Ok... I'm calling bullshit.... Disapproval ratings reach a high point ?
What kind of fucked up logic is that ? Talk about whoring for the potus... this is over the top.

Here is the headline:
http://www.cnn.com/2005/POLITICS/06/27/bush.poll/index.html

The sick thing is they are trying to make it sound like this is the highest his lowest has ever been... Try that on you average Walmart shopper and wait for the look of total confusion. "the highest a low has ever been"

If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck...its a FUCKING duck...

Disapproval ratings don't reach "HIGHS"... they reach lows.... ask anyone that trades in the stock market... Is a 52week low a high ? WTF are they smoking there at CNN?

2. They are smoking " Kissy Kissy " stuff


Have you noticed ROVE was not able to give them their marching orders until this morning.

Now they are back on track and sounding ridiculous.

6. cnn was rushed to get the latest shark statistics, runaway bride update
and checking up on the expense reports from Aruba to care overly much about being trusted or accurate. Don't look anymore your IQ will instantly go up. If you watched faux you may need to check into a facility...

7. Shameless propagandists, plain and simple. Anti-democratic scum.

Edit:
Note how the accompanying picture supports your call, Mazerat. Showing * in a "high point" pose with some dickhead cheering just below the words 'high point' in the headline.

I'd hate to be part of that propaganda organisation.

10. I read it differently..says the disapproval rate is highest ever..but tho
the approval rate is low it has hit that low before. I don't trust CNN anymore anyways, but this time it was just confusing.

14. LMAO
Look at Junior! What's he doing with his mouth? Looks like he's sucking in to hock a loogie!

And...And...Have they no shame? That headline is so limp it's not even convincing enough to seem desperate. LOL! No doubt about it in my mind -- the bozos are losing it.

(That Bush boy is something else, ain't he? Yep! Howdy Doodey on airplane glue...)

Actually you gotta admire the level of bullsh*t they will push their 'viewers' to.

Dont you know that up is down, and down is up?

Sheesh, get with the program.

17. The Mofo "Journalists" really have me reeling this evening
Every time * squats and takes a shit, they hold up that shit and ask us to rub it in our faces.

"Look! I'm holding it! And it doesn't even smell at all!"

I am so disgusted - even with the local bullshit anchors. They aren't journalists, they're fucking greedy bottomfeeders who would have their own grannies shot if it might put a few more $$$$$$$ in their pockets.

1984 in 2005. May every treasonous bastard in "news" face a goddamn firing squad. Smiling when they tell us another soldier has died. Smiling when the local "news" anchors try to sell Jesus with the nightly newscast. I am so pissed right now, I just can't even tell you.


Disapproval rating at a high point. Oh, yeah. My disapproval is the highest it has ever been. May George W. Fucking AWOL Cocaine addict B*sh and his minions rot in hell.

:rant:

21. You just made my evening
Never saw that before, but i swear that's what i was thinking tonight. They hold up his nasty feces and proclaim them sweet-smelling and refreshing, when any fool with a brain knows they're just holding up plain, old, stinky BUSHIT!!!!

Thanks. I was on a rampage a while ago. I'm calmer now. But I have three kids in this house that are 19-20, another one who has already served, and when I saw the smarmy face of this local news anchor smiling as she told me about another kid's death - and then I saw his sweet young face in that military portrait, I just lost it.

The deaths are really getting to me, mostly because I know they die for greed and lust for power and i can't understand why we let them get away with it, and why ...oh, damn, here I go again! :grr:

19. Maybe it's just my line of work, but it sounds right to me. There are two
rates - approval and disapproval - not one rate with a high and a low.

Disapproval rates DO reach highs - that's how they are measured. Higher means greater disapproval.

20. Rasmussen has him at 49% approve - 48% disapprove.
http://www.rasmussenreports.com/Bush_Job_Approval.htm

I know it's a Repuke polling service, but they're always so far off from everyone else it's laughable.

Yet, they called the 2004 Election almost exactly? They knew it was fixed, and by how much...
