Majority disapprove of Bush's Iraq policy |
|
Despite *'s belief that by reelecting him Americans expressed support for the war on Iraq, two opinion polls published showed the opposite: the majority think the war was a mistake and disapprove of the way he is handling things in Iraq. http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/afp/20050118/ts_alt_afp/usiraqpolls&cid=1506&ncid=1473

They proved that's what they wanted when they voted for him in Nov.

6. Sideshow Bob was right when he said: |

"...deep down inside you secretly long for a cold-hearted Republican to lower taxes, brutalize criminals, and rule you like a king."

2. Well, since the majority of the votes cast, rather than the votes |
|
counted, were against him, I'm not surprised.

3. but the majority did not vote in large enough numbers... |

4. Does that reverse the mandate? |
|
Can we have a Presidential recall?
It seems that we've gotten a defective product on our hands that could hurt children.
If we recall bad Christmas toys, why not bad Presidents?

5. Heard this on the radio this morning and had a rage fit |
|
WHY is he in for another 4 yrs.? Especially when his other disapproval numbers are as high as they are? Disapprove: 52%-economy, 55%-Soc. Sec., 58%-budget deficit, 54%-immigration and 51%-health care.
Those 56% who approve of his education policy need to go back to school.

27. It's being freeped. Down to 3.72 after my "5" vote. Vote it up! |
|
Those damn freepers want to censor every piece of bad news about their president. Why are they so scared of the truth?

8. In the WP/ABC poll, 49% APPROVE of his health care policies? |
|
WHAT ARE THEY? Aside from stripping us of the right to redress grievances in court, does he HAVE a health care policy?

12. I do not understand how it is |
|
physically possible that he was re-elected. I guess I'll just have to stick with the re-selected theory instead. Those kind of job approval ratings do not indicate a happy American Public.
So what do we do...ohh yeah that's right...nothing.

23. The majority should have voted against him, then. |
|
And a big majority, to make it too hard to steal. They won't like his Iran war policy any more, probably a lot less.

29. This points to a huge disconnect.. |
|
Did they change their minds before the election? - because these were the #s then.
Did they change their minds after the election?
Seems to me they never changed their minds. They may in fact have only come to feel stronger that the war was a mistake and disapprove of the way Bush he is handling things.
Which suggests to me that the election was rigged. Their can hardly be a any other explaination. Fear of terror and belief in Bush's ability to combat terror does not explain it. Unless people just don't feel a sense of ownership or responsibility for the cost of the war here and in Iraq. Which in retrospect might explain it.

About this being common-sense evidence of election rigging.
