Actually, I have a MPM degree (Masters of Political Management) and studied political polling far more than I suspect you have.

BFD. Then you should know better. I have a Masters as well and have done original research. Polling it only one step behind the survey as the weakest form of statistical reference regardless of what Pew Research wants you to believe.

Your opnion, not in the case of Bush Hate. It is so obvious it is nothing short of my analogies in todays society. People hate Bush, they wish him dead. It is sickening and has polarized our society.

As a famous poster here once said, "Politics makes otherwise normal people turn into fucktards." Or something to that effect. He was right.

Aliantha 02-08-2009 06:28 PM

I don't think it's that extreme (about Bush). I'm definitely glad he's out of office, but I don't want him to be dead.

Of course, I'm not an American, so what does it matter what I think?

Cool agreed. Why call them African Americans when they are not? Why give anyone who is anything other than white a hand up on anything other than merit? I say erase all color and gender from every job application, scholarship application, NCO/Officer evaluation report, eliminate all pictures and let people achieve purely on merit. Then we will truely have equality.

I can wait. I will still need to take the occasional crap when he keels over, and I can make a trip to Crawford then.

TheMercenary 02-08-2009 06:35 PM

Ugg, why bother, Crawford is a asshole on the side of Texas. Nothing there but Bush and no reason to go. Other than to piss on where Cindy Sheehan protested. That might be a good reason.

Naw. When the time eventually comes, I'm going to go leave a big, steaming pile of "respect" on Bush's grave.

Actually, upon short reflection, I think all Bush did was inspire apathy in most people. They just couldn't be bothered with him anymore. No one hated him enough to try and knock him off, so I really don't think anyone hates him that much.

Oh, I hate him enough to crap on his grave. Trust me on that one.

And I am not alone. Something tells me that for 20 years after he dies, Crawford will be famous for its green, healthy grass.

Aliantha 02-08-2009 06:46 PM

Uhuh. Well I don't think you're doing yourself any favours with that kind of attitude, but that's just my opinion.

Personally, I don't think too many people who didn't support Bush will be bothered making the trip.

I'd even go so far as to think that it's highly unlikely you will either. ;)

My point exactly.

TGRR,
Makes a note not to employ satire around the few remaining Bush fans.

TheMercenary 02-08-2009 07:18 PM

Come on now, satire is good and healthy. Like a Snickers Bar.

Well then you really should tell that guy at fivethirtyeight. com because he has been predicting things with incredible accuracy, based on polls. He predicted the electoral college results, among other things.

Dubya is moving to North Dallas, right by Perot and the other rich folk.

I have no idea what's to be done with the Crawford place. But feel free to send the fertilizer down this way.

I admit I wished many times that something would happen to get his ass out of office, or that someone would wipe that smirk off his face. I can't stand him either. Him or any of his little posse. And he is the one who polarized the country, by his egomaniacal attitude. Good fucking riddance.

That's certainly fair... as long as you're holding him the promises he made, and not your interpretation of what you think he meant.

sugarpop 02-09-2009 01:37 PM

I think Obama has been doing very well in keeping his promises so far. Hell, the man hasn't been in office for a month yet. Some of those promises will take time. But from the looks of it, he intends to keep as many of them as he can.

classicman 02-09-2009 01:55 PM

Hell it would be hard not to be doing ok since "the man hasn't been in office for a month yet." But he has broken two minor ones already. Like I said before, not a big deal but....

sugarpop 02-09-2009 02:34 PM

Which ones has he broken?

Who cares if he's been in office a year or a day? His cabinet picks alone condemn him. I mean, I understand Clinton, he had to keep a third of the Democratic Party happy, but DASCHLE? TOM FUCKING DASCHLE? What the hell is THAT?

And then this stimulus thing.

Nope. Obama is the same old face.

I said they were minor, but since you asked. He broke his "five-day pledge" twice with SCHIP and the Lily Ledbetter Fair Pay Act in the same week.

Quote:

Obama’s 5 p.m. signing came barely three hours after the House approved the bill, breaching Obama’s promise to have a five-day period of “sunlight before signing,” as he detailed on the campaign trail and on his website.

“The Obama-Biden campaign website states. “As president, Obama will not sign any non-emergency bill without giving the American public an opportunity to review and comment on the White House website for five days.
Quote:

Obama signed the Lily Ledbetter Fair Pay Act only two days after it received final passage last week, and it wasn’t posted on the White House website until after it became law.

Politifact.com, a project of the St. Petersburg Times that tracks Obama’s campaign promises, says the five-day rule is the only pledge he has broken outright.

On the Ledbetter Act, the website wrote: “We recognize that Obama has been in office just a week, but he was very clear about his plan for a five-day comment period, and we can’t see why this one needed to be rushed. It is somewhat ironic that with the same action, Obama both keeps and breaks a campaign promise.”

A White House spokesman refused to comment on the matter.

OK. But I would say, since that legislation has been waiting to be signed for years, I won't be upset because he didn't wait to sign them. (I didn't even realize he had made that pledge... *scratches head*)
