WASHINGTON — President Bush's approval rating has slumped to 31% in a new USA TODAY/Gallup Poll, the lowest of his presidency and a warning sign for Republicans in the November elections.31%?! It's a sad day when the President is doing worse with the country than I do playing Yu-Gi-Oh. But I'm not surprised. Bunnypants just can't stop dropping the ball.
The survey of 1,013 adults, taken Friday through Sunday, shows Bush's standing down by 3 percentage points in a single week. His disapproval rating also reached a record: 65%. The margin of error is +/- 3 percentage points.
"It is a challenging political environment," acknowledges Tracey Schmitt, a spokeswoman for the Republican National Committee, "but we are confident that ultimately voters in November will recognize that a Democrat Congress would simply not be equipped to ensure either economic or national security for our nation."Oh, you mean like how you ensured our security by trying to sell our ports to foreign interests, or trying to prevent inspections of incoming material, or sending our National Guard to a foreign country to die, or outing a covert CIA agent who was investigating a country that hates us? And economic interests? Don't make me laugh - there has NEVER been a president until now who actually cut taxes (much less cut taxes for the rich only) during a war. Not until now. Nobody else was that short-sighted. The fact that anyone could keep a straight face while saying that garbage is nothing short of spectacular. Give that woman a freakin' Oscar, she deserves it for that kind of acting!
I know this is getting bad, because I've seen fairly staunch Bush supporters turning on their heels and saying they think he's a terrible president. They're even doing it in the media. They're revolting in Congress against what he wants. This is the American equivalent of the "vote of no confidence" in parliamentary governments.
This November, the people are going to show these liars and thieves just how they really feel - they're going to turn the rascals out, like they did in the good old days.
