Everyone should ask himself: Where in this graph was I on September 12th 2001?

[Smith_3]

[TwilightGardener]

1. I hated him from day one, and that has not changed. I actually thought

he looked like an ass with his megaphone.

[readmoreoften]

2. Glad to say same exact place I am now.

Although my distain has solidified a great deal.

[greenbriar]

3. hated him then

hate him now



thoguht he was a dumb SOB for ducking around in the plane like a scared little pissant

[malaise]

51. Ditto n/t

[ananda]

4. In negative numbers, for sure.

nt

[proud patriot]

5. I was an 8 percenter when

92% approved of bush ...

[SeattleGirl]

6. Couldn't stand him at all, not then, not now.

I sure wasn't "with him" on 9/11 either. And his grandstanding with the megaphone and fireman just turned my stomach.

[Dumak]

17. I thought he was incredibly cowardly

for the few days after 9/11 when he went into hiding without communicating with the public. Just the opposite of what a president should do.

That (along with his bizarre behavior in the classroom) let me to believe he may have been somehow involved.

[peace13]

7. Oh no, fool me once can't get fooled again.

Actually I was never for him and he certainly did not gain stature after 911. It does seem so long ago. Peace, Kim

[Ikonoklast]

8. My position is not on the graph

It doesn't show less than zero.

[tekisui]

9. I never, NEVER, supported the criminal occupying the WH.

NEVER.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

10. Never liked him, and I've been at "loathe" at times, but my

"applause meter" has never gotten above "dislike" since he first appeared on the scene.

I can't think of a single thing that he's done that I've supported, and that's a first.

[Hydra]

11. Zero support all the way

I couldn't believe everyone flipping for him on 9/11! He let it happen!

[SammyWinstonJack]

54. No kidding! My first thought was what has george done now?

[Hydra]

60. Mine was:

"No way! He couldn't...he didn't...oh, shit. What's next?"

[Turbineguy]

12. Right where I am now

and have always been. I hate change!

[Junkdrawer]

13. Was it really 90% or did those polled feel obligated to say they approved....

witness the steep 35% in one year drop.

[PCIntern]

Not for one frigging minute did I 'support' him,

the lies just never ever stopped for an instant.

After the recount, and the disenfranchisement and the lies and the Nazi tactics, I wouldn't support him if aliens landed.

.

[karlrschneider]

14. That graph lacks an ordinate low enough to show my opinion of the son of a bitch

on that date or any other.

[countingbluecars]

15. Everyone should ask himself

Why did Bush and the White House lie and manipulate the intelligence? Why did they out a CIA agent?
These approval ratings are based on lies.

[ixion]

16. never have liked him...and 7 years of his crap has solidified my worst fears

from back in '99.

He is a failed businessman, and spoiled brat. He shouldn't be able to get a job as dog catcher, much less POTUS.

[Javaman]

18. I had the fucktard *for a governor for 8 long miserable years...

then as a fucktard prez*. that's 15 fucking years I've had to deal with that lying bastard*.

Trust me. I knew from the start it was an inside job.

Read up sometime on funeral gate.

He* was a fucking liar then, he* was a fucking liar on 9/11 and he's* a fucking liar now.

[Individualist]

19. Where I am now

Sept. 12, '01 was the day I learned the government had been warned about such an attack. THE BASTARDS DID NOTHING TO STOP IT BECAUSE THAT WAS THEIR "NEW PEARL HARBOR"!

[sam sarrha]

20. i'm from texas.... ZERO... from day one.. Zero for all Bu$h's since Reagan

[Torn_Scorned_Ignored]

21. Actually I'm more intrigued by your signature line

there are zero Muslim Christians.

[caraher]

28. You do get the message, though...

the claim that there are many self-professed Christians who aren't "truly" Christian as there are Muslims (total).

I won't even try to assess whether that claim is true...

[sicksicksick_N_tired]

22. I was naive. I believed he was NOT a 'nation-builder' and akin to common folks.

I was ignorant of his and his family's history and the history of their constituents.

In spite of all that, I participated in every PRE-IRAQ WAR PROTEST because,...I woke up to (what I thought was) OBVIOUS PROPAGANDA.

:shrug:

Forgive me for being involved in something other than the politics that turns everyone off, as bad now as ever.

However, after being fully 'aware' of life greater than my little one, I must say the greatest enemy is the "MONSTER IN THE BOX",...that would be the most manipulative machine in American history: the fucked-up "news media" driven by profit without enough principle to chew. If I were able to convict for violation of democracy, the 'news media' would be FIRST along with the radio hate-mongers, the congress critters that whored to corporacrats would be 3rd and the corporations along with their K-Street WHORES would be at the top of the list of REGULATORY DESTRUCTION in order to ensure healthy competition.

[AzDar]

23. Proud 8 % 'er here!

He's ALWAYS been a bumbling dootchbag to me!:hi:

[Eurobabe]

24. Overseas and off the charts in the negatives

along with the rest of the sane population of Europe.

[mnhtnbb]

25. No approval from me for him since Day 1--or even before!

[gaspee]

26. I've had

An "irrational hatred" according to the right wing, from the first time I laid eyes on him. I consider it rational and based in fact. I was living in Texas at the time and he was running for governor of Texas and slimed a great lady, Ann Richards, in his slimy greedy bid for that office.

The man sparked a deep seated revulsion in me from day one. I have a blog proving it. I lost many online "friends" between Sep 11 and the lead up to the Iraq war - even for the first two years of the war. I loathe the man and everything he stands for. Including his constituency.

[Richard Steele]

27. Everyone should ask themself what the fuck your agenda is today, Smith.

I have.

[countingbluecars]

29. No kidding! eom

[Smith_3]

30. Preaching Christianity one could call it.

;-)

[tekisui]

36. You lost me. Maybe you should be knocking on doors if you wanna

preach christianity.

[Ignis]

57. Christ wanted us to massacre Iraqis in Fallujah with napalm?

I must have missed that Bible verse.

:eyes:

[karlrschneider]

63. Meanwhile you probably shouldn't smoke that shit.

...

[karlrschneider]

34. If you figger it out, let us know...

gotta be something nefarious...

[hfojvt]

35. Considering this is a 44 magnum. The question you've gotta ask yourself, is

'do I feel lucky?'

Well, do ya, punk?

[SammyWinstonJack]

56. ...

:thumbsup:

[ismnotwasm]

31. I don't have to ask myself

He's a miserable excuse for a human being and completely unqualified to run a tiny second hand store.

If there was a way to go into negative ratings, that would be where I've always been.

[spanone]

32. not relevant, many of his followers have come to loathe him. there was much confusion after 911

i hated the bastard when he beat ann richards in texas.

[Perry Logan]

33. I remember thinking, "Oh my God--and us without a President."

[JDPriestly]

37. And he thinks that he can recover his presidency if he invades Iran

No way. No way.

[walldude]

38. LMAO.. you've gotta be kidding...

Let's see, dodged the draft, failed in every miserable business venture he's ever been in, bought his way into the Governors seat, proceeded to make Houston the most polluted city in the union, allowed Texas to become the most corrupt state Government in the union, stole the presidential election, allowed corporations to dictate U.S. policy, sat in a classroom reading a fucking book while our country was under attack, lied about who did it, started a real war on false information, let a U.S. city drown, subverted the constitution, stole away civil liberties, outed a CIA agent who was keeping WMD's out of the hands of terrorists, killed the economy, put our grandchildren into debt, and all the while laughed and smiled about the whole thing, like it was a big fucking college prank. If that graph went to the lowest circles of hell that still wouldn't be low enough to show my opinion of George W. Bush before or after Sept 11th.

[SammyWinstonJack]

58. Heckuvajob "legacy" he's built for himself.

And at the expense for so many innocent people. What filth he is. :puke:

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

39. The graph doesn't go south far enough to see myself.

[endarkenment]

40. I was at the inauguration of the pretender protesting his theft

of the election. My position has never changed. My opinion of what happened to us on 9-11 is clarified by reading Shock Doctrine, by reading everything by Chalmers Johnson, by Noam Chomsky's body of work, by having grown up with the assassinations of Malcom, Kennedy, King and Kennedy, with the Vietnam War, with Nixon's domestic operations against the antiwar movement, and with the neoliberal counter revolution that started here with Reagan's October Surprise. I actually read the PNAC documents BEFORE 9-11. They got their pearl harbor. What a coincidence. I am one of those leftist dead enders who grew up with tear gas and riots and never forgot what I knew to be true. We told you so. I take no comfort in that.

[RoadRage]

41. I'm not on there.. have always been a "ZERO" NT

[onethatcares]

42. don't support, never have, never will that includes his entire family

hell, jebthro is almost lower than him at this point in my historical sphere. but georgie is numero uno.

[riverdeep]

43. Where was I?

On the graph, I would be at the same place I am now, in the 'strongly disapprove' column. Too bad that's as strong as the language gets.

Mentally, I was in for a painful education. I never realized how gullible America was. I watched it being led into mindless rah-rah patriotism right off a damn cliff.

May I take this opportunity to point out someone, a hero whose name is largely forgotten, Barbara Lee, Dem from California. She was the only member of Congress to vote no on the Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Terrorists, because the way it was written granted sweeping powers to the President the Constitution did not grant. She turned out to be frighteningly correct, of course.

[Big Blue Marble]

44. I was in that 10% who never fell for his "leadership in crisis" mode. n/t

[NRaleighLiberal]

45. Despised him then, despise him now. Proud 8 percenter here!

[juno jones]

46. snap, snap, snap

HATED HIM!

Just glad I don't feel so freaking alone anymore, now that everybody else can see what I was bitching about the whole time.

[Kucinich4America]

47. Couldn't stand him from the first time I saw him on TV in 1999

But then, I never liked his daddy either.

[damntexdem]

48. The same place as now, unless ...

one can go below zero.

[Beausoir]

49. I never EVER recognized him as the President. He was nothing more than an embrassment then and he

is nothing more than an embarassment now.

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

50. Hated him before I knew him, hated him when I met him, hate him now

That's one thing you can COUNT on.

[SammyWinstonJack]

52. Hating the NOT elected little monkey and thinking he had something too do with the attacks of the

previous day. Clear enough for you? :eyes:

[Z_I_Peevey]

53. I'm a proud nine percenter!

Not once did I ever give that sorry SOB the benefit of the doubt. Not for one second.

[Lilith Velkor]

55. Yeah, because it's not like they can REMEMBER or anything like that

This post is moronic even by DU standards. :crazy:

[uppityperson]

59. Why should everyone ask themselves this? Why?

[MedleyMisty]

61. In the top five percent, like always ;)

I remember that my first reaction was sadness - I was driving around listening to stories of survivors on the radio and crying. Then the station played John Lennon's Imagine with a lot of sound clips from it, and that pretty much summed up my feelings.

I did have some hope at first that we would respond well as a nation - I never had any faith in Bush. But then the bombs started dropping on Afghanistan and everyone seemed so full of hate and vengeance and I knew we were fucked.

[pinto]

62. Thought the guy was going to embroil the Mid East from the git go. 9/11 didn't change that for me.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

64. Being a Texas democrat, I knew he was a snake before America put him in their pocket

I'm still amazed at the fact that he had any support ever.

[Hoof Hearted]

65. Graph doesn't work for me because there are no negative values available to plot

Which is where you would find my dot from day one till today with only minor variations between -65% to -95% with 0 representing the worst boss I've ever had and -100% representing the level of pure revulsion and hatred one should reserve for Hitler, Stalin and Pol-Pot.

[OnionPatch]

66. Always believed he was completely brain-dead

It was horrifying to realize who was in charge at the very time when we needed a good leader.

[piedmont]

67. A poll of me, myself, and I would read 0% since the earliest days of his candidacy back in '99-2000.

I've always known that goober is too dumb and too mean to be in charge of anything.

[Solly Mack]

68. I don't have to ask - I fucking KNOW. I NEVER supported Bush

I NEVER supported invading Afghanistan or Iraq

Bush NEVER had my support and NEVER will.

Some of us didn't need to buy a vowel.

[pleah]

69. ZERO, since before Godless Warmongering Bastard was placed in office.

[Xenotime]

70. YOur election day is wrong

[JackRiddler]

71. Wondering whether the Bush mob was behind the attacks

You really believe the 90 percent bullshit?

[dysfunctional press]

72. 9/11 didn't change a thing in regard to my opinion of lil' boots.
