Expect *'s approval #'s to be in the single digits, why because of the WOC

Bushes' 'holiday' cards ring hollow for some
Christian conservatives wage war to put religion back into Christmas

What's missing from the White House Christmas card? Christmas.

This month, as in every December since he took office, President Bush sent out cards with a generic end-of-the-year message, wishing 1.4 million of his close friends and supporters a happy "holiday season."

Many people are thrilled to get a White House Christmas card, no matter what the greeting inside. But some conservative Christians are reacting as if Bush stuck coal in their stockings.

"This clearly demonstrates that the Bush administration has suffered a loss of will and that they have capitulated to the worst elements in our culture," said William A. Donohue, president of the Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights.

Bush "claims to be a born-again, evangelical Christian. But he sure doesn't act like one," said Joseph Farah, editor of the conservative Web site WorldNetDaily.com. "I threw out my White House card as soon as I got it."



So now that he is losing his wing-nut base, who's left?

2. Oh this is so funny
Bush can't please anybody anymore it seems! These people on the "religious right" who are whining are pathetic.

3. "the worst elements in our culture"?
Worse than poverty? Greed? Religious fundamentalism? Terrorists?

Oh yeah, the people who want to be respectful to everyone, THEY'RE the problem. :eyes:

4. I doubt realistically that his numbers would ever go below..

the mid to upper 20s. It would be interesting to see what Nixon's were right before he resigned.

On edit...it looks like Nixon bottomed out around 25%.

6. Don Quixote gets ass kicked by windmills
This is ironic. Fox created the "liberals are at war with Christmas!" scare last year to keep Americans scared of liberals. This year it boomerangs and kicks Bush in the fucking ass. Funny.
