If he in fact gets to do some of the things he's supposed to be doing in his last few "effective" days in office (before Nov. 20) regarding abortion, birth control, and deregulation, then that number could actually get into the teens.

65. IMPEACH HIM! Convict him and strip him of his retirement benefits. He doesn't need them since he
looted the US Treasury and I am quite sure his bank account has increased as a result.

54. Assuming we're talking about every American citizen being of voting age, which we are NOT.
Edited on Tue Nov-04-08 07:09 PM by ZeitGuy
If we were talking about those ELIGIBLE to vote, we'd be talking about 20% of 220 million, or 44 million voters.

But, in fact, we are talking about 20% of those who actually vote (about 150 million in 2004), which is roughly 30 million, or one out of every ten Americans.

So, it's safe to say that somewhere around one out of every ten eligible voters (or around one out of every seven who usually votes) is willing to continue to support the Residency of a village idiot who made their lot in life worse, because they simply can't bring themselves to admit that they're as dumb as a box of hammers.

Funny how they're all Repugnicans. Interesting how that works out, isn't it?

55. My post Bush Dream
My post Bush dream is to watch Bush get prosecuted for treason, murder, high crimes and misdemeanors and crimes against humanity.

I'll be doing what I can to support a concerted effort to this end after Obama is inaugurated. I refuse to let these criminals get away without accounting for their crimes and betrayal of their country and oaths of office.

66. I think the press is helping throw the election to Obama
We have said for a long time that Bush's base is 28 percent of the American electorate--high-ranking military people, very hardcore fundamentalist Christians and very rich people. We were absolutely POSITIVE that his base would never desert him.

RIght now, he's lost 28 percent (I divided 100 by 28, then multiplied by eight to get that) of his base.

This election, more than any other I remember, is a referendum on the prior president because of the Republican standardbearer's surgical attachment to Shrub. If they were trying to help McCain get in, the press would have withheld numb-nuts' approval rating until tomorrow.

And on a lighter note...oh, my God, 20 percent is seriously bad.
