Fox news Poll: Bush at lowest approval rating, Republican support drops
I didnt see this posted yet:

NEW YORK — Today more Americans disapprove than approve of the job performances of President George W. Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney (search) and Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld (search), according to a new FOX News poll. In addition, as many people think radical Muslims are "deeply committed to winning" in the war on terrorism as think the United States is.

The new national poll finds 40 percent of Americans today approve and 51 percent disapprove of the job Bush is doing as president. This is a new low for the president's approval rating — though down only 1 point from last month's low of 41 percent approval.

As has been the case for much of his presidency, Bush's approval rating shows a huge partisan gap; however, this is the first time of his presidency that approval among Republicans has dropped below 80 percent.

23. Good term - "Series" - VegasWolf
"Series" connotates "connected and additive," while "parallel," in physics and electronics, connotates connectivity only.

28. Low As The Ocean Floor
If fox thinks I am going to take them Off my Locked Out Channels mode they are wrong.

In my hand I am holding a print out dated November 8, 2004. It is titled Poll: Voters relieved by decisive election. It states they are hopeful about the next 4 years. Well I hope the dummies that voted for the repukes are still hopeful and relieved. If they voted for the repukes, I say, let them suffer. Us good guys can smile.

3. Watch the Freepers slam this biased liberal poll
Those damn lieberals at Fox interviewed more dems than Republicans and only called blue states and you can look at the actual results and blah blah blah.

Hey FRetards, suck on this.

9. Why do Republicans hate America?
"however, this is the first time of his presidency that approval among Republicans has dropped below 80 percent".

:wtf: How can 80% of Republicans believe the giggling murder monkey is doing a good job/ What the hell is WRONG with these people. Why do they hate America so much that they'll stand behind the fucking retard that's leading this country right into the crapper? Have they no concern for our country? Are partisan politics that important to them that they'll allow "their boy" to destroy the very country they claim to love so much? All of their flag decals, stickers, magnets, clothing ALL OF IT is BULLSHIT! They care about their party, not their country.
JESUS this shit pisses me off. :mad: These people are the most morally bankrupt group since the nazis, and that's not an exaggeration. The herd mentality at it's absolute worst. I might ne able to see it if bush wasn't such a liar and thief, if he actually cared about the country and was trying to do his best for it, but this incompetent boob is a fucking disaster from start to finish!
The question remains; WHY DO REPUBLICANS HATE AMERICA? :grr:

10. They hate gays, pro-choice and anti-war americans, non-christians...
and on and on. And they are dumb enough to believe that Bush and his right wing funded "supporters" will rise to defeat all these "evil doers".

Bush can run this country into debts it's never seen before, let thousands of people suffer and/or die in a hurricane, kill thousands of our soldiers, watch gas prices sky rocket out of control, lie and decieve this country time and time again...and it's all okay if the right wing agenda stays on target.

Republicans: it's all part of the Lords plan. :crazy: :eyes:

11. The Good News as Reported by Faux
Faux has got to try to put a positive spin on this one. Note the reference that this "...a new low for shrub's approval rating - though down only 1 point from last month's low of 41 percent approval."

12. Too bad it's those 80% who vote the most reliably
Democrats can't come up with anything to sell to the average idiot like the republicans can.

25. those 80% who vote the most reliably
Of course they're reliable. If they don't show up at the precinct,
Diebold just e-mails their votes in for them!


Homeland Security issued an alert in 8/04 about the software
backdoor in the Diebold tabulators that allows hackers to change votes:

36. Maybe the idiocy is in the party, not the voters.
Have you considered that GOP-lite isn't much of a motivator?

Economic populism and an immediate end to the war are sure winners.

But for being entirely beholden to corporations and slavishly devoted to the military establishment, nothing is stopping the Democratic Party.

13. the Kool-Aid gulpers would never admit would never turn on their king
until it hit them in the pockets. Well Katrina and gas is doing it. It will get worse. Too bad it had to come to this. Too bad Iraq or the CIA leak, or all the other stuff DU'ers have seen for the past five years. The mighty dollar will certainly make them wake up...now it's too bad they can't even file bankruptcy either.

shame on them for taking so long and letting shrub and company ruin america before they have finally begun to wake up.:rant:

22. "Radical Muslims"? More like Iraqi resistance...
that comes in many parts of Iraqi society, including Islamists, secularists, communists, and many others. So that is part of the Fox spin to this poll.

39. 11% of DINOs approve...
Of course the pollsters ask if they are REGISTERED as Dems or Reptiles. In districts that regularly tilt Dem, a lot of Reptiles will register as Dems so that can have some say in their local elections, by voting in Dem primarys. Dems do the same in pathologically Reptilian districts.
