Has The TERROR WELL Run Dry? (New CBS Poll: 36% Approval-Post Plot)

Is the public "on" to the "terror gambit" that Bushco. has used ad nauseum? I think so. The latest CBS poll has no bounce whatsoever, and it was taken AFTER the plot arrests and asked specific questions related to it. His approval is STILL an unchanged and anemic 36%.

These terror threats were initially a shock to the system every time the were announced, but like any shock to the system, if you do it enough times, the body adjusts and becomes used to it and it no longer has the same effect.

I think the public is inured to it. They've over-used it (surprise) and it no longer has the desired effect. Additionally, I think there's just no going back for Chimpy. Once people see through you, they see through you and there's no turning that around.

All I can say is, HA HA!
