Libs cry a river as Bush poll numbers start climbing

from JoeUser Forums
Just another stone to toss at a certain C.O.L. and his over-anxious glee at the thought that Bush might have been spinning economic numbers.

It seems that the public is buying into those numbers and Bush's approval ratings and poll numbers are going back up -- this according to no less a reliable source than that bastion of liberal reliability -- the New York Times.

Of course the NY Times had to include a Butt Monkey in the headline, but the news is still there for Libs to cry over: In Poll, Bush Improves on Economy but Iraq War Looms.

Please see original for the complete story. You know you don't want me to spin it for you. Conservatives typically feel no need to spin anyway.

Link, spin, play 'Twister' all you want.
No card-carrying liberal democrat will hear you.
They will ignore it and keep right on beating their collective breast.

Probably true.... even the closet ones (like a certain Clueless Old Liberal that won't admit he's a liberal and keeps trying to claim he's a moderate Republican, as if!) just can't bear to admit when there's been good news for Pres. Bush.

What is very interesting is that the CBS News earlier today was calling an article on Bush's numbers as: Poll: Bush's Ratings bottom out

Now a few hours later they have changed the article to Poll: Bush's Ratings Bump Up

I guess it took CBS News a little time for it to sink in that they will need to report this as an up turn that it is. Can't hide it anymore ya know.

No one is against the economy doing well; still, the vast majority doesn't feel it. Reagan and Clinton used the same spin about phenomenal job growth without stipulating they were poor wage service jobs. Who really cares about the rise in Pizza deliveries?

The reason the polls are up is likely to be that the "vast majority" do indeed feel it. If they didn't, I doubt the polls would change.

Who really cares about the rise in Pizza deliveries?

The guy delivering the pizzas? The folks eating the pizzas? Papa John?

"Who really cares about the rise in Pizza deliveries?"


Delivery people who would otherwise be unemployed? The people who are doing well enough with their franchise to expand delivery? The companies who produce the toppings? Like the idea of rich people keeping money in their mattresses, you ahve to understand that this is not a vacuum.

If ordinary people couldn't afford to buy more pizzas, then there wouldn't be a need to hire more delivery people. They aren't delivering caviar to Park Place and Boardwalk, after all.

I do, only if it's Round Table or Papa Johns though.

Don't you have to start somewhere?

I mean, really, the guy that would simply not have a job period WITHOUT the pizza job probably should be thankful he has a job, even if it is delivering pizza.

Not very many ppl can start out in the workforce as the CEO of the company they work for....most ppl have to work their way up from the bottom of the ladder. Although, when someone has to actaully work to achieve something higher, most libs do cry foul, and want to set up a program and slush fund for those individuals that feel that they are being mistreated.....

The fallacy of your argument, if taken to its logical conclusion, would mean we have a handful of good jobs in this country (since all the jobs being created are entry level) and the rest would be garbage Jobs.  However, that is clearly not the case.  Many of the jobs are entrylevel, but given that most people dont stay in entry level jobs, and most people are very well employed, that means a lot of good jobs were also created, just poopooed by the MSM.  Of course.  The only sector that seems to be losing jobs these days is the MSM.  So of course they are a bunch of sour old pusses.

Well it seems that there are more people out who value even the Pizza Delivery person than you thought. I personally value the Pizza guy, chinese delivery guy and even the supermarket delivery guy (I also include the delivery gal for those who might get offended). It's a shame Wendy's, BK and McDonalds don't deliver.

Just wait til you have kids!  By the time they realize that there are other foods than hamburgers and chicken nuggets, you wont want to even look at a burger joint again!

How many of us had a crappy job at one point in our lives? I know I did; I went through a spectrum of crappy, dirty jobs. But you do what you gotta do. I didn't go screaming to the media about it. I didn't have any skills; I was in high school and college.

Speaking of crappy jobs,
It's a shame Wendy's, BK and McDonalds don't deliver.

I put myself through college delivering pizza and hamburgers for the local McDonalds franchise. Yes, they even served McPizza. No, it didn't have "special sauce" on it. Or pickles.
All right, it did have special sauce on it. I put it there myself.

Seems there is a positive bump in poll numbers for El Busho.

But, then, poll numbers don't count since they're always skewed and only represent the opinions of a minute portion of the populace - right Island Dog?



Seriously, I believe in the bump in approval ratings regarding the economy - I'm surprised they're not higher.

If everyone here truly believed everyone else in America thought the world superpower's economy was humming along they would be awestruck the numbers reflected in the polls were not hovering at a heady 75% approval rate - in grammar school grading terms, a meager "C".

There are winners in this economy but they are not the former economic middle class citizens who once were the bulk of United States denizens.

Yes, you are exactly right.

The title is very misleading. I was hoping for a link where I might see a group of libs, and it would need to be an extremely large group, crying enough to create a river. Can you point me towards such a thing. Or even a pic of one lib crying just a little.


....or was all this just hyperbole?

I prefer real pizza--non-franchise pie.

You can take that too the bank.LOL
