Bush Nears Record
President just five points away from Nixon's mark
12 May 2006
WASHINGTON, DC -- According to Harris Interactive, President Bush's approval rating now stands at 29 percent. It is the first time the president's popularity has dropped below the 'magic 30 percent' figure in any poll.
Mr. Bush's new low puts him just five percentage points away from the all-time leader, Richard M. Nixon. The legendary Sultan of Sleaze registered an approval rating of just 24 percent in August 1974, days before he resigned in the wake of the Watergate scandal.
Anxious fans are now following the president's every appearance, waiting for history to happen. With a new domestic spying scandal in full swing and Rove indictments on the way, supporters are confident Bush will break the record some time this summer.
However, critics say Mr. Bush's record-breaking effort is tainted by his use of controlled substances in the 1970s and 1980s, which rendered him as simple-minded as a child.
"It's hard to be totally corrupt when you can't even spell 'corrupt'," says one aide, who declined to be named.
Critics also note the president has enjoyed advantages not available to Mr. Nixon. Though both men presided over an unpopular war and a scandal-plagued administration, Bush's quest for the record was aided by his disastrous response to Hurricane Katrina, a trigger-happy vice president, and the most corrupt GOP-lead Congress in more than 100 years.
Officials at Harris Interactive have stated that if the president does surpass Mr. Nixon's mark, there will be no asterisk next to his name in the record books.
"A record is a record, no matter how deplorable," said the spokesman.

In infalationary term, and the fact that most Americans think Jesus is coming real soon, I'd say Bush is way ahead at being the lowest... Nixon at least had people believing Viet Nam was winnable, at this point only a few die hard Bushies think there a victory coming out of Iraq! Which is why, we must now attack Iran! |

True! I guess. I really don't look at Hillary's ass. She's the senator from NY, I think, and I'm from PA, so I don't much care how big her butt is.
And this relates to the topic of the thread because....? |

And yet, I predict, we dems make no gains!!! We are truly pathetic and weak!!! We have no one!!! What a spineless party we have become....truly humiliating that we can't do a thing despite , possibly the most corruot administration since Nixon.

Less than 30% of Americans are patriotic. At this point most people don't even deserve to have their sorry ass saved by our fearless leader. We should just give up and surrender to Iran right now. |

I am very Patriotic and would die for my country....I also feel that you cam disagree with policy and still be patriotic...There is a lot of apathy among today's young people, unlike the 60's. they simply they are unimterested and unconcerned. The only thing that would cause students to uprise as in the 60's, would be a mandatory draft, which I am in fav or of. All of us then will feel the pain of loss...and the people screaming the loudest shouldb e drafted first... |

Hmmm...nope, don't care much for the "military coup d'etat" option. Retaking control of Congress and then impeachment will suffice.
OR we could just be miserable with a regime which the majority NOW agrees is pathetic and corrupt and bad for America for two more years.
As for posting a political topic - I don't like sports. And it IS fairly newsworthy when the President's ratings get down to where Nixon's were right before he slipped out the back door...
But hey, does that Hillary have a big ass or WHAT? |

Much of the reason for Bush's current low rating is due to conservative disgust with him. That's what all the chatter's about right now at conservative blogs & boards. He's giving a speech about illegal immigration on Monday night at 8PM. If he sticks with his usual nonsense, watch for even lower ratings! |

Technically it wouldn't be a coup d'etat. They swear to uphold the Constitution. When you have a constitutional renegade like Bush it's their duty to remove him. |

Of course, it would be a military coup d'etat. that would put us on the level of Burkino Faso. |

No, they're a country that overthrows their leaders on a regular basis. Fiji is in the coalition. |

If she gets the nomination next time around, look forward to Prez McCain. You guys need Gore or that cellular guy from VA. |
