When it comes to National Security, Democrats are now trusted more by 42% of likely voters, Republicans by 40%. This means that Democrats now enjoy at least a nominal edge on all ten issues regularly tracked by Rasmussen Reports to gauge voters' trust of the two major parties. In late June Democrats had the edge on nine of ten issues. At that time, the GOP had a single point advantage of the National Security issue.

Republicans had enjoyed an historic advantage on National Security for several decades but are burdened by the unpopular War in Iraq. Last year's Dubai Ports debacle also hurt perceptions of the GOP on national security.

The Democrats have also gained a little ground this month when it comes to the War in Iraq. Harry Reid's party moved from a ten-point advantage in late June to a twelve-point lead of 47% to 35% in the new survey.

3. It only took America 27 years to realize that the Republicans are a bunch of punk-ass bitches

that only serve elite interests.

10. What? You don't go back to Nixon in '68???

Yes, I know the excrement only really started hitting
the ventilator with Reagan in '80, but still...

4. It seems we're doing something right

although you'd never know it from reading DU.:P

[whistle]

5. ReThugs are in meltdown mode...just wait until KKKarl Rove, Harriet Meir and

...John Boulten get grilled by congress. Regardless of what comes out of their mouths, it will impact all republicans negatively and Shrub's* approval will fall even further down, while Dick Cheney may actually resign. There should be no recess of congress during August and this whole Iraq War, AG firings, impeachment needs to all be brought to a head. Otherwise crisis will be the order of the day, every day, all month long!

7. I really really want to see shrub break down and lose it on camera

so we can at least remove him for mental instability... it's better than nothing!

[AwakeAtLast]

14. I think we are very close to seeing that happen

It will be an off-the-cuff, non-scripted moment. And it will be GLORIOUS!!! :D

[whistle]

17. Only if some of the reporters begin to really ask the difficult questions

...and press for answers

9. Kick.

11. So let's be sure not to DO ANYTHING in case people change their minds

If we enforce the law or cut off funding for the war, The People might no longer like us. So we should just get a trophy for the mantle or something, and sit tight intil 100% of The People come around to our side.

15. Kick and Recommend

The Dems are doing things that are getting into the M$M and more people are hearing/seeing what is wrong.

Yes, good things are being done... and I say that after having been one of their worst critics...
