Hee.

"Rockin' good news!!"

:-)

i wonder how much it hurt him to do this.

to see this. I love it but am wary all the same.

Still, your response "hee" is the perfect sentiment.

And I doubt anything you could do can get you out of the hole you've dug yourself into, so go on and shovel, sonny.

And Al Gore gets 28%. That's a hell of a way to end the article.

Besides, maybe they're just saving those wmd's (the ones in and around Tikrit) until we're good and ready. Hehehehe.

by the average American.

Blame it on the corporate media for failing to report often about how Al Gore really won the popular vote and how, when all was counted in Florida, he won that state, too. Most Americans, sadly, don't know this.

Those figures, I'm ashamed to say, are probably correct.

I have subcribe
At least a quarter paragraph or a smidgen of topic?

:)

I think it's time to inform the awakening about the phony campaign against terrorism. 46% is too high. Can you work your magic keys?

tomorrow. :thumbsup:

I'm sorry, didn't realize. Here:

Poll Gives Bush Worst Marks Yet on Major Issues
By ADAM NAGOURNEY and MEGAN THEE

Published: May 10, 2006

Americans have a bleaker view of the country's direction than at any time in more than two decades, according to the latest New York Times/CBS News poll. Sharp disapproval of President Bush's handling of gasoline prices has combined with intensified unhappiness about Iraq to create a grim political environment for the White House and Congressional Republicans.

Mr. Bush's approval ratings for his management of foreign policy, Iraq and the economy have fallen to the lowest levels of his presidency. He drew poor marks on the issues that have been at the top of the national agenda in recent months, in particular immigration and gasoline prices.

Just 13 percent approved of Mr. Bush's handling of rising gasoline prices. About a quarter said they approved of his handling of immigration, as Congressional Republicans try to come up with a compromise for handling the influx of illegal immigrants into the country.

The poll showed a further decline in support for the Iraq war, the issue that has most eaten into Mr. Bush's public support. The percentage of respondents who said going to war in Iraq was the correct decision slipped to a new low of 39 percent, down from 47 percent in January. Two-thirds said they had little or no confidence that Mr. Bush could successfully end the war.

The poll comes six months before Election Day and well before Labor Day, when Congressional campaigns will be fully engaged. Mr. Bush has shaken up his staff in an effort to improve his political fortunes, and White House aides said they were confident that events in Iraq were improving and that the political effects of high gasoline prices could fade by the election.

Nevertheless, the Times/CBS News poll contained few if any bright notes for Mr. Bush or Congress.

Mr. Bush's political strength continues to dissipate. About two-thirds of poll respondents said he did not share their priorities, up from just over half right before his re-election in 2004. About two-thirds said the country was in worse shape than it was when he became president six years ago. Forty-two percent of respondents said they considered Mr. Bush a strong leader, a drop of 11 points since January.

Mr. Bush's overall job approval rating hit another new low, 31 percent, tying the low point of his father in July 1992, four months before the elder Mr. Bush lost his bid for a second term to Bill Clinton. That is the third lowest approval rating of any president in 50 years; only Richard M. Nixon and Jimmy Carter were viewed less favorably.

...more...

"About two-thirds of poll respondents said he did not share their priorities, up from just over half right before his re-election in 2004."

OVER half said he did not share their priorites BEFORE the election. Hmmm...

From most perceptions, the campaign was all negatives. It's not surprising, then, to find people so disapproving. The "smear boating" worked - but it gave few people warm fuzzies about Smirk other than those habituated to 'faith-based' stances in the face of 'evil' reason. After all, science is the "devil's work."

Thanks for the good news.

their polls are probably worse but it is funny :rofl:

Start another fucking war.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!

And another thing

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I almost forgot:
HAAAAAAAAAAA HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!


ON EDIT:
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:D

another swamprat masterpiece....:toast:

:hi: How's your boy? :hug:

Thanks for asking,sweetie:)

:woohoo: :patriot: :woohoo: :patriot: :woohoo: :patriot: :woohoo: :patriot: :woohoo: :patriot: :woohoo: :patriot: :woohoo: :patriot:

I am very happy for the both of you! :hug:

May he and his buds stay safe.:patriot:

:patriot: :hi:

for another term.

Thank god people are finally waking up from their slumber.

It'a about time. Great news!!

:woohoo:

...and he's got a %25 approval rating on it!

His own phoney issue, created BY repubs FOR repubs-
and it bites them right on their asses.

at the botom he looks like he's trying to sell timeshares in a FL swamp. Maybe the repukes are finally figuring out what we knew all along he's in his second term and doesn't give a f*** about anything or one except his agenda.

They've squandered it and they've gutted it.

Myths die hard and the Republican myth that they are better with the military is a hard one to kill. I can't understand how it got to be this way in the first place because the all the "good" wars were won by Democrats. I guess people think "Republican = mean, nasty, hateful, violent....must be good militarily..." It's all I can figure.

Not unlike the Hindenburg. :evilgrin:

He's an insane dictator, and he still believes he has THE truth. To hell with the rest of us.

I sure hope so.

:-)

though Diebold cares very little about polls.

He's not running again. It's what's happening in the states and congressional districts that counts, and from what I've seen, Repub congresscritters and talk show hosts are doing their usual 'appeal to fear/stir up anxiety' tricks. It could work for them.

I said could. The immigration issue didn't just appear out of nowhere, after all. Someone had that card in his vest and decided to play it in a midterm election year. That's no accident.

I thought we were fighting a war on two fronts. Now, I find out it is only a campaign.

I used to revel in stumbling into an odd Bush-hater, a fellow traveler.

It's so damned commonplace now, it takes all the fun out of it. }(

The authors say represents a 28% approval.
Not bad for more than two years out.

Most of those who gave approval probably haven't seen anything he's done since the election, and he's still a front runner.

lots of heavy work to do but he won't peak to early. He will probably only accept a draft and it's good that he remains the "stealth candidate" for awhile as this al sorts out in the coming year.

He's got good back up now from us folks in the Netroots when the MSM slings their lies at him. But the choice of Gore and Tipper who are "America's perfect family" is gonna look pretty good as the corruption of the Repugs followed by the disarray of the Dems unwinds.

It's going to be tough these next two years...so we can't start to feel overly confident. But damn if these polls aren't great to see after so many of us waiting so long for the rest of America to WAKE UP!

... even though I disapproved of the war."

Well, at least they admit it.

A year ago this would have made me bang my head against the wall, but now I'm starting to wonder if the papers are printing this sort of stuff just to watch people like me react.

"Just 13 percent approved of Mr. Bush's handling of rising gasoline prices."

Good heavens... who are these 13%?

:crazy:

:)

:shrug:

"We should have stayed out of Iraq until we knew more about it," Bernice Davis, a Republican from Lamar, Mo., who said she now disapproved of Mr. Bush's performance, said in a follow-up interview on Tuesday. "The economy is going to pot. Gas prices are escalating. I just voted for Bush because he's a Republican, even though I disapproved of the war. If I could go back, I would not vote for him."

And these are the people who have earned a hearty FUCK YOU from me. We appreciate that you're now having to live through our nightmare.

the nitwit-they-voted-for's policies (of doing nothing except enriching his inner circle at the taxpayers' expense) started hurting THEM, in their wallet$...

They're so pathetic. I need to scream in their deaf ears: (WE TOLD YOU SO!)

republican!

I guess this woman doesn't listen to the corporate media who says the "economy is booming"?

and a great big YEEEEE HAAAAA!! :bounce::woohoo::bounce:

So much for the Rovian claim that "Dems have no ideas." Nobody's buying that crap, KKKarl. Try something else. Unless you're too busy trying to stay out of jail.
