Did Ya Ever Have That Sinking Feeling?
Hello again readers! I hope everyone is doing well.
The subject of today's post is the results of a new Washington Post-ABC News poll concerning George W. Bush's approval rating.
According to the poll, Bush's approval rating now stands at 38%, his lowest ever. The Washington post cites "...Political reversals at home and continued bad news from Iraq..." as the reasons for the decline in Bush's rating.
Also according to the poll, only 35% of registered voters approve of the way that the Republicans in Congress are doing their job. The poll also found that 55% of the registered voters surveyed would vote for the Democratic candidate in their House district while only 40% would vote for the Republican candidate. In fact, the poll found that the only place that the Republicans do not significantly trail the Democrats is on the subject of terrorism. There Republicans and Democrats are in a dead heat with the Democrats getting a 46% to 45% (for the Republicans) edge.
So what does this mean? Well, simply put, it means that people think Bush is a dolt and doing a poor job running the country. It also means that they think that the Republican lapdogs in Congress are just as bad as Bush.
Personally, I disagree with the Post's analysis of why Bush's ratings have fallen. I think that it is a matter of the American public finally waking up and realizing that Bush is clueless on every major issue from the economy to immigration to terrorism. I also think that the public is finally realizing that having idiots and criminals in charge of the country is a bad thing. Maybe the public is finally waking up to the fact that George W. Bush is a fake, a personable con man who would rather give taxbreaks to companies that export jobs than try to keep those jobs here in the US. Maybe the public is finally realizing that Bush is the type of president that would rather enrich his oil buddies than try to find a workable solution to end foreign oil dependency. Maybe the public has finally had enough of Bush's violating the Constitution and laws of this country in the name of "national security". Maybe the public is finally realizing that Bush has been the most ruinous president in the history of the US, undoing guarantees and rights that took 230 years to build in the space of a mere 6 years! Maybe the public is finally realizing that this petty, idiotic, dictator-wannabe needs to go. And, for once, the public seems to be realizing that the Republican members of Congress who toe the party line and rubberstamp Der Fuhrer's orders need to go too!
Oh, to sleep, perchance to dream! And to dream a dream that in November America is finally liberated from the clutches of a wannabe dictator who isn't evil, but is dumber than a bag of hammers. Oh what a fantastic dream that would be.
Oh well, time to wake up. You want to know what this poll really means? It means that 1027 random people were sufficiently pissed off and/or bored enough with "American Idol" to have taken the opportunity provided by this poll to do a little government bashing. Nothing more.
I am Chuck and I am way too cynical for my own good.
