I guess this has probably already been posted and I missed it, buried within all of the racist hysteria posts. I wonder if this is why we are being bombarded with anti-Obama posts? Like cats,they are trying to cover up their own crap.

Poll: More disapprove of Bush than any other president

WASHINGTON DC (CNN) -- A new poll suggests that President Bush is the most unpopular president in modern American history.

A quick comment to the American electorate:

"Told ya so"

Wow, you are late. I posted on this last night.

cue the: "But, but, but....Jimmy Carter was worse" baloney.

You know what the hilarious thing is? In the past 18 months, almost every republican that has had the balls to discuss bush has claimed that they never really liked bush, that they knew he kinda sucked, and they just had to hold their nose and vote for him to keep socialists like kerry and gore out.

And yet, if you look at the poll numbers from 2001 to about 2006, Bush job approval numbers among republicans was consistently in the 80 to 90% range. The vast majority thought he was doing a good job.

Methinks there's a lot of historical revisionism going on.

Yeah, it's like the 69 world series.

LOL.

 

[Damocles]

Anyway, as I said last night, on the thread with basically the same title.

It is my theory that this will continue as it is no longer something to fear to say you dislike Bush in R circles...

See, Damo? THIS is funny....

I noted that.

Sarcasm isn't always meant to be 'funny' in the same way. But then, you have stated you are inept at it.

 

[Jarod]

Remember when the subtext was that because Bush is popular he must be right.

 

[FUCK THE POLICE]

We shall have a humble foreign policy.

I will be a uniter, not a divider.

 

[uscitizen]

LOL, yeah the uniter rhetoric. One more reason why I speak of republicanspeak as being 180 deg. out of phase with truth.

 

[uscitizen]

Lets not forget that we should not be the police force of the world or into nation building ...
Or balanced budget.

Yup.

All things I supported that went awry after "9-11 changed everything"....

*sigh*

And the reason I didn't vote for Bush again. That and my total discomfort at having the NSA listen to conversations where domestic parties might be involved. This was so ingrained in me to avoid that crap when I was there, it almost made me physically ill when I saw that. I can't imagine the people there and how they felt.

 

[Jarod]

The constitution is just a piece of paper.

I don’t see how Onceler is not adept at sarcasm. He has pretty much the driest wit here. Damo I think you should go to comedy school. In order to be funny there must be a humorous climax. You are just not hitting the climax.

Oh yeah.

Darla, Onceler has stated several times on this board that he sucks at the sarcasm thing. Directly stated it. So stop defending him on that. There is no need to defend what he admits to sucking at.

Again, "funny" is not the intent of dry sarcasm. At least not in the non-nuanced LOL type of funny that you seem to think is the only way wit can be used.

 

[Cancel7]

Yup.

Imagine how you would feel if you were me. A peace activist with a penchant for phone sex.
