NEWSWEEK: George W. Bush is runnin' outa steam |
From NEWSWEEK, 1/24/04:
http://msnbc.msn.com/id/4049942/
WEB EXCLUSIVE
By Brian Braiker
Despite having delivered a State of the Union address that was well
received by his conservative core, Bush’s own standing has slipped
among registered voters.
"Because of American leadership and resolve, the world is changing for
the better," he declared Tuesday.
But more people now say they are dissatisfied (52 percent) than
satisfied (43 percent) with the way things are going in the United
States, down from a post-9/11 peak last April of 50 percent satisfied.
And even though Bush used the State of the Union to emphasize his
controversial tax cuts, Medicare overhaul, opposition to gay marriage
and a burgeoning economic rebound, Bush saw his job performance
ratings dip to 50 percent approval (versus 44 percent who
disapprove)--his most negative ratings to date--suggesting a nation
sharply divided over the president and his policies.
To be sure, Bush is just as solidly backed by Republicans (85 percent)
as he is opposed by Democrats (86 percent).
Overall, 52 percent of those polled by NEWSWEEK say they would not
like to see Bush serve a second term, compared to 44 percent who want
to see him win again in November.
As a result, Kerry is enjoying a marginal advantage over Bush, a first
for the poll.
Forty-nine percent of registered voters chose Kerry, compared to 46
percent who re-elected Bush.

The wheels are coming off of the Rove machine. That SotU was the worst
I have ever heard. It's no wonder his approval rating went down. This
country is worried about unemployment and healthcare and Chimpboy is
talking about freakin steroids. Add that to his absurd Moon mission
and Immigration amnesty ideas and it's no wonder the electorate is
finally waking up. The Emperor is Naked people!

Using Chimpboy instead of our president's name is good evidence that we need
minimal intelligence and maturity standards for voting in this country. Of
course, you will see anything and everything on Usenet.

If they ever adopt those "standards", say goodby to the GOP, Bob.

It's just that the continued existence of the GOP relies very heavily upon a
stupid
constituency.
But, don't take my word for it, Bob, this quote from Karl Rove says it all:
"As people do better, they start voting like Republicans -- unless
they have too much education and vote Democratic, which proves there
can be too much of a good thing."
-- Karl Rove, The New Yorker, 02/16/2001
Republicans disparage Scientists, Educators, Economists, and other
intellectuals,
because they articulate realities which are often detrimental to the
Republicans'
bottom line.
Republicans counter the intellectuals by inventing their own "realities", and
unleashing them with emotionally charged language upon the stupid and gullible.
Here are a few of the dumber things that some gullible & stupid types posted to
Usenet
just last week. These are the people that the GOP regularly manipulate.
"I love it when people announce they don't know ***** about the subject they're
adamant
about taking sides on a issue about."
--Tom Aldrich
Do try to keep you Sub... I can see the logic makes too much sense for
someone preferring spin. The point for you & all the others with an IQ below
50 is: Hitler didn't announce his devious plans but was INTENT upon world
domination while, Bush announces the parody to do so and has NO INTENT.....
--needham
There is NO global warming, it's only those who want to make money from
it that believe that
--CEP
So, you see, Bob, that if the "powers that be" were to adopt intelligence
standards,
there's three voters above that the GOP would lose right off the bat.
