Shrub's Sinking in the Polls Because He's So Successful (Up is Down)
"It is not that President Bush has failed. His ratings are tanking because he has succeeded too well."

Or so says Dick Morris in today's copy of The Hill. Yes, it is his incredible success that has him plunging in the polls. He's just so great, that we can't stand it anymore. Really. We can't stand it anymore. I assume then that FDR's four terms were the consequence of being a huge failure? Hmm.

Morris also adds this bit of insight, "The decreased urgency of undermine his campaign. When America was on orange alert in December and early January, Bush was in the high 50s. Now that we are back to normal, he’s in the high 40s." I actually have to agree. When the Bushies try to put the fear in everyone with orange alerts and the spectre of chemical attacks, then people want to believe that their pResident* will protect them. Odds are fairly good that we'll have another orange alert in time for the November elections. Probably right after they thaw Osama out of the ice bin where he's being kept until the right time.

So just remember. To succeed in life, you must first fail. And if people don't like you, it's only because you're so successful. And if you still can't figure it out, scare the bejeezus out of everyone until they break.

1. Well, that's pretty much in line with the MisAdministration

The fact that the economy sucks means it's improving. No jobs means jobs soon. Anarchy and chaos in Iraq means success there.

Of course, Dicky is a moron to boot.

7. There is one constant with this group of yahoos..
Every time you think you've heard it all, that they can't make up anything any wilder, they go and do it again.
How in Hades can they be so creative?:crazy:

9. Toesucker admitted last night that if the election were held
right now AWOL would lose in a landslide(On Hannity and colmes). He basically said AWOL has to run on War, war, war, terror, terror, terror to have any chance of beating the Dems.

11. What's his election slogan going to be?
"I may not be able to run a country, but I'm great at invading others!"

His approval ratings are abysmal because he is. He's only ever been popular when people have been afraid. That's not leadership, that's psychological abuse of the electorate.
