| 2005/11/2-4 [Politics/Domestic/President/Bush] UID:40411 Activity:kinda low |
11/2 Wow, has only Nixon been more unpopular than Dubya in the 2nd term?
http://csua.org/u/dws (cbsnews.com)
\_ Heh, I got as for as "Dubya" before I realized that you weren't
talking about World of warcraft.
\_ But Dubya is the Great Uniter! He said so himself!!1!
\_ He's united everyone against him
\- the people who voted for BUSHCO in 2004 were:
1. single issue fanatics [abort,keep down assmastery,gunnuts]
2. NPV voters
3. stupid [bubba, cletus an me hate dem DEATH TAXES]
some single issue people got nervous with HARRIET THE JUDGE,
NPV people may be getting nervous about macro factors,
but i suppse he still has his "base" ... #3.
\_ 4. Flip-flopper haters.
\- 5. and people who SERVED ... oh wait ... and people who
*serve* the EVIL CYBORG.
\_ BUD DAY doesn't like your CYBORG.
\_ Are you human? Do you understand the effect
cybernetics had on humanity?
\_ what does NPV stand for?
\- "net present value". i.e. voters who say "ok maybe
bush is soft on torture, has tarnished our international
reputation etc, but i expect to have $130,456 more
if i vote for BUSHCO, so that's what i'll do. when i
travel abroad i can tell people i am from canada."
of course some of these NPV people probably dont care
at all about other issues [Halliburton executives]
or are being compensated via other means [Brownie ...
crony is a sub class of NPV]
\_ Maybe we can get this scumbag brought up on War Crime charges
afterall. At this rate, he will have no defenders left in three
years. |

| csua.org/u/dws -> www.cbsnews.com/stories/2005/11/02/opinion/polls/main1005327.shtml Bush's low job approval is far below that of some of his two-term predece ssors at this point in their second terms. In November 1985, President R eagan had a 65 percent approval rating, and Bill Clinton's job approval in November 1997 was 57 percent. Bush's rating is higher than Richard Ni xon's was at the same point in his administration. In Ja nuary 1998, when facing questions about his affair with Monica Lewinsky, President Clinton's job approval ratings actually rose, reaching the lo w 70s, and remained at least in the 60s throughout the rest of that year . President Reagan's job approval rating dropped by more than 20 points to 46 percent in November 1986, just after public disclosures about the Iran-Contra scandal. During 1987 Reagan's approval rating hovered around 50 percent, but began to rise again in 1988. President Richard Nixon's approval rating fell as the Watergate scandal became public in the first half of 1973, and was at about 25 percent during 1974. President Bush's approval rating has been experiencing a slow but steady decline since 2004.
