1. they better drag out OBL pretty soon

I am sure Rove is doing computer simulations to decide on the best day to announce it.

2. Slippery Slope

I heard on NPR today that 57% still believe that we were right to attack Iraq.

The same poll also reported that 57% did not believe that Bush has a workable exit strategy from the war.

We need a leader who can get us out of the quagmire. Hopefully, once Kerry is elected, he'll stop his pro-occupation talk and revert to the man who asked "Who wants to be the last person to die for a mistake?"

3. bring back the draft, if I have to go thru hell let them go thru hell too

anyone who still supports the quagmire should be willing to send their kid over right now.
make them put their money where their mouth is.

4. 44 percent want troops brought home

. . .but 50% are still content to watch the volunteer army and Iraqi civilians die.

Well, nearly half of Americans know bullshit when they see it. The rest of our sleepwalking TV-watchers couldn't spot bullshit even if it looted their stock portfolio, bankrupted their treasury, doubled their gas prices, cost their nation world support, brought terrorists to Iraq and wasted the lives of our soldiers every day.

Anyone supporting Kerry and opposing this immoral, self-defeating war should remember to pressure the candidate to end his support for it.

6. this must be like water torture for Rove

only this time he in on the receiving end..

7. bush doesn't even have a policy

and that is a big part of the problem. If a reporter asked "Sir er Mr. President, what is your policy in Iraq" - he couldn't tell us. He would just say "they hate freedom"

8. I hope that bastard Rove doesn't sleep at night.

9. I'll buy everything up to the parentheses...

"A majority of Americans, 53 percent, now disapprove of President George W. Bush."

10. If people were actually informed

then Bush would have about a 2% approval rating. Just his ultra rich buddies who stand to gain from his pillaging of America. I don't know how I'm going to make it until the election. I'm already angry most of the time already.

11. Americans may also be angered over the "hired" missionaries.

If I were in the military I would be tick that our
President didn't have faith for the military to do the job.

What a lousy leader!!!

As a tax payer I would be even more ticked not knowing where our money is going.
