These 30 percenter idiots will continue supporting Bush no matter what.
March 18th, 2007 at 10:27 amWe should really stop taking these polls – they only serve the function of letting the world know the high percentage of the American people who either don’t have a clue or are certifiably insane.
March 18th, 2007 at 10:33 amBush’s approval rating is at 30% and who are the “conservatives” on Meet the Press to support the failed policy in Iraq? Resident disgraced losers Tom Delay and Richared Perle. And the GOP wonders why things are so screwed up.
March 18th, 2007 at 10:36 amI have said it before; these are the 30% of the individuals in this country who either have a bank account as large as Bush or an IQ as low as Bush.
No intelligent middle class individual in this country could possibly support this lying, thieving, murdering, corrupt moron that is the current occupier of the WH!
March 18th, 2007 at 10:36 amThe 30% are either Texans or off shore bank account holders who adhere to capitalism like it were a religion. The rest of us just get by!
March 18th, 2007 at 10:45 amOnly 30% still back the failed Bush administration, but the failed platform still controls ~90% of the media. We will never get this country fixed until we correct the problem with the press. And, we are making absolutely no progress in this area.
Sure, blogs like this are a good change, but they don’t fix the 90%. Only legislation will fix the media.
March 18th, 2007 at 10:47 amThe 30% are primarily authoritarian submissives
March 18th, 2007 at 10:56 amI wonder if it’t the same 30% as here?

The easily hearded 30%.
March 18th, 2007 at 11:08 amHey, only 5 percent of evangelicals would vote against a divorced candidate. Funny. Since evangelicals get divorced, divorce isn’t all that bad, it seems, even though it’s clearly forbidden in the Bible (you guys remember the infallible word of God, right?).
March 18th, 2007 at 11:11 amIt’s also a SIN to WORK on the Sabbath. Perhaps that’s why NFL teams PLAY football.
March 18th, 2007 at 11:16 amThe 30% are either Texans or off shore bank account holders who adhere to capitalism like it were a religion. The rest of us just get by!

I live in Texas and it never ceases to amaze me the things these idiots say. I even had a student call me a “demon democrat.” She is only a high school sophmore and cannot answer ONE question when asked about political events. Gee, I wonder where she got the idea that aI was a demon?
March 18th, 2007 at 11:17 amYou can’t like your chances when your point of view is presented by disgraced ex-Congressman Tom Delay and leading neocon cheerleader Richard Perle who said that there would be a “George W. Bush Boulevard” running through Baghdad some day. Do you need any more proof we are watching the end of the GOP?
March 18th, 2007 at 11:23 amWhat a disgrace to watch a man who’s career as a decades political hack and before that a bug exterminator try tell a retired Admiral that he was un-patriotic.
That 30% believes the earth is flat, dinosaurs were on Noah’s ark and that George Bush’s brain could power a light-bulb longer than a potato.

March 18th, 2007 at 11:29 amSave our democracy…
…PURGE the 30% Bushite cultists…
…and their masters…
March 18th, 2007 at 11:34 amDelay is indicted – why is he on MTP?
March 18th, 2007 at 11:40 amLegitimizing the likes of him serves to foster the misguided thinking of the idiots, morons and illiterates who make up the 30% of Bush supporters.
Yes, so why do the representatives of the 30% still preside in the majority of the news programs?
March 18th, 2007 at 11:42 amThe 30% are Bush family members and Saudis posing as U.S. citizens. Check for green cards.
March 18th, 2007 at 11:51 am-heh-
#16- Good point!
March 18th, 2007 at 11:52 amH.L.Mencken said…”For every Problem there is a solution that is SIMPLE, NEAT, and WRONG”. That pretty much describes BUSH. HE may be a regular, brush cutting, fun to have a beer with guy…but he has been a disaster for America, our Military, and Ironically his own political Party.

The fact that Tom Delay STILL has a forum…
…and conned’self-servatives make up the majority of talk show guests and and anchors/hosts…
…represent proof positive…
…that the corporate elitists and their ideological co-conspirators…
…control the message (we the people) receive…
…through all media outlets and mediums…
…ALL of our airwaves, and print media…
…are controlled by the pernicious, unAmerican anti-democracy, fascist, right wing machine…
…donot doubt that for one minute…
March 18th, 2007 at 11:57 amWith a certain regularity, I send an email to mtp@msnbc.com to offer my opinion. (which I am sure they eagerly anticipate)
March 18th, 2007 at 12:14 pmToday was no exception – why did they give face time to the indicted Delay? Why do they ignore the majority in the nation and continue to favor the Bush sycophants as guests?
Russert – the supposed tough and credible interviewer – is made a fool by the White House and yet he continues to lie down and roll over for them. His loyalty is surely to his corporate owners, and not the public’s need to know the news.
marie – i saw that in parts this morning, clicking to MTP during commercial breaks of my ritual CBS’ sunday morning…
“what the hell???!”… and so, again, am reminded that timmy is a tool…
and, i wasn’t able to listen to the whole show, but it seems that what i DID hear of bob schieffer this morning, he is getting more and more fed up with being mistaken for a tool… and a fool…
March 18th, 2007 at 12:27 pmTim Russert is one of the 30%. Always has been and always will be. It really amazes me that he still carries water for the Republics and Bush. He was exposed in the Libby trial as the administrations favorite “go to” person. He is proving that is what he is. The man has no shame. I often wonder how these people sleep at night.
March 18th, 2007 at 12:35 pmI just heard Tom Delay on Meet the Press. One of his “points” was that things weren’t going so well in Iraq was because we were involved in “A NEW kind of War”. That proves to me that he has learned NOTHING from the Viet Nam War…. a civil war , where we couldn’t tell the civilians from the enemy, and where the Support of the American People was lost.
March 18th, 2007 at 12:38 pmLibbys, we are at war. Even if you disagree with the President on some issues, you should at least respect him.
Can you at least do that for your country? Is that too much to ask?

Why should we respect a war criminal?
March 18th, 2007 at 1:09 pmClimb aboard Bushco airlines, f*ckwad wingnuts…you’ll be cruising at a steadily declining altitude until 2008, when your fearless captain will fly your plane straight into the ground. You all will experience the joy of immolation in thousands of gallons of flaming jet fuel; don’t forget to cheer your pilot as he bails out and walks away from the wreck, just like he’s walked away from every other wreck he’s caused during his pathetic life.

No and yes.
March 18th, 2007 at 1:19 pmWhy did the word “Nuremburg” suddenly pop into my head? Wierd.
March 18th, 2007 at 1:25 pmDelay has a new book out where he blames the 06 election massacre on the media. What a limpdick.
March 18th, 2007 at 1:33 pmIt is unbelievable that 30% of America is either filthy rich or crazy lunatic.
The second category is of two types. One who believe that Bush is preparing world for the second coming of Christ. In all seriousness some of them actually think Bush may well himself be the Christ. The second type of lunatics think Lincoln is the President.
March 18th, 2007 at 1:47 pmthe 30% ers will be 50% in the polls by the election so Republicans can cheat withour being noticed
March 18th, 2007 at 2:21 pmResidents of a Czech village have voted against hosting a US anti-missile radar station, fearing it will make the village a military target, amid a gathering of anti-war protesters in the nation’s capital.
Only one person in Trokavec was in favour of the US plan, in voting on Saturday, while 71 residents rejected the radar station.
Also I read Poland will do the same
TAKE YOU FIRST STRIKE WEAPONS AND SHOVE THEM BUSH THE WORLD HATES YOU AND THE REPUBLICANS 30%

Respect goes both ways, fireant. GWB does not respect the American people. He could at least do that for his country, it doesn’t seem that much to ask.
March 18th, 2007 at 3:27 pmSorry, folks, but single poll results like this latest “30%” are almost worthless by themselves.
Charles H. Franklin* has been tracking a whole slew of polls. So far this year, individual polls have put Bush approval ratings anywhere between 28% and 42%. Franklin’s “trend estimate”, however, puts Bush at 34.9% — up slightly from a record or near-record low a month ago.
I’d rather watch Franklin’s blue line snaking up and down from month to month than get all excited over a single 30 — which is sure to be contradicted soon anyway by a 28, 35, or 42 from somewhere else.
A year ago, by the way, Franklin addressed the question, “How low can presidential approval fall? Is there some natural lower limit below which it cannot go?” If, as I suspect, Bush is somewhere near that limit now, then additional poll numbers aren’t likely to tell us much except that his core supporters are still supporting him and he’s lost pretty much everyone else.

March 18th, 2007 at 4:11 pm* Franklin’s Political Arithmetik website describes him as “a professor of political science at the University of Wisconsin”.
The people who still approve of Bush are the people Lincoln warned us about: “You can fool some of the people all of the time….“

Death Toll Hits ‘Million’
Updated: 16:38, Sunday March 18, 2007
The number of deaths in Iraq since the start of the conflict could be as high as one million, according to a new estimate.
An Australian scientist published the figure using four sets of independent data, including information from the United Nations Children’s Fund and the UN’s population division, as well as medical literature.
Dr Gideon Polya’s figure is far higher than the previous biggest estimate of 655,000.
“Using the most comprehensive and authoritative literature, and UN demographic data yields an estimate of one million post-invasion excess deaths in Iraq,” he said.
A spokesman for the Stop The War Coalition said the figure was “astonishing”.
He added: “Four years after the start of the conflict in Iraq we can now see what a disaster the war has been.
“Everything that the Stop The War movement predicted would happen has taken place – but it has been far worse than we feared.”……
March 18th, 2007 at 4:39 pmRespect is not an entitlement, respect needs to be earned.
We do not respect a dry drunk, con man, puppet, liar with an inverse midas touch: everything he touches turns to sleaze.
Impeachment would be best for the country.
March 18th, 2007 at 5:38 pmfirehead sez:
I have the utmost respect for the office of the President of the United States of America…which is why I have such complete contempt for the sniveling cowardly criminal who has been defiling it with his illicit presence since 2000.
March 18th, 2007 at 6:14 pmThat SHOULD BE 3%—-They PUT IN an EXTRA ZERO by MISTAKE!!!!!
