63% of Republican voters believe that Bush is a fuckup
Poll Shows Republicans Don't Trust Bush

With all of the sturm and drang (that's Joe Lieberman talk for hand wringing) over Iraq as some sort of twisted Achilles heel for the Democrats, we now have news that even Republicans don't trust their own party to tell them the truth about Iraq or to ask the right questions about it. In a poll conducted 2-3 August by Courage Campaign and MyDD.com following up on research we did last month to find out just why Francine Busby lost in the 50th Congressional District in California, we learned the following.

1. 63% of Republican voters believe that Bush has made some or a lot of mistaks in Iraq and fully 24% believe he has made "a lot of mistakes" in Iraq . (Makes you kind of wonder who the rest are.)

2. One third of Republicans think Bush has not told the truth about Iraq and should be held accountable for what he has done there.

3. Interestingly, nearly a half (48%) believes that the Democratic Party will hold Bush accountable for what he has done in Iraq, versus only 19% who believe that the Republicans will do so.

1. Ah, but the voting machines still believe in the Republicans
After all, it's what they say that counts. Disregard the people standing in line.

They are just props for freedom.

13. I wouldn't rely to much on this survey myself.
Seriously, any survery that is done by a biased organization is really not that useful.

Its good for entertainment, but thats about it.

14. It's better to use the Laugh-In days terminology "Farkel Up"
when discussing this in Red states. I know, I know, Old English agricultural terminology and maladicta etc. etc. But we're trying to win friends and influence people, particularly of evangelical and Republican backgrounds, so IMHO, let's use FARKEL UP as the new lingo, eh ?
