1. Do I think he is a leader? NO
Do I think I can trust him?

FUCK NO.

And what the hell is that? Have doubts?

Bullshit.

How about a flat-out NO?

4. Fascinating...
...by the time of the elections, a slightly fresh corpse will be able to beat him...and not too long ago he was the unassailable, unbeatable uberking. simply astonishing.

5. A Loaded Question, eh?
Yes I can trust him to go through with whatever hair-brained schemes cross his atrophied brain...like he said on MTP "I don't change"...

Damn the facts, torpedoes ahead! He WILL go through with whatever he decides to do...logic and reasoned advice to the contrary be damned!

In that way he CAN be trusted....

I like the analogy that he thinks he's piloting the USS Titanic!

6. That 'not sure'
group is consistant. Guess it isn't a choice 4 democrats.

A simple 'no' would have been appreciated - have doubts??? that's an understatement.

7. 82% is amazing for ANY poll!

It says 82% of Dems don’t trust him, which of course is good that Dems are smart enough to see through the lies.

This is unheard of for a political poll.. Its damn near impossible to get 82% of a group of people to agree on ANYTHING.

Add to that a strong 61% of Independents, and almost a quarter of his OWN party don’t trust him.

And just think, that poll was before all the AWOL lies and stone-walling hit the mainstream news. Whew!

The Monkey is in big BIG trouble!

8. I think the underlying question,
once the '04 campaign gets off the ground "OFFICIALLY" (we have a Dem candidate) - the underlying question will be...

who do you trust?

9. Yes and they have not started. The GOP that is, and the Dem
have been at each other pretty hard now for months. There may be a small hole in that bubble Bush lives in as it is odd he is out on TV. It has always been clean up what he speaks before, if he is let out.Now lets see if Baker helps him more, he is also out there and he has always bailed out the father is trouble and worked for son before.The WH must think Bush can help him self if they send him out. I am not so sure. So far it has not worked but for the people who were going to vote for him anyway, his base.

12. But wasn't he at 90 % with republicans before?
If so, then this is a sizeable decline.

11. Widen The Credibility Gap - Force * To Assume Responsibility
These polls are starting to show that there's a distrust (and always has been) of this boy's ability to take responsibility for his actions. It's obvious there's a "do as I say, not as I do" attitude in this regime that is being picked up by many. For 3 years, many gave this regime a pass (too new, 9/11, Iraq War...etc), but now people are taking a closer look and seeing how things aren't better...and in many cases worse.

We have to keep questioning...put it to this regime to take responsibility and explain their actions. To question their supporters and expose their hypocrisies. You can see how much bunnypants is quirming just coming clean about his military past...something that could easily be ended with pay and other discharge forms...not dental records.

This regime has over-reached...now let's keep them out on that limb.

13. So 77% of Republicans believe GWB is a leader they can trust
notwithstanding what has happened: are they not in the least intrigued by the events surrounding 9-11, pre-emptive war, the whole garbanzo? Guess not.

16. Those are Zell Miller Democrats
People who say they are Democrats because their Mamma and Daddy were Democrats. They don't understand what the ideology of the party is, but they still label themselves as such.
