1. nah, I think the absolute bottom would be 12-15% range
Remember, 18 or 19% of Americans think they are among the richest 1% of the country that really benefited from the Bush tax cuts. So, probably 75% of those people support Bush...

4. Same type who went around Jonestown and squirted cyanide into kids mouths because Jim told them to
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Jones

Jim Jones

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

James Warren "Jim" Jones (May 13, 1931 – November 18, 1978) was the American founder of the Peoples Temple, which became synonymous with group suicide after the November 18, 1978 mass murder-suicide by poison in their isolated agricultural intentional community called Jonestown, located in Guyana. Over nine hundred people died from cyanide poisoning or gunshot wounds after Jones ordered his men to kill visiting Congressman Leo Ryan and numerous members of his entourage.

Early life and founding of Temple

Jones was born in Crete, Indiana to Lynetta Putnam and James Thurman Jones.<1> He graduated from Richmond High School in Richmond, Indiana. He became a preacher in the 1950s. He obtained a bachelors degree at Butler University in 1961, and after graduate school at Indiana University in Bloomington, Indiana, Jim sold pet monkeys door-to-door to raise the money to fund his own church <2> that would be named Wings of Deliverance. He later renamed his church the Peoples Temple, which was located in Indianapolis. He became an ordained minister in 1964 in the mainstream Christian denomination, Disciples of Christ. The church was distinctive for its equal treatment of African Americans, and many of them became members of the church. He started a struggle for racial equality and social justice, which he dubbed apostolic socialism. After leaving Indiana, the Peoples Temple cult built its home in Redwood Valley, California, because Jones believed it was one of the few places in the world likely to survive a nuclear holocaust. Jones authored a booklet, called "The Letter Killeth" pointing out what he felt were the contradictions, absurdities, and atrocities in the Bible, but also stating that the Bible contained great truths. He was particularly fascinated with his ability to manipulate people. Throughout the years, the young Jones perfected his craft and was very skilled in his new found art.<3> He claimed to be an incarnation of Jesus, Akhenaten, Buddha, Lenin, and Father Divine and performed supposed miracle healings to attract new members. Members of Jones' church called Jones "Father" and believed that their movement was the solution to the problems of society, and many did not distinguish Jones from the movement. The group gradually moved away from the mainstream.

Jonestown and mass murder-suicide

In the summer of 1977, Jones and most of the 1,000 members of the Peoples Temple moved to Guyana from San Francisco after an investigation into the church for tax evasion had begun. Jones named the closed settlement Jonestown after himself. His intention was to create an agricultural utopia in the jungle, free from racism and based on socialist principles.

People who had left the organization prior to its move to Guyana told the authorities of brutal beatings, murders and of a mass suicide plan, but they were not believed. In spite of the tax evasion allegations, Jones was still widely respected for setting up a racially mixed church which helped the disadvantaged. Around 70% of the inhabitants of Jonestown were black and impoverished. Religious scholar Mary McCormick Maaga argued that Jones' authority waned after he moved to the isolated commune, because there he was not needed for recruitment and he could not hide his drug addiction from rank and file members.<4>

In November 1978, U.S. Congressman Leo Ryan led a fact-finding mission to the Jonestown settlement in Guyana after allegations by relatives in the U.S. of human rights abuses. Ryan's delegation arrived in Jonestown on November 15 and spent three days interviewing residents. The delegation left hurriedly on the morning of Saturday November 18, after an attempt was made on Ryan's life by a man armed with a knife. The attack was thwarted, bringing the visit to an abrupt end. Congressman Ryan and his people succeeded in taking with them roughly fifteen Peoples Temple members who had expressed a wish to leave. At that time, Jones made no attempt to prevent their departure. However, Peoples Temple survivors reported that a group from Jonestown left shortly afterwards in a truck with the intention of stopping the delegation and members from leaving the country alive.

30. Hi, Lisa. thank you right back for remembering me to Bush's ridiculous
"hard work" line in the first debate.

I apologize to you northern neighbors for the mess our little George is making. We'll do better next time -- I promise!

33. "Dick! Why din't you tell me these darn babies need so much chewin'? It's takin' me forever!"
(I'm still laughing over this -- just have a weird sense of humour, I guess.)

Don't worry about apologizing for Dubya. You have our sympathies up here (it's bad enough coping with Stephen Harper!).

11. Yet another letter to editor in my local paper by a supporter
praising his presidential abilities, growing economy, job rate, success in Iraq and the tired adage that we haven't been attacked since 9/11.
Either they just do not have a clue or have made lots of money on war industry stocks, which is the case in my area of rich Republicans.

23. If they have stock in Halliburton or KBR or Blackwater they have reason to be pleased, I suppose
as long as they have no conscience, no true religious or spiritual beliefs, no empathy for other living things or the earth, etc.

Yes, if money and power is absolutely all a person cares about, I suppose they might consider the war in Iraq and Afghanistan a "success."

14. And the headlines the next day would be something along the lines of
"Fearless President Single-handedly Subdues, Devours Sleeper-Wearing Sleeper Cell," courtesy of our bootlicking media, Bill Kristol would rave about what a brilliant strategic decision it was while telling himself that he really isn't an incompetent nitwit, and Joe Lieberman would be making the talk show rounds (read: whoring himself on FoxNews) to tell anyone who'll listen that he would've done exactly the same thing in the president's predicament, and that if you're against eating babies, the terrorists win.

16. Then Kristol and Leiberman would call for attacks on Iran.
And the war media would show endless file footage of brown babies making evil grimaces and doing evil things, like crying.

24. I tend to agree. Many of those 30%ers are Fox Noise Sheep.
Fox Noise would never air the video of Bush munching on babies, and if Fox Noise didn't report it, it didn't happen! Any of the stations airing it would be accused of editing the tape.
