Who is surprised by the following?

Axis labels would help in the deciphering chores but I'm guessing your trying to show excess spending by Democrats. It's a laugh given the last 8 years and the results. It's even more comical that you clearly fall in the 20% that adore the biggest **************************** to ever walk erect. In my life Repubs have given me two crooked leaders Nixon & Bush, here's hoping the party of lunatic Christians is on the sidelines for a good long time.

I wasn't trying to communicate anything other than I found the data interesting and surprising.

Now, given the language and attitude that you exhibit, I am going to use my perogative to ban you from this forum.

Good bye and god bless.

Sorry the headings got cut off on this graph. These are Gallop poll approval ratings of the Presidents of the US from GWB back to Eisenhower.

I was surprised by some of the data.

While I do not condone the language or tone of ee3racing's post, I think banning him from the forum was inappropriate. The entire thread should have been banned. This forum is supposed to be about Boxsters. We need to keep it that way. If people start talking politics, they get hot at each other. This is natural and to be expected and as I read through it from the beginning, I wasn't really surprised that somebody started getting offensive. I think the entire topic should be deleted and ee3racing should be "unbanned" with a warning to watch his language in the future.

You know, I can take an a-hole being thrown around a time or two but when someone drops a comment like "here's hoping the party of lunatic Christians is on the sidelines for a good long time." that's going over the line. What does that make other party then?

Non-lunatic Christians?

One might point out that you were the driver on this thread.......with like half of the first 30 posts on this topic. Maybee you thought you were keeping it light and fun...but others obviously didn't. The best point, lets move on and get back to Boxsters.

This thread wasn't started in the best of lights, I don't agree with the banning either. I do understand where you stand Brucelee as far as SS and I'm with you on that, however I find it difficult to understand how anyone can bash the person that's supposed make America better when they've only been in office one day and don't know them personally enough to make the accusations they make, I'm of course talking about a variety of different people, here and in real life. Bush ran the country to what he felt was best for it, while I don't agree with everything or most of what he did I respect the reason why he did it, much like I will respect what Obama does, because he too will do what HE thinks is best for his and our country and anyone that's sensible enough should respect it aswell, whether they agree or not it has to be understood that not everyone thinks the same...

Bottom line as I see it is, just give the guy the bennefit of doubt, there's always going to be the radical ignorance present in those that just won't keep an open mind or care enough to know both sides, the ones that think there's going to be a magical savior that's going to think identically to them, no matter what party, and I trust no one here is that way... Anyways, talking politics gets no where, we might as well talk about abortion or religion because well be in the same predicament. Opinions cannot be supported by facts, because they no longer can be called opinions...

If anything, this thread should be locked and forgotten forever before it really gets out of hand...

PS.. I agree with SparkyCrash...

There is really no need to inflame the rhetoric and I was doing my best to have fun, make points, and keep away from trouble. I will own that failure.

However, there have been several private messages that I have received and one post I deleted that were not very nice, shall we say.

Nuff said. Lets move on.
