1. Gee, speech didn't seem to help George. Wonder why? nt

[MintOreoCookie]

3. I am so relieved to read that. I did not want his approval rating to

go up. We all know why he made the speech and how his heart is totally not into rebuilding New Orleans. I can't wait for that man to be out of office.

[marmar]

2. Hopefully...

we're past the point where his PRAVDA PR shows are able to fool the masses. But never OVERestimate a good portion of the American public!!!

:hide:

[rodeodance]

4. lots of evacuees outside Astrodome said they liked what Jr had to

to say-gave them hope. Abc had interviewed several people--they were all pleased (and i will add as far as I can recall-all Black).

5. That temporary euphoria will go away...

once weeks have passed and the reality of half-assed his "plan" really is.

[acmavm]

10. I somehow don't think that it's the American public that is the problem.

Well, maybe except for a smaller percentage which is being exaggerated by the press. His support is dropping across the board. There's no way that it isn't.

The man is a proven liar, and that fact has become inescapable. He is surrounded by crooks, thieves, and idiots. He has screwed up every single thing he's touched.

People, even the mathmatically impaired, understand that we cannot afford to give money and tax breaks to the rich, pay the obscene bill for the Iraq fiasco, and now rebuild NO while paying Halliburton etc. their usual payola.

After seeing his speech the other night all I can say is that his legacy won't be a 'joke', he will go down in history as the biggest disaster to have hit this country. And that will be giving the asshole more credit than he deserves. How much of a 'leader' can he be when he's not even consulted on important issues, wears an earphone so that he can have his words fed to him because he's too stupid to spit out a single sentence on his own, is left riding his bike when the rest of Washington is swept into safety because a lost pilot mistakenly flies into verboten territory, etc.

It's the criminal and immoral politics of the neocons that Americans are damn sick and tired of. Even the repuke dolts in the House and Senate are slipping away. And in light of these facts I wonder what 'catastrophe' they will allow to happen so that they can make the declaration of martial law that they so badly want to make?

[...of J.Temperance]

15. They WILL declare Martial Law before 2008, because it's the ONLY

Thing they've got left. They CANNOT leave, they know that they CANNOT leave, because they've done too much that's incriminating: obstruction of justice, embezzlement of Treasury funds, money laundering, ALL manner of fraud, murder...the list is ENDLESS.

I don't OFTEN make predictions, but I'm going to on this. By the Summer of 2007 the ENTIRE nation will be under Martial Law, and there won't be another General Election until "outside intervention."

I pointed out a few days ago, that the Bush bastard is America's Ceaucescu and like Ceaucescu he will NOT go without violence. He will NOT go gently into that good night. Sadly, a lot of peoples blood is going to have to be spilled to get rid of this Little Hitler.

But the Little Hitler SHOULD remember, that he who lives by the sword, dies by the sword.

[Autonomy]

6. This is the most telling question:

After watching the speech, did your opinion of President Bush go up? Go down? Or stay the same?

21% Went Up
28% Went Down
51% Stayed The Same
0% Not Sure

Yeah, any gains from the speech will be temporary, but he actually lost more people than he gained. I didn't think that was possible from a damage-control effort. LOL!

[TallahasseeGrannie]

7. Hey I'd hop on the train

myself if I thought he could FUND those lovely ideas.

But as my grandfather would say, "He's just blowing sunshine up your arse."

[...of J.Temperance]

8. I already knew this was the result WHEN I heard today that Junior is

Going back to Naw'lins on Tuesday. Bloody hell, why doesn't the little shitkicker just stay the fuck away. Is he going to go EVERY week UNTIL his poll numbers change some?

Jaysus, he's COMPLETELY pathetic.

I HATE these bastards.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

12. hey, keep him traveling, lest he go back and do more harm,

keep him flying around, looking out the window for the next three years, if possible.

[...of J.Temperance]

13. You know I've got the strange feeling that the Monkey King is in a

Mortal danger type situation every time he goes to the Crescent City, you can bet the farm that he's HATED there.

Hey the last two times he's been to the Crescent City, his handlers have made him put one of THESE on:



And on Thursday night, judging by how tight his open-necked shirt was on him, I DEFINATELY think that his handlers made him put THIS particular model on:



You could tell, when he was walking to the microphone and you saw him sideways, you could see that it was the second vest pictured here that the little scared shitless waste of human skin had on.

Gosh, he's SO brave, he's SUCH the big brave leader ain't he? Fucking coward.

[Totally Committed]

9. I wish they would have been clearer about this part:

Are you personally willing to pay higher taxes to pay for the rebuilding of America's Gulf Coast?

25% Yes
69% No
6% Not Sure

I think they would have gotten a very different answer if they said that the "higher taxes" that are being spoken of is the repeal of the Bush Taxcuts for the rich. No other American would be aske dot pay "higher taxes" if those taxcuts were repealed.

I noticed that that question was posed in that way on a number of news outlets, including CNN. I believe this was an effort to bolster Bush's stance that that tax cuts will continue despite this monetary outlay. How unfortunate that these pollsters feel it necessary to shill for this administration this way!

11. It is hard to take polls like this seriously

In questions one, two and seven it says "Asked of 800 Adults" but in questions three, four, five and six it states, " Asked of 519 Adults". WHY??:wtf: :shrug:

[hang a left]

14. Because...

that was the actual number of those surveyed that watched the televised speech, not just heard or read about on/in the news.
