Whose support could be lower than Bush?
 
Answer: Hillary Cliton!

Hillary Meter: Support Down for Former First Lady

April 19, 2006--Just 26% of Americans say they will definitely vote for
Senator Hillary Clinton if she runs for President in 2008. That matches
the lowest level of support ever recorded for the former First Lady and
is the sixth consecutive Hillary Meter poll showing her solid support
below 30%.

The number who would definitely vote against Clinton in 2008 rose a
couple of points in our latest survey to 41% (see trends).

Crosstabs are available for Premium Members.

Senator Clinton's effort to shift perceptions of her politics towards
the center have stalled as well. She is viewed as politically liberal
by 47% of voters while 35% see her as politically moderate.

In January 2005, 51% saw Clinton as politically liberal. She moderated
her image in the early part of last year, but the number seeing her as
liberal has not consistently dipped below the 45% range.

Collectively, today's Hillary Meter places Senator Clinton a net 58
points to the left of the nation's political center. Two weeks ago, she
was 56 points to the left of center.

The political center is calculated by subtracting the number of
liberals from the number of conservatives among the general public (35%
conservative, 18% liberal for a net +17). For the Senator, 6%
conservative minus 47% liberal equals a net minus 41. The minus 41
reading for Senator Clinton is 58 points away from the plus 17 reading
for the general public.

Nationally, Clinton remains a polarizing figure--40% of Americans have
a favorable opinion of her while 44% hold an unfavorable view.

The Hillary Meter is a twice monthly measure of Senator Hillary
Clinton's effort to move to the political center. The next update is
scheduled for Wednesday, May 3, 2006. For as long as the former First
Lady is a viable candidate for the White House, Rasmussen Reports will
monitor public perceptions of her political ideology.

Is your boat in the water yet?

Answer:



I am heading out to my boat to start putting the epoxy barrier coats.
Yesterday I prepped the bottom by washing it down with Interlux 202 solvent,
sanding it w/80 grit and washing it down again with the solvent. I need to
put on at least 3 coats of the epoxy. After that I will be putting on a
coat of bottom paint, fixing some boo-boo's with an OEM gelcoat kit, washing
the boat, waxing it, installing a new thermostat and putting it in the
water. I will then still need to install my new helm seat and the new
bimini.

How about you Mule? Is your boat in the water yet?

So? My ratings are down around .0007% as a presidential candidate. Luckily,
I'm not running for that office, and neither is she.

Something to mull over is the Time magazine's article on the best and
worst congress people. Hillary is considered a very bright up and
comer, and is actually well liked by both Republicans and Democrats on
the hill. Bet you won't hear THAT on Fox.

In reality, "smaller" elected officials are more important than the
president. Some policies, especially the stupidest ones, usually begin on a
grassroots level. Think of the ******s who were banning and/or burning books
some years ago. And here in my town, there was a candidate for town
supervisor a few years back who listed himself as the Republican candidate.
In the tiniest print possible on his flyers, it added "Endorsed by the right
to life party". In a town that's largely Republican, the guy got slammed.
Nobody wanted any part of him.

Sorry I've got to miss that little gem! But, I've got a neighbor, real
nice guy, and is fairly adept at a lot of things. Trouble is, he is
just an accident waiting to happen. I call him Hardluck! Everything he
touches turns to ****! He rented a Bobcat (skid steer loader) to do
some leveling in his back yard. I go over there about a half hour
after, and in that amount of time, he managed to dig into the leach
field for his septic tank, which pretty much flooded the yard. In
flooding the yard, Georgia clay turns to mush. The bobcat is buried so
bad that it's almost on it's side....I just laughed. We had a chain
fall hooked to it, and tried everything. He ended up getting a wrecker.
First wrecker, $125, couldn't get near it. Second wrecker $300 was one
used to get semi's out of ravines and stuff!!!!

One of my dreams is to own a Bobcat. I love 'em. One day the church had a
'land clearing' and the guy in charge asked me if I could operate a Bobcat.
(He knew I could operate a chain saw, which was plenty of qualification, I
guess.) Naturally I told him I could!

The rental company delivered the Bobcat, and the man asked if I'd ever

me what the levers and pedals do. What a blast! I spent the next several
hours having a ball with the Bobcat. It was like a fantasy come true!

I'd never heard the term skid-steer either, but a quick google shows that
John Deere calls their imitation Bobcat a 'skid-steer'.

"Skid-Steer" is actually the slang name of the product, regardless of
the mfg.

But then again Logging equipment like the type made by Timberjack Co.
is also called a skid-steer. When it's actually a "Log Skidder" go
figure.

Like it seems everybody calls and adjustable wrench a "Cresent" wrench,
because Cresent Tool came up with the idea, or at least stole
somebody's patent....

A Starter "Bendix" is actually an "Overrunning Clutch Pinion" but
Bendix designed the first one and it's easier to say.

"Vise Grips" for locking pliers. etc etc

you get the picture...

Oh yeah, a "Bulldozer" is actually a large rubber tired bucket loader.
But almost everybody gived that name to a "Crawler tractor" (CAT)

just an accident waiting to happen. I call him Hardluck! Everything he
touches turns to ****! He rented a Bobcat (skid steer loader) to do
some leveling in his back yard. I go over there about a half hour
after, and in that amount of time, he managed to dig into the leach
field for his septic tank, which pretty much flooded the yard. In
flooding the yard, Georgia clay turns to mush. The bobcat is buried so
bad that it's almost on it's side....I just laughed. We had a chain
fall hooked to it, and tried everything. He ended up getting a wrecker.
First wrecker, $125, couldn't get near it. Second wrecker $300 was one
used to get semi's out of ravines and stuff!!!!


One of my dreams is to own a Bobcat. I love 'em. One day the church had a
'land clearing' and the guy in charge asked me if I could operate a
Bobcat.
(He knew I could operate a chain saw, which was plenty of qualification, I
guess.) Naturally I told him I could!

The rental company delivered the Bobcat, and the man asked if I'd ever
operated one. I wasn't dishonest with him, so he spent 10 minutes showing
me what the levers and pedals do. What a blast! I spent the next several
hours having a ball with the Bobcat. It was like a fantasy come true!

I rent a Bobcat. It's a brand name. I once rented a Case skid steer,
but I didn't like it. Since then, I've only rented Bobcats. Also
notice, in my original post I stated that my neighbor rented "a Bobcat
(skid steer loader)". I was correct.

Jimmy,
It looks like you decided that your request for "lively" political
conversation" was not the correct decision. It is nice to see you doing a
good job of netcopping.

Answer:



I am heading out to my boat to start putting the epoxy barrier coats.
Yesterday I prepped the bottom by washing it down with Interlux 202
solvent, sanding it w/80 grit and washing it down again with the solvent.
I need to put on at least 3 coats of the epoxy. After that I will be
putting on a coat of bottom paint, fixing some boo-boo's with an OEM
gelcoat kit, washing the boat, waxing it, installing a new thermostat and
putting it in the water. I will then still need to install my new helm
seat and the new bimini.

How about you Mule? Is your boat in the water yet?

You really are an idiot.

JimH,
Why the name calling? I was agreeing with you that trolling in these waters
with political trolls is not conducive to a NG devoted to boats.

Because you are an idiot who comes here to start trouble. And that is a
fact.

I seriously doubt you even own a boat. I have yet to read any boating
related thread *you* started. I have yet to read anything you wrote about
working on your boat. I seriously doubt you know anything about boats and
would never take any advice you give on them.

You are nothing more than a troll who has changed tactics over the years and
have changed those who you like to start fights with. I am currently on
your list.

So shove it Reggie or whoever you are. You have nothing good to offer here.

Your opinion.

You don't have to own anything, that includes a computer to post here.

Wow! I can't imagin that you would even go there?

Trying to quit.

No!
I could start a list. What's it for?


So shove it Reggie or whoever you are. You have nothing good to offer here.


Who the hell is Reggie? Are you seeing someone else?






What a whiner.


Reginald P. Smithers May 1st 06 11:07 PM

JimH,
That is your opinion, and it might be a valid one, but if you look over your
posts for the past week or so, you are the one who has been going around
picking fights, including this thread. I have no desire to pick a fight
with you or anyone else. My comment about a porta potty was my opinion, and
I did not make any comment about your decision to use a porta potty. I was
agreeing with 2 other posts where they would rather pull into a marina to
allow their wife or anyone else who wanted to use the head to do so.
Why do you think someone having an opposing opinion is someone who is
trying to pick a fight? It looks like you used my innocent comment as
another reason to pick a fight. If you noticed, my comment was only made
after 2 others made similar comments, and I did not disparage you or call
anyone who uses a porta potty a name.

So, if something is going on in your life that has you on edge, so be it,
but don't blame your tantrums on someone else's comment.

Uh, no. The subject was dropped, finis, over. That is, until you needed
to try and start a fight, and to do so, made a big deal out of it.
Pretty shallow, actually.
