WASHINGTON -- By a margin of almost 2-to-1, likely Florida voters feel strongly that Congress and President Bush should have stayed out of the battle over Terri Schiavo's fate, according to a new poll conducted this week for the South Florida Sun-Sentinel and Florida Times-Union.

Poll after poll after poll show that the GOP is reading the tea leaves wrong. The Democrates are mum, while the Pubs commit fratricide.

The media snowjob is working.

Freepers will say they are all lying. It's a conspiracy. LOL

As someone else said "From Buckhead to this in six months. It's been quite a freefall."

"The media snowjob is working."

Or the people don't want the Feds interfering. Assuming that everyone agrees with your position is flawed logic.

Listening to Pat B on MSNBC- discussing these polls.

[PatriotGirl827]

Umm...don't know much about the Florida Times Union, but the South Florida Sun-Sentinel is a liberal rag. Those poll results are expected.

[BigSkyFreeper]

Disagree.

[Drango]

Among Republicans, 56 percent disapproved of the intervention and 41 percent approved. Among Democrats and independents disapproval rates were 67 and 68 percent, respectively.

FR marches to a drummer that no one else can hear...

I'm sure a lot more oppose the government confiscating wages, but the gubmint does it ANYWAY. . .

Why would the Dems have to say anything?

The GOP is effectively ripping itself apart over this issue.....

I wonder what the poll results were in Nazi-era Germany?

[SE Mom]

Ok- call Henny Penny- Julian Epstein and Pat Buchannan are on national tv (MSNBC) and are in AGREEMENT on 95% of the topic...

The media snowjob is working.

W and Jeb have allowed the MSM to misrepresent the issue. They seem to be suffering from political laryngitis

[B Knotts]

Exactly.

[HiTech RedNeck]

I say media snowjob. Unless the pollees are told the grody details about Terri, they only have a sanitized picture of it.

[gitmo]

This is exactly why Democracy is to be feared. Thank God this is a Constitutional Representative Republic. A little broken, as evidenced by this case, but by and large our individual rights are still preserved.

[thoughtomator]

I'm not so sure about that, after reading the Sun-Sentinel's whitewash yesterday.

[B Knotts]

What is their opinion?

[MikefromOhio]

yeah but the day Pat Buchanan represents 95% of the GOP I think I may not vote anymore :-)
