Journal damn_registrars's Journal: Just How Divisive, Again? 2
There was discussion of a recent survey done for President Obama's approval rating. Many people brought up how few republicans approved of him, particularly in comparison to how many democrats did. Some people have been trying to draw a conclusion of this being a sign of Obama being divisive. However, there is another way to view these numbers, when you have the rest of the data.
As pointed out in politico.com, that recent survey asked voters to self-identify their party affiliation. And in doing so, only 24 percent identified themselves as republicans. Which means that in that data set, the republican representation is shirinking. It is quite likely that the formerly moderate republicans no longer want to be identified as affiliated with that party, leaving only the more extreme party members indicating their preferences as "republicans".
At which point it is no surprise that those more conservative republicans are not approving of Obama. It wouldn't surprise me if some of these right-wing leftovers are the same ones who felt that GWB wasn't conservative enough, either.

You're just like them. Identical brothers from different mothers.
Pudge - and especially Railgunner - would hyperventilate over any criticism of Bush. You're no different - except you hyperventilate over any criticism of President Odumbass.
The whole lot of you should go play in traffic.
Now start hyperventilating, monkeyboy. I called him President Odumbass. He's a bigger dumbass tha

Fact of the matter is, I don't give a damn what you have to say, when all you want to do is run around and throw insults. I have yet to see a single post from you that actually addresses a comment; rather you follow comments and then throw insults at the person who posted them because you don't have anything of value to add to the conversation.
However I still will not give you the satisfaction of another spot on my foes list. Y
