Cheney's approval rating now 7 points below public child-beating

Cheney now seven points behind the public beating of children
Thursday, 03 November 2005

Bush's approval rating has fallen to 35. Maybe America is starting to realize that secret prisons and endless war aren't really the best government we can possibly hope for.

Dick Cheney, in the same poll, has a 19 percent approval rating.

19 percent.

That's two points less popular than cheating on your spouse and seven points behind corporal punishment in schools (scroll down).

That's down in what can be politely called lunatic territory. As I've been pointing out for years, twenty or thirty percent of Americans believe any insane thing you can imagine.

Dick Cheney is now 18 points behind the number of people who believe alien beings have secretly contacted the U.S. government.

Bush, similarly, now trails the number of people who think astrology is scientific by five points.

Scottie McClellan, however, can still spin things: Bush only trails the aliens by two points.

3. So the general public is saying it is better to beat your children and
cheat on your wife than to have Dick Cheney as VP.

4. Best line is the one about "lunatic territory"

5. Oh yeah? Well, uhm, Cheney's still ahead of . . .
Hmmmm. Okay, I don't have any polling information handy, but I'd bet that 19% is more than the number of people who go in for mother raping, father stabbing and father raping.

Prolly.

10. IMO: the scary part is that these guys don't care what the public thinks
They have the power and they are going to rape the country as much as they can right now.
They are just thumbing their nose at all of us. Until there is an indictment against the top officials bu$h and/or Cheney, they will continue to abuse power.

I will however put this in the face of all the repukes that are currently on my hit list. More to feed my pet republicans

24. This article really put things in perspective for me
Bush's base is not the god-fearing christian right. His base comprises uneducated, superstitious, brainwashed Americans. The folks who believe in astrology and aliens. It is simply a side-benefit that a significant number belong to both groups.

25. True story,
Today I went to the grocery store and as I was walking through the parking lot this car had a Bush/Cheney sticker. The kicker was that the bottom part with Cheney had been cut off. You could actually see where they had lifted the bottom part and then cut his name off! Made me laugh out loud.
