So Bush & CondiLiar got a "bump" from the current ME crisis? WTF?
Edited on Fri Aug-04-06 07:50 PM by theHandpuppet
So according to Wolf Blitzer, a new poll has come out stating that 62% of the American people approve of the job CondiLiar is doing as SoS and Bush's approval numbers got a small bump to 40% approval. All due, says Blitzershnitzel, to the fact that the American people "tend to rally around the President during a time of war." WFT??? This isn't even OUR war and CondiLiar has failed on every diplomatic mission she's ever been on! What are these people smoking?

Please pardon me while I engage in a bit of primal screaming...
AAAAAAAAAAAAAEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!

:banghead:

1. Bush picked up some Republicans that were borderline
Condi's numbers indicate complete ignorance by 62%. All they see is she's flying in a plane. Don't know what the hell she's doing and not accomplishing. But she looks good flying.

She just needs to get slammed harder by more people. That'll whittle it away real good.

8. I doubt 62% of the public could even *name* her job
Edited on Fri Aug-04-06 07:47 PM by theHandpuppet
Much less what she's actually done(or not) in the job.

2. A lot of this is the American cable coverage, which has been completely
uncritical. Almost entirely propaganda.

If the American public got a steady diet of the war coverage from Britain, or ANYWHERE else in the world, there wouldn't be any bump.

7. Blitzer is a discredited Zionist shill
He came from The Jerusalem Post, if you'll recall. The little bearded man is a joke of a real journalist.

11. Wait a sec ...
That poll shows a 59 percent DISAPPROVAL for Bush, up 6 points. So, judging by the last CNN poll conducted, seems the "undecided" folks just chose a side.

12. Funny, Blitzershnitzel didn't mention that!
He did mention the 59% but without the qualifier that this was an increase in the number of those who disapprove. He just mentioned the 40% as being a bump up for Bush.

Further, for the life of me I simply cannot understand why 62% of the American public think CondiLiar has done a great job when she has utterly failed at her most critical missions to date. Upon what are they basing this approval?

14. Bushies Plan is to have every single person in the Middle East
to HATE us and our Nation.

If there is a war...it will be with nukes ...with very little survivors....better to occupy and steal the oil.
