with Bush than Kerry. Half picked Bush as the man they'd rather flip burgers and drink beer with, while 39 percent chose Kerry and eleven percent didn't know or wouldn't answer the question.

More voters surveyed would also trust Bush to run the family business. But they were evenly split on whether they would rather have Kerry or Bush teach their kids. They were also evenly split on who to vote for.

4. Personally
I'd rather have a BBQ with Kerry, because I may actually learn something. Besides, Dubya would drink all my beer.

7. Absolutely asinine, meaningless question
Who gives a flying fuck who people would rather have a beer with? I want to know whether someone will lie us into war, bankrupt the Treasury, and make us appear so weak and ineffectual, that after only eight months in office we sustain the greatest attack on our soil since the War of 1812.

But if it means Bushler can get back to his drinkin' sooner rather than later, let's retire him to Crawford, pronto.

9. How pathetic
Plus or minus three percentage points? What was the breakpoint for realistic polls? Two I think?

:grr:

Nice that even the numbskulls who'd rather have a beer with the worst president in history know better than to vote for the loser, or let him near their kids.

10. evenly split on if they'd have Kerry or Bush teach their kids?
You have to be freakin' kidding me? What on earth could any kid over 3rd grade hope to learn from Bush*? Insane. All he could hope to teach is aggressive behavior, poor work ethic and how to lie, cheat and steal - oh, and how to stick firecrackers up a frog's ass.

20. The pollees must not know W very well-run your family business?
What like Arbusto and Specter 7 and Harkin? They weren't actual Bush FAMILY business just his daddy's friends businesses. The only "family business" W ever ran was CaterAir which was of course a Bin Laden family business until they gave it up to join the Carlyle group. Oh yeah CaterAir ended up heavily in debt, W can't even get peanuts delivered correctly.

45. OMG W is responsible for the airline pretzels!!!!!!!
The pretzels must not have been very happy about it 'cause I think they sent one of their agents after him. *

I know the peanuts are no longer because of peanut allergies.


* I in no way mean to threaten the President nor am I implying that any such thing did occur or should I was just joking.

15. good god!
"More voters surveyed would also trust Bush to run the family business."

Don't these dumbasses KNOW the history of this man? How we ran his own businesses into the ground and looted his investors (just like he's looting the country)? Don't even get me started on how he screwed people to build his 'gift from the taxpayers and landowners' stadium in Arlington.

I wouldn't waste ONE SECOND of my life on this worthless piece of shit. Not for food, for beer, for fripperies, NADA.

Even Carlyle tossed his sorry *ass OUT. He's their "frontman" but that just shows you the level of contempt in which they hold YOU and YOUR BEST INTERESTS.

21. On reconsideration
I have to say that it's appalling the lengths some polls will go to so that Stupidhead can win. I propose a couple more questions, so that Bush can look like he's beating Kerry:

Who would you rather see on the business end of a Taser?

Which candidate causes you more indigestion?

23. Thank GOD for NASCAR dads and their manner in picking presidents which
is at LEAST as discriminatory as the manner in which they pick the blond they want to boink in place of their wife!
Thank GOD for beer drinking, pool shooting, burping ,farting trolls picking the leader of the "free world" based on qualifications that anyone with the intellectual agility of a small fucking soap dish can have.

Thank GOD we don't bother to pick leaders based on ACTUAL principles consistent with sound policy, good government and world leadership.

This Memorial Day as we recognize our war dead...thank GOD we are stuck with leaders chosen by these thoughtless fucking morons....a leader who is more than happy to recognize our war dead as long as we don't show the coffins on TV.....

Thank GOD for the looting of the US treasury, the stock market and the shipping of jobs abroad to countries without labor laws nor respect for the environment based on this voting pattern.

Thank GOD for the parade of fucking horribles that has sacheted down the world stage ever since NASCAR DAD picked this fucking moron running the country based on the appeal of his fucking alcoholic behavior.

Happy Memorial Day everyone!

Think I gotta go HURL now :puke:

26. Actually, imagine how much fun it would be to watch Bush
and all the moronic stuff he always says/does. I'd have a video recorder recording for future generations all his idiocies.
Otherwise, future generations would never believe us that someone like that was President.

I wouldn't be able to eat anything, though. I would puke just looking at him. :puke:

27. Neither one of them
I have no desire to spend time with either one of them. Even in a social setting, I don't think I would enjoy spending time with either one of them. Howard Dean and Al Gore would be much more to my liking.

How else can you explain the phenom that average Americans think that a blue-blood, oil money, Skull & Bonesy, Yaley, green golf pant wearin', elitist, multi-millionaire, east coast old money bastard like Bush is a GOOD OL' BOY?

39. "trust Bush to run the family business"
HOW many times have his businesses gone belly-up? Try every time.

What I find especially funny about this is that Chimpy's ACTUAL friends are all the Bin Ladens, Chalabis and Ken Lays of this world.

and go for a bike ride, but I don't know how much HE'd enjoy the experience!

This "regular guy" horseshit is so much media crap...the silver-spoon sumbitch never barbecued his own burger in his fucking life.

And people would trust Bu$h to run their family business? What family business, the Cosa Nostra? Stupid bastard couldn't find oil in Texas and he traded Sammy Sosa. You'd want THAT running your family business? Right into chapter 11, he'd run it, just like every business he ever got anywhere near.
