What do you think caused the latest Bush drop in the polls?

[xray s]

My guess is the fundies are freaking over Mary Cheney's new book! :)

("Mildred...DID YOU HEAR?...the vice president's daughter...is...a...less-bee-ann!...and here I thought that Mr Cheney was such a good man...how can that be if his daughter is a less-bee-ann? I have to write Pat Robertson about this...I wonder what Dr Dobson thinks about this...mercy sakes alive!")

4. Gasoline, gasoline, gasoline, and did I mention gasoline.

That is the one issue that cuts across every demographic.

It's the common denominator of self-interest.

8. He has been on the TV a lot lately. Whenever that happens

his polls go down. Perhaps he should go hide out with Cheney in the bunker.

Now everybody laughs at the guy who speaks in GOP Talking Points. It's just to embarrassing to be a republican.

[babylonsister]

13. It's that 1-900- number they're calling; that's got to be it! They're

skeered! :scared:

[neoblues]

15. The NSA thing?

Hearing for certain that it wasn't even remotely limited to terrorist related monitoring...? I know it brought my opinion of Bush down... That is, from an approval rating of about -99,999,999% it went down to -100,000,005%.

16. High gas prices, low integrity on Iraq, plus the absence of any

affirming or uplifting initiatives all contribute to Bush's slide in the polls.

Also:

Rove seems to have lost the zip on his fast ball, likely because he knows he's in legal jeopardy and isn't concentrating.

Since 9/11 Bush has eroded liberties for SECURITY reasons, but then is seen to have turned over our ports to the Dubai folks.

Rumsfeld remains on the job but no one knows why since he's failed at it so badly.

Bill Frist can't steer his own nuts through the fly of his undies, let alone guide legislation through the U.S. Senate.

DeLay hung around way too long and stunk up the place.

There are regional Republican scandals getting loads of local attention & more today and more to come, too.

The Far Right fundies realize that this administration is less Christian than advertised.

And not least, every time the man opens his mouth, he sounds like he's on hog tranquilizer.

22. Gosh darn, Old Crusoe, you made

me sound like an idiot! But that list is disgustingly delicious! :toast:

[saltpoint]

25. babylonsister, there is no way or method on this earth that could make

you sound like an idiot. You type from the brains and the heart on these boards, and everyone knows it.

You got the rigor, you got the brain power.

Take no shit from anybody who says different. You gotta lotta pals on DU and we gotcher back.

[Paulie]

20. We the people just reached the TIPPING POINT with the BUSH REGIME!

A confluence of events; and the snowball becomes an avalanche.

[BurtWorm]

21. Critical mass.

A bunch of wingers have realized what losers the Bushists are and they're as ashamed as they can allow themselves to be of being associated with them.

[RagAss]
