I know this gets asked every time Bush's poll numbers come up, but seriously, who are the ~30% of people that approve of him, and what exactly do they approve of? It' can't be the wealthy; they can't constitute 30% of the population, can they? Perhaps they're polling an inordinate number of mental institutions?

@2,

Unfortunately, they really are 30 percent of the population. That about sums up the people who are so ignorant they can't find the U.S. on a map and probably don't actually know who Bush is (Why not approve of someone you've never heard of? You have no reason not to.) and the people who are batshit-crazy fundamentalists.

I fucking hate this fucking country right now.
Thanks good ole' US of A for fucking up so bad that my tuition is now skyrocketing through the roof.
God I hate our president.

I wonder if I know any of that 30%...

On reflection, yeah, I do. They are ignorant and delight in their ignorance. Too afraid they'll be 'upset' if they know too much.

It's unfortunate they're still allowed to vote. Shouldn't there be some sort of test?
