Holy Crap, A must read: Backing for Bush gone, local veterans say
This is from the Sun-Sentenel in South Florida.... Bush is so screwed!

<Snip>

The televisions at VFW Post 2500 in Hollywood were tuned to President Bush on Tuesday, but his words weren't getting rapt attention.

About 30 people were around the bar drinking, chatting, smoking as the president talked. "Does it have to be so loud?" asked Barbara Flint as she sat next to Jerry Giblock, a visiting Vietnam veteran.

"He's running scared," said Giblock, 63, a former Post 2500 member who lives in Anchorage, Ala. "His poll numbers are so low, he's got to say something, but the support is gone. It's gone. I don't think there's anybody in here who's behind him."

5. Last year
some of my friends who served in Vietnam told me they did not support Kerry, for a variety of reasons. However, as the November election came closer, I found that they were coming out strongly against Bush. It wasn't that they supported Kerry; but they knew that the Bush administration was sending young soldiers to a terrible war for no good reason.

6. Two local businesses I frequent have stopped Fox News
Used to be on all the time, without fail. The Fox bug was burned into the phospors. But no more. Both have opted to let their teevees go silent, after over two years of constant Bush-trumpeting. Hmmm.
