  1. Babarian Says:

    Since he is above the law, Dick Cheney probably counts as 27%…and the other 1% is simply a calculating error.


  2. Democrat Soldier Says:

    28 percent: Percentage of Americans who have a favorable opinion of lying!

    The truth will set you free, unless you’re one of those 28 percenters.


  3. PaulD Says:

    Not too shocking, thats about what Bush’s approval rating is at.

    Democrats are trying to get him impeached by the way, Gonzalez… not Bush.

    28 percent.

    Hmmmmm.

    Sounds like there is a pretty consistent base of dead-enders who support GDumbya, Darth Cheney, Gonzo and the rest of these Keystone Kops.

    Sad. Very sad.


  5. Chris L Says:

    TP, would it be possible to get a thread concerning the Middle East arms deal?? Just asking, thanx!


  6. missmolly Says:

    I suspect this 28% is comprised of the usual sheeple who will stand by the guy they voted for and his entire staff, no matter what (and most of them are in “la-la-la-I-can’t-hear-you” mode).

    How long before the first troll appears to compare this to the mythical “14% for the Democrat-controlled congress”???
    3…2…1…


  7. JG Says:

    I’m very surprised.. Who ARE these people? I would have guessed single digits..


  8. VerbalKint Says:

    The same Americans (I use the term loosely here) also believe the following:

    Bush is a great leader, Churchillian in stature.
    The war in Iraq is going well.
    Saddam attacked us on 9/11.
    Saddam and Osama bin Laden were friends.
    Saddam really did have WMDs, and they were all moved to Syria.
    Terrorism has decreased under Bush’s reign.
    The earth is 6,000 years old.
    Global warming doesn’t exist.


  9. Not Canadian Says:

    Only 28% of Americans still drink from the Neocon, kool-aid dispenser even though it tastes like sh*t.

    Some people, however, like the taste of sh*t.


  10. Punchy Says:

    Wow…that number looks VERY familiar….where have I seen it before?


  11. Kay Says:

    yea, and they all work at the Thug House.


  12. TripMaster Monkey Says:

    This is interesting and all, but the fact is, public opinion doesn’t really enter into it. Gonzo is guilty of perjury at the very least…that much is self-evident. He needs to pay for this crime (as well as others), public favor or disfavor notwithstanding.

    Oh yeah…cue idiot trolls squawking: “Congress approval rate 19%” in 3…2…1…


  13. Art Says:

    I prefer to think of the glass as 72% full.


  14. GSD Says:

  15. Egreggious, Esq. Says:

    The 28% were under the impression that Alberto Gonzalez was a cartoon character.


  16. Carlos Says:

    I’m one of the 28%.

    I like his style.


  17. muzz Says:

    28% seems high, and is depressing, but if you think about it, and think about the influence that the wrong-wing has on the media, and the continually wall of noise coming from wrong-wing blowhards on the radio, and then realize that with ALL OF THAT they can only fool 28% - it doesn’t look so bad (just trying to find some kind of positive in this).


  18. This Just In Says:

    28% are the ones who would love to turn America into a nazi like state, you know killing the non-believers, gays, and anyone else that doesn’t kiss the ass of the govt and church.

    Just look at DuhRyll, people think he’s a parody, sadly I know many people like him. Brainwashed to the max.


  19. Chris L Says:

    Comment by TripMaster Monkey — July 31, 2007 @ 11:20 am

    As much as I’d love to see Gonzo go down for perjury, I think Bush would just pardon him anyway. Then we would see Attorney General Lynne Cheney. I would rather Gonzo just stay in office until the next elections. He makes such a wonderful millstone.


  20. Mr. Provost Says:

    What if some of those 28%-ers have an unflappably favorable opinion of Gonzales not because of his testimony, but because he is the first latino Attorney General?


  21. JG Says:

    OT:
    I read a very interesting article on Huff Post last night:
    http://www.huffingtonpost.com/ coleen-rowley/ dangers-of-a-cornered-geo_b_58429.html
    regarding Bush when cornered. A lot to think about. It is written by Coleen Rowley (FBI whistleblower), Dr. Justin Frank (who wrote “Bush On The Couch), and a few other veteran intelligence analysts.

  27. nanlichi Says:

    Carlos likes the taste of Gonzo? Interesting, but why should anyone care, maricón?

    28%ers are the last bastion of Bush defenders, the pus-filled core of support. Born again Christians who live in an alternate reality where the orders come down from above and they are beyond question. If Bush says we are making “progress” in Iraq, well, who are these people to question his authority?

    Bush says Tillman was a hero and died fighting for freedom. And so it goes.

    Will these blind followers vote Repugnicunt in 2008? Would a cow lick Lott’s wife?

    JG - thanks for the link to that article. One paragraph really scared the $hit out of me:

    “George W. Bush is without conscience, and it would require a lengthy series of clinical sessions to find out what happened to it. By identifying himself as all good and on the side of right, he has been able to vanquish any guilt, any sense of doing wrong.”

    Please impeach these bastards before we all wind up in nazi germany II


  34. IgnoranceIsNotBliss Says:

    Well, crap.


  35. IgnoranceIsNotBliss Says:

    Okay, I’m gonna try this one more time. Grrrr


  36. Tony Montana Says:

    Of course Gonzales is hated.
    The Racists Leftists in the Press and Blogs have non stop attacked him.
    If he was Black, Muslim or Jew you guys wouldn’t attack him.

    Holy CRAP. Thanks for the link, IINB.

    EVERYONE needs to read, print out, and distribute that story to everyone they know.


  38. JG Says:

    JG - thanks for the link to that article. One paragraph really scared the $hit out of me:

    As someone who has lived with a person with similar character/psychological deficits and behavioral traits for 16 years, I recognized a lot of what Dr. Frank describes very early on in this Administration. It was weird to have someone write down what I thought I was seeing as well.
    This article is a really important read. That is something to consider - the danger of a cornered Bush. Americans better act quickly here.

    The book by Dr. Justin Frank is also a very good read “Bush On The Couch”.


  39. Zimzone Says:

    In other news today, the WH announced clarification on Dick Cheney’s status…

    Given the fact he is not categorized as congressional or executive branch, officials have set up an office at the D.C. Zoo.

    Disputes to his species origin, primate or hawk, have been settled.

    Visitors should be forewarned that this creature has been known to hurl feces & shout obscenities. Please warn your children.


  40. LividLib Says:

    28% of Americans are morons.


  41. Tony Montana Says:

    You’re all a bunch of racist bigots here.
    If he was a Jew, black or muslim.
    You guys would defend him.
    Just like you guys defend that Jew Spitzer, using the police to spy on a political rival. He’s also stone walling the investigation!


  42. LividLib Says:

    Excuse me, but wouldn’t “Racists Leftists” also attack blacks, muslims or jews? That’s what racists do, right?

    And you have a problem with that? Did the bible say seek the kingdom of God before making decisions?


  46. nanlichi, Hegemon Says:

    Sorry to interrupt your little tantrum Tony, but calling us rascists just doesn’t hold water. In Montana, the saying is, “That dog don’t hunt”, or “That sheep don’t back up”.

    I can’t speak for all, but I treat Anglo Bush and Mexican Gonzo the same, I hate both the evil lying bastards.

    Ruining this country and what we stand for for their pathetic egos should make any real American hate these pukes.


  47. Tony Montana Says:

    nanlichi, Hegemon ,
    So aren’t you Leftist mad at that Jew Spitzer for abusing Government power?

    Last I heard, biblical laws are the ultimate laws. Also, I wouldn’t have to thump if you guys turned your lives over to Jesus and diverted from your filthy liberal belief system.


  52. RUCerious Says:

    Last you heard? No. You live in the United States of America, which is governed by secular law. I don’t need to turn my life over to a fantasy historical figure. It’s your fear of the unknown that causes you to need to.

    Also, your comment reflects that you hate Jesus. Save yourself before it is too late!


  54. RUCerious Says:

    Leviticus 20:9
    If anyone curses his father or mother, he must be put to death.

    20:13 If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to death.

    How many people who have cursed their mom or dad have you killed, Daryll? None? Why not, this is the biblical LAW!
    How many gay/lesbians have you killed>? None? You’re certainly not following your biblical law, hypocrite!

  59. nanlichi, Hegemon Says:

    Daryll, probably my one and only serious question to you, but if you believe what you post, why do you think Bush is on the same side as your Christ?

    Because he says he is? Have you ever considered that maybe he just makes shit up because he knows it plays well in the church? It’s a game little man, and you are a pawn being manipulated by KKKarl. They looked around and said, now which segment of society is the most easily manipulated, who are the most gullible, the ones who accept and don’t question authority…

    AHA! Look at the Christians, these buffoons are predisposed to ignoring reality, and if we can get them to fall for our schtick, they can be our base. (which translates to Al Qaeda in Arabic, by the way.

    Think for yourself little puppet, you are being played for a fool.


  60. criticalthinker Says:

    Repeat after me:

    Polls are psychological tools and should be IGNORED and never quoted, until they go away like their equally useless predictor the reading of tea leaves!

    Gonzo’s approval rating is NOT 28%, it is UNKNOWN, because NOT enough measurements have been taken to KNOW.

    There is no “magical tool” that can let you look at less than 1% of a picture and tell you what the entire 100% of the picture looks like, unless the picture has a repeating pattern.

    Many pictures have repeating patterns, but few opinions occur in repeating patterns, because very few people answer polls based on the roll of a dice or other “random” manner!

    Because people’s opinions do not occur in a repeating pattern, random sampling cannot be used, therefore at least 80% of the population must be sampled in order to make a prediction that one can be sure that is at least an 80% certainty of being correct.

    Why is this so hard for people to grasp?

    An assistance too(l)??? Look, Darryl, I’m all about ‘hate the sin, not the sinner’ but you really aren’t winning any friends and/or converts with your approach. So if it’s not the message, perhaps it’s the messenger? Might wanna consider it, bro.

    Daryll, I’ve asked this before, and you never seem to be willing to answer:

    Just what about “liberal beliefs” do you find “filthy”?

    And don’t try to claim that “abortion” is a “belief”. I’m talking about beliefs, like the belief that the poor deserve protection just like the rich, and freedom of religion is the only way for both government AND faith to be completely free. Beliefs like all humans deserve dignity in their individual paths to God and in their lives.

    Could you explain some of these types of beliefs that most liberals would recognize, and tell us how they are “filthy”?

    Thanks.

    They’ve deleted 2 of my posts. Not sure why. No profanity, threats of violence. Tame in comparison.

    It’s probably mentioned in the OT. You know, the part that is to be used as an ‘assistance tool’ accoding to Darryl.

    Talk about a ‘tool’.

    and a garage band too. They’re mostly into a lot of excessive guitar riffing metal but they can bring it down as well with some really sensitive American anthems

    Sure he does, and you can join by following Acts 2:38 and stop supporting homosexuality, the illegal infiltration of other countries, unequally taxing the rich, supporting killing our future, being disobedient to the head of this country, stop spreading lies about the bible……..

    Yeah, they like to hang out in airports.

    being disobedient to the head of which country? Where Christians in Uganda reguired to meet this condition? How about Christains in all of the countires with shitty heads of government. I have never heard this about Jesus before. See now I am really bummed. First I thought it was all crap. Then I thought Jesus might have been a pretty cool “anti establishment, stick it to the man” type of righteous guy. Now you tell me that part of his message was to cowtow to whoevers in charge. I’m soo confused on this whole Christian thing.

    Daryll: Have you considered editing “Christianity for Idiots”

    So why aren’t you out killing gays/lesbians as demanded of you by Leviticus??

    “Bush is a great leader, Churchillian in stature. The war in Iraq is going well.
    Saddam attacked us on 9/11. Saddam and Osama bin Laden were friends. Saddam really did have WMDs, and they were all moved to Syria. Terrorism has decreased under Bush’s reign. The earth is 6,000 years old. Global warming doesn’t exist.”

    Don’t forget that there were dinosaurs on Noah’s Ark. That new Creationism museum down in Cincy says so. Poor Noah must have had one helluva time keeping the T-Rexes from eating the camels.

    Your God sucks. And swallows. If you don’t get on your knees and praise Poseidon right now His army of octopus and marlin will mow your ass down for blaphemy.

    There is only one true God, and His name is Poseidon!

    Why do you think New Orleans was destroyed by water? You think it was the titty bars you simpleton? It was all the evangelical Jesus freak churches that pissed off the true God and he destroyed New Orleans just as he will Salt Lake City.

    Give him a minute. Navigating the complex chain of command structure in the “Army of Jesus” can be time consuming. It’s not like He just talks to people. Well other than crazy people of course


  109. Cali4nian Says:

    There seems to be that 25%, some of whom think George and co. are doing great, or that America can’t do wrong no matter what, or are making enough money to keep ignoring reality. The sooner they get marginalized instead of played to, the sooner we might see our soldiers start coming home instead of staying in the heat.


  110. Daryll Says:

    Daryll, I’ve asked this before, and you never seem to be willing to answer:

    Just what about “liberal beliefs” do you find “filthy”?

    And don’t try to claim that “abortion” is a “belief”. I’m talking about beliefs, like the belief that the poor deserve protection just like the rich, and freedom of religion is the only way for both government AND faith to be completely free. Beliefs like all humans deserve dignity in their individual paths to God and in their lives.

    Could you explain some of these types of beliefs that most liberals would recognize, and tell us how they are “filthy”?

    Thanks.

    Comment by spit take — July 31, 2007 @ 12:32 pm

    Here’s a few, continuing to give to those who refuse to help themselves (Jesus said, “In order to eat, you must work”), unequally taxing the rich (we are all equal in the eyes of God), supporting same sex relationships (Jesus said marriage was made for a man and a women). Spit take, there is more to the bible than “Love thy neighbor”.

    In the bible, didn’t Jesus tell the Romans to obey Cesar? If President Bush is not doing anything wrong, stop mocking him. You are mocking one of God’s chosen men.

    Jesus said, “thou shalt not kill”. I use the word of God to convict them.

    Comment by Daryll — July 31, 2007 @ 1:49 pm

    Where exactly did Jesus say “marriage was made for a man and a women”? Can you point me to the book, chapter and verse?

    And sure, there is more to the Bible (I, too, capitalize it out of respect) than “Love thy neighbor”. But if you had to reduce it to a single concept, that comes pretty close.

    But I have to say, Daryll, your reading of the Bible, especially the New Testament, sounds pretty misshapen to me. Almost like you had to distort it in order to shoehorn it into a right-wing philosophy.

    I mean, really — “continuing to give to those who refuse to help themselves “??? “unequally taxing the rich”??? That’s the best you can do? THAT is what you consider “filthy”?

    Hooo-kay…

    Matthew 19, verses 4-6:

    4″Haven’t you read,” he replied, “that at the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female,’[a] 5and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh’[b]? 6So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate.”


  119. kasinca Says:

    Same bottom feeding, knuckle dragging, troglodytes who support all the other thugs in the crime family. They should be herded up and shipped to Gitmo for some water boarding…it is so much fun and gets so much truth from the victims.

    So why isn’t divorce a bigger issue than gay marriage? This applies to divorce more than same sex marriage and divorce is mentioned many times.


  121. TripMaster Monkey Says:

    Daryll sez:

    ″Haven’t you read,” he replied, “that at the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female

    Yeah…I guess this is why God made Adam, and then made Eve only as an afterthought when he realized he’d forgotten to make Adam a suitable mate.

    Silly God….he should have never smoked that joint on the third day.


  122. J Lewd Says:

    28% seems to be the baseline in America. No doubt this 28% live in trailers throughout Utah and Appalachia, have more fingers and webbed toes than they have teeth, sign their voters registration cards with an “X”, watch Bill O’Reilly until Andy Griffith comes on, and nod their heads with smile whenever they are asked if they “Approve of. . . .”


  123. paul Says:

    14% favorable opinion of democrat controlled congress. Is Gonzales really twice as good as democrats.

    Paul, Paul, Paul… your talking points are a little stale. Might try keeping up. Here’s the latest poll reported.

    It has Congress at 37% and Bush at 34%.

    Oops. There goes another perfectly good talking point.


  125. J Lewd Says:

    paul:

    Nice try, liar. You forget that Congress includes Republicans. Here’s the truth behind your ignorance:

    “In fact, the most recent poll conducted by Stephanopoulos’ own network — a July 18-21 Washington Post-ABC News poll — showed President Bush with a lower approval rating than Congress. The poll found that Bush has a 33-percent approval rating and a 65-percent disapproval rating, and that Congress has ratings of 37 percent approval and 60 percent disapproval.

    Moreover, when respondents were polled on congressional Democrats and Republicans separately, congressional Republicans received a 34-percent approval and a 64-percent disapproval rating, while congressional Democrats received an approval rating of 46 percent and a disapproval rating of 51 percent.”

    Take your dog and phony show somewhere where people think the Internet is a bunch of tubes. . . .

    Because unicorn worshiping loonies like Daryll prefer hate and hypocrisy over rational ideas and fair treatment of their fellow beings. What can you expect from Daryll, a self loathing closeted gay black man. Poor thing - didn’t have a chance with all of that baggage to carry around!


  127. DreamCrusher Says:

    Wow, he only beat the Democratic Congress by 14 points. What an animal.


  128. J Lewd Says:

    Creamcrusher:

    I don’t know what fantasy poll you’re pulling out of your alimentary, but the one I see says: Approval ratings, Gonzalez= 28%; Democrats in Congress = 46%. Read the rest of the story instead of making it up (yeah, I know it’s easier and that’s what your buttbuddy Limpaugh says to do, but it’s not real). Also, just because idiots like you call it a “Democratic Congress” doesn’t negate the fact that around 45% of them are Republicans, and they’re the jackasses pulling all the filibusters.


  129. Democrat Soldier Says:

    #58 - “One of the commandments, “Thy shalt not kill”. You should only utilize the Old Testament as an assistance too(l).” Comment by Daryll — July 31, 2007 @ 12:16 pm

    And, yet you support the lies Pres. Bush used to start the invasion of Iraq, and continue to fall for his lies to continue the occupation.

    You must first look to the beam in your eye, before finding fault with the splinter in mine. Unless you openly admit you are a pick & choose “c”hristain.
