Other Rasmussen polls:

more trust REP on health care (44% GOP, 41% DEM)
more trust REP on economy (46% GOP, 40% DEM)

We need an election to get things turned around.

It’s the economy, stupid

(speaking to Obama)

The economy sucks and it is tanking despite what is being said. The second foreclosure wave is just beginning. The only stimulus money reaching the masses is the unemployment extension

Too bad Obie can’t get his stimulus money back and use it to pay down the credit debt of the public which is about to implode. If the Fed raises interest rates a point, duck for cover. If they dont, pretend we are Japan for a long time

The mobile American has become immobilized unlwss he gives his home, his only investment, back to the bank and lets a speculator buy it for pennies

Americans can no longer chase the job market unless they ride out of town on the back of a pickup like the Oakies in the dustbowl

They are trapped and realize Obama isn’t helping them, he is helping others with their tax money

Meanwhile, gas is creeping up again

I’m prepared to lose this one, for sure. I do think I’ll see some of the more egregious practices eliminated in the industry, such as purging patients during treatment, etc.

That will be a step forward.

AnninCA on August 21, 2009 at 11:05 AM

Anna that is the most outrageous lie Obama has told. It against federal law to cancel coverage in the middle of treatment and to prohibit renewal. THe law is called HIPAA and an insurance company can lose its license if it tries that.

Can my insurance company cancel my policy or refuse to renew my policy if I
am diagnosed with cancer?
No. Your health insurance may not be canceled or not renewed by the health
insurance issuer based on the fact that you have been diagnosed with cancer.

Once the Dow hits 10,000 it will go up. I don’t like it, but it will.

tomas on August 21, 2009 at 5:51 PM

This may be false optimism, but I don’t think so. In fact, the market is going up only as The One’s approval is going down. He is so far left that even the market knows that if his policies are adopted, the free market is, if not dead, severely gutted. I think most people will recognize that if the market does recover.

Why 25%? I mean that is just insulting, they might as well not even pretend and just leave out Republicans altogether.

A quick look through the liberal blogs, and they’re all blaming Obama’s falling poll numbers on erosion among democrats for going wobbly on the public option. Oh no, claims some piece from Plum Line, it’s not the independents, who oppose just about every aspect of ObamaCare. He’s sinking in the polls because the liberals are pissed. Give me a break. This guy is bleeding independents so badly he ought to be in the ER. Did they see this part:

WaPo/ABC sees independents as the key, as should Congressional Democrats facing elections next year. At the beginning of 2009, Obama had high ratings among independents, but no longer. Only 41% now trust Obama’s judgment, down from 61% in January. They disapprove of Obama’s handling of health care by 57%, almost all of whom strongly disapprove, and the same number oppose the policy itself. Among the half of independents that say ObamaCare will affect their vote in the midterms, they swing 2-1 to saying that they will oppose candidates who backed it.

Yup, his only problem is the liberals all right. The depths of delusion that liberals can succumb to never ceases to amaze me. Let’s just hope Obama heeds their advice and takes an even harder turn left, you know, since the independents are hanging tough with him and all.

Remember when you turned on my Cap and Trade and then my Health Care plans and I wee-weed on my knees and begged you not to because I’d go berzerk?
Well, you did anyhow and my days have gotten worse and worse and now you see I’ve gone completely out of my mind.

And they’re coming to take me away Ha Ha
They’re coming to take me away ho ho he he ha ha
To the funny farm where life is beautiful all the time, and I’ll be happy to see those nice young men in their clean white coats
And they’re coming to take me away ha ha

You thought when my poll numbers started to crater that it was a joke and so you laughed, you laughed when I said that going below 50% would make me flip my lid, right?
You know you laughed, I heard you laugh, you laughed, you laughed and laughed and then you turned your back on me, but now you know I’m utterly mad.

And they’re coming to take me away Ha Ha
They’re coming to take me away ho ho he he ha ha
To the happy home with trees and flowers and chirping birds and basket weavers who sit and smile and twiddle their thumbs and toes
They’re coming to take me away ha ha… …

Trolling is instructive for a couple reasons. It gives people who don’t read lefty sites a glimpse at the arguments they’re attempting to use, and it helps us keep our blades sharp and share ideas on how to counter those arguments.

Without any trolls around the comments sections would mostly be one and two line snarkfests.

Yup. You sharpen your knife on a stone, even though the knife can’t cut the stone.
