W approval still at 49%--most don't like Soc.Sec. proposal or war cost

NBC Wall Street journal poll on the Today Show (strangely I can't find a link).

Oh but mind you that NBC made sure that in terms of MORAL values "Republicans dominate the Democrats two to one " ---42% to 21%.......uh where are the other 37%?

ON EDIT- they had an "expert" on who just couldn't understand why people haven't rallied around the WINNER.

3. 51% who disapprove must include people who didn't vote at all
Maybe next time they'll get turn off the television and get up off the couch and take a half hour and go to the polling station next time.

5. People are Dumb
The majority of people don't know dick. They just looked at the election, and at any election, as a pissing contest between two people. No matter that Kerry won the debates, and that the majority of the peopel disagree with Bush's actual policies, Bush and the Republican camp won the pissing debate.

7. Andrea Dworkin on Scott Peterson (yawn)
(Sorry, I don't think I can start a thread) From the UK Guardian.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/women/story/0,3604,1374552,00.html

... and my response (perhaps they'll print it)

"Andrea Dworkin (G2, 16 December) is wrong about the fate of Scott Peterson.

"The arguments against the death penalty are well rehearsed.
If Peterson is not deserving of our sympathy as were the Rosenbergs, or the thousands of anonymous black men denied a fair trial, it is time to add another.

"This is the re-election of Bush, hardly a friend of feminism. The overwhelming US media coverage of this trial is itself suspicious. It coincides with the murder of Iraqi civilians, amongst them women, children, and undoubtedly babes in utero, on an industrial scale. It comes as the "mandate" for the slaughter is called into serious question, in Ohio and elsewhere. Peterson killed to live the bachelor's life; Bush kills for oil riches.

"The psychology of the lynch mob as informed by a highly selective reading of the Old Testament (Dworkin writes that the jurors were pre-vetted for their vengefulness) thus sets the stage for history's greatest ever distraction heist. The Iraqi people and ordinary Americans are the poorer for it, and the feminist and gay movements stand to lose everything they have won. Dworkin mentioned Roe v. Wade in passing. It's a shame she didn't address it."
