How to drop 49 points in job approval polls in 3 easy steps.(A primer)
Edited on Mon Dec-26-05 10:02 PM by BleedingHeartPatriot
Polls: Gallup/CNN/USA Today
A=Approve
D=Disapprove
U=Unsure

First step:
Achieve 90% by blatantly capitalizing on a great country's grief and resolve.
(A,D,U)

9/21-22/01: 90 6 4 (immediate post 9/11)

Second, when polls start to drop, start a bogus war. (Instant 13 point jump):
Pre Iraq war numbers:

3/14-15/03: 58 38 4

to:

3/22-23/03: 71 25 4

Third, unrelentingly screw over the military, working class and poor of said previously great country and bingo...

Down 49%

12/16-18/05: 41 56 3.

See, it's easy...and step four, the indictments of your cronies and impeachment proceedings should allow for at least another 10-20 points drop in the next year.

Happy 2006 all! :hi:

2. Thanks :). Aiming at the "Pet Goat" CIC. I fully expect he will reach the
highest level of his incompetence in the coming year.

4. Fortunately, I think he's all bounced out. He may eke out a flimsy
bubble that sustains for a week or so, but nothing that can maintain for more time than that.

The MSM wants him to do well, so badly...it's gratifying to see that most people just aren't buying it anymore. MKJ

6. wait til they stage a terrorist attack
Edited on Mon Dec-26-05 11:29 PM by TheFarseer
and people fall all over themselves to say he should be able to wiretap everyone in the country and have a camera in everyone's living room. Them the "security moms" and "NASCAR dads" will love their chimperor again and he'll bounce to at least 75%.

8. I expected the rise in the polls because of the fall of gas;
But wait until everybody north of FL and TX gets their heating bills for Dec. and I expect his popularity will again dip into the 30's.
