The 30% lie

In most of the polls about our Commander in Cheep, a recurring number of reported Bu$hco supporters baffles me. I keep asking myself, “how could even 30% of Americans support this idiot?”, followed by “What would have to happen to erode that number?”

I read an article about Chimpy’s vacation on the ABC News site this morning. I always like to read the comments following any article almost as much as the article itself. As I read through the comments on this one, I was struck by the fact that almost all of them were critical of Chimpy. In fact, when I counted, there was one positive comment, out of 46 total. That’s something like 2.1% approval—and this on a very mainstream site. I feel better about the discernment of my fellow Americans now.

30% indeed.
