That’s right. 51% of Democrats want America to fail. You can read this poll here.
“Regardless of how you voted in the presidential election, would you say you want President Bush to succeed or not?” Democrats said “not,” 51 percent to 40 percent – where the public at large wanted success by almost two to one.
Now, there are those who will say “oh, but that was 2006!” I beg to differ. You will find NO ONE NOW who thinks differently, acts differently, or votes differently than they did in 2006, who wanted America to fail THEN. They’re still the same guilt ridden, berkenstock wearing commie libs they always have been. And let’s face it, the only thing Bush was “doing” was the war on terror. They still feel the same way. Now they’re just getting their way.
Now that I have illustrated the absurd by being absurd…
The liberals are dooming their current shot at reshaping the political landscape. Ideology is the one ism in life that I know for certain “shrinks” with certitude. Religion shrinks when one belief sees itself as “the only” way.
These are genuine McCarthyites folks. They scream and yell that people are accusing them of being unpatriotic, when no conservative leader or radio mouthpiece can be quoted to say that. You now have the VICE PRESIDENT of the United States and the Speaker of the House saying people who dont agree with them are unpatriotic.
Understand how much these people HATE. Understand how much the people LOATH. Understand how much these people are NOT your friends.
Remember the prayer of St Francis.
Seek to understand rather than to be understood.
So let’s see, with Dems and Reeps split almost evenly in terms of total population, and this poll citing HALF of Democrats, I’d call that the exact same lunatic fringe (though on the other side of the aisle) as the lunatic fringe who wants Obama to fail.
And since you say you’ll show equal respect, we can only assume that you happily associate yourself with your side of the lunatic fringe.
But then, we already knew that, didn’t we?
Excuse me, Terry. You linked to a FOX NEWS POLL.
The rest is suspect after that.
I thought it was “Abhorrent” to want the President to fail?
i guess 9/11 did not happened because fox news reported .
Nice try Terry AKA Benedict.
Comparing a poll, where the specifics regarding failing or succeding could be anything from abortion rights to wire tappings to the was war on “terror” and a commentator who despises the economic polices being put in place to save this country to fail is not the same.
Sure Americans didn’t feel Bush was leading the country the way he should have the last eight years and that why American made history in electing Obama.
Americans, including myself, didn’t want America or Americans to suffer because they dispised or did not agree with his policies, foriegn or domestic.
Only un-American morons think that way…it like saying at the expense of my country I don’t want my country to succeed because I hate my President.
Again, that’s un-American in the sense that you never what Lady Liberty to suffer because the majority of Americans democraticly voted for someone you and a small minority of sore losers residing in the US hate.
Please consider the follwing phases: Love it or leave it, stand by your President and Country, choose priciples(one Nation)over partisanship.
The “proof” of the conservative movement here! Crowley, the survey you cite was a Fox News survey. Fox is the mouthpiece for Rupert Murdock and the Corporate Media, hardly an objective source.
And upon whose opinion did these geniuses base their poll? A survey of a whopping 900 people in America! Anyone who has taken a 6th grade stats lesson realize this pool is so small it indicates absolutley nothing.
But that’s assuming Fox people have passed the 6th grade.
Let me be the first to inform you that your “research” is not empirical evidence.
This biased, unreliable survey determined, among other things, that 51% of Democrats wanted Bush to fail. (There was absolutely no identification of “liberals” in this “scientific” survey. There is a difference between the two, you moron.)
Equally wondrous in this landmark study was the opinion “We, the People” had of Mel Gibson! Democrats, Republicans, and Independents all agreed he was an unsavory fellow in 2006! In addition, all three parties agreed they didn’t really approve of Fidel Castro then also! Wow-wee!
So on Aug. 10th, 2006, 51% of the Democrats surveyed in this massive, national 900-person study said that they wanted George W. to fail.
Perhaps that was because they were smart people who, after 6 years of Bush failure in Iraq and at home, realized this guy was THE WORST leader our country has ever had.
Maybe, just maybe, they foresaw the impending foreign and domestic catastrophes to which the Republicans were totally clueless.
Perhaps on that date they realized the Emperor was naked, while the Republicans thought his new clothes were just splendid.
The problem with your offer of equal respect is that George W. Bush did not deserve any respect. He sullied the Office of the President with lies and corruption.
It’s too soon to tell whether Barack Obama deserves our respect or not – ask me in 6 months when we’ve had a chance to see some of his impact.
