After days of brow-furrowed, self-righteousness analysis from much of the national media over Senate Democrats' tendentious and dishonest "torture report," poll after poll has shown that the American people aren't eager to join the anti-CIA mob. The latest, from NBC/WSJ:
(1) President Obama's approval rating has rebounded over to (45/50), much better than other recent polls have shown. His approval on the economy is slightly underwater, while he remains in deep trouble on foreign policy and immigration.
(2) "[T]he nation shows weariness of President Barack Obama , with more than 70% saying the next president should take a different approach from the current one," the WSJ writes, noting that Republicans now hold a very slight (40/38) edge on 'next president' preferences.(3) Seventy-one percent of respondents agreed that voters sent Obama a message in November, but a 55 percent majority believes he hasn't received, or has actively ignored, that message. Only 16 percent say he's changing his policies and behavior in response to Democrats' electoral beating.
Republican victories in the midterm elections have translated into an immediate boost in the partys image, putting the GOP at its highest point in eight years, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll.The spike in the partys standing comes after Republicans picked up nine seats to take control of the Senate, raised their numbers in the House to the highest level in more than half a century and added new governorships to its already clear majority.
In the new poll, 47 percent say they have a favorable impression of the Republican Party, compared with 33 percent in the month before the midterm elections. An equal percentage have an unfavorable view, which marks the first time in six years that fewer than half of Americans said they saw Republicans negatively.
The improved standing reverses a lengthy period in which the public had given Republicans declining and, ultimately, historically low ratings.
We’ve seen 24. Sometimes you’re gonna need a hacksaw.
The real torture is being dealt by the chimpanzee in the WH on the American people.
?
Diane Feinstein is a treasonous partisan hack who needs to be forcibly retired.
If you never saw 24, Jack Bauer only had hours / minutes to save the world, and he was forced to use rough methods of interrogation to get his Intel. One famous one came after one bad guy died and he says “I’m gonna need a hacksaw” to his underlings. (I think he used the head or hand or something to get someone else to talk or something.) it was a great line.
No sympathies for jihadists.
I only saw one episode
You said it, especially since she is not up for reelection
Absolutely not
Don’t tell Dianne Feinstein. She’ll be pulling the hair out of all her wigs again!
