----------------------------------------------------

I think people are realizing what an incompetent failure Bush is.

1. I heard that on our local newscast

NBC affiliate which rarely reports anything negative about W.

The Today Show?- No mention of it but they did have an interview with the missing blonde's Dad.

[Spectral]

2. Ah, these missing blonds

Take away all the news time....

[dhinojosa]

3. I realized that's why they call it the "Amber Alert" and not

the "Maria Alert" or an "Imani Alert" (had to look that up (http://slate.msn.com/id/2116449/sidebar/2116453/). Why don't they call it something else, I don't know. :/

5. It was named after Amber Hagerman - kidnapped and murdered in TX

History of AMBER Alert

The AMBER Alert System began in 1996 when Dallas-Fort Worth broadcasters teamed with local police to develop an early warning system to help find abducted children. AMBER stands for America's Missing: Broadcast Emergency Response and was created as a legacy to 9-year-old Amber Hagerman, who was kidnaped while riding her bicycle in Arlington, Texas, and then brutally murdered. Other states and communities soon set up their own AMBER plans as the idea was adopted across the nation.

6. Well that shut me up.

4. Funny W actually complained (a bit) about this in the Cavutop interview

not that I watched it or read it but Cavuto was on Hannity the other day (it was on when I got in the truck) and he said that W finds that the news media ;-) has made it hard for him to get his message out about Social Security-at least that is what Cavuto said W said.

[Vickers]

7. I can't believe 43% of the people are still so deluded

That's some kind of monument to the propaganda machine at their disposal, I guess.

[DemoTex]

8. "Mixed Feelings" and "Unsure" are virtually non-existent.

Wow! Statistical noise. The country is polarized against the vapid little emperor now. No fence-sitters. It's "fish or cut bait" and the tide is coming in, baby!

Beware of major distractions coming soon. Iran? Syria?

[Spectral]

9. They are more than covered by "The Elvis Factor"

Apparently, in any poll, 7% of all Americans believe Elvis is still alive, and half of those believe that if they send him a letter they will get one back.

[On Par]

10. Just One Significant Problem With That Poll...

...it doesn't matter!

Boy George could have a 10% approval rating, and he'd still be out there pushing corporatized (not privatized) Social Security and Right Wing Radical Judges.

[Darkamber]

11. Sadly you are right...

Bush will be pig headed and will get his way or else. Patriot Act is next. It will be renewed exactly the way it was or else.

[Spectral]

14. Just keep pushing

Maybe the American people will actually wake up for a second

[Imagevision]

23. Well as the saying goes, you can fool some of the people some of the time

you know the rest...!

[LaPera]

12. Only until the next invasion, or some well orchestrated attack...

Then the media will run stories 24/7 and Bush will talk tough, put the fear back into the people and his approval ratings will again skyrocket...

Same old story, these fascist know how to control the frightened masses.

Not that any "approval" rating will stop them from continuing the lies their corporate agenda and ideology. Who's to stop them?

They just laugh at us and use smokescreen after smokescreen for ultimate media distortion & distractions.

[Spectral]

24. Should we expect that in 2006?

Just in time for the election

[Blue Belle]

13. I wonder what his numbers will be like after...

Conyers starts his DSM hearings. Does anyone know if they will be covered on C-Span??

[Dinger]

31. I Bet They'll Hover Around 30-35%

Maybe lower.
:rofl:

[Spectral]

15. donut

:donut:

[Arugula Latte]

16. Whoa.

12 point spread between approve/disapprove. Imagine that spread if we had a real media doing its job instead of a bunch of cowed butt-lickers.

[Spectral]

20. You make a great point

Amazing how 12 points is non-news. And yet the dang neocons are running around convincing everyone that the media is liberal!

[sinkingfeeling]

17. But, but, someone on FR yesterday, said , 'he'll always have the

majority's support'!!

[dhinojosa]

18. Cuckoo.

What are they smoking?

[Spectral]

22. Fuzzy math

That's the ticket!

[PlanetBev]

19. Koolaid still in drinking water

This idiot's approval numbers should be in the teens.

[Spectral]

21. Actually at about 7%

The Elvis factor

[Doctor_J]

25. Same as a month ago

more dead soldiers, the DSM, fascist judges on the bench, bad employment numbers, creeping stagflation, and still almost 1/2 think things are great. When we're nuked by a coalition of the 100's of countries he's pssied off, or we're all speaking Chinese, he'll still be over 40%. As long as the media works for him, things are rosy in GOP land.

[Stephanie]

27. Exactly the same - 43% approval

But I think the disapproval number was not as high then. I think more undecideds have swung against him.

[lancdem]

28. It was 47 percent in this poll a month ago

I think Bush was 43 percent in another poll (Pew perhaps).

[AlinPA]

26. I think it is actually worse; I'm looking for 41%. That's the # where

they will get absolutely desperate. Rpigs need another ........

[FrenchieCat]

29. But ya know....

It's all Michael Jackson's fault. :shrug:

[ComerPerro]

30. It won't matter if they vote for Republicans in 06

[Disturbed]

32. Lowest approval rating?

Nixon- 25%?

Would it matter how low it goes for the Bush Regime?

They are still in power and do what they want to do or can that be changed?

[ComerPerro]

34. Look what they did the first time around

Bush was polling like shit, and stories of massive fraud in Florida were about to be published. Then, there was a terrorist attack that saved Bush's ass.

[The Jacobin]

33. Hopefully we can put it to use

against weak house and senate repugs. Remind those voters that dislike Bush that these people are the ones who support him.

[OneTwentyoNine]

35. 43%?!?!? About time for a building or two to come down isn't it?

I wish to hell that his ratings would drop from 43 to 3% but it worries the hell out of me as to what Chimp and Rove would do to bump it back up.

Sadly,they know what the ONLY thing is that makes Chimps numbers go up....

[abluelady]

36. TERROR ALERT; TERROR ALERT

That is what we should be hearing any moment now. Isn't that the course Rove takes when things are starting to look bad for his puppet, our President!

[snowbear]

37. MSNBC this morning said there were new "dismal" poll ratings for Bush...

But it was one of those deals where you had to tune in until after the commercials, etc.. and I was heading out the door.

They also reported on CNN that Ah-nuld was at an all time low of 40% approval rating..

:rofl:
