1. He's a pathological liar.

It has just taken a long time for people to figure it out.

Peace.

[Pachamama]

85. Actually, he's a Narcisstic Sociopath...he actually believes what he is

saying...

I've got several friends who are Psychoanalysts and Psychologists....they all have given this diagnosis and I even did a mock conversation with one of them as to demonstrate to me how a sociopath thinks.

It was crazy! I'd be told to ask a question, pretending that the analyst was Bush and I'd ask a question about "Do you think that now that you have discovered there are no WMD's that the War on Iraq was a mistake?" The answers would first start out with an excuse and then within seconds go into another discussion and justification for something.

The deal is this: A Narcissitic Sociopath like Bush will not only never truly admit to making a specific mistake, there will always be excuses and blame for others. And, frighteningly enough, he ACTUALLY BELIEVES HIS OWN BULLSHIT!

That, to me, is even scarier than a pathological liar....Atleast liars probably realize that they are lying...

Of course, this is on what the wingnuts call the "Communist News Network." Let's consult that bastion of truth and integrity, Faux News:

Do you think President Bush's Sunday night address to the nation will improve his approval ratings?
a. Yes (68%)
b. No (26%)
c. Not sure (6%)

Note: no numbers given for the Faux poll. Maybe only 42 people voted in the Faux poll, who knows? Or maybe they just make up the numbers, Diebold style.

[alcibiades_mystery]

77. The question conveys the bias

This is straight out of the WH Communications office.

Bush's entire goal over the last week has been to present himself as an optimist while his critics are pessimists. The question lets Bush's team have it both ways, while reinforcing the message.

[OregonBlue]

78. Down to 69% pessimistic!

Rather then look at the percentages, look at the vote numbers. Wow!

FReepers got on a roll, to back up * apparently. That's not what I hear everywhere I go, and mostly from Repub voters at that!
Not everyone is on the Internet, nor knowlegable with regards to these polls. Many say they've never even heard of these polls, much less watch *.
