Bush is Just Getting Destroyed in the Media - do we have any new polls?

[leftyladyfrommo]

I can't find any current polls anywhere - last ones showing Bush was at 31%. But that is amazing since he was clear up to 88% at one point.

But the media everywhere is just destroying him. Everywhere I looked - op-ed pieces were just plain brutal. And so where the other news stories. This has got to be effecting his poll numbers.

Washington Post has a battle going on whether he is the worst president that we have ever had - now how embarrassing is that?

We really need to get that guy out of there because he is just so incompetent. But I don't know how you do that with Cheney sitting there in 2nd position. They would both have to go.

Mission, we have a problem - big time.

1. Why did the media wait until now to do this...

a little late and the damage has already been done by Bush.

[leftyladyfrommo]

2. I agree. They weren't anywhere when we needed them.

I hope they learned something from all of this - but I doubt it. News is just a product anymore.

14. That's why we've been calling them...

media whores.

While the majority of the idiots in this country, the media didn't write anything that would offend the Dumbya regime or the sheep who followed them.

I said to all who would listen - and I have witnesses - that when/if Dumbya's popularity ever fell down a bit under 40%, the media would turn on him so as not to offend the new majority.

Soon, a lot of those whores will tell us how they knew all along that Dumbya was screwed up, and they were on our side all along.

Makes me hate them worse.. if that's possible.

Hundreds of thousands of dead, air/water/poor totally screwed, the economy fucked, and NOW these assholes find their voice.

3. The shame is that newsmedia covered up Bush's flaws 1999- Katrina. They have

only been giving in because most of the public will no longer accept the spin that he is competent and stoic - they know now he's nothing but a nasty-ass, stubborn foolchild.

[leftyladyfrommo]

6. That word "stubborn" is coming up a lot lately.

And all the other terms that used to go with it are just gone.

[blm]

10. How many times did media describe him as 'stoic' or 'standing strong' or

'clear and firm' when all this time time it was childishly stubborn and intransigent?

4. re:polls

The latest...

My prediction is that after it's clear B*sh isdisregarding the Baker report, and is unyielding to reality, he will hit the twenties.

5. CNN has him at 38%? How can that be?

I just don't understand how any breathing person could still think this guy is OK!

9. After the elections, he talked a good game about bipartisanship.

Probably duped more than a few people. They'll come back around, I'm sure.

19. We need to get the message out there that he broke that pledge

in less than a week when he sent up a bunch of previously rejected judges and other political appointees to the Senate.

if we don't, then the media will be all over it if the Dems do something with the slightest whiff of partisanship... ("In a sign of the vicious partisanship to come in the House, Speaker Pelosi did not nod as deeply as Dennis Hastert did when welcoming the opposition. Was it harsh partisanship on her part, or also her man-hating feminist San Francisco values?")

7. I don't agree that the media is destroying dimwit

Dimwit is/was destroying himself and it would had been working sooner if the media had been honest about dimwit.

[leftyladyfrommo]

8. I just meant that all the coverage today is just plain awful.

And, yes, numbnuts destroyed himself.

I love that word - numbnuts. Thank you Danny Devito. May you get drunk and go on The View more often.

20. First time I heard that word was in 1983

Working in the plant and I was only 29 and this old geezer used it all the time. Used it since then off and on.

I personally created the word dipshit back around the same time. It was the result of watching an old movie about cow and sheep ranchers fighting. They kept referring to sheepdip and I just added dip to shit.

I agree the coverage has been bad by the media. If they had done their job as the 4th Estate is suppose to then we wouldn't be in the predictament we are in now.

[flordehinojos]

11. shit can be covered up as long as it stays down the hole and doesn't stink up. but when it starts

oozing out the shit hole and it starts stinking up other people's integrity-NOT! then it is time to do something about it--either that or the undeniable cannot be denied any longer.

[leftyladyfrommo]

12. It amazes me that they were able to keep it under wraps for so long.

I guess I will never understand how so many people kept quiet for so long.

13. O:-)

15. typical corporate spin job.

wait till the last possible moment to abandon those in charge
then when you do, do it furiously

as for the rest of the people
never EVER look at how you contributed or stayed silent while it all went on in front of you
take no responsibility
cover your ass
cover your tracks
collect your pay

it makes me absolutely sick
whats even worse is that this appears to be the model the rest of the world wants to follow

[leftyladyfrommo]

16. But we have been thru really dark times before and

we have managed to pull it out. Maybe I remember this stuff because I am older and lived thru some of it.

I was too young to really grasp the period when everyone who disagreed as a communist. Absolutely horrible things were done to people then.

All the years when the FBI was so out of control. All the absolutely sick stuff that went on then.

But I surely remember the cold war. We were scared to death all of the time. I used to dream about atom bomb attacks when I was a little kid.

The Nixon years when secret files were kept on everyone - including me, I'm sure. I spent a lot of time out there with my picket sign.

I kind of view these past years as another dark period of our history - another period when the sociopaths got control.

18. No elections, no polls

They cost a lot of money, and without demand, no national polling is conducted. The pollsters are all working on Xmas polls and economic attitude stuff.
