President Obama's approval rating amongst liberal Democrats rose 1% to 82% for August 15th-21st.

[Firebrand Gary]

2. It's a good thing we are the only group who votes.

Oh wait.

[TheWraith]

3. Actually, you would think that's exactly the case if you listened to some people here.

That left-wingers are the only ones who Obama ever needs to please, so he should act like a Democratic Bush and tell everyone else to fuck off.

Fortunately, these sorts of numbers disprove the claim that there is broad anger at Obama within the base. There is LOUD anger at Obama within the base, which is a whole different thing.

6. It's loud because the admins tolerate it.

I get that they want to run an inclusive operation. But frankly there's a big difference between allowing dissent, and allowing a tiny minority to scream, lie, smear, and to berate and abuse anyone who doesn't agree with them. Sooner or later they're going to have to choose between catering to the 15%, or keeping DU true to the mission it started with, as a safe-haven for Democrats.

[MADem]

11. +1,000,000 , and damn right!!!! nt

[KittyWampus]

35. I just wanted to say how much I agree w/you. I rarely visit here anymore after being here from the

beginning.

I don't mind a lot of the criticism from DU'ers who are balanced and occasionally give credit.

I'm sick of those who ALWAYS have negative crap to throw at Obama and elected Democrats.

[LoZoccolo]

44. I like your posts like this.

[Major Hogwash]

53. Wow, that's very sad. I think it has gone a long ways down the pipes, too.

It's almost time to do something else other than make posts supporting Democrats.

[Mr Dixon]

52. SAD

Agreed

[DCKit]

7. totally uncalled for. nt

[SidDithers]

5. K&R...nt

8. heh, some organizations think all democrats are liberal.

depends on who conducts the poll and how the questions are couched.

I see a completely different scenario.

[BzaDem]

17. Actually, they just ask you straight up: Are you liberal, moderate, or conservative?

Obama has the highest support among Democrats in 50 years. Of course, there will be some people who are never satisfied. But so what? If that number is lower than it has ever been in the past half century, I find it hard to see what the worry is.

[Angry Dragon]

9. Define a liberal democrat............

I have no idea what that means .......

[LoZoccolo]

45. I think that they let people self-report.

[MADem]

10. Ahhh, so it really is a small minority of scolds making all the noise!

That's excellent news!

[philly_bob]

12. Link please (nt)

[lindysalsagal]

13. Yes: Link, please. n/t.

[LoZoccolo]

14. It's from the Gallup site.

[Lasher]

16. Why won't you furnish a link?

[lindysalsagal]

22. He's 40 or 45 at Gallup. I went there too.

[LoZoccolo]

27. I am right about this.

[lindysalsagal]

34. Prove it. Link, or go away.

[LoZoccolo]

39. I'm still here.

[lindysalsagal]

40. No you're not. You're on ignore. Bye!

[LoZoccolo]

[philly_bob]

55. LoZ, you're the only DU member on my ignore list.

Here's from the DU Help FAQ:

"To add someone to your ignore list, find one of their posts, and click the icon (head with red x) next to their username."

All the arguments -- from the primaries to Palestine -- and you're the only one I've had to add to my ignore list, LoZ. The only one whose opinions aren't worth even an initial examination.

[LoZoccolo]

56. I was not on the ignore list at the time that you wrote that.

[Lucky 13]

24. Then post the fucking link.

[LoZoccolo]

26. Why would I respond to that kind of tone?

[LanternWaste]

29. Because your own actions...

Because your own actions are rarely predicated on the actions of others?

Or maybe not... maybe your decisions are greatly influenced by mere tone... :shrug:

[City Lights]

30. You don't post links even when asked nicely.

If you do respond, you post search criteria in quotes along with a snarky comment.

You're not fooling anyone, LoZ.

:thumbsdown:

[Lucky 13]

33. Why would anyone take you seriously if you don't post a fucking link?

[LoZoccolo]

38. I'm not sure, but you can look and see that some people do anyways.

[Lucky 13]

43. Your echo chamber

[pintobean]

20. LoZ likes playing games

Providing a link would require more than one line. Here you go:

I find it hard to believe.

[ZombieHorde]

15. "rose 1% to 82%"

That is a really big window. Couldn't the poll takers narrow it down a little?

;)

19. Just wait until the week after September 11th.

Rumors are going around that Sister Sarah is going to throw her hat into the ring on September 3rd.

But, if she doesn't, the MSM is going to talk about her all that week.
So, she might wait until the 10th anniversary of 9/11 to make her announcement.

The talking heads from the reichwing are going to go overboard criticizing Obama for being the President on that anniversary.

Like Graham used to say when he was in Monty Python . . . wait for it.

[KittyWampus]

36. Who had Osama bin Laden finally brought to justice? Unless the Media wants to totally not mention

bin Laden.

[Major Hogwash]

37. September 11th is on a Sunday this year.

So, 60 Minutes might do something special about it that day, I would think.

Maybe they'll show the clip where Bush said he didn't care where Osama bin Laden was just 6 months after 9/11.

[Major Hogwash]

54. Rachel Maddow said she was going to do a special on September 1st on her program

About the aftermath of 9/11, and how it has affected the country with 2 wars, the Patriot Act, passing the massive Bush Tax Cuts during those 2 wars, and other things that have impacted the country since then.

She is going to call it something like "Day of Death, Decade of War".

[Bluebear]

21. Gallup: Romney leads Obama by 2%. Good thing liberals won't be to blame!

:rofl:

[Robb]

31. Indeed. Liberals were never the problem.

[City Lights]

32. Exactly!

:toast:

[Warren Stupidity]

51. Oh no, we will be blamed. We are nader-splinterites.

[City Lights]

23. Thaaaat's greaaaaat, Loz!

Looks like you've got nothing to worry about. Liberals love the president and will vote for him in droves!

Unrec for your continued refusal to provide links to your tweets when asked.

[spanone]

25. good news on Obama is unwelcome here...

sadly

[hobbit709]

42. Another broken promise.

[LoZoccolo]

46. I'm not sure that Obama promised to raise his own approval rating.

[hobbit709]

48. Wasn't talking about Obama.

[Scurrilous]

47. BTTT

BORING!

I look forward to your daily barrage of inanity, and a satisfying unrec, but lately you have been off your game. Not off enough to garner a rec, but off.

[Mr Dixon]

50. Sweet

Nice
