Latest Polling Shows Bush Losing Core Supporters
Just received this email from my boss:

Latest Polling Shows Bush Losing Core Supporters

WASHINGTON June 15 - President Bush appears to be losing support among a key group of voters who until now have stood firmly with the president.

A new Gallup poll shows that Bush's approval rating has fallen below 50% and now stands at just 44% among total fucking morons. This represents a dramatic drop compared to a poll taken just last December when 62% of total fucking morons expressed support for the president and his policies.

The current poll, conducted by phone with 1,409 total fucking morons between June 4 and June 8, reveals that only 44% of those polled believe the president is doing a good job, while 27% believe he is doing a poor job, and 29% don't understand the question.

Faltering approval ratings for the president among a group once thought to be a reliable source of loyal support makes Republicans nervous about the upcoming mid-term elections.

"We've got a big problem if we can't depend on the support of total fucking morons," says Sen. Rick Santorum (R-PA), Total fucking morons are a key factor in our electoral strategy, and an important part of today's Republican coalition."

"We've taken the total fucking moron vote for granted," says Rep. Tom Feeney (R-FL), "and now we're paying for it." Feeney says the poll is a dire warning for Republicans. "This should send a signal that we have to regain control of the debate if we want the support of our key constituencies in the coming election and beyond. We need to bring public discourse back into the realm of stupidity and vacuity. We should be talking about homosexual illegal immigrants burning flags. We should be talking about the power of pride. We should be talking about freedom fries. These are the issues th at resonate with total fucking morons."

But some total fucking morons say it's too late. Bill Snarpel of Enid, Oklahoma is a total fucking moron who voted for Bush in both 2000 and 2004.

But he says he won't be voting for Bush in 2008. "I don't like it that he was going to sell our ports to the Arabs. If the Arabs own the ports then that means they'll let all the Arabs in and then we'll all be riding camels and wearing towels on our heads. I don't want my children singing the Star Spangled Banner in Muslim."

Total fucking moron Kurt Meyer of Turlock, California also says his once solid support for Bush has collapsed. "He invaded Iraq and all those soldiers died, and for what? We destroyed all their WMDs, but now their new president is making fun of us and saying he's going to build nuclear bombs and that we can't stop him. Well, nuclear bombs are even worse than WMDs, so what did we accomplish?"

Laura McDonald, a total fucking moron from Chandler, Arizona, says she is disappointed that the president hasn't been a more forceful advocate of Christian values. "This country was founded on Christian values," she says, "but you'd never know it with all the Mexicans running around. I thought Bush was going to bring Jesus back into the government. Instead, Christians are persecuted worse than ever before in history because all these Mexicans come here and tell Christians that we have to respect their religious beliefs. So now it's illegal for children to pray in school. Soon it will be illegal for them to speak English."

Not all total fucking morons have turned their backs on the president. Jeb Larkin of Topeka, Kansas says he still fully supports Bush. "He is doing a great job. He is a great president. He is a great decider. I have a puppy. His tail sticks straight up and you can see his butthole."

And not all Republican law makers are concerned about the poll, Sen. Lamar Alexander (R- TN), for one. He agrees that the Republican party should not take total fucking morons for granted, but he says they "really don't have anywhere else to go. Just try having a conversation with one of them about global warming. They'll say, 'Oh, but Rush says volcanoes consume more ozone than humans do.' I mean, they're morons! Total fucking morons!"

"They've got nowhere else to go," Alexander reaffirms with a smile, "and they always vote."

5. "Surprise return of core supporters defies exit polls," etc.
I guess this means it will be harder for them to come with a convincing cover story for the next theft, however....

"But some total fucking morons say it's too late. Bill Snarpel of Enid, Oklahoma is a total fucking moron who voted for Bush in both 2000 and 2004.

But he says he won't be voting for Bush in 2008".

That's a real classic, thanks for the chuckles...........

27. True, my son
worked with a TFM fundie, horrible RW values and concomitantly lousy work and dietary habits- who hates book with a Biblical passion.

As for the political moron who had as much political acumen as Joe Lieberman during his own doomed runs for the Presidency, dear Lamar may have riled a few more dolts by saying things publicly he shouldn't have.

I do believe all the vents of hypocrisy have been loosed recently to desperately maintain the illusion of this core and hence the delusions of the core itself- who might be dumb enough to think all their fellows ARE voting for the GOP without them. Underneath most the core's dumb statements is the wiser background of economic fear and outrage, a fear that more than trumps the supposed terror card played against middle America.

So the shrill, insane noise is to literally drown out reality, get the GOP thinking this is productive and- in their own subconscious intent- act as a scram(scrambling of reality by chaotic infusion of massive distractions) so that election stealing can stab a confused America in the back. it seems to motivate everything. fraud needs cover- even outrageously bad, even blatantly counterproductive cover and massive participation instead of defection by the GOP team.

And bash the media on the head hard and hypocritically to make them keep their heads down. In these scenarios, regardless of anything, any who, any how, everyone is defrauded and betrayed except the Inner Circle.

although this one probably isn't for everybody considering all the debate about illegal immigration. But he makes a good point, I think.

How true. In any conversation with a wingnut, it's guaranteed they'll say something so bizarre that it's almost impossible to respond to. And they'll usually say they heard it on Rush.
