President Bush and Congress retained their dismal levels of popularity and huge majorities are unhappy with how things are going in the country, according to a poll released Thursday.

Thirty-four percent said they approved of the job Bush is doing, about where his ratings have been for more than a year, according to the poll by The Associated Press and Ipsos. Twenty-six percent said they were happy with Congress' performance, little different than where it has been for months.

With signs of economic stress abounding, Bush's approval for handling the economy was 33 percent, compared with 36 percent last month.

Thirty-four percent said they approved of the job Bush is doing...

Who are these freaks anyway?? :crazy:

his base of sheeple.:hi:

ah the sheeple. You would think people would wake up after 8 years of class warfare. Why any working class american would support Bush is past me. Death wish I guess...

Thanks for the welcome. :)

They think Fuckwittage * is their God buddy. They are brain damaged.

of Bush's elite by supporting them. Can you say "suckers"?

Here ya have a bunch of poor slobs, most making under $25,000 a year and they think they are Bush Pioneers. It is beyond ridiculous but it will NEVER change.

Menchen said it best:

A professional politician is a professionally dishonorable man. In order to get anywhere near high office he has to make so many compromises and submit to so many humiliations that he becomes indistinguishable from a streetwalker. "



The average putz just doesn't have a clue.

is real, and science is fake. The key term being, "believe" instead of "think".

I think that God in creating Man somewhat overestimated his ability. Welcome to DU btw I really enjoy your contributions. :hi:

While reading your comments on many threads, I had to say to myself, "Do I know her?" Same minds I suppose. :hi:

Many people I work with are big * supporters. All struggling to make it in King George's America. I tried to tell this poor old woman who used to work there that prez * could care less about wage slaves like us. She said "Oh no, I'm sure President Bush is a fine man."

Her 7 dollar an hour job was later eliminated and the remaining workers were forced to do it on top of our other duties, whit no pay raise of course.

All done by some fascist, CEO, neo-con, chickenhawk, capitalist bas**rd, I have NO DOUBT!

These people get their marching orders from Rush Limpballs and other reichwingers on the radio, they WILL NOT see and WILL NOT blame the smiling scum that are destroying their lives! They just refuse to see the truth. Its crazy and its sad.

Welcome nice to have you along for the ride!

Nice to know that there is still some sanity out there. :)

That's what fucks up my entire extended family.

unpoopular...do you pop out at parties? the answer is in this little lottle..hiccup...bottle....

That's them.

What is likely is the continued consolidation of the right-wing duopoly, most evident in the erosion of civil liberties and the war on terrorism. Somewhere along the line, America lost its political freedom without even realizing it. The last meaningful opposition to the duopoly was perhaps Ross Perot's presidential candidacy in 1992. His presence in the presidential debates and his subsequent garnering of almost twenty percent of the vote -- in spite of dropping out of the race and then reentering it -- may be the most underappreciated event in recent American political history. Perot was no social activist liberal, but he showed what an open political process might achieve. Afterward, the duopoly regrouped and created a rigged, 'bi-partisan,' corporate-sponsored debate commission dedicated to making sure that no third party candidate would ever again enjoy such exposure to the voters.

The coming darkness is the eclipse of American political freedom and the unchecked reign of a venal, arrogant, and ignorant ruling class. Onerous as its depredations at home are likely to be, even more omnious is its immoral, illegal, and criminal policy of preemptive war abroad -- a policy fully endorsed by Kerry. There is no end to the war on terrorism, since a terrorist is increasingly defined as anyone who opposes the duopoly at home or abroad.

It has always been madness to try to remould the world in one's image, as we see most recently in the war in Iraq, but it is a vastly greater madness in a nuclear age. The lesson of 9/11 was that resentments born of decades if not centuries of perceived wrongs will find their target if those wrongs are not addressed. The ultimate equalizer, in our time, is the nuclear bomb and this the terrorists will sooner or later obtain and use if they continue to be provoked. This will be the final, bitter fruit of the loss of our political freedom, and it will be made the ultimate justification for the tyranny now established upon us.

In a dark age, it is the responsibility of those who care about things like political freedom and democracy to struggle to ensure that those values somehow survive and are transmitted to future generations, even if they can no longer play an effective public role, much as the monks of the middle ages preserved the learning of antiquity for a better day. That day will come, but likely not in our time.

George Clinton.

Paint the White House black!

:smoke:

I don't need to hear this more than once, and I really don't need to hear it once.

Go figure....we have a dumb ass preznit who will veto ANYTHING that Congress tries to get done, and enough corrupt repug lock-steppers in Congress to tie the hands of Congress from over riding anything the monkey does. Now, that's not so hard to figure that NOBODY is going to be happy.

QUIT TELLING ME THE COUNTRY IS UNHAPPY WITH CONGRESS!! Maybe tell me WHY they are unhappy...and follow the root of the problem.

We are such a bunch of morons. The media keeps telling us the same simple message, over and over and over again.

I am one frustrated old man.

It is ALL the fuckwads fault of course but they can't rain on Lord Pissypants. I am angry too!

with the American People.

Perhaps these individuals lack reading comprehension skills. They need to read the poll question again and really emphasize the word "job." He isn't doing his job, so how can he be doing it well? He's a failure, in every way. I think it's safe to say that at least 34% of Americans are incredibly ignorant.

supply their credit card numbers in all the phishing websites they point to,
who call in to buy all of those "great offers" on late-night TV,
every time they tune in a TV evangelist they call to give money.

The ones P.T. Barnum was talking about when he said "There's a sucker born every minute."
