9. Wait a minute.......not so fast!

This is a MUST READ for those who believe in our Constitutional government.
Touch screen voting machines, without a paper record of the vote, has been the talk of the town in the U.K, France, Germany and yes even Russia!!!
Our , not so free, Bush controlled, media sources are afraid to openly discuss the issue! WHY???
If election 2004 were fair and honest, G. W. Bush will LOSE!!!
No way can the Republicans can cover up the Bush Administrations failed Economic policies!! The entire Middle east is going up in flames! Iraq is a sink hole for our troops and Bush is still trying to justify his war of aggression!!
Why are they sitting on their hands in Washington???
They believe touch screen voting, without a paper trail, will be the way to go in 2004!
If you think Florida in 2000 was a scam, wait till 2004 it will be a national scam!!!
Scream, holler, contact every one you know. If we don't stop them in 2003, we might just as well re appoint G. W. Bush now! Save a lot of money!!!!

8. We better knock it down to around 34%

Just in case they try to pull a 'Florida' again

[Champion Jack]

12. Just in case?

You can bet your ass they are going to try it again.

[AndyTiedye]

18. They'll Pull a Georgia -- That's 16% to the Repubs

34% + 16% is just enough to reselect.

[phillybri]

10. Beautiful....

:kick:

[Manix]

11. ....send that arrogant, sanctimonious, son of a bitch crawling

[Champion Jack]

14. Please!!!

33. LMAO!

Love that pic!

[SammyWinstonJack]

15. Why doesn't the arrogant little pissant find another place to live

after he is removed from the WH? Don't want the MISERABLE FAILURE coming back here. He left a stink in this state while he was Gov that won't go away.

[Nevernose]

16. How about a compromise?

No other nation will take him, and we sure as hell don't want him anywhere in the United States...how about Guantanamo Bay? We'd have to make sure the guards have cattle-prods, though.

[sham]

45. Yes! Send the war criminal to Gitmo!!

[spooky3]

22. such as a nice little provincial town in France?

[BeatleBoot]

13. Great News!

And all of the repukes I have spoken with are either disgusted with him or have been neutralized and won't say anything positive about the guy anymore. Though there are a few die-hard fans of the chimp.

A few even agreed that he won't get re-elected!

The poll numbers are not good for him. I just hope that they stay that way for the next eight months or so.

Doesn't this feel good? Let's ride it while it lasts!!!

[gratuitous]

17. Sorta makes that "aura of inevitability"

Look a little more evitable, doesn't it.

Wait, "more evitable"? "Less inevitable"? Shit, that clown's fractured syntax is lowering my IQ just thinking about him!

Open up the window. Let the bad air out.

[DrBB]

43. I know what a kit is

...but what's a kaboodle?

Reminds me of that old George Carlin riff.

19. Who had September 24th in the pool?

[CatWoman]

24. I think it's still too early to celebrate

caution, Grasshopper :D

[spooky3]

27. I agree--I don't see a free fall but a slow descent

with still strong support among Repugs and split views from independents. A slow descent may plateau, or with some slick moves and luck, he can move up again. The populace remains ill-informed (even the MSNBC article describing the numbers is slanted in *s favor, especially toward the end) and until that is turned around, I am counting on nothing.

21. Finnally!

Finnally, America wakes up and sees the light.

Took them long enough. France and Germany figured this out months ago. :p

29. I think this is good news no matter who you support.

I hope he or any other DEM candidate who does this well can sustain it!

31. Any bets on how soon the Chimp'll hit the 30's???

He's truly in freefall - with no way to stop it! He's got the Midas touch in reverse - everthing he lays a filthy chimp hand on - turns to shit!!

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

32. once again

Ha-Ha!

[DrBB]

34. Hey--getting down to the actual percentage of voters

...he got in the 2000 elections.

[Seneca]

35. question

When I first lurked on DU some months ago, I read lots of threads about Bush's approval ratings being 70%, 65%, etc, and virtually everyone was saying "those polls are fake! they only poll repukes! the mediawhores rigged them!", et al, ad nauseum. So that begged the question in my mind - if his ratings drop below 50%, will the polls still be bogus, or did the pollsters "wake up" and start polling "real people"? :eyes:

Can't have it both ways, my friends.

[ljm2002]

39. To answer your question,

...and speaking only for myself, I have not said anything about the polls to date. So, I guess that means I get to celebrate the current numbers. Cheers!

[DrBB]

41. Contradiction? Not necessarily.

I'm not one of those who has claimed the polls are bogus. But it seems to me perfectly consistent and logical to maintain that the polls have been heavily weighted in Shrump's favor and still are, and therefore if they are showing the Flying Chimp below %50 despite this ongoing upward bias, that means the actual numbers are even lower. All the more reason to celebrate.

Where's the contradiction?

edit: typo

[Seneca]

44. it was a general question

I wasn't aiming it at you or anyone in this thread in particular. But I distinctly recall a majority of posters (not a majority of DUers, just posters in a specific thread) braying about bogus polls, and I thought to myself "when those numbers inevitably come down, watch how many people will convert to celebration mode and swear by their authenticity".

By all means, celebrate, becuase I feel vindicated myself that we're on the winning side of history. :-)

[Beetwasher]

36. Anyone See the Dissaproval Number?

It's not mentioned in the article and there's no link to the data...

[dusty64]

37. No where to be found.

I wonder what the whores will call him now? Seems like "VERY popular pResident" isn't gonna cut it anymore.

[Gman]

38. Finally!

40. Someone should photoshop todays pic

I envision him with a club, perhaps dragging Pickles behind him by the hair after a drunken fit of anger spurred by his poll numbers.

Of course, maybe it's just me............

[DrBB]

42. It's the same pose as that famous film of Bigfoot!!!

Almost to a tee! I knew I recognized it!

God what a simian piece of work he is. How can his fundamentalist supporters look at him and not instantly throw out all that creation-science, anti-Darwinian nonsense?

[Clark Can WIN]

46. OMY GOD YOURE RIGHT!

I think I can find that and I CAN photoshop that. Ahhhh. this'll be fun.
