USA Today Gallup Poll: Clinton Trusted More than Bush

[Zynx]

<Snip>
When asked in the new poll if they trust Bush more than they had Clinton, 48 percent of respondents said they trusted Bush less, while 36 percent said they trusted him more and 15 percent said they trusted Bush the same as Clinton.

Also, there are other important findings other than his 37% approval rating and generally other poor ratings.

56% of voters said they would be likely to vote against a candidate Bush supports! This is very important. Tie every candidate we run against to Bush since most have voted for 90%+ what Bush has supported and we will pick up seats and lots of them.

46% say that they would prefer a Democratic Congress compared to 34% who say a Republican Congress.

Only 9% say their first choice of candidate would be a Republican who has supported Bush on every issue.

25. Dignitude!

:D

[stopbush]

2. Patriotic Americans don't read newspapers! They watch Fox!

So all of the people they polled are traitors.

[Zynx]

3. Not just traitors, but COMMUNISTS! All treasonous communists!

lol

[JJackFlash]

20. No, only 38% of FOX viewers

think Chimp's doing a good job!
That's bad.

4. Misunderestimate him now, pay for it in 12 months

Bush is on the rebound, getting coverage everywhere by blaming Democrats for the war because they had the same intelligence he had. That message sounds like it'll work because no one is giving the correct response.

Here it is: Mr. Bush, if the intelligence said Iraq was so dangerous, why didn't you send enough troops to win the war?

It's time to give up the arguments about intelligence, now that Bush has come up with an answer. Shift the attack elsewhere.

[Oceansaway]

9. I agree with your logic...think it can catch on ?

[dargondogon]

14. Logical people misunderestimate Bush

No I don't think it will catch on. We're going to argue on Bush's turf now, the land where logic does not prevail.
1. He says he gave intel to Dems, now they're paying politics.
2. Dems say they didn't have all the intel, and Bush is lying.
3. Bush spokespeople say of course he withheld intel, otherwise the Dems would have played politics with it or leaked it or something.
4. Bush then says, well, they had everything they needed to make a decision. Game, set, match to Bush.

Of course the arguments from Bush are contradictory. That's standard.

The intel topic is over. Dems need something new they can hammer Bush with for a couple weeks until he figures out how to twist that issue's logic, then they'll need another issue and another and another and another.

And Bush himself brought up his conduct of the war in Alaska today. Dems just say, yes, Mr. Bush persuaded me that Saddam was a WMD threat. I voted for him to send a robust military force to Iraq to quickly secure these dangerous weapons. But now we're facing conventional weapons that our soldiers could not secure because Bush ignored his generals' requests for adequate troops. We need hearings on Bush's incompetent conduct of this war, the worst U.S. performance since Vietnam.

Money for Nothing

... "The 15-month proconsulship of the CPA disbursed nearly $20 billion, two-thirds of it in cash"...

... "Most of the money was flown into Iraq on C-130s in huge plastic shrink-wrapped pallets holding 40 "cashpaks," each cashpak having $1.6 million in $100 bills. Twelve billion dollars moved that way between May 2003 and June 2004, drawn from accounts administered by the New York Federal Reserve Bank. The $100 bills weighed an estimated 363 tons." ...

... "There was also considerable money "off the books," including as much as $4 billion from illegal oil exports." ...

... "the country was awash in unaccountable money. British sources report that the CPA contracts that were not handed out to cronies were sold to the highest bidder, with bribes as high as $300,000" ...

... "The contracts were especially attractive because no work or results were necessarily expected in return. It became popular to cancel contracts without penalty, claiming that security costs were making it too difficult to do the work. A $500 million power-plant contract was reportedly awarded to a bidder based on a proposal one page long. After a joint commission rejected the proposal, its members were replaced by the minister, and approval was duly obtained. But no plant has been built." ...

... "Paul Bremer, meanwhile, had a slush fund in cash of more than $600 million in his office for which there was no paperwork. One U.S. contractor received $2 million in a duffel bag. Three-quarters of a million dollars was stolen from an office safe, and a U.S. official was given $7 million in cash in the waning days of the CPA and told to spend it "before the Iraqis take over." Nearly $5 billion was shipped from New York in the last month of the CPA. Sources suggest that a deliberate attempt was being made to run down the balance and spend the money while the CPA still had authority and before an Iraqi government could be formed." ...

~ and on, and on, the "list" of CRIMES seems to run endlessly ~

Who'S DEMANDING ACCOUNTABILITY FOR ALL THESE robberies? The IRS??

[LiberalinNC]

6. To quote the wh "We don't pay attention to polls, and they have no affect

on policies". LMAO! W/ his new polls ratings down to 37% looks like people don't care a bj but do care about lying and killing people.

[Zynx]

10. They make bad policy and people know it.

People finally caught on that the Bush agenda is BS and now Bush is paying the price.

8. Wow! That has got to sting!

Bill Clinton is trusted by more people than Shrub by a 4 to 3 margin!
:wow: :rofl: :rofl:

And from Gallup no less.
The Freeps are going to go insane!

[AX10]

11. KICK

:bounce:

[Orangepeel]

12. great numbers, but, as a caution, generic polls don't reflect districting

Florida, for example, is so gerrymandered in favor of the repbublicans, that we'll end up with a republican congressional district no matter what.

[cantstandbush]

13. This will surely throw Bush over the edge. Be ready for anything! n/t

[DeepModem Mom]

15. Hello, MSM -- please note this. nt

[Gman]

18. Looks like a really great way to sell newspapers, tell the truth about

Bush. The polls (market research) says it's ok and probably will sell well. It's good for shareholder wealth. So why don't they do it? Because they've made a pact with the devil and they can't get out of it now.

[opihimoimoi]

16. Nom'd, need one more

This is so revealing of Bushies poor and smelly charactor its worth spreading....

[Mr_Spock]

17. Of course Clinton is more trustworthy.

This is the "hypocrisy presidency"

[USA_1]

19. So What happened To Bush's "Political Capitol"?

He said that he intended to spend it because he had an imagined mandate. Well, where the hell is that mandate now?

[JJackFlash]

21. I heard an MSNBC talking head spit out the figures

like she couldn't freaking believe it:

"Most of those polled think DEMOCRATS are more ETHICAL!"
"Most of those polled trust DEMOCRATS more with foreign policy!"

[progressoid]

22. DOH! It's gotta hurt to be in the GOP!

[npincus]

24. Blowjobs beat Body Bags anyday

[demo dutch]

26. Love that!!!
