Even Rasmussen can't keep chimp's numbers up....
It may be a * administration low (and is still way too high), but Rasmussen has the idiot sun as 37% approve, 61% disapprove (with an astounding 45% strongly disapprove against a flaccid 18% strongly approve - the truly deranged, I suspect). This poll has been one of the few to be on the high side....the real numbers must truly be (deservedly) horrific!

4. Pareto's Principle
"20 percent of your staff will cause 80 percent of your problems"

Just substitute voting population for "staff"

8. true and how many of these 20% have benefited from Bush
Edited on Sun Apr-08-07 01:56 PM by MissWaverly
look at the sweetheart contracts, the crony hiring of sons, wives and daughters, the
relaxed enforcement of govt. regs. Hey, these individuals must comprise a large number,
esp. those who have benefited from the faith based initiatives.

$14 million in federal faith-based money goes to Pat Robertson
Televangelist's claim that Ariel Sharon's stroke was an act of God
may have cost him the friendship of some Israelis, but it hasn't prevented
his charity, Operation Blessing, from garnering faith-based grants from the U.S. government...the Reverend's charitable organization, Operation Blessing,
was raking in wads of faith-based money from the Bush Administration.

Charles Henderson, a Presbyterian minister who heads up
Christianity.about.com, recently pointed out that in 2001 Operation
Blessing made some awfully strange purchases. The organization that prides
itself on helping the poor and hungry in third world countries spent more
than $2.5 million on Ensure, a dietary supplement and Splenda,
a no calorie sweetener -- and more than $10.4 million on candy and panty hose.

2. Rasmussen (himself) is a Repub. Rasmussen (the pollster)
was the most accurate in 2006. Their Bush numbers are always higher than everyone elses though.

3. And even the M$M devoted Corporate Whores can't make us support such an INCOMPETENT!
But oh they try so hard to find something legitimate and noble within The Unitary Executive. It's getting pathetic watching how the M$M scratches around for tidbits to fluff up this Idiot King. It's beyond time that they face the truth that not even the M$M can continue this hollow cheer leading for endless war against a frigging TACTIC.

The American People are sick of having our tax dollars fund the war machine at the expense of our children's education and our "public welfare" (Building roads and highways, a myriad other public service organizations that have been dumped to pay the War Corporations).

No, not even the M$M is that good when people are FEELING THE PAIN in both lives lost and jobs transferred overseas.

I can feel it coming - great discontent by the populace. Democrats AND (sane) working Republicans alike. We've had enough WAR! Bring the troops home now!

10. it's not just the War, 111 million for Blackwater mercenaries
money for Pat Robertson's Operation Blessing, special perks for big oil, the list goes on
and on for things that should have never been done, and would have never been approved
by Congress. We have the $45,000 for office supplies for Cheney's Office morphing into the
yacht for Duke Cunningham.

5. I don';t agree with the question's method
No one somewhat dies, no one somewhat votes, and no one somewhat pays for DimSon's busted budgets.

I would rather see a 'no opinion' because those people literally do not count. They don't vote, they aren't informed, and so who cares about them?

12. Hard to believe that there is ANYONE left in this country who approves of that
childish, spoiled, petulant, juvenile, unqualified, unelected imbecile.

Truly frightening.
