59% of Americans disapprove
of how the McChimp is handling Iraq.

Only 38% approve.

I wonder if this means he will get a clue?

1. No. Because he doesn't CARE what the public thinks.
He's on a messianic quest to change the United States into what he thinks it should be--a Christocorporatocracy. His ideology trumps everything; even his party being elected after he's out of office. He doesn't have to run again, so he'll shove through what he wants.

3. Probably not. He will "Stay the course"
and sink everyone else with him. I believe he truly does not care what his approval ratings are. Remember what he told Bob Woodward: I'm the President. I don't have to explain my actions to anyone.

7. I believe you are right
Just saw him on CNN. He really does not care about our soldiers who are dying. He's more interested in this mind game he thinks he is playing with the insurgents.

14. Yes, and they are also as morally bankrupt as the
hard core right wingers but for a different reason. They're essentially "which ever way the wind blows" constituents. That is, just like those ole' fair weather friends who abandon you when times are tough and you really need their support, these a**hole voters only wish to be on the side that is PRESENTLY in power.

This kind of person is definitely more reprehensible than the objective traditional conservative, and equally abhorrent to the koolaid drinking bat shit-crazy-right wingers.

I'd much rather do hard negotiations with "our father's type conservative because YOU KNOW where he/she is coming from. This group are the original "flip floppers." They truly suck! Be sure to figuratively check your back for "the knives" if ever you are forced to deal with these morans. :P

13. He hasn't made enough billions yet from his war profiteering.
He doesn't want to have to rely on his Social Security check when he retires. And you just know he's worried about that. Seriously though, he couldn't care less what 100% of those polled, if the # were ever to reach that, thinks about his messed up policies regarding Iraq.
