So what would get *'s popularity level back up?

[Deja Q]

Assuming * cares?

Proper gas prices?
JOBS returning?

What exactly needs to be done?

(this can be said for anyone who is President as well, but * is the current one...)

[LiviaOlivia]

1. Rigged polls

With answers to slanted questions. How's that?

on edit: How come I never get to participate in these polls? Who are they asking?

[Mountainman]

2. Leaving office in 2009. I know that would be popular to me.

I can't wait till Bush Cheney and all the rest are put out to pasture. Everyday I am more pissed off at those who voted for them. More so over those who say they voted for Bush and now wish they hadn't. Why were they so fucking stupid before?

[Demeter]

3. If He Rounded Up All His Cronies and Enablers

and fed them poisoned Koolaid, I might consider it a plus.

[WHEN CRABS ROAR]

4. More fear

[Snotcicles]

5. A resignation.n/t

[abluelady]

[Independent_Liberal]

[OhioChick]

29. First thing that came to my mind, as well. n/t

[patricia92243]

6. Terrorist again - but this time - big. The nation will turn to the comman

commander in chief - just like they did before.

[JackBeck]

18. Even though I agree, doesn't this shoot a big whole right through

many of the neo-con, right-wing, fascist's talking points?

"We're fighting them over there..."

"We have had a terrorist attack since 9/11."

"Republicans are the only ones you can trust to fight terrorism."

Would love to see the freeper spin on those statements Jeebus-forgive there was another attack in this country.

[MissWaverly]

26. If there was real terror, he would be gone somewhere

in an undisclosed location and Cheney too, with some poor worker bee left to handle the crisis,
like Tony Snow, remember how they shoved Scottie under the bus over the Quail shooting, better
him than us, et tu Brute? His polls would not be through the roof; it would be Katrina
and Iraq revisited, and if it was a democratic area; they would not rush to help.

[treestar]

68. It's getting to the point where that might not help

The Repugs bank a lot on how there has been no attack since 911, so an attack would make them look incompetent.

[TheFarseer]

7. Violence in Iraq ending n/t

[AX10]

8. Poll rigging and fear.

[WHEN CRABS ROAR]

10. And lies

[hijinx87]

9. capturing or killing bin laden.

a major victory in iraq.

major concessions by iran and/or north korea.

none of which is likely to happen, by the way.

[panader0]

[Warren Stupidity]

14. He ain't running for anything.

Our fixation on **'s bad numbers is a bit misguided. A better question is what can the republican's do to salvage their negative perception with the voting public. The answer is obviously: a) terra terra terra; b) divide Democrats; c) mobilize their megachurch fundaloon base.

They are just getting started on the fall campaign.

[hijinx87]

17. * still leads the republican party.

and will until they nominate a candidate for 2008.

(I originally mistyped condidate :puke:)

bad polls for him is good for us. no two ways about it.

[treestar]

69. Right, and like I saw on another thread, that makes it a good strategy

for Democrats to call their opponents "Bush Republicans" at every opportunity. Sort of the opposite of coattails.

[Selatius]

16. Bush imposes price controls like Nixon did in the Oil Crisis of '73

He could get a big boost if he did that, but that would mean pissing on the very same people who financed his rise to power.

[jogi1969]

27. They have sucked at the publics teat

for * whole time in the people's house
he could do that with BigOil's consent - they are already 'lowering' gas prices - and the sheeple & freepers are dancing in the streets

[mtnsnake]

19. Lower gas prices, but they'd have to drop to 45 cents/gallon this time

Otherwise, people shouldn't buy into any of his forced fluctuations at the gas pumps that are choreographed with elections in mind.

Seriously, though, I know damn well he's gonna order his oil minions to drop prices by at least a half a buck or more by October. That's why he ordered them to raise the prices so obscenely to begin with...just so it would make dropping them easier when the time is ripe.

[ima_sinnic]

20. Nixon was very unpopular forever after he resigned,

but after he died he was suddenly portrayed as this big statesman, critical thinker, blah blah blah, he was suddenly greatly elevated.

therefore, to achieve popularity, * must . . . well, I think you see where this is going . . . :eyes:

[ginnyinWI]

21. yes, that might do it.

That, and a sufficient amount of time for people to forget the worst of this, the worst presidency ever.

[Cleita]

36. Apologize for all his mistakes first, then admit he's in way over

his head and resign for the good of the country. That might do it, but it will be a hard sell, especially if he doesn't get rid of Cheney first.

[OffWithTheirHeads]

22. suicide would do it for me.

[baldguy]

24. Or a tragic, preferrably painful & humiliating death.

Scrotal elephantitis maybe

[Greyhound]

31. I'm thinking chainsaw accident while he's "workin' hard". n/t

[hijinx87]

23. I hate to say it. hell, I hate to think it . . .

but another terra attack would almost definitely boost
his polls. the congressional dems probably wouldn't be
able to bring themselves to blame the administration in
the aftermath of something like that, the country would
rally to his side, & etc., & etc.

my blood runs cold to think about it. :grr:

[rucky]

28. I disagree.

he's had 6 years to secure the nation, which he brags about being successful in doing. If they orchestrated another one, they'd have no record to run on (as if they do now). It would be totally contrary to the rhetoric we've been hearing from them about "strong on defense" and "vote for a dem and terror will strike" blah blah blah.

Credibility gap is too big. the people won't fall for it this time.

[hijinx87]

30. I certainly hope you are right.

but people react strangely (stupidly?) after stressful and tragic
events. I could see it go either way.

[elehhhhna]

32. no way. not gonna work again.

[hijinx87]

39. it probably shouldn't have worked the first time.

but it did.

9/11 was the second terrorist attack on the WTC.

[elehhhhna]

40. ...and the first SHiock & Awe attack by the BA.

[hijinx87]

41. people ate it up when he crawled on top of that pile of debris

with the bullhorn.

I guess I just lost all faith in the public when they fell
for that shit.

[elehhhhna]

53. yeah. on SEPTEMBER 14th! Always needs time to sober up.

71. thank you for deleting the post below, mods.

[ima_sinnic]

44. no. the people are already way fed up. and don't forget what Katrina

did for his "popularity"--I'd LOL if it weren't so tragic. :cry:

[hijinx87]

46. speaking of katrina . . .

* is totally lucking out so far this hurricane season.

not that I wish one on anyone or any state, but it does expose the
incompetence of the * administration in a big way.

[Bucky]

49. But even the recent *foiled* attack seems not to have helped

I think people aren't as dumb as Karl & Dickie have hoped. They want to trust their leaders, they'll even be fooled a couple of times... but when the pattern of incompetence is so clear, I doubt people are gonna be swayed by a success where hte credit really belongs to the hardworking law enforcement officers who DIDN'T drop the fucking ball on bin Laden.

[hijinx87]

52. no, but I'll bet that tony blair could come close to getting elected

I was relieved that * didn't get a bounce out of the fact
that the british were on the ball.

[Bucky]

64. Blair has already said this is his last term. Bad news for neocons.

Labour will still hold onto office (probably) as the Tories don't have much of a program and Labor will be running (ironically) as the change-the-course party.

[orpupilofnature57]

25. Being Truly called by Jesus and denouncing his life thus far.

[Bucky]

65. Jesus did call him. Line was disconnected. So Jesus emailed him.

Dumbass didn't know how to use the internets.

[orpupilofnature57]

67. That figures, imagine if he didn't go to Yale?

[helderheid]

33. I'm sure his numbers would go up if he resigned.

[IndyBob]

34. I hate to agree, but another terror attack would do it.

I don't foresee any gains occurring due to any foreign or domestic policy advances, * has the King Caca touch - everything * handles turns to crap.

[helderheid]

35. but another terror attack means he's not protecting us.

[hijinx87]

37. people don't think after national tragedies.

and most people probably don't keep up with the failings
of the * administration as closely s we do.

I don't like it any more than the rest of you, but I think
confused patriotism would rally the country to *'s side.

[karlrschneider]

38. True, but a "hugh" mass arrest shortly afterward might be perceived

as a 'major success' catching the bad guys. So what if it takes a couple months to decide they had
nothing to do with it...the elections are over.

:eyes:

[hijinx87]

42. and it could justify attacking another country . . .

who would be "responsible" this time? iran? syria?

jeeez, this just gets worse the more I think about it.

[soothsayer]

43. Nah, more terra on his watch would kill him

[bridgit]

45. start addressing the business of 'we the people'...

:shrug:

[stepnw1f]

47. If Bush Tore Cheney's Mechanical Heart Out of His Chest

threw it at Condi's ugly mug, grabbed Rummy's hand and jumped out of a twelve story building, symbolic of every step he had missed.

[Bucky]

48. Sloppy blowjob from Monica Lewinsky (or Bush's version of Monica...

But where's the raspberry beret?





and the

very same

picture

from a

different

angle...

[blogslut]

51. Nothing

There's not damn thing he can do or that could happen that would change his poll numbers. All he ever had going for him was pure illusion. His cowboy act is tired and hollow. His promises turned out to be lies. Pretty much everyone has figured out the man is nothing but an arrogant blowhard.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

54. A snappy new orange jump suit and a vaction in Guantanamo.

Where he could enjoy frat-boy pranks with the playful guys guarding him.

[Telly Savalas]

56. Free pot in the mail.

Every week the government ships each household a modest size bag of marijuana in the mail, free of charge.

[AusGail]

57. Maybe, if he went hunting with Dead Eye Dick

and he "accidentally" fatally shot him. His popularity may rise posthumously.

[BlueCollar]

58. If * were to enlist in the army

as basic infantry and go to Baghdad and walk foot patrols with shoddy armor....


I'd be less inclined to despise him, and more inclined to just hate him

[nedbal]

60. started speaking like he had a MBA from, Harvard/Yale

not like someone who dropped out after 6th grade.

note : every time you dis * don't just say * say * and his repubs.always......

* won't matter in 2 yrs, always link the 2 together

[leftofthedial]

61. If I got my old job back

at my old salary

and was recompensated for all I've lost,


I'd still hate the motherfucking degenerate.

[bananarepublican]

62. Showing up at his next staged photo-op in diapers!

Let's all hope Rove reviews my suggestion and thinks it's actually a good idea!!!

[B Calm]

63. Maybe parading around the deck of an aircraft carrier while being

too stupid to unhook his parachute harness. Republican women will get moist and excited looking at his testicles pulled up to his belly button.

[JI7]

66. another terrorist attack ?

and more because Americans are the type that tend to get angry and feel the need to back "the leader". other nations like in Spain the people demand answers from their leaders when bad things happen.

hopefully i'm wrong and people would be more willing to question and hold the administration accountable rather than being sheep and all the bs about standing by the pres and patriotism etc.

[TheFriedPiper]

70. If he spontaneously combusted on live TV, I'd like him more

[Dinger]

72. If He Came Clean & Reversed Every Action He Took (judges,laws, etc.) And

Left office, and gave back everything he owns, as well as all his cronies, if he could turn back time and not start this illegal war, and give life back to evey life he's taken, resign in disgrace, leave the country, no, the planet, and disappear like he was never here in the first place, and all his cronies too, well, maybe it'd help, . . .. . . . . . . . . . . . . a little, little bit.

[Nikki Stone 1]

73. The twins appearing Naked in Penthouse?

?

[Warren Stupidity]

74. There is a papparazzi shot of Jenna's bush floating around.

Seems she had a bad beach wardrobe issue. Perhaps this is an attempt to turn things around?
