Poll on Iraq War: Does Not Compute
Quinnipiac University Poll. Dec. 7-12, 2004. N=1,529 registered voters nationwide. MoE ± 2.5.

"Do you approve or disapprove of the way George W. Bush is handling the situation with Iraq?"

12/7-12/04
Approve 41%
Disapprove 55$
Unsure 4%

"Do you think going to war with Iraq was the right thing for the United States to do or the wrong thing?"

12/7-12/04
Right 42%
Wrong 52%
Unsure 6%

How the hell could this guy have possibly won the election? Does Not compute!

2. The American people disagree with Bush on most issues
war, economy, health care, etc.

The voted AGAINST Kerry, not FOR Bush.

3. Afraid so...and he's continuing to lose my confidence...
that he actually means what he says. Look at the ongoing, "we will count all the votes" rhetoric coupled with the lack of any real effort in that regard.

4. those who voted on this issue voted for Kerry
those who had iraq as a concern voted for Kerry.

but there were some (mostly white women) who got scared because of the fear mongering stuff towards the end with the hyped up terror warnings, the bin laden video, russian school hostage thing. they voted for whoever they viewed to be the most hawkish.

another thing is the media doesn't report things like the iraq missing explosives story in a way to hold bush accountable so they didn't blame bush for it. they just got scared and voted for whoever is more for war or tougher on defense.

5. Dems are gonna get bullied
Dems are gonna get bullied until Dems understand that force is
the only thing that Neo-Cons will understand. 

It's gonna take a lot of Neo-Cons going to jail, or some
serious sanctions by the US of Europe, or possibly even a war
for them to understand that their anti-intelectual religious
clap-trap is not going to be tolerated by the rest of the
world. 

I am considering asking the UN for assistance because I feel
persecuted by my government and it's pseudo elections.
