Hey there! 54% still believe in the 'changey-hopey' thingy and guess what?

Posted: Nov 3, 2009

THE ADULTS represented by the 54% who realize that REPONSIBLE change takes time - and that HOPE is what gets us through the wait.

The latest polls are showing 53-54% approval. Check out CNN.com for starters.starters.

If you think for a new york second that this president went from over 60% approval to 28% in the course of 10 months, you must be smoking something.

and "me" will never believe anything that says something different than what she believes and will stoop so low as to call someone dishonest for trusting a source other than hers. Realistically, no poll is accurate, obviously, as every poll comes up with differing results depending on what the pollsters want to achieve, although Rasmussen has historically been pretty darned accurate!

Yes this poll (Rasmussen) leaves out a large percentage - LNM

Rasmussen counts only "strong" approvals and disapprovals of a select audience of "likely voters" according to their criteria.

You are the dishonest one - but no surprise there - anon

Your using CNN's numbers???? Are you joking????? Why not just use MSNBC or even what the WH says. You CANNOT use a source such as CNN or MSNBC or Huff post or any one of the liberal groups to back up your claim. You need to use independent sources. Those are not. Rasmussen is.

But hey, I see what side you are on. Nothing you say has any credibility, and this goes to prove it. You have been posting dishonest posts on this board for some time, unfortunately you never have anything truthful to back up your claims.

I will not check out CNN's figures for starters.starters.starters. I will check out the numbers that come out from independent sources. They say only 21% approve. Rasmussen has always been credible. That is why during elections all news stations including CNN and MSNBC use them too.

I guess you're the one smoking something if you don't believe his approval rating went from 60 to 28% in 10 months because they have. Because all you have to do is read news from independent sources to realize that is what has happened. Ya might want to put down that kool-aid.

They refuse to use independent based polls. That would be like me saying Fox news reports Bush had a 100% approval rating.

I definitely agree it's got to be something more than kool-aid.

You must understand something about the polling - LNM

[ In Reply To ..]
Gallup has the approval rating at 53% for the July-October quarter. Rasmussen has the approval rating for today at (strongly approve) 28%, but overall approval is at 46%. The overall approval rating for Rasmussen is what would be comparable to Gallup, but is skewed somewhat by a different polling base. At any rate, all of the polls reflect approximately the same ups and downs, but you have to know what you are looking at before you can come to that conclusion.

Here's a few clues for ya W/F: BUSH started the bailouts B4 he left office.

There was a SURPLUS when Clinton left office. Not so much after bush finally left.

Little bitty checks - NJ

[ In Reply To ..]
Blue collar people I know in NE Ohio were crazy about Bush because every now and then he'd send out checks for a couple of hundred bucks. They almost jumped up and down about that. They had no clue that the budget numbers were wildly skewed because HE DIDN'T INCLUDE THE WAR BUDGET. They really don't much like people who don't look and act like them, either, so they liked Bush more than they will ever like Obama.

I've never understood why working class people are Republican. Republican is all about Big Business, not Labor. I guess it's the socially conservative thing, and there's no arguing with that kind of insanity.

NJ

the working class people... - sm

[ In Reply To ..]
are mostly Republican because we believe in being responsible for ones own self. We believe in working and taking care of ourselves. we don't expect anyone else to do it for us and we don't possess the entitlement mentality. We working class people are about fiscal responsiblity and not the wild spending spree the Dems always engage in. Democrats are all about taking it from those who work and those who have and giving it to those who don't. Democrats are all about spend and tax, spend and tax. They will eliminate the working class in short order if they fail to rein it in. It isn't republican insanity but republican personal responsibility.

As Republicans you are more often quicker to judge than to help - me

[ In Reply To ..]
others who need a helping hand as 'not responsible.' This is the mentality that thinks somehow that helping another person takes AWAY from them personally. Hardly.

So you judge the needy as "irresponsible" without having walked in their shoes.

Trouble is - thre are plenty of 'needy' people who happen to be Republican and THEY have no problem availing themselves of the help that is available.

And dont make me laugh about fiscal responsibility - or I'll have to remind you about the BUDGET SURPLUS at the beginning of Bush's 'residency' and where it stood when he finally left.

[ In Reply To ..]
that not everyone starts out on the same page.

In other words, this crowd shouts 'pull your self up by your own bootstraps' conveniently ignoring the fact that THEY are well-shod while the people they are shouting at are bleeding and barefoot.

If you point THAT out then they say 'you can't save everyone' or 'its not my fault' they are shoeless. and start the judgement/blame game all over again.

The bottom line is this whole 'train of thought' is supported by the 'haves'. The goal is to limit how much we as individuals or as a nation do to help fellow citizens.

The less we put out for OTHERS the more we have for OURSELVES. Great GOP 'family values' I GOT MINE, YOU GET YOURS.

do you deny.. - sm

[ In Reply To ..]
Would you deny that there is a large segment of our society who do nothing to help themselves, who expect to live off of the system? We may not all start on the same page, but it is not birth that determines our lives but what we choose to do with our circumstance as evidenced by countless persons born to horrendous situations, facing unimaginable horrors in childhood and in life have gone on to become productive and success adults and by the numbers of rich kids who have grown up to squander their gifts and talents and are now rotting in prisons for their offenses. I have been a "have not", but I have a work ethic, so I worked 2 and 3 jobs at a time to get back on my feet. Don't tell me I don't know what it's like. I am now employed and so is my husband so we are okay. But we worked 2 and 3 three jobs at a time. I still work 2 jobs because I will always live with the memory of what it was like and the knowledge that it could happen again at any time. And we do help the "shoeless" person if that shoeless person is also trying to help him- or herself. But we don't want to be supporting those who expect to have it handed to them, and we should not have to. It should be my choice, not forced on me. Americans are a very generous people. We donate billions of dollars to charities. Money to charities is drying up now, and it isn't going to get better with the Democratic congress shoving more social programs down our throats and when the new tax on health care benefits and the new energy bills for Waxman-Markey kick in. At one point we were eligible for both welfare and food stamps, but we have always felt that it is our responsbility to take care of ourselves and our family. I have no problem with welfare or food stamps or any social welfare programs - if they are used appropriately. They are supposed to be a short-term fix for those who have fallen on tough times. I have a huge problem with 5 generations living off of welfare because they choose not to do anything. that is what I am talking about. That is what the Democratic party has fostered.

Answer to your question - me

[ In Reply To ..]
You asked: Would you deny that there is a large segment of our society who do nothing to help themselves, who expect to live off of the system?

YES, I'd deny there is a LARGE SEGMENT of our society that do nothing to help themselves, who expect to live off of the system.

There is a SMALL group of people in that category - which is a FRACTION of the number of wealthy, powerful people working 24/7 to make sure people who get knocked down in a C RAPITALIST society have a very very very difficult time of regaining their footing. It's easier to stand on the backs of the poor and middle classes if those backs are always bent in struggle for survival.

The rest of your post was a bit of a rant. I doubt that no one in the so-called liberal quarters wants to open up drive-by handout stores for needy people. I think instead we want to see REAL ground-leveling so that every ABLE-BODIED person really does have similar opportunities to 'make' it 100% on their own.

It's a mistake to assume that because YOU did thus and such in tough times and made it, that everyone else should be able to as well. YOUR experience is not everyone elses.

Please provide proof to substantiate your opinions - Hmmm

[ In Reply To ..]
What makes you think republicans are quicker to judge than to help. Proof please. Show me links to substantiate your opinions because that's all they are. These are not facts, these are your opinions.

Republicans have done a lot to help the needy and nobody who is conservative things that it takes away from us.

You are the one doing the judging but you have no facts to back up your accusations.

Yes there are a lot of needy people out there in all different parties (there is more than just republican and democrat), and am sure there are a lot out there who are not affiliated with any party like a lot of us.

Trouble is - the democrats keep trying to make this claim without any proof, and they are the biggest judges of them all. Take a look at congress. It is doing nothing to help the needy/poor. They have no problems taking care of themselves. They just seem to forget about us "little folk".

It doesn't matter whether there was a surplus at the beginning of Bush's term. That was something quite unique, and as much as I disliked Bill Clinton I will given him credit for that. Bush gave us 3 trillion deficit in 8 years. Obama is giving us an 12 trillion in 1 year. There is no comparison.

Ummmm....actually...(sm) - Just the big bad

[ In Reply To ..]
As far as the deficit goes, if you add in the 2 wars that Bush didn't count (which is an ongoing inherited expense), then you will see some of the problem. The other problem with your argument is the fact that we had to do the stimulus as our previous president ignored and allowed the country to go to the brink of bankrutpcy. (And no all of that didn't happen on his watch, but he did a really good job of ignoring the situation.)

And now you say that congress (presumably dems in congress) are not looking out for the little people? Are you kidding me? Why do you think the dems are trying to pass healthcare reform? Why in the world would they try to pass a bill that provides insurance for EVERYONE if they don't care about the little people? Oh...that's right...the problem there isn't the democratic approach, the party of NO is the problem there. Geeezzz....Now there's your proof.

Other than that, I'm not really sure how the previous poster is supposed to provide *proof* for her *opinions*.

Well.... - Hmmm

[ In Reply To ..]
No I am not kidding about the democrats in office not looking out for us "little people". Lets start with the stimulus plan. The 1.? trillion dollars that we are getting taxed to pay for, but nothing to stimulate the economy. It only stimulates their pockets and their friends pockets and the people to get them reelected. And now I hear that the bankers who got the stimulus money are giving themselves bonuses (and I mean bonuses that is more than what they make in a year).

The health plan they are trying to cram down our throats. Are you kidding me????? This "plan" they have will not cover everyone. Why people think it it will I haven't figured out because it won't. Second. My rates are going to rise. As though $500 a month for insurance isn't enough (and that is only catastrophic, it doesn't cover basic medical costs) my insurance rates will now rise. This crap they are trying to pass is going to bankrupt the country. Maybe you're comfortable with that. Maybe you can afford to may more money but I can't. And I'm sorry I only make a certain amount of money. I do need to eat too. But the liberals come out with that I'm supposed to go broke and live in the red so I can give it for the people who won't work and don't have it.

You may call it the party of No, but someone has got to say No to the children. That's what happens when you have irresponsible children running wild with an open checkbook. The adults have to say enough is enough...NO.

I don't care how long it takes them but they need to go back to the drawing board. They need to sit down with other republicans and listen to their ideas and include them. They have not done that yet. But H. Reid will get up and say these stupid little sayings like "I'd like to dance but they are not standing up", when the truth of the matter is everytime the republicans try to meet with them Reids door is closed and the democrats close their doors and don't allow the republicans a fair shake. They don't answer their letters and request for time with them, then you have Dear Leader telling the country "I just want them to sit down and shut up". It's very frustrating to hear them say "we're working with them" when we are seeing right before our eyes they are not.

If the previous poster is going to make claims that he/she is then she needs proof to back it up. Those were his/her opinions. Not the truth. Provide the links and I'll say I'm wrong. If there are no links to back it up then it aint gonna fly. You can't post lies and expect us to just accept them. Lies are lies.

Links please to substantiate the opinions - sound familiar. Oh wait I get it...only conservative/independents have to provide links, the democrats can give their opinions and they aren't required to show proof of their claims. They get a free pass on that. Okay, I understand.

healthcare reform bill passes you will find that you can get comprehensive healtcare insurance for less than what you are paying now for catastophic coverage. Wouldn't that make you happy?

how? - dnh

[ In Reply To ..]
how can you believe we will get comprehensive health care for less money but millions more people? Remember "no one will pay more taxes?" Now we are talking about health benefits and limiting FSA and HSA deductions. Guess what that is. It is more taxes on everyone with health insurance. I sure don't make $250k will I sure will be paying more. You can't provide more care, good care, for more people but less money. Doesn't take a rocket scientist. You can't do it. The qaulity of care in this country will suffer significantly. Health insurance may be a disaster right now but won't be long before health care delivery will be a total train wreck. What we are looking at is just like what happened when we began dumbing down the schools for the small minority of kids who weren't making it, and everyone suffers for it.

Right - and.... - Hmmm

What good is this plan if there are no doctors. More and more doctors are saying they will just not be able to afford to be in the health care industry if this plan passes. So, what good is health insurance if you can't get health care.

More people = bigger pool = cheaper - NJ

[ In Reply To ..]
I think your premise is based on the currently uninsured all being sick. That is not the case. More people being insured equals more money going into the system which means it gets cheaper.

As to the sick who ARE currently uninsured, they cost us now when they go to the ER for care which they need more of because they held off going because of no insurance.

It'll get better when we have a larger pool of people. That's the basic premise that has worked so well elsewhere in the world.

NJ

bigger pool - dnh

[ In Reply To ..]
except that what we are adding to the pool are the people who have been unable to pay and will still be unable to pay so more people but less money so higher cost to those of us who do pay so I think your premise is backward.

No one will be able to keep up - NJ

[ In Reply To ..]
No one will be able to keep up with the spiraling costs of health care without reform. The public option is just a part of the reform, remember. The rest is about cutting costs. See innumerable previous posts about how that will be achieved.

NJ

At whose cost? - Hmmm

[ In Reply To ..]
Of course I would love to pay less. I would love to pay what someone in Idaho pays. For the same exact health plan (deductible, types of service covered, etc), it would cost me $180 for that plan. That would be a huge savings for me. And that savings I could then breath a little better and even give to some charities, and help out the people who need it. However...here are the problems with plan they are trying to pass.

First...if they say illegals will not be covered that is bull. Because they are also talking about just making all illegals now legal. There will still be people who cannot afford the health insurance (the ones who are out of work and don't have any money coming in). The people who do have health insurance? Their rates will be raised. How fair is that? Try Not fair.

Then on top of that it is run by government. Which as an MT I know what that means. Bureaucracy if you need any special tests. Since we know how crappy England and Canada's health care is which is run under the same thing, we know that most will suffer the consequences. We know Emanuel's background and what he said "words out of his own mouth" about certain people receiving a certain level of health care. Since I'm coming up to my 60s this is something that does worry me. I don't want a politician/government with no knowledge of health care deciding whether or not I am allowed to have a certain test or medication.

And I understand (I may be wrong and will admit it if I am, and I've got to do some more looking), but a few days ago I read a headline somewhere that the "death panels" are still in the bill. They are just calling it something else. Again, if I'm wrong I'll admit it, but I did read that.

All I know is the government has made a mess of Medicare, VA. And the health care the Indian reservations have (which is government run) is soooooo bad. I watched a special a few weeks ago on different indian govt-run health care. They said they are treated worse than dogs. Picking up dirty needles off floors to save money, etc, etc. It was horrible to see what they are dealing with. Sorry, I do not want that type of health care. But then again, if I develop a health issue I will most likely die of the disease before they approve any treatment, so then I won't have to worry about it.

All I say is I'm glad I have my burial plot already (thanks to mom who wanted her kids buried next to her).

I have to disagree. My Canadian friends cross the border to come to the States because they are so unhappy with their Canadian system. They are in Yorkville, close to Toronto.

[ In Reply To ..]
I did not 'speak as though it was fact' - I stated an *opinion* (which is based on many years of listening to and watching Republicans' commentary and actions.

This is an incomplete sentence: And the proof that they no problems availing themselves. So I have no idea what you are rambling on about here.

Please copy back my words where I said "Republicans don't help the people."

It's one thing if you disagree with my opinion, it's another thing to mangle my words or meaning and then tell ME I have to 'prove it.'

Here's your "clue" - Hmmm

[ In Reply To ..]
Look...I'm tired of people bashing conservatives for no good reason and no proof. Posting blatantly false information as though its fact and then when you can't substantiate the information you turn around and say it's your opinion. You wanted copy and paste of your words...here they are:

"As Republicans you are more often quicker to judge than to help".

You'll post things that are not true but have nothing to back it up with.

That's like me saying - the democrats in congress are killing the older people. The first thing you would say is "where is your proof. Please provide links to back up your claims". So with your "thinking" now when anyone says anything on this board they will not need anything to back up their claims because they can now turn around and say "I don't have to substantiate an opinion". You did not state in your post that what you said was your opinion. You stated it as though it is fact and it is NOT!.

And that incomplete sentence was from yours that read..."Trouble is - thre are plenty of 'needy' people who happen to be Republican and THEY have no problem availing themselves of the help that is available."

Again, please provide some proof that the republicans have no problems "availing themselves of the help that is needed". You must have some proof as to why you think this. Or is it another one of your thoughts you made up but acting as though it is fact when it is not. You want to talk about politicians helping themselves...lets talk about the democratic congress and what they have done since they've been in power. You can start with Pelosi, Reid, Franks, Dodd, and all those others at the top (yes there are some republicans included too, but the majority are democrats). All out to help themselves and screw the people of the United States.

Yeah, get a clue!!!!!

Now I know you are intellectually challenged so let me help you out a bit:

more often quicker to judge than to help does NOT mean they *don't* help - it means they're more often quicker to judge THAN to help.

I'm not going to sit here and post my good deeds, esp. to a lot of libs who basically feel a good deed is nothing more than giving an extra tax dollar or two in hopes the government will help out our poor (why not get off your liberal a** and go build a habitat for humanity house???). Why not go help out at your local shelter or soup kitchen?

And if Pelosi is so great, why are there still so many homeless in California? Perhaps if she spent less on Botox and actually built a shelter, they'd have a place to live. There's not a person on the face of this earth I hate, but there are people I strongly dislike and Pelosi is one of them.

Give me every single dollar I have put into these social programs back to me since I started working at the age of 18 and I'll happily invest it myself. I don't need your welfare, food stamps social security and all the other failure programs the gov't keeps spewing forth. I never had kids, so give me back my school taxes too.

Woah. Everything that is wrong in this country is the fault of Bush/Cheney? Clinton did nothing wrong? Oh, that's right. How could he? He was too busy having affairs and having people like Vince Foster killed. Nobody in the Senate or House did anything wrong? Notice how shaky Slick Willie's presidency started until the repubs took over and got things moving in 1994. Then the dems came back.........

Ronald Reagan was once asked if any of the deficit was hit fault. He replied "Yes. I was once a Democrat."

Obama cannot even take responsibility. Everything is STILL Bush's fault. Hell, I have an abscessed tooth that hurts like crazy so that must be Bush's fault too. Why don't we just blame Bush for everything that goes wrong in this word? Obama is a baby who whines and cries when things go wrong and finds someone else to blame.

I've been following the discussions on this board since the election and I've noticed that the Bush bashers turned Obama worshipers haven't really had much to say of late. Is their messiah is just not living up to the title? Are they too ashamed to defend or worhsip publically anymore? Personally, I'm totally disturbed by Obama and there are so many things that disturb me about him that I find it very difficult to put my finger on just one. Like his he ...

Well, after googling all sorts of things, I finally found angioedema (giant hives). I have had hives at least three times in my life starting as a young girl that had no cause. No meds, no different soaps, nothing. I am going to go back to the doctor and hope he gives me some kind of prednisone or Solumedrol. The itching is what finally convinced me. I mean I really itch and also the hives are so large. I don't usually have this large of hives. They say hives can get up to the siz ...

Well, hubby is long distance truck driver. He went to the dermatologist in August. The office called me 2 days ago and told me he had a balance of $1.07 left over after his insurance paid. I get an orange notice today this is the final notice. I feel sorry for these offices who really need $1.07. I should walk up there and pay them being as he is not here to go today. ...

So, I'm a conservative pretty much to the core. Not as far right as Rush, definitely nowhere near Michael Savage, more kinda like Sean Hannity. This whole thing about the DC Sniper being put to death tonight kinda has me bugged. The death penalty is supposed to be a conservative belief. I realize he killed 10 people in cold blood but who are we to play God and take his life too? I do understand the Bible saying "an eye for an eye". I read a lot of true crime, ...

Just wanted to let all of you know we brought my little Tiny home. We picked her up about 11:00 a.m. Saturday. I can honestly say when she was brought into the room where we were waiting it was one of the most touching things I have ever seen. The young assistant told us he would get her, and he asked us to have a seat. When the door opened a few minutes later he was holding her in his arms. It was not hard to see she has been through quite a bit. She l ...

When I work I have my window shutters open, sit where I can see anyone who passes by my home (live in a cul-de-sac), comes down my driveway, the mail person, others and love it. My husband was expecting a package, which I did not know about until after hubby arrived home yesterday asking if the men in brown had been here. I had seen them stop right beside my mailbox but never came down the driveway. Husband checked his email and saw where the package was delivered. Might have been but not to us. ...

If you haven't heard yet, the White House (obama) refused access to the World War II veterans until they finally had to tear down the fence themselves just to get in there. Did you know he also refused access to Vietnam Vets to their Memorial wall on Memorial Day 2012? http://grumpyelder.com/2012/06/obama-denies-entrance-to-vietnam-vets/ ...

He's having a "concussion summit" at the WH. After all, injuries in football are really important to this nation - always have been. The funny part is he started the day off with a statement about how he played football when he was younger (I assume this was before he became a member of the Choom Gang) and he may have even had a concussion. LOL - that would explain a lot, wouldn't it? This coming from the man who threw out a pitch in mom jeans that didn't e ...

I thought he was very honest in his testimony. Apparently most of Congress does too. A quote from Rubio: "I was, quite frankly, impressed by his honesty," Rubio told reporters. "That's the first time I've ever seen a witness come before Congress and admit they leaked something through an intermediary to get it to the press." Like most lawmakers, Rubio does not doubt that Comey felt pressured by the president. "Whether it rises to criminality, I think there' ...
