Suppose Bush's approval sinks to 3%, then what?

Other than the obvious fact that we have an unpopular President, I repeat, then what?

trumped up pretext long before the 3% mark. They've committed so many crimes they can't afford to lose control now.

I hope I'm being paranoid.

Disapproval does not = action.

Unless, Bush is so obsessed with pre-emptive strikes...

now."

My guess is he could try to fade a little into the background and let Cheney go out in public more often.

HE reverts to the bottle, insulates himself even more and I worry because he has a finger on the button.

"If I can't have it, no one will!"

Followed by:

:nuke: :nuke: :nuke: :nuke: All over the world.

G-d help us!!!

that's around 25%.

n/t

Cover your head and get a gas mask!

Remember his poll numbers were in the toilet on 911. Then he climbed up on a pile of dead bodies with a bull horn in one hand and a tired old fireman in the other and the media dubbed him a hero. Everyone forgot what a total fcukup and dumb ass he really is.

Actually his numbers are probably already close to 3%...the MSM just won't report it.

What if his numbers go below 0%? Like the hurricanes, will they start using greek numbers?

The GOP will kill all of us before they will give up the WH this time. Nixon was their last surrender of power.

fear for their own elections. Given the scurrying away from the president now, imagine what it would look like if he grew to have a supermajority dead set against him.

A man of principle never makes decisions based on polls.

The polls are the PEOPLE,the voters who vote them in,and they are working for US.If the people are giving the chimp low approval ratings,then it means he is not doing his JOB and he SUCKS.

Of course we all KNOW that arrogant SOB could care less what anyone thinks. It's HIS way or the highway. :puke:

decision made and every action taken by his administration. Rove's office has thousands of pages of poll results stacked everywhere, nearly to the ceiling and Rove is famous for knowing every single detail of every one of those polls. People from the White House routinely give presentations to every federal department and agency concerning poll results on issues coming before them for action or decision. Bush probably polls on whether to wipe.

When one considers that most of Bush's agenda is done secretly (for national security reasons, or under some exec. privilege claim) or done without congressional input (regulatory or law enforcement lapses) or simply done without anyone to stop it because congress doesn't care (just up and spending money appropriated for one purpose to another, losing nine billion, setting up crony emergency contracts), as long as Bush is still for Bush he can do it.

The numbers don't add up.

So that's 2% right there that would still support him.

There's another 20%, I realize that the number could be lower because there could be people who are both mentally retarded AND mentally ill...also, it doesn't break down the numbers into age groups, so some would be too young to respond to polls. Then we have to add this group, who might be expected to skew the polls due to error.

So I don't think the number would ever drop below, say, 10% when you combine all the factors, and I couldn't find stats for the percentage of emotionally disturbed people in the U.S., so that might raise the percentage of Bush supporters also.

... talking in tongues?

Starts gripping the podium during news conferences until one hears wood crunching and his knuckles ooze blood?

His vacations stretch to six months at a crack, with a week in between them flying around aimlessly in Air Force One?

Forget the gin blossoms... watch the oral herpes come out in full bloom.

Starts spending far too much time in the Texas Rangers' locker room, patting players on the ass?

Starts repeating "watch this drive" over and over again?

Starts talking to presidents' portraits, but only the Republicans talk back to him?

Cheney starts referring to him as "chucklenuts?"

Osama bin Laden starts feeling sorry for him?

Your guess is as good as mine. :)

from Bush. The question is, will the American people fall for it? Democrats need to stay strong and keep fighting the good fight. Even if the approval rating goes down to 0%, we can never become complacent.

30 to 34%. Will some troop withdrawls bring up his approval ratings?


"The terrorists want to control the oil. Our way of life will be at risk". George W. Bush (Nov. 2005)

,but according to polls many Americans don't trust the administration anymore on the economy (what took them so long.look at our deficit!) and other issues.

Look how much suckers Americans are for "compassionate conservatives," they just go weak in the knees, DON'T ASK ME WHY!

I want to see Democrats win not by default (anyone but moron) but by a clear mandate, a landslide, people going, "YES! We want to see you put your policies in effect now!"

Maybe a pipe dream, I dunno...

I would lose the office pool. I've got him bottoming out at 19%. Hang in there fella. You can do it.

Bombs Canada or something.

I think 3% is a little high for what he deserves but we'll give him that.

Here's what happens:

--he's hugely unpopular;
--everybody, including * is getting charged with this and that;
--he pardons everyone quickly;
--he's "resigned in about 6 months because he's so unacceptable to everyone including the major financial interests;
--we get to vote on paper ballots and take congress in 2006; and
--somebody reads this post where I say, if * pardons anybody, the Congress can always act and make them "persona non grata", meaning they're not welcome within the borders of the USA;

That somebody steals my idea, :grr:proposes it in the House, and it passes. All the assholes leave (including Scalia and all * Federal judicial appointees, sorry guys & gals) and we all live happily ever after, which is about 10 years until the earth's temperature reaches 120 degrees mid winter in the Northern latitudes, at which point none of this matters anymore.

I would do some improvisational toe tap, wearing sparklers, to celebrate. Other than that I suspect it would only make his hemorrhoids worse.:hurts:
