"Jesus Christ's approval ratings were not very good either."

OMG there are some dopey, kool-aid swilling, vicious and/or misled people out there in America. Here is some of the great advice posted on CNN's reader's forum on politics. To be fair, some of the advice posted by folks on CNN's site was very good. But I was floored by some of the posts. These are excerpts:

Your e-mails: Advice for the president
CNN.com readers offer ideas on what Bush should do

(CNN) -- Just a year after President Bush won a second term in a tight election, his administration faces plummeting approval ratings and troubles including rising energy prices, an indictment at the White House and waning support for the war in Iraq.

CNN.com asked readers to pose as advisers to the president and offer suggestions for ways the administration could get back on track. Here is a sampling of those responses, sent in by e-mail. Some of them have been edited for length and clarity.

If you were like Clinton, I would do whatever you could to raise them (the poll numbers) right or wrong. But you are not (thank God)! Therefore, just keep doing what you know is right. Jesus Christ's approval ratings were not very good either.

Approval ratings are a waste of time. Most of this country is all too eager to blame someone else for their problems. The president needs to choose his advisers carefully, weigh their advice and then follow the path he knows to be true and just. We as the country need to stop whining, to be thankful for what we have and show the world we can be united in the good and the bad.

Stop being a puppet of those intellectually superior than you are (Cheney, Rumsfeld, Rove, etc.). They pretend to be loyal subjects when in reality they are pushing their own agenda by using you as a rubber stamp. Study history.

President Bush should ignore any distractions that keep him from pursuing to keep our country safe as well as helping other countries. Let's not forget "terrorism" and 9-11. (To} Pull our troops from Iraq when the job is not done is a slap in the face for all the soldiers who died for this country as well as the brave soldiers who are still fighting. Terrorism is the worst fight ever encountered in the face of the earth. The USA stands for "FREEDOM FOR ALL" and that's what my sons who are in Iraq are fighting for "Freedom". Democrats and anyone that undermines our mission to fight the terrorist should just stay home and shut up and let our president do his job... How many more lives have to be terrorized? How many more beheadings? How many more children have to die? Let our troops do their job bravely and maybe none of you anti-President Bush persons become the next victim of terrorism.

Anyone who doesn't like it here should be escorted to the borders of their country and told to stay there. Americans for America, Bush for America -- that's my plan.
