In other news, 19% of Amercians have rocks for brains.

[olddad56]

1. and the other 18% are weathly employees of AIG.

[BearSquirrel2]

12. They're morons ...

The iron in all this is that they were blaring AIG commercials over the airwaves just before the place went belly up.

2. And McSame is bush III

[FVZA_Colonel]

3. He actually broke 20 percent.

I expected him to dip below 25%, but I honestly expected at least a full 1/5th of the American public to be so moronic as to still love him even now. This is a pleasant surprise.

[Shiver]

4. Seriously, they should just poll us.

Then we can get the number to 0% and be done with it.

Hey Shrub, there's your legacy - worst president ever. Be proud, you've exceeded expectations.

[RoccoR5955]

10. Hey, I can get his number down to NEGATIVE numbers...

...with a little fixing of the data!!!
:sarcasm:

[nichomachus]

11. Unfortunately

if that Palin woman gets into the Oval Office, we will no longer be able to call Bush "Worst President Ever."

[llmart]

5. Don't forget.....

that the 19% probably includes the rich corporate crooks who love his policies because they've made them even richer.

[HopeHoops]

6. I can accept 1/5 of the country is stupid enough to still support Bush

What I can't figure out is how McCain can even be still in the game! I need to print up some deeds for "choice land in Florida" in case I run into someone who actually believes McCain would change anything.

[Shiver]

8. I've already got a brochure printed up

Bridges in Alaska, Florida real-estate, the works. Someone has to take advantage of stupidity, so why not us? I have student loans to pay off...

[Pete2069]

7. How many of you have ever been polled!!!

I have never been polled...
What select group are....

9. The Rocks For Brains group waited till it hit them in their wallet

To realize what the others saw, fascists. Head Hurts

14. Bush is at 19%! Can he go any lower?

I never thought I'd see his numbers that low.

Although he should have a 1% approval rating.

[Connonym]

15. the amazing thing is that zero percent think the economy is getting better

and McCain as recently as late week said that the fundamentals of our economy were good. He's clearly off in his own little world.

[MnFats]

16. quick! let's have the election right now!!!

before the bastards pull their october surprises...

17. Bush's recent fundraiser in Oklahoma City

John Scripsick and Warren and Kay Henthorn all lost their sons
in the Iraq war.  When Bush recently visited OKC for a
fundraiser for McCain (Friday, September 12) they felt it was
their duty to be outside in protest.  John Scripsick wrote a
compelling op ed that was posted in the Tulsa World:

My son died in Iraq one year ago and it has made me study the
reasons we went to war, as any parent would do looking into
the loss of their child.

President George W. Bush came to Oklahoma City Friday, to
raise money for Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz. I think for a
donation of $5,000 you got your picture with Bush at a beer
distributor's house.

My son joined the Marines to help this country do good. I
tried to talk him out of joining, but after 9/11, lots of
young men and women joined. One day before his final signing,
I thought he was having second thoughts, but Bryan looked at
me and said he already gave them his word. I was worried, but
proud that he was a man of his word.

As time went by, I'd seen that Bush, Dick Cheney and others
were not men of their word. They will lie straight to your
face. Most people will lie or stretch the truth for one reason
and that is money.

I was there, on Friday, but not to get a picture taken with
him, but to ask some questions:

How can our government pay $800 to $1,000 a day to
Halliburton, KBR, Blackwater employees, which Cheney has ties
to, and only pay our troops $70 to $100 a day?

Is it true that Blackwater, which has cost taxpayers billions
to provide security in Iraq, has given generously to your
campaign?

Was Enron your largest contributor?

Did a Texas oil company, that gave to your campaign, drill in
the Kurdish region yet?

Did you read the report sent to you in August 2001, about an
attack in America coming soon?

Did you pay $5 million to a man from Iraq so he would not talk
about weapons of mass destruction?

Did you ignore Iran's offer to infiltrate al-Qaida after the
9/11 attack?

Why did you ignore Joe and Valerie Wilson's knowledge about
WMDs and al-Qaida in Iraq?

How many military leaders, CIA officials and others have
resigned since you have been president?

If you collect enough money, pull a good-looking rabbit out of
the hat, and McCain becomes president, do you get a pardon
from these questions?

My son died in Iraq on Sept. 6, 2007. Does my asking these
questions make me unpatriotic? Did my son die for my freedom
or did he die so Bush could pump money through private
contractors and please the Republican campaign contributors?

I was sure standing on a corner, outside the fundraiser, would
not get these questions answered. But maybe the right person
will hear the message. I do know that doing nothing will
produce nothing.

War.
