Bush Free Fall Continues in New Polls
Following up on a dismal CBS News survey earlier this week, two new polls by Fox News and CNN/USA Today/Gallup bring more bad news for President Bush. From the Fox News poll:
- 39 percent of Americans approve of the job Bush is doing, only the second time Bush has fallen below 40 percent in Fox polling
- 81 percent believe Iraq is likely to end up in a civil war.
- 69 percent oppose allowing Dubai Ports World to manage U.S. ports.
From CNN/USA Today/Gallup:
- 38 percent approve of the job Bush is doing, a rating “mired near its record low” of 37 percent.
- 47 percent approve how he is handling terrorism, “down 7 points since early February and a record low.”
- 64 percent disapprove of Bush’s handling of Iraq, a record high.
- 52 percent do not find Bush “honest and trustworthy,” tying November’s worst-ever mark.
UPDATE: Quinnipac:
Only 36 percent of voters approve of the job President Bush is doing, while 58 percent disapprove, his worst approval rating in a Quinnipiac University national poll and down 9 points from his 45 - 48 percent approval rating one year ago.

I thought Fox polls were something Hannity and Orielly slid down while drunk and thinking of young boys….
March 2nd, 2006 at 4:39 pmOkay, Get the popcorn and see how
March 2nd, 2006 at 4:39 pmthe wing-nuts spin this. I am sure
they are working on it as we type.
* The media has brainwashed the good people!
* It depends on the meaning of “civil war” AND
it is the media’s fault!
….
9 % of the world like Bush
91 % of the world hate Bush
6 % of the worlds population live in america
therefore 6% of the world likes bush
March 2nd, 2006 at 4:40 pm39 percent of Americans approve of the job Bush is doing,
Thats a really high count from Fox viewers WOW things must be even worse then
March 2nd, 2006 at 4:42 pmThis just in from Reuters: George W. Bush, and his accomplice Richard A. Cheney…”were arrested for pulling over a school bus, and sexually attacking the tramatized youth.”
March 2nd, 2006 at 4:42 pmSo?
“81 percent believe Iraq is likely to end up in a civil war.”
But civil war is a good thing, right? Right?
Also, I find it interesting that according to that poll, 8% think that ‘having an Arab-owned company manage U.S. ports would jeopardize national security’ but do not ‘oppose allowing Dubai Ports World to manage U.S. ports.’
So 8% of poll respondents think that jeopardizing nation security is okay, as long as Bush says so?
March 2nd, 2006 at 4:43 pmBush has an IQ of a bannana milk shake 0%
March 2nd, 2006 at 4:46 pm#7,
Well, you can never count out the BushCo Cultists.
March 2nd, 2006 at 4:48 pmOr maybe it comes from people who work at Carlyle?
I mean if you can afford your own army and don’t
live near a port…
Complete. Utter. Failure.
March 2nd, 2006 at 4:49 pmNow, roll over and play dead, Democrats. Play dead.

March 2nd, 2006 at 4:54 pmYou can be assured Fox wil blame the poll numbers on Clinton.
March 2nd, 2006 at 4:54 pm38% is one point higher than Clinton’s low point of 37% leading up to the 1994 elections.
Well, the GOP will probably lose Congress or come close to it. That’s good - Americans need to see what the radical left’s agenda is all about leading up to the 2008 elections. That way, we can have take back Congress and keep the White House in 2008!
March 2nd, 2006 at 4:56 pm#14: If you think this is the Radical Left, you need to get out more.

March 2nd, 2006 at 5:04 pmSammy, sammy, sammy.
Too true to reichtwingnutz form. You try to hijack threads you don’t like & spout unsupported (no links in your posts, ever)nutjob bullshit. Then you blame it all on democrats.
You missed one of your tried and tiresome cliches in the prior 2 posts. You forgot to tell us all how much we hate _____ or _______. You fill in the blanks. Doesn’t matter who.
March 2nd, 2006 at 5:09 pmanother nugget from russ feingold, this morning on cspan:
March 2nd, 2006 at 5:10 pm“forget compassionate conservative - at this point i would settle for a competent conservative.” (close enough)
What will these poll numbers ultimately mean, realistically speaking? It’s warming to see people are not happy with W’s actions, but I would be more impressed if the people who responded to these questions were writing and telephoning their elected representatives to take substantive action against W and company.
I have been doing so; it’s time that the rest of us did the same.
March 2nd, 2006 at 5:10 pm#17 - Did I not just post an actual vote count? Sheesh. You’re hopeless. Your leaders just rolled over an played dead. So I guess Harry Reid was wrong? Please address.
March 2nd, 2006 at 5:11 pm“Americans need to see what the radical left’s agenda”
Yeah, might be nice to get back to that “old” America — the one that stood for something decent.
Time to be the cure again, rather than the disease.

“38% is one point higher than Clinton’s low point of 37% leading up to the 1994 elections.”
Yeah, and 3 points higher than Reagans 35%, BUT… we still have 3 years to go!
March 2nd, 2006 at 5:18 pmNow if they had started working on Morning Dew or Jack Straw or even Truckin’, then I would have agreed with you they played Dead, but you just showed us a vote on a subject that has nothing to do with the topic of this thread.
hijacking hitler youth.
March 2nd, 2006 at 5:19 pmBush’s ratings are nowhere near the abysmal low rating of Jimmy Carter’s 28%.
Other presidents with lower ratings?
March 2nd, 2006 at 5:20 pmTruman
ANy bets on when the media will take these new numbers and use it to run more of their “Bush is again bouncing upwards” stories.
March 2nd, 2006 at 5:21 pmHaley barbour from Inbredsippi just said he loves the fact that his wife brings him small negro boys from demolished Katrina towns so he can fondle them. Republiklans are sick indeed!
March 2nd, 2006 at 5:21 pm#14:
That’s good - Americans need to see what the radical left’s agenda is all about leading up to the 2008 elections.
Ahem… Now I’ll type this three times so you can get it, Sammy.
The left doesn’t have an agenda.
The left doesn’t have an agenda.
The left doesn’t have an agenda.
Got it? I hate to do this, because it’s long and I know that the average conservative’s attention span is… did I lose you already, Sam?
If you have 5 minutes, 10 if you were educated in a red state, read the following (stolen from democraticunderground):
Dear Average Republican,
There is NO “liberal agenda” but the shared interest of liberals who want to see things get better for everyone. You, your parents, and the guy who bags groceries down at the corner market. Liberals want to see you with enough money to buy groceries, pay off your house, and put at least one fuel-efficient vehicle in your garage.
It’s not an agenda. It’s people hoping for the best for other people.
It’s about hoping that your Uncle John, who’s been farming the same plot of land for the last 40 years, doesn’t lose his farm because he falls off his tractor and breaks his leg and can’t pay his doctor bill. It’s about hoping that you have some options when your town’s biggest employer goes belly-up because it can’t compete with that textile factory in China.
It’s about making sure you get paid enough that you don’t have to take two or three jobs just to make ends meet. So you can spend more time with your family…so you can play catch with your kids, or take them fishing on weekends, or take them to the local swimming hole or municipal pool to teach them how to swim.
It’s not an agenda to want the best for people. It’s just humanity. It’s about being a good neighbor, even if that neighbor lives half a country away.
Ask a liberal what empathy is…it’s about understanding where someone else is coming from. And most of us try very hard, even if we don’t agree.
Being a liberal isn’t about making fun of God, or your beliefs about him. Most liberals take the Sermon on the Mount to heart. They try to live the teachings of Jesus, even if some aren’t sure he’s really the Son of God. Thomas Jefferson called him the World’s Greatest Moral Philosopher. You’ll find very few liberals who’d disagree with that.
It’s because of liberals that your ten year olds get to go to school rather than being forced to work in factories for spare change. It’s because of liberals that you can trust your workplace to be safe and free of unexpected dangers. It is because of liberals that, should you be injured at work, you can expect fair medical treatment and compensation for your lost work, and have money coming in if you’re laid off. It’s also because of liberals that you have reasonably clean water to drink and bathe in, and that the local swimming hole isn’t completely polluted.
That’s what we do. We try to look out for everybody. Even the people who hate us. We don’t have an agenda. We don’t take marching orders from anyone. We do what we do because we believe in people. We believe in you.
All we ask is that you begin to believe in us.

Russ hit it on the head, didn’t he? LOL!
March 2nd, 2006 at 5:23 pmcompassionate conservative? me thinks that they are a little too conservative on the compassion and quite liberal with my tax money when it comes to the carlyle cartel
March 2nd, 2006 at 5:24 pmCongratulations Bush haters. Day in and day out of Bush bashing by the liberal media is fiannly having an effect. I hope you are satisfied that at the moment we are on the verge of historically unique transformation of the Middle East into a society based on law and western values, the President canot get any recognition at home for his yeoman service to the humanity.
March 2nd, 2006 at 5:25 pmhe’s servicing who?
March 2nd, 2006 at 5:26 pmLooks like the less than symbol truncated my post.
March 2nd, 2006 at 5:27 pm…other presidents with lower ratings
Truman less than 25%

Clinton 37%

Very nice. I’ve copied that. Thanks!
March 2nd, 2006 at 5:28 pmHey nut job - yeah, that’s what you call it.
March 2nd, 2006 at 5:28 pm#31 Our President is a coward and a thug. With any luck, he will be deleted from the official histories of our nation.
March 2nd, 2006 at 5:28 pmI hope you are satisfied that at the moment we are on the verge of historically unique transformation of the Middle East into a society based on law and western values
Drinking the kool aid, again, are you, not a nut?
Yup, Bush and friends have somehow single handedly reversed centuries of culture, values, beliefs, and ideas in four years, right? By invading the region. And killing people.
Yup, I can see the area turning into America, Part II any day now.
Man, you are so far gone.
March 2nd, 2006 at 5:29 pm#28 - whatever. AND conservatives just want to kill people, right?
Conservatives are willing to take stands, no matter how unpopular, for the greater good. History usually judges them kindly (see Reagan and Bush 41). Liberals, on the other hand, don’t have an agenda that is forward looking or positive. AT least not today, they don’t.
Bush is suffering because he’s allowed loyalty to cloud his judgement - not because he is a lying war criminal. He needs to clean house and start fresh if he has a chance of surviving this term. Democrats, on the other hand, should be careful what they wish for. If they go too far, there will be hell to pay. This country is inherently conservative right now so don’t kid yourself.
March 2nd, 2006 at 5:29 pmre: roll over. hahaha we don’t need to roll over and play dead. We can watch you guys and see the real thing, you thugs ARE dead, but just not bright enough to realize it. And it wasn’t even murder it was suicide, you guys did it to yourselves. hahaha
March 2nd, 2006 at 5:31 pm“Conservatives are willing to take stands, no matter how unpopular”
…or illegal, or poorly-advised, or self-serving oir fundamentally evil.
“Bush is suffering because he’s allowed loyalty to cloud his judgement”
…such as it is, which is to say impaired, uninformed and generally speaking not on display.
“This country is inherently conservative”
Stop it — yer killin’ me. Better look at those numbers again, Sam — this country is inherently “fed up with Bush.”
March 2nd, 2006 at 5:35 pmDing ding ding ding!!!
Yes folks, we have the trifecta WINNER!
Finally one of the trolls said we HATED BUSH!
I’d been waiting for that one ever since Sammy signed on. Not a nut, you win a prize. You get 2-3/4 MORE years of King dumbya, even though he is admired by only a third of his subjects.
Sammy - Don’t go away angry. We know how hard you worked to get that prize so you get a BOOBY PRIZE!!! Well, actually you get the same booby prize as the rest of us. Which is 2-3/4 more years of King dumbya!
March 2nd, 2006 at 5:35 pmCongratulations Bush haters. Day in and day out of Bush bashing by the liberal media is fiannly having an effect.
Yeah, it’s a good day, I gotta admit. All the propaganda that we put out through our #1 rated news organization is finally taking its toll. Oh, wait a minute, my bad, that’s you guys.
Bush has the media in his pocket– print, radio and television, and he STILL has shitty job approval numbers. That is a truly unique accomplishment.
March 2nd, 2006 at 5:36 pmUnfortunately, phinga, you have left out the fact that their was a Fairness Doctrine that allowed for a small amount of truthful reporting from time to time. Given the same circumstances as, say Carter’s day, Bush would be at 18 or 19% right now, which he probably is, but since his greedy buddies own all the media, the truth about him has been well-hidden, until now. Watch his numbers fall, not because of any liberal media, but because if they don’t report what’s really happening, they’ll have nothing to report. You seem to shink that the majority of this country doesn’t hate this president for manipulating them, stealing from them, and allowing them to die in large numbers, repeatedly. Wake up. Carter’s 28% doesn’t really tell the story when you look at him now, hey? Bush will be a universally despised and hated American figure for 100 years, worldwide. And that is because of his supporters, not his victims.
March 2nd, 2006 at 5:38 pmConservatives are willing to take stands, no matter how unpopular, for the greater good.
Funny, Hitler took a stand for what he thought was the greater good and it ended up being unpopular.
I’m curious, Sam. How do you define the ‘greater good’? Are we using a Biblical description here?
March 2nd, 2006 at 5:38 pm#42: The liberal media may not control cable news, but they do control the radio waves.
Oh… wait… That’s conservative, too!
March 2nd, 2006 at 5:39 pmSo what if Bush doesn’t lose Congress? What will the haters do then?
It could certianly happen.
March 2nd, 2006 at 5:40 pmOh, and Sam, I find it interesting that a long, well worded letter that I posted in #28 is addressed by a single word from you: “whatever.”
Typical conservative. Don’t face the issue. Dismiss and ignore it.
March 2nd, 2006 at 5:41 pmSo what if Bush doesn’t lose Congress? What will the haters do then?
It could certianly happen.
Dude, Bush lost Congress about a month ago. In case you haven’t noticed, the rats are jumping ship.
March 2nd, 2006 at 5:42 pm#44 - America has seen the Republican’s agenda.
Bush (R): 34%-39%
March 2nd, 2006 at 5:43 pmCongress (R): 29%-34%
Liberal Agenda = Rollback the horrific Republican policies…
March 2nd, 2006 at 5:44 pm#47 I noticed that too. It’s typical, so it doesn’t surprise me.
March 2nd, 2006 at 5:44 pmBush has achieved nothing in five years.
Whatever happens with Congress, he will achieve even less for the remainder of his term.
March 2nd, 2006 at 5:47 pmConservatives are willing to take stands, no matter how unpopular, for the greater good.
Yeah, those unpaid-for tax cuts sure took a lot of courage to proose (free pie for everyone! Except your grandchildren!) And that war in Iraq–loved the tough way you framed that (it won’t cost money, it will MAKE money!). A draft? Nah! Social Security reform? Everyone wins! No details necessary! Just vote for the policy behind door #3.
The bravery of conservatives is exceeded only by their bedrock common sense.
March 2nd, 2006 at 5:48 pmI love it when trolls are cranky.
March 2nd, 2006 at 5:49 pmIt means things are getting better.
BTW, trolls? I am really sorry that your
hero is a zero, but it was clear from his
life that he was totally incompetent.
That you were able to hide it for so
long is something you should be proud of
in a weird America hating wing-nut
kind-of way.
the thing that shocks me the most, from the CNN/Gallup poll:
“The proportion who strongly approve of him has fallen to 20%, its lowest ever. The proportion who strongly disapprove has risen to 44%, the highest ever.”
March 2nd, 2006 at 5:50 pm#53: Grouping true conservatives in with ignorant (or stupid) Bush followers isn’t necessarily wise.
True conservatives believe in a limited government, fiscal restraint and personal responsibility. Bush exhibits none of those qualities.
March 2nd, 2006 at 5:52 pmOK- how about this?
March 2nd, 2006 at 5:55 pmTHe cynic says: The lower they(the gopers) can get bush to get to now- the greater he will look when he rises (like u know who) come the fall!
“Conservatives are willing to take stands, no matter how unpopular, for the greater good.”
Please explain the “greater good” that radiated from Reagan selling weapons to terrorists. Iranians who had held Americans hostage at the beginning of his term were sold weapons. Refute that.
Historians are not getting a clear picture, BECAUSE BUSH HAS LIMITED ACCESS for them to previously-accessible historical documents. When we get a democratic House and Senate this term, we will reverse this royal decree, and then watch your legacy take a dive!
March 2nd, 2006 at 5:57 pm“True conservatives believe in a limited government, fiscal restraint and personal responsibility. Bush exhibits none of those qualities.”
Comment by Jim — March 2, 2006 @ 5:52 pm
Conservatism died on 9/11. Did any of these “conservatives” protest ANYTHING Bush did?
March 2nd, 2006 at 6:00 pmNo, there is no more conservatism as we knew it; “9/11 changed everything.”
The current breed of Republicism does not truly represent the likes of me and others who were indeed true middle of the road conservatives.
March 2nd, 2006 at 6:03 pmWhat we have in power today are neo cons who have alienated many of us giving us no choice but to leave and either become Democrats or Independents.
A day doesn’t pass anymore that a new story or another scandal within the depths of the Bush Administration doesn’t arise and you wonder how much longer it will be before the Bush Kool Aid drinkers wake up and get their heads out of their butts?
They will pay for it in the November elections and there are many more of ex Republicans like myself that will cross over only because we care more for this country than the self serving crooks that are in the White House today.
there’s a name I haven’t seen in a very long time.
welcome back buckfush.
March 2nd, 2006 at 6:09 pmGEORGE W. BUSH IS AN EVILDOER, A DESERTER, A WAR CRIMINAL, AND A LIAR. AMERICA IS ONLY NOW WAKING UP AND SMELLING WHAT THIS FASCIST BASTARD IS SHOVELLING.
March 2nd, 2006 at 6:25 pmThanks for that refresher course on the liberal agenda. It reminded me of the reason I started out as a liberal and evolved into a conservative. It sounded so…Swedish … uniform and mediocre (and horribly bland food). In my neck of the woods - where they tout “diversity”, they really mean “white bread and mayo”.
It was a lovely tribute to religion - sort of. Did I mention it was a strong case for having goverment bureaucracy in EVERYTHING…from our peanut butter jars to our catherized abortions. The ONLY thing missing was a GRAND tribute to the power and equalizing nature of taxes. Sadly, this society has become a place where kids are scheduled non-stop (who has time to play?), parents “reason” with three year olds (talk about an exercise in futility!)and your teenager who has laboured over their college essay is competing with the cheaters who have purchased theirs off the internet.
March 2nd, 2006 at 6:26 pmThese numbers will not be acceptable until they reach the 0% mark for each category. Who are these numbskulls who approve of the job Bush is doing (I’d get fired if I performed this badly at my job); approve of the way her’s “handling the ‘war’ on terrorism (you the mean the “war” Bush created so he could line the pockets of Halliburton, et al.?); approve of Bush’s handling of Irag (you mean, mishandling, don’t you?); and most laughable of all still by some incredible stretch of the imagination find Bush to be honest and trustworthy. It defies reason that there is a person with a brain still living and breathing on this planet that would approve of or think of Bush in any way other than disgust and complete disapproval.
March 2nd, 2006 at 6:27 pmI have come to the conclusion that to still support bush you have to be one or all of the following, 1)miss-informed, which can be helped, 2)stupid, which can’t be helped, or 3) a fascist, which makes you the mortal enemy of anything American.
March 2nd, 2006 at 6:27 pm#31— By “giving” a 10,000 year old culture “western values” — you think the US president is a hero?? This type of thinking is why the US is hated in so many corners of the globe. Have you ever looked at a globe? Perspective, dear 31, perspective.
March 2nd, 2006 at 6:27 pmConsidering the mess that the Bush Crime Family has created, you may want to click on the following link and maybe even leave a comment in their guest book.

If I knew where the WMD were, now would be a pretty good time to cough them up, wouldn’t ya say??

March 2nd, 2006 at 6:29 pm#61 - James,
March 2nd, 2006 at 6:31 pmI’m with you. I voted almost straight Republican through 1988. In 1992, I realized that Bush 41 had the intellectual depth of a pee spot on a mens room floor. I swapped allegiances at that point in time.
Just read Samuel Alito’s comments. Now I know who one of the numbskulls is. NUMB SKULL.
March 2nd, 2006 at 6:32 pmTo all the wingnut thug trolls trying to spin the miserable failure’s miserable poll results, please remember one thing: your hero is commander in chief at a time of war…His numbers should be 65%+ if he was any bit of a half decent leader.
But, alas, he is a loser, you know it, the American people know it, and you are afraid what your wingnut friends will think if you admit it.
We DID try to warn you, though. So our conscience is clear.

March 2nd, 2006 at 6:34 pmBut… GOOD news for the Communist Party - (and you thought that was thing of the past!). The Indian Communist Party did you proud with a 10,000 “strong” demonstration of President Bush’s trip the new Delhi. the demonstration came complete with “Down with Bush’s Imperialism” and “Bush is a Terror”. Made me long for the days of the Cold War…
March 2nd, 2006 at 6:35 pmAhmed you fool, keep your head down. Don’t you have a job to do at the oil ministry? Come on, Carlyle is counting on you.
March 2nd, 2006 at 6:37 pmEver been to India, MA? I think the Indians recognize an empire when they see one and they have been suffering under islamic terror a lot longer than you.
March 2nd, 2006 at 6:39 pmBush’s poll numbers are even lower-34% approval =about where they were when we lost to Diebold in 2004. But the poll Republicans should really be concerned with is the one recently done in Iraq. Today 93% of the troops believe WMD had nothing to do with the war. 72% of the troops say we should bring them home now or at least by the end of the year.. So what about those staged photo ops with Bush speaking to the troops and they all applaud? Well I guess we know now how much they were threatened with court martial to clap for Bushy Boy. I actually saw a few disgruntled troops last time. Of course they quickly moved the camera.
March 2nd, 2006 at 6:40 pmthe Bush spin on this is that polls lie, he never uses them and they don’t mean anything anyway.
Rove and the Congressional GOP have got to be pooping in their pants.
A few months from now when we are in the height of the election season, the prescription drug mess will also hit the fan as seniors hit the doughnut hole portion.
From the videos, even Brownie looks to be doing a fairly competent job compared to the disengaged and clueless Bush.
Devaststing.
March 2nd, 2006 at 6:43 pmSammy, get off the computer and get back in the SCOUS and get to work. You trolls are the dummest batch yet. Now go pick up your check,and watch fox news.
March 2nd, 2006 at 6:44 pm#73 — Another NUMBSKULL heard from — Mighty Aphrodite.
March 2nd, 2006 at 6:50 pmma,
March 2nd, 2006 at 6:54 pmIf you spoke with your neighbors, the people across the street or even over the back fence; you would realize that there are other individuals in the world besides you and the administration. By and large these people revile W for his arrogant and evil ways. While my conversation pod is limited to people in England, France, Finland, Germany, Italy, South Africa, Lebanon, Japan, Argentina, India and the Netherlands: I believe that this pod offers a good cross section of world opinion.
While a Dem majority in the midterms will doubtlessly occur in the voters’ intentions, the stage has and is being set for even more fraud as those paperless trail electronic voting machines are being placed throughout the country. As long as these fraudulent machines are being used, our votes are meaningless and our democracy is history. What occurred in 2000, 2002 and 2004 has now become the new Amerikkan order — the machines are either in place or will be by November, and only the repuglycans or the occasional republocrat (ie, a Lieberman) will remain [fraudulently] victorious. We have to demand voting accountability BEFORE another election is stolen, if indeed it’s not already too late.
March 2nd, 2006 at 6:54 pmFor all those citing polls showing former Presidents with lower approval ratings. I think that has a lot to do with the polarization of the country. Democrats strongly dislike Bush, as do independents.
But Republicans are still basking in his greatness, and will likely never abandon him, even if he sells the Department of Homeland Security to Iran.
I think that’s a more recent phenomenon. Back in the day, Americans (of either or neither party) could look beyond the President’s party affiliation when determining whether they approve of the Commander’s job performance.
March 2nd, 2006 at 6:57 pmSo I guess you could say that the public has a MAN-DATE to hate bush and his incompetence.
52% = mandate according to wingNUTS
March 2nd, 2006 at 6:59 pmBush’s capacity for screw-ups is amazing, if not unforeseen. That there is still 1/3 of the populace that do not see him as a total failure is beyond me. Apparently, this country is full of abject fools. Who knew?
March 2nd, 2006 at 7:03 pm61 - “The current breed of Republicism does not truly represent the likes of me…”
ah-HA…i knew it - you ARE a “stooge”…finally admitted it
by the way - it’s probably “republicanism”…
March 2nd, 2006 at 7:09 pmok - foot in mouth: “ex Republicans like myself”
congratulations, james…
March 2nd, 2006 at 7:11 pmTo Lynn, poster #68
Thanks for giving me the best laugh of the day with the web site you put up.
I about peed my pants just looking at all of those pictures of Bush and the comparisms to the Chimp. To be honest, I couldn’t tell who was who. Going back in shortly and will put something in their guest book as there is some pretty funny stuff and some not so funny.
I have book marked it and I am going to send that site to all of my Republican friends…lol http://www.bushorchimp.com
Thanks again, Max
March 2nd, 2006 at 7:12 pmIt doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out that the people have turned against this guy. He is the only person on the planet who doesn’t get it. Oh, uncle Dickie, Rummy and Karl still believe in him, and that’s all that he needs apparently. Uncle Dickie keep telling him he is popular and he believes it’s true. I love my uncles, but I got enough common sense to know when to stop listening to them. The keep saying, they don’t care about polls, but those people polled represent voters. Oh, I forgot, if they say something, it’s true regardless of the facts.
I forgot we weren’t supposed to see things the way they really are. That’s why the American people finally got the national security “Thing”. Why else would they think selling our ports to the UAE is a bad thing for national security. Righttt, they learned that from Dubya. It seems as thought they played the national security “Card” too many times and now people really care about the national security “Thing”. I guess the lesson is, Don’t play the same card too many times, because people might start to notice it. Yes, I can’t help but say it. “The chickens have come home to roost”, “The cat is out of the bag”, “Don’t cry wolf”, “Don’t count your chickens before the hatch”, etc….
Man, what took the rest of the Country sooo long to catch up to what people in the Blue States have known all along. This guys don’t have a clue, and we are less safe with them in office. I certainly hope all of those people in O H I O are happy with Dubya right now. They put him in office after the fist term, and now I hope they’ve got enough sense to stop the madness before it’s too late.

March 2nd, 2006 at 7:35 pmThanks for that refresher course on the liberal agenda. It reminded me of the reason I started out as a liberal and evolved into a conservative.

March 2nd, 2006 at 7:37 pm#87 — Did you notice a distinctive difference in the bush/chimp photos, though? To a chimp, they all had a human, intelligent personae; bush…well, he just looked liked the village idiot (my apologies to the village idiots out there, Sam)!
March 2nd, 2006 at 7:38 pm[…] Frankly, it’s time to start focusing on who’s going to next assume the mantle of leadership for the Republican party, because George Bush is effectively done. He only has 8 months of his presidency left and his approval ratings continue to drop. The job now is to simultaneously encapsulate the Bush presidency (Lucked into the office by legal decree, presided over the worst terrorist attack in American history, started a war that caused the death of 2,500 Americans to no avail, re-elected on a narrow margin thanks to a sleazy campaign and a woefully ill-prepared opposition, consistently unpopular to the point of absurdity), and to focus fire on his would-be replacement (McCain, Allen, etc.). […]
March 2nd, 2006 at 7:49 pmGeorge W Bush has done more harm to America than any one person in the history of America.

March 2nd, 2006 at 8:03 pm#80 - Dear Walt - Your elitism is amusing and telling - although not surprising. I talk with people from many interesting places - both in person and electronic communication. Some people I agree with - others I don’t. But if the entire planet woke up and said something incredibly stupid - i.e. all partial birth abortions are up to the whim - I mean choice - of the “mother”, I still would not fling my finger in the wind and decide, “Hmmmm…I’ll throw my morals under the bus for Walt and Company”. I won’t become a secular humanist, I believe in helping allies, and I think the death penalty is unevenly applied. But I’m sure your friends and you could save time and trouble - get parrots - you all sound alike.

March 2nd, 2006 at 9:11 pmCouldn’t resist it - yah know, “Get Smart”?
Is there any hope of an impeachment event before January 2, 2007? If it was pending, would W use his position as CIC to override the Constitution? (Military takeover).
81 percent believe Iraq is likely to end up in a civil war.
I got news for you people: Iraq is in a state of fucking civil war. Even George Will flatly admits it, although George Won’t never will, since they have a very loose and expansive definition of “civil war.”
March 2nd, 2006 at 9:41 pmI’m against capital punishment, so I do not want to see George W. Bush executed for his responsibility in the death of so many Americans and Iraqis. But I do believe that he should be tried for crimes against humanity. Still, being the wishy-washy liberal that I am, I might be sympathetic to an insanity defense. Anyone who simpers and giggles when speaking of the dead, as he does (ABC interview), can’t be dealing with a full deck.
March 2nd, 2006 at 10:09 pmOh, so the fact that he’s a lying war criminal has nothing to do with these poll numbers.
I wonder if the polsters asked, “Given the fact that President Bush is a lying war criminal, what is your approval rating of the job he’s done?” That might affect the numbers a bit.
And, as for the war criminal bit. Look up the UN Charter and the various treaties the US has ratified on the use of torture and protection of human rights. If the US was a signatory to the International Criminal Court, Bush would be up on charges.

Who are these 38%, ANYWAY? Why millions love Bush? Are they racists happy for Bush and Catrina killing blacks, or they are commies who like to see dollar fall, or they are proud of torture?
March 2nd, 2006 at 11:09 pm109: Total brainwash victims. I was just talking to some broad about NPR She said she doesn’t listen to it because it’s too liberal and it pisses her off. The same person that only likes to listen to faux news. And, I suspect a devoted Rush listener. I live in a teeny town — pop. 167. You can find rush on 3 different channels. You have to drive 80 miles to hear air America. This 38% who are they? Well I’d say about 3% of them have vested rational interest in whats happening, millionaires and war profiteers. I’d say the other 35% are complete suckers.
March 2nd, 2006 at 11:27 pmBe careful Aphrodite, your swastika is showing!
March 2nd, 2006 at 11:35 pmSo I am confused. I thought that his approval rating was 34% according to CBS 2/27. How does 39% show him sliding even further down.?
March 3rd, 2006 at 12:06 amBecause the pool that Fox polls is slightly slanted cvompared to CBS’s pool, shall we say.
March 3rd, 2006 at 12:16 ammighty afrotripey,
are you still here, spewing that mindless rubbish? i mean, seriously, you’re just asking to be insulted. walk right in, shit on the rug, and then expect us to listen to you. whatever.
the indian protests were not limited to communists, mush-for-brains. india has the second largest muslim population in the world, and a fair few of them were protesting. there were also hindus protesting. but you, frau tripey, saw that big, bad, dirty word “communist” and lost your lunch. that’s typically how a fascist reacts.
funny you talk about ‘throwing your morals under the bus’ — if you had morals you wouldn’t support bush. it’s that simple. you cite alot of examples that rely on analyzing other people’s lifestyles. i seem to recall a time when conservatives wanted government OUT of people’s lives, but you appear to advocate state-sponsored thought control. good thing you’re just a mindless bushbot with no power. just a reminder: bush doesn’t give even the tiniest shit about your life. you have no power, and that’s all that’s important to him.
you “evolved” did you? becoming conservative is a regressive process. one does not “evolve” into conservatism. the primary cause of conservatism is fear.
go on, think about it. why are people conservative? because they’re afraid. conservatism = fear of liberal choices, liberal ideas, and a liberal lifestyle. typically, people get more conservative as they get older… why? because they learn more about fear.
i didn’t know you whackjobs believed in evolution, anyway. get back to ironing those brown shirts for the hitler youth you’re raising, frau.
March 3rd, 2006 at 12:34 amFaux uses the squareing factor in unfavorable polls. Thus poll results = (actual results)**-2 which yeilds an unfavorable rating or 64%.
March 3rd, 2006 at 12:35 amRepeat after me:
Exit polls are wrong.
Exit polls are wrong.
Electronic voting is infallible.
Electronic voting is infallible.

March 3rd, 2006 at 12:40 amOur favorite ex-Governor’s state is on the ball… The Rutland County Democratic Committee (Vermont) has adopted a resolution for impeachment against George W. Bush, as persuant to a little-known and never used constitutional option that allows a State legislature to ask the House of Representatives to consider impeachment.
There is no guarantee that the House will do so, but this post on daily kos lays out reasons why it can’t be anything less than a good thing:
http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2006/3/1/
March 3rd, 2006 at 12:45 am235828/9378
Look to see multiple districts in California and elsewhere putting forth impeachment resolutions. Its coming fast and furious!
March 3rd, 2006 at 12:46 am117, the text of the resolution deserves to be posted here as well. Many thanks to those who have worked to make it so:
RESOLUTION
WHEREAS, Section 603 of the Manual of the Rules of the U.S. House of Representatives provides for impeachments to be initiated on a motion based on charges transmitted from a state legislature, and
WHEREAS, George W. Bush has committed high crimes and misdemeanors as he has repeatedly and intentionally violated the United States Constitution and other laws of the United States, particularly the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act and the Torture Convention, which under Article VI of the Constitution is a treaty as part of the “supreme law of the land”,
WHEREAS, George W. Bush has acted to strip Americans of their constitutional rights by ordering indefinite detention of citizens, without access to legal counsel, without charge and without opportunity to appear before a civil judicial officer to challenge the detention, based solely on the discretionary designation by the President of a U.S. citizen as an “enemy combatant”, all in subversion of law, and
WHEREAS, George W. Bush has ordered and authorized the Attorney General to override judicial orders for the release of detainees under U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (formerly INS) jurisdiction, even though the judicial officer after full hearing has determined that a detainee is held wrongfully by the Government, and
WHEREAS, George W. Bush has ordered at least thirty times the National Security Agency to intercept and otherwise record international telephone and other signals and communications by American citizens without warrants from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court of Review, duly constituted by Congress in 1978, and designated certain U.S. citizens as “enemy combatants”, all in violation of constitutional guarantees of due process, and
WHEREAS George W. Bush has admitted that he willfully and repeatedly violated the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act and boasted that he would continue to do so, each violation constituting a felony,
NOW THEREFORE the Rutland County Democratic Committee submits that his actions and admissions constitute ample grounds for his impeachment, and that the General Assembly of the State of Vermont has good cause for submitting charges to the U.S. House of Representatives under Section 603 as grounds for George W. Bush’s impeachment.
The County Committee further submits that Articles of Impeachment should charge that George W. Bush has violated his constitutional oath to execute faithfully the office of President and to the best of his ability to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.
In all of this George W. Bush has acted in a manner contrary to his trust as President, subversive of constitutional government to the great prejudice of the cause of law and justice, and to the manifest injury of the people of the State of Vermont and of the United States.
WHEREFORE, George W. Bush, by such conduct, warrants impeachment and trial, removal from office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any offices of honor, trust or profit under the United States.
February 28, 2006
Adopted: February 28, 2006
March 3rd, 2006 at 12:53 amIf Bush cared about polls, then he would resign, but he could care less because he is a dictator now! Despots never resign and never get impeached either! Remember citizens of Bushland (United States name no longer exists) that Brother Bush is the Emperor/Fuhrer of our Homeland/Fatherland!
March 3rd, 2006 at 1:08 amBush, living proof that Intelligent Design isn’t.
March 3rd, 2006 at 1:36 amInterestingly, the more Clinton was investigated, the higher his approval rating rose. The more we investigate Bush, the more his approval rating drops. Hmmmm . . .
March 3rd, 2006 at 2:03 amWaltTheMan,
I just don’t get how Bush’s approval rating can be so freakin’ low all the time. Is he only in power because the republicans own both the House and Senate, plus the Judiciary and Executive? With the electronic voting fraud, will we even have a chance to get rid of these fvckers with our voting power? The California Secretary of State just recertified the Diebold machines and told everybody “There isn’t anything to worry about.” And that is how it is being reported. Just a matter of fact “Go screw yourself.”
Will Bush try and stay in power? No, these neocons are much smarter than that. They will rig the mid-terms and presidential elections, keeping their strangle hold on America. WIll Joe average citizen stop and think twice? Probably not. They will not care until after a large percentage (and I mean large) start losing their jobs, homes, have to file bankruptcy and are left homeless.
People truly just don’t care. Everything is great. “I am doing better than the Jones’, so why should I care?” “Did you here about Mary down the street?” This is the kind of crap that everyday people care about. Isn’t Survivor on tonight?”
“I’m mad as hell and I’m not going to take it anymore.”
“Stop this train, I wanna get off.”
March 3rd, 2006 at 2:18 amSpudge when I emailed a story about Cheney might resign to a friend he said Cheney stays because that helps keep the feild open for Jeb to come from out of nowhere just like Bush did in late 99.
March 3rd, 2006 at 2:31 amSpudge_Boy > I am NOT sure if America will have a presidential election in 2008? If Dubya declares Martial Law, then he can abolish the House and Senate, and rule by decree! As for our November 2006 Congressional elections: since Democrats have failed to make HONESTY in voting a priority, it looks grim at present to have FAIR counting of ballots! Georgia has Diebold machines just like California, and everyone knows that Sen. Max Cleland was defeated by fraud to elect Chambliss to replace him as Senator! I believe that GOP operatives will cheat for Repubs nationwide this November > they did it for Bush in 2004 and got away with it, so they will do it again!
March 3rd, 2006 at 2:35 amOne last comment before bedtime: I lived in Florida during the 2000 election and it still saddens me that George and Jeb stole the votes in the Sunshine State and then forced their toady pals in the Supreme Court to rule in favor of Dubya over Gore! Florida was the only State in 2000 that had organized cheating for Bush, but in 2004 about a dozen States did it for Dubya! By NOT stopping Bush cold in 2000, it has steamrolled into the HELL we live with today!
March 3rd, 2006 at 2:43 amJay they are at it now disenrolling minorities as felons just like Fla 2000, and creating laws to challenge the right to vote of classes of people who traditionally vote non-republican.
March 3rd, 2006 at 2:49 amIn Europe Crimals in jail can vote - why not after all they will be released one day and not put do death- In the uk Criminals cannot vote although this is being changed soon- But criminals not in prisons can vote
March 3rd, 2006 at 3:38 amlooks like the political capital has been spent
March 3rd, 2006 at 5:59 amLeave it to Fox to give Boy George five extra points even though he still comes in at a dismal 39%.
March 3rd, 2006 at 6:27 amLadies and Gentlemen, I sit here reading the comments, listening & watching Imus [and I love Jon Stewart]. I will be 75 in one week and wonder how citizens of this once great country allowed a corrupt administration to silence protests. How did we allow fraud in voting? How did we allow ourselves to believe patently false statements? How did fine fellows like Gen Powell present false evidence to the UN. Tired of this? Well, so am I. I am mad as hell and want my country back! Get out the Vote! Get active in your community. Keep on blogging! Lastly, Keep on truckin’
March 3rd, 2006 at 6:57 amWell, I thought America would make it to at least three-hundred years…nice knowing you, old friend.
March 3rd, 2006 at 7:59 amwhat would be cheaper and quicker? impeachment or war crimes? think halliburton would take a no-bid contract?
March 3rd, 2006 at 8:10 am131, Powell is a good man and has been far too silent. Something there is not right.
March 3rd, 2006 at 8:12 amBack once more…speaking of Powell…
In 1992, General Colin Powell, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, awarded the prize for his strategy essay competition at the National Defense University to Lieutenant Colonel Charles Dunlap for ‘The Origins of the American Military Coup of 2012′. Rumor is, Colonel Dunlap’s essay has been circulating among the military’s top brass and strategists.
Here it is …
March 3rd, 2006 at 8:18 amMy take on America.
This all lies on Hollywood’s shoulders.
You see, Hollywood has this love of the loveable idiot. You know how it is, you have the bright person playing the villain and more often then not the hero is some sort of retard. The traditional American hero could be any Adam Sandler character - Davey Crocket stand aside here comes the Waterboy.
So that is what you eventually voted for. Hollywood has so conditioned the American mindset that Americans just cannot bring themselves to not trust a complete idiot with total power.
And this has led to what you have now; the Right Wing movie zombies thinking “But he is about to make good all of a sudden and the people with brains will eat their words†much like as what happens in every second American comedy. They will continue to stand by their chimp in chief because frankly they simply cannot see that a screw-up is a screw-up because screw-ups screw-up.
What is needed now is a serious shift in American culture, away from the stupid and sub-par and towards the intellegent. In the 60’s Bob Dylan did it for you, now America needs a more permanent solution to the problem.
Comment by Bruce Gorton — March 1, 2006 @ 1:48 pm
In short, 39% of Fox’s audience is made up of movie zombies.
March 3rd, 2006 at 8:59 amwith those poll numbers, that only means one thing
domestic ‘terrorist’ attacks and more presidential power to ‘prevent’ those said same attacks
oh, and more tax breaks for the top 5%
and laws that say gays can’t marry or adopt
recinding voting rights, owning property, & residency status next ??

March 3rd, 2006 at 10:34 amWhat the hell is #31 talking about?What country is he speaking of?Iraq?Bush a yeoman to humanity?Pull your head out of your ass, please sir,i beg of you before it’s to late.Iraq is on the verge of civil war thanks to that whacko motherfucker,Iran and North Korea are on the verge of obtaining nuclear armaments because of that idiots obsession with Saddam Hussein.What proof do you have to back up that statement?This guy has screwed you and i from day one,yet you claim he is a yeoman to humanity?Screwed seniors on his drug plan,screwed students on student loans,screwed the average individual with their new bankruptcy law,need i go on?Yeoman to humanity,indeed,how dare you.
March 3rd, 2006 at 10:35 amWho knows what Bush will do next? It’s an insane asylum in Washington, DC now! Selling our East Coast ports to UAE that has ties to Osama is just one example of lunacy! Another nutty thing is Bush giving nuclear technology to India, while at the same time threatening to use nukes on Iran for trying to get nuclear knowledge?!
March 3rd, 2006 at 10:37 am31 looks like he was being sarcastic to me.
March 3rd, 2006 at 1:11 pmWow. We’ve been “But Clintoned!” in the first 30 posts. Kudos, trolls.
March 3rd, 2006 at 2:07 pmSecondly, why bring Carter into this? As if being the third most hated president in American history is some accomplishment. Last time I checked polling sub 40 for half a year wasn’t something a politician would brag over.
The Republicans should consider themselves lucky if they even push with the Democrats in the midterm elections. Bush is bombing and the Democrats will take control of the House.
Secondly, whats with the ridiculous pre-House-takeover spin I’ve been hearing about a “Liberal Agenda” giving the Republicans control of the White House in 08? Yep, Republicans are thinking with their heads 3 moves deep…in their colons.
#126 - “…I lived in Florida during the 2000 election and it still saddens me that George and Jeb stole the votes in the Sunshine State and then forced their toady pals in the Supreme Court to rule in favor of Dubya over Gore!”
comment -by Jay Randal, habitual victim
***** Dear Jay, It still saddens me that you’re still whining - but what else is one to expect. Ask yourself why Gore was against an entire state re-count.
You remind me of my recently departed Aunt Sophie(in more ways than one!). The evening of the election, Aunt Sophie called from Palm Beach to my mother (God rest her soul). She was crying and whining, and who can blame her, as she thought she voted for that anti-Semite, Pat Buchanan. My mother listened to her patiently, reminded her devoutly Dem sister that she was a Republican - and suggested that just as she had taken herself off the road in the interest of public safety, maybe she should do the same in regards to the voting booth if she was incapable of casting a ballot correctly. It caused a two week rift, but soon Sophie FORGOT her anger and they got along just fine - until they died.
March 3rd, 2006 at 2:34 pmWhy he’s even THIS high in the polls baffles me.
March 3rd, 2006 at 3:35 pmBush does not look like our most popular president.
March 3rd, 2006 at 3:56 pmBush is this century’s equivalent of Hitler. theocratic dictator, murderer, simpleton. mango’s for nuclear technology man. idiot. mass murderer. bastard.
March 3rd, 2006 at 4:18 pmWow, now this is interesting about Dubya. If the people at Fo News now are going to have a hard-time spinning this, yet this is going to be interesting at the Fake News Network like kiss-ass Sean Hannity are going to go nuts over this, same with O’Reilly.
March 3rd, 2006 at 4:27 pmMA #143 says “Ask yourself why Gore was against an entire state re-count.”
Idiot, that’s another right-wing Gooper lie, which of course, you fell for. Gore, by FL LAW, had to ask for a sampling of 3 counties ONLY for the initial recount, then if there was sufficient evidence, he could then request a full recount. Only, he was never allowed to do so, because the felonious Supreme Court intervened which, by the way, is totally treasonous because the SCOTUS never had any constitutional basis to intervene in an election in the first place (see the book “The Betrayal of America: How the Supreme Court Undermined Our Constitution and Chose Our President” by Vincent Bugliosi).
March 3rd, 2006 at 5:03 pm#146 Bush might be this centuries version of Hitler, but it looks like he’s really trying for is the new Nero……
March 3rd, 2006 at 5:08 pmMA ask yourself why Katherine Harris oversaw the illegal disenfranchisement of over 50,000 mostly democratic voters before the election by erroneously having them placed on a “felon” list and not having the state government properly vet the list to guarantee they were not denying anyone the right to vote.
March 3rd, 2006 at 5:15 pm#148 - Ohhhh….so Gore really didn’t want EVERY vote counted….just the too stupid or toooo felonious…Thanks for clearing that up! (I NEVER really believed Dems wanted all votes actually counted - just those from overwhelmingly Dem counties.) Thanks Ralph!!!
March 3rd, 2006 at 5:22 pmMA, I guess expecting drooling Bush sycophants to understand constitutional law and how Harris, SCOTUS, and Bush ultimately shit on it is expecting a bit too much. My bad!
March 3rd, 2006 at 5:35 pm“Ohhhh….so Gore really didn’t want EVERY vote counted….just the too stupid or toooo felonious…Thanks for clearing that up! (I NEVER really believed Dems wanted all votes actually counted - just those from overwhelmingly Dem counties.) Thanks Ralph!!! Comment by mighty aphrodite “
Oh sweetie, you have suck a knack for the dishonest, deceptive and discredited postings. Perhaps that crippled partisan brain of your simply didn’t comprehend that the 50,000 people were ‘innocent’ and not felons when you slandered them with your ‘felonius’ remark. Or perhaps you just like calling anyone who was confused by misaligned ballots as ’stupid’ because in some way it makes someone who’s naturally insecure such as yourself feel better about yourself. After all, what other reason would you have for attacking the innocent, and the misled other than hatred, spite and a general disregard for your fellow human beings?
Now while we’re on the ‘too stupid’ remark, I’m sure that all of the military ballots that didn’t get postmarked don’t show a sign that military personnel are ‘too stupid’ to have their ballots counted, and your implication that they were is very dishonorable to their service isn’t it? Just like calling american citizens who were trying to do their duty by voting but were disenfranchised by those who don’t honor their rights because they feel they aren’t ‘moral or smart’ enough to vote.
Sweetie, intelligence isn’t a requirement for voting, and we are ‘innocent’ until proven guilty despite the methods of florida that prefer to take the opposite approach. If we required intelligence in order to vote, then Jeffrey you’d be one of the first who would suffer under that paradigm.
So I forgive you for your hatred, your slander, your anti-american, anti-democratic and anti-humane stances. Clearly you’re just afraid of anyone who disagrees with you, and this is why you say the silliest (and what was that again you like to say, Boring?) things?
I’m sure you mean well, even if you repeat the same old lies, and use the same old hatred to attack your fellow decent hard working americans. Poor thing, such desperation you exhibit - you have my pity for the depths of your hatred, anger, suffering and your ignorance pumpkin.
March 3rd, 2006 at 8:06 pm“My mother listened to her patiently, reminded her devoutly Dem sister that she was a Republican - and suggested that just as she had taken herself off the road in the interest of public safety, maybe she should do the same in regards to the voting booth if she was incapable of casting a ballot correctly. mighty aphrodite AKA RiteWinger AKA Jeffrey Shawn”
Didn’t you claim you were raised democrat? How your story shifts and moves sweetie. I know you’ve put a lot of effort into this artificial person you’ve created, but this is just silly pumpkin. After all, you’re making fun of the fact that your aunt was disenfranchised, and then you call her stupid? How could hate someone in your own family so much? Are you that detached, and lost that you actually get a thrill from the misery of others?
Poor lost soul, I forgive you pumpkin, even if you don’t deserve it. I’m sure you don’t mean to be a selfish, hateful person - even if that seems to be pretty much the extent of your capacity.
I did like your idea to get rid of all of the charities however. Can we start with all of the ones that get involved in political elections first? After all, it is illegal - even if not enforced by your friends.
March 3rd, 2006 at 8:10 pmIsn’t 34% one of the lowest if not lowest percentages for any 2-term president?
I know people like to lump 1 term and 2 term presidents together, but isn’t there a separate breakout normally done because of its effects on politics?
March 3rd, 2006 at 8:12 pmRP what is the persentage of the US population that does drugs or medication? Does it add up to anything near 34%?
March 3rd, 2006 at 8:32 pmClif,
Perhaps a better question is what percentage of americans should be on drugs because they’re too freaked out, fearful, hateful or dysfunctional to operate effectively in society. That’s probably closer to 34% than we’d care to imagine :)
I do feel sorry for them though. Their hysteria is what drives them to shut down and stop reasoning. They’re afraid of terrorists. They’re afraid of liberals. They’re afraid of ‘commies’. They’re afraid of minorities. They’re afraid of poor people (see above). They’re afraid of muslims. They’re afraid of gays. They’re afraid of pornography (that one’s just sad). They’re so afraid of so many things that they’ve forgotten how to love, trust, forgive, and just be a part of the greater community. It’s like watching the worst hypochondriacs react to a simple cold. Their vision of the world is so distorted, contorted and irrational that they can’t even act like a decent human being. It’s so sad.
March 3rd, 2006 at 8:48 pmThere are some other interesting numbers in the polls that haven’t been discussed.
From Quinnipiac’s poll: Even the reddest of “red states” believe a warrant should be obtained before wiretapping, by a 51 to 46 margin. Overall, the numbers are 55 to 42 percent that the government should get court orders for this type of surveillance. And here the media has been repeating the BushCo line that the NSA eavesdropping is “a winning issue for the President”. What a shock. They’re both wrong again.
As to who should take Congress this November…
Quinnipiac: “By a 49 - 37 percent margin, voters want the Democrats to win control of Congress in this year’s House and Senate elections.”
CNN/USA Today/Gallup: “By 53% to 39%, registered voters say they lean toward supporting an unnamed Democratic candidate over an unnamed Republican in their district.”
FOX: “by a 14-percentage point margin voters think it would be better for the country if Democrats win control of Congress in this year’s election”
