Effects of Cheney shooting on RKBA..

[longeyes]

If there's someone it's impossible to take a cheap shot at, it's Ted Kennedy. Chappaquiddick is just one of many dubious achievements this guy has racked up over his long career.

Hang out at Democratic Underground a lot, eh?

Never been there. I do, however, hang out in the real world with real people, and unlike some of you, I pay attention to what people with differing viewpoints are saying, rather than soothe myself by simply wallowing in the flatualent blather of those who agree with me and ignoring everyone else. The 50 percent number is based on an average of all the latest polls. The following are this month's numbers:

CNN/USA Today/Gallup 2/9-12/06
Approve: 39
Disapprove: 56

Gallup 2/6-9/06
Approve: 42
Disapprove: 55

FOX/Opinion Dynamics RV 2/7-8/06
Approve: 44
Disapprove: 47

AP-Ipsos 2/6-8/06
Approve: 40
Disapprove: 57

Pew 2/1-5/06
Approve: 40
Disapprove: 52

As you can see, the only recent poll that has a disapproval number of less than 50 percent is Fox, which is hardly an unbiased source, and even that was at 47 percent.

What I'm seeing in the real world (as opposed to those of you with terminal cranial rectolysis who only see the smooth muscle tissue of your own lower intestines) is that the people who disapprove of Bush really disapprove of Bush. In fact, they are in an absolute rage. This is mostly due to the fact that they felt the administration misled them into going to war in Iraq, but whatever the case, the level of rage is unlike anything I have ever seen. It is this rage that is fueling the turmoil surrounding the shooting. This is why it was idiotic for the administration not to release the shooting information immediately; that way they would have been controlling the situation instead of reacting to it.

I'm not asking you to accept my opinion. I'm just warning you that this is the mood out there. You can open your eyes and see for yourself while there may still be time to correct the situation or you can keep gazing lovingly at the inside of your own colon and thinking happy thoughts. Let's see how well that approach works out come the morning of Wednesday, November 8.

Where's the IGNORE LIST? I can't find my IGNORE LIST? Oh, nevermind, this isn't real, this is the Intenet. Compared to a poll anyway which is obviously real.

Sticks and stones will break my bones but etc., etc., etc.

Even apolitical reserved people I know get into a spitting frothing indictment whenever GWB&co. come up in a conversation. Whether enough inert midroaders have been peeved by this admin will be seen in Nov.

IMO, the worst thing would be to create a strong backswing to the left through policies accomplishing otherwise nothing for the conservative agenda. What a loss of a golden opportunity.

Good thing Cheney wasn't hunting with Ted Nugent. The Nuge would have returned fire and taken out a couple of SS agents for good measure!
