Half the country wants Obama impeached. The other half are masochists.

Half of what country? - sm

President Obama's approval rating is holding steady at 53% despite the wingers' best efforts to scandalize him to death.

Didn't you ever notice, after a natural disaster of some sort, I guess you could call him that, they always put the most ignorant people on TV to be interviewed? Makes the whole area look bad.

One can only hope. Sigh....but on a more serious note (sm) - LM

That is the half of the country that when polled about current events never heard of Benghazi, don't know the government is snooping into their private lives, and don't have a clue about the IRS. Health care? When interviewed, many of them say they thought it already passed. This is probably the same half that reads the NY Daily News.

Snooping into their private lives? - sm

That's only a continuation of Bush's snooping into people's personal lives.

Do you NOT "remember" warrantless wiretaps, etc. that Bush put into motion? Was it okay for Bush to do these things, in your opinion?

Really??? Then why is Obama's current - sm

rating at 53%?? That's more than half.

Of COURSE, you don't think there is any such thing as a Democratic "patriot," do you??

Of course not. Is that the NYDN? The ones who think he - walks on water? Oh, brother.

Oxymoron, that was.

"job" is to constantly hatefully ridicule Obama every single day.

At least they didn't just crawl out of the woodwork in 2009 - like P-U did.

Truthfully, you can post all the polls you want and each one will be different. Just looking at a couple, his ratings ranged from a low of 49" to a high of 61%. Most polls are unscientific and anyone can vote more than once in those polls.

As of Monday, Mr. Obama’s Gallup approval rating was 49 percent — the same as it was, on average, in April. Mr. Obama’s Rasmussen Reports approval rating was 48 percent, not much changed from an average of 50 percent in April. Mr. Obama’s approval rating in a CNN poll published on Sunday was 53 percent, little different from 51 percent in their April survey. And in a Washington Post-ABC News poll, Mr. Obama’s approval rating was 51 percent, essentially unchanged from 50 percent in April.

CNN states his approval is 53% and most bloggers are using that poll because it's the highest.

Wipe those specs off and try again. - sm

It's half of the GOP, not half the country. No word on how many eligible voters were polled. If it were on the order of 2,000 respondents (typical of the polls I read), that would mean 0.009695935% of the 206,073,000 eligible in Nov 2012. Even extrapolating out to the Nth degree, based on GOP turnout in 2012, half of 47% is nothing to crow about, especially considering the fringers launched their impeachment campaign on Day One 2009. Not much traction gained in 4-1/2 years, don't you agree?

I'm impressed. You're better at cipherin' than the - idiots at the IRS - LOL

What are your thoughts/opinions on the Patriot Act? The extension failed in the House yesterday, but should it be extended or is it unconstitutional? http://news.yahoo.com/s/yblog_theticket/20110209/ts_yblog_theticket/patriot-act-extension-fails-in-house ...

This law was enacted in 1994. It was expanded in 2006/2007. For a lot more information, you should look up Chapter 119, title 18 of the U.S. Code. The second report gives little more info, which I will post a paragraph or two in a different typestyle so you all don't get confused and starting with the word "background." So, for those bashing Bush for starting electronic survellience, I'm sure you will agree that he was NOT President in 1994-1995 or did I miss so ...

Straight from the horse's mouth: A former CIA asset. (Pay careful attention to what she says about 09/11 and OBL's "death.") How many people know what is really in the (Anti) Patriot Act? Not many...

By Andrew McLemoreSaturday, March 27th, 2010 -- 6:25 pm Hatred is getting a lot of press this week as reports of violent harassment against Congressional Democrats continue to surface. It began last weekend with Tea Party activists shouting racist and bigoted comments at House Democrats during the final push for health care reform. But new research shows the Tea Party may be the nice guys amid soaring numbers of hate groups. An "astonishing" 363 anti-government or "Patriot" groups appeared in ...

While technically correct, that's not half the story. The controversy surrounds two groups: Oath Keepers and Second ...

And I am getting worse. I realize I need to get help now, or my life is not going to go anywhere. I'm starting to have more suicidal thoughts and anxiety attacks.

Since this thread started last week, I ordered, received, and have been using e-cigs for 4 days. They're awesome. I've smoked since a teenager - before cigarettes were taboo. Since working at home, I was smoking 2+ packs a day. I'm now smoking maybe 8 cigarettes a day, with absolutely no withdrawal. When I smoke a real cig now, it's more of a choice rather than a necessity. When I run out of my cigs, I won't be buying a new supply ...

Did some more research on this and apparently Rep. Jose Serrano (D-NY) is simply a fanatic about repealing the 22nd amendment. He actually has tried this before (HJ Res. 5) back in 2009, so I'm guessing it'll get about as far this time as it did last time. I would, however, like to have a discussion about the pros and cons of this bill - apparently there are some that would like to see this amendment repealed. I'm actually for more term limits - senate, house, supreme ...

I posted a few times on the prayer board about being abused by my sister for as long as I can remember. Several of you encouraged me to see a therapist, and today was my first visit.

She is just wonderful. It was a very difficult session for me, having to give ...

I started my new job June 9th and stayed on to help finish out the pay period.

Well, my legs and ankles are mostly normal now. I think I lost 10-15 pounds and took finally four Torsemide two morning and two in afternoon to do it. I have diastolic heart failure and that plus my low potassium threw me into a bad spell with swelling that would not go down. I do feel some better though. I still have the hives and now they are really bothering me badly. I went to the drug store and finally got some CVS brand Allegra 180 mg. I found reviews saying it was good for hives since ...

I am so excited and hoping (with the way things are going) to be out of this field before the end of February (or earlier, hopefully). I believe that the ...

Well, it has been a month, short of 5 days, that I walked away from the medical field and medical transcription after over 23 years. I have to say that it has been the best thing that I have done for myself and my family in forever. The work schedule is a little screwy (dispatcher for law enforcement) but with no small kids and my husband already in law enforcement for 27 years, it has been adaptable for us. The first week was spent becoming certified on state and national comm ...

Thanks to all your messages below. Here's an update. We have a small bowl of food out for her. I just could not stand to wonder if she is starving. So now we know she isn't. She is still skiddish, but it warming up to us. She doesn't run unless we make a movement toward her. If we stand still and talk to her she will sit and watch us and not run. She does appear a little thin, but at least I am more comfortable knowing if she i ...

If so, this is where most of the fight is all about now, and this is why they want to unfund PP. If PP wouldn't provide abortions, then the ...

Yesterday Tiny received one dose of Lysodren, 1/4 pill. She actually vomited a few times the day before she ever received it. The vet said don't give her any dinner that night until her belly settles down, and then Wednesday give her the first dose. This morning my stepfather called me and told me he had to take Tiny to the hospital before 8:30 this morning. She had vomited huge amounts in the kitchen apparently overnight, very early in the morning. She was weak and ...

Just in case some were wondering how the stray cat that was pregnant is doing... We have not seen her in a few days. She was getting pretty big and we were thinking she would have them any time now. We set up boxes and old towels in different areas just in case.

Just wanted all of you who responded to my post and were so kind after the death of my cat on Sunday that we have a new addition to the family.

But best of all, our tweenie dachshund loves him! She has engaged him in play over and over. He is stil ...
