    Boo yah!!! I am a bit surprised. I personally don’t know anybody around here that likes Bush but I don’t hang around stupid people.


  4. (not a troll) tnediserP .rM(really) says:

    These polls don’t mean anything! it’s the liberal media making this stuff up! They want to cut and run! These polls are emboldening the enemy!


  5. Jay Randal says:

    Well why has the press never mentioned this low number of approval for Bush before now? 24% is real bad, but 19% makes Bush a Cheney.


  6. (not a troll) tnediserP .rM(really) says:

    Still better than Congress!!!!! hahahaha (cough)

    Read it backwards. Our troll thinks he is oh so clever.

    On topic, a quick read of the article reveals that:

    President Bush’s approval rating has sunk to a new low in a Wisconsin poll by the firm Strategic Vision, with only 19% of those surveyed approving of Bush’s job performance.
    [...]
    Strategic Vision is a GOP firm based in Atlanta that has polled independently in Wisconsin and several other states since 2004. The poll had a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.

    Well, not even the GOP spinmeisters have enough lipstick to put on the pig the Bush administration has become.

    And no, this is not above Congress’ approval rate (even if it were, how is that comforting anyway?)

    Then again, Bush has never carried anything.

    Rifkin, do you live in Wisconsin? It is a conservative state with a progressive bent. It is a confusing state to outsiders. To say Bush didn’t carry it ever is simplistic. But you ARE simplistic.

    I’ve got a spare copy here, but I just noticed that it says “Bicentennial Edition” on the cover, so it probably doesn’t include all of the re-writes by this maladministration. I’d say borrow Senator Byrd’s copy, but he probably can’t keep up with all of the changes, either. Besides, he’d notice if his was missing, too!

  183. Chris says:

    I think now we need to ask the question “So it’s ok for Bush to have a low rating because congress has one?”

    This is the same thing as when they were like “Well, Clinton commuted people worse off”

    So because Clinton did a bad thing, it makes it ok for anyone to do?

    I seriously want to know what’s going on in the 19%’s head. I mean at this point all your friends, neighbors and co-workers have come to the conclusion that Bush isn’t doing the best of jobs how in the world can you stand alone on this issue?

    And another reasons the congress have such low numbers is that we’re judging them as a whole. We should be now asking in who stood on what issues and such to find out what their being approved or disapproved of. The democrats I think are doing the best job they can under the rules they face. If our democracy worked like a real democracy should, by this time next year Iraq would be taken off the table.

    On April 19, Timothy McVeigh parked a truck in front of a federal building in OKC and killed 168 people (many children). This was retaliation for what our governmet did in Waco, Texas on that same date.

    If we keep perpetuating this attack mode we will keep getting attacked. Wasn’t Jesus the One who taught The Golden Rule?

    You do realize that this is Washington DC, right? Where leaking is a bigger sport than the Redskins, Nationals, and Capitals combined. The conspiracy you’re citing involves the paying off of thousands of military and civil service personnel in the government, plus thousands of local law enforcement agents and eyewitnesses.

    It almost seems like the wild conspiracy theories are just an attempt to distract people from the core story that a group funded by the CIA through BCCI eventually hijacked four planes to bite the hand that once fed them.

    Wisconsinites do have a high rate of military service however (particularly in Indian country) and they know when they’re getting jacked around. When a soldier dies and they’re sitting in the bar and can’t think of something good to say about the cause they died for, they get pretty pissed.

    For those of you who actually believe that Bin Laden was involved in the 9/11 attacks, the FBI Most Wanted web site disagrees with you, and so does Wikipedia:

    Please respond specifically to these points and explain it in come plausible manner that supports the government’s explanation.

    Comment by ace — July 20, 2007 @ 8:04 am

    Same reason Al Capone was arrested for tax evasion. There’s no evidence that directly links him to the attacks. That to me is also consistent with a cautious and skilled money launderer. Or an organization that operates as a a disconnected network of independent cells.

    I buy that there are a lot of connections and “coincidences” around the attack, but some of them seem to cancel each other out. Usama bin Laden is simultaneously dead, alive, and never existed. The hijackers are all alive and well in their home countries but were also allowed into the country to carry out the attack. The Pentagon was hit by a remote-controlled plane and a cruise missile and an actual passenger plane both with and without passengers on board. The three buildings at the trade center were hit by actual planes and remote-controlled planes and were brought down in a controlled demolition. Administration officials knew not to fly on commercial airlines before the attack but didn’t know when it would happen but also knew when it would happen and didn’t do anything about it. And the entire operation was financed and carried out by Mossad, the CIA, ISI, China, the Saudis, and defense contractors, all of whom have competing goals but somehow worked together for this operation.

    I’m skeptical of the official story, but I’m also skeptical of the conspiracy theories. An administration capable of carrying out this kind of operation on U.S. soil is also very capable of disseminating red herrings.
