Freepers React to Bush’s Low Polls

Jon Ponder
“Bush is losing freepers for crying out loud. So unless he’s picking up support with DUmmies [Democrats], these numbers seem right.”
— A Freeper

President Bush is even losing support among some of the simple-minded denizens of the ultra-rightwing Free Republic site. Here’s the reaction Pam Spaulding found in Freeperville to the persistive vegetative state of their (former?) Dear Leader’s poll numbers:

Actual Freeper Quotes™

The so called Generals Revolt is going to hurt alot. And, it will be a gift that keeps on giving to the dems to election day.

It was 45% three days ago

what happened is gas prices quickly went up

Well there is no reason for any poll to show 40 percent approval. Bush spends like a drunken sailor; refuses to protect our borders; has signed off on the US being a part of some north american one country and has wasted all of his politcal capital in return for very little. Having said that, I agree that he is better by a factor of 1000% over either algore or jean kerri, but that doesn’t mean he is any good.

I still support President Bush 100% +. Funny, the Polls never call me. The good news is – my opinion is the one that counts with me.

Wait for the privately funded DNC campagn campaign ads with Generals demanding that Rummy step down. This is a well organized plot. But, think if you were the average American and you were unhappy with the way the war was going and out pops a number of generals saying this isn’t the militaries fault it is Bush and Rummy’s fault, what are the American public going to think?

And, of course, you bitchers and bellyachers have just the right candidate in mind…… Likely, some extremist that stands no chance of getting more than .5% of the vote, but, by God, he’s the right man for the job. I have to laugh at how negative this place has become.

Prices are pretty close to where they were after Katrina, and there’s no hurricane now.

almost everyone I work with is an uninformed sheeple – none of them are talking about the generals, everyone is talking about gas prices, and a few are talking about the immigration issue.

I don’t think so. Bush is losing freepers for crying out loud. So unless he’s picking up support with DUmmies, these numbers seem right.

It’s the pollen count.

Yes! That’s it. The pollen count.

Gingrich for GOP Nominee in ’08

Jon Ponder

Run, Newt, run!

Since the rightwing media has annointed Hillary Clinton as the 2008 Democratic nominee, I think we “leftist extremists” (as your humble editors were once called in this site’s comments) should nominate our favorite candidate for the GOP nomination.

Therefore I am throwing my full support to Newt Gingrich to be the Republican Party’s 2008 nominee. After all, he is tanned, rested, full of ideas — and just about everybody has forgotten that he left the office of House Speaker in disgrace after it was revealed that he’d been having an affair with a coworker while he was driving the GOP’s persecution of President Clinton over his adulterous affair with a coworker that led to the president’s impeachment.

Despite being one of the foremost hypocrites in the history of politicsi, Gingrich is on the campaign trail in New Hampshire:

It’s almost always a joy listening to Gingrich when he’s on a tear. And he’s almost always on a tear of some sort. I caught up with Newt as he wandered around New Hampshire last week, which is what people who think they’re running for President do. Please, God, no, you say. Not that angry guy again. “He’s probably carrying too much baggage to be President,” said Peter Bergin, a Republican state representative from Amherst, N.H. “But he sure is a terrific idea man. He needs to be part of the debate.”
