Regardless of what I think about Obama...
When his approval rating was 70%, there was nowhere to go but down.
40% of people are hardcore Republican, 40% are Democrat. Doesn't matter why, they just are. That's why the critical thinking 20% - quite a few of which are here on FR - are so crucial.

The ABC News break during Rush just announced the end of the Seattle newspaper. It didn’t do those Liberal propaganda outlets much good to promote BO’s election last fall, did it?

Take a look at Rasmussen predictions. Fascinating

So one cannot be “critical thinking” and hardcore Republican?
I am a rock-ribbed conservative, BECAUSE I habitually engage in critical thinking.

"President Barack Obama's approval rating has slipped, as a growing number of Americans see him listening more to his party's liberals than to its moderates, and many voice opposition to some of his key economic proposals," the Pew Center concluded.
As though he were someone who was equidistant from liberals and moderates and turning first one way and then another rather than being much farther along the liberal road than most of the "party's liberals."

I don’t think his numbers were ever as high as these polls say. I would bet that only the population centers in the fly over states get polled and that the rural folk never get polled.

I couldn't believe McClatchy would publish a headline that casts doubt on Obama. Maybe with their company, delisted from the NY Stock Exchange, and plummeting to earth, they've made a last ditch effort to gain readers by printing real news even if it might darken Obama's brow. Maybe?
Hey, I hand't caught that, look at the McClatchy motto. Riiiigght.

IMHO, I'm a conservative precisely because I'm a critical thinker. Being able to objectively and dispassionately discuss ideas should be a foundation to conservatism. It's one thing that separates us from Democrats.
BTW, I don't think that conservatism = Republican so much anymore. In many ways, they're a close approximation and closer to conservatism than Democrats....but in many others, they're little more than Democrat-lite. BUT - that's a whole other thread, and something that we could kick back and forth all night. :-)

My work? I wish. Alas, I had to steal it from another thread.

Agreed. A sad state of affairs.
I understand your point, now. Thanks for the clarification.
