    I think the same percentage of people approved of Nixon even as he got on the helicopter to fly away, an absolute disgrace. It’s probably the exact same people in some instances, certainly the exact same type of people…

    W probably had similar numbers, and was why his supporters were given the “out” of the astroturfed and completely fake, teabagger movement. The “Tea Party” doesn’t exist any more than the “Democrat (sic) Party” does.

    I don’t know if Taco will go out with similar numbers, but I think something will be done in the aftermath to give these people an out. In the aftermath of Nixon there was no real “out” for the voter, but the rabid right wing set to work on building Bullshit Mountain so that they’d never have to worry about a mainstream media telling their voters something they didn’t want to hear…
