CNN = Communist News Networks polls are always slanted against America.

Don't forget about the 24 hour coverage of the runaway bride.

Grow up America. That which makes you uncomfortable is not necessarily a bad thing. Go read the Washington Post story from this Sunday about the terrorists all converging on Iraq instead of the US. We're killing them there IDIOTS! WOULD YOU RATHER HAVE THEM HERE BLOWING US UP IN OUR STREETS and destroying our economy?? If that happens you might have less money, cars and toys and other mindless distractions and actually have to read some books about how the world really is rather than what CNN tells you to think about it.

All polls are slanted...which is why they are generally totally worthless.

Must be a slow news day over at CNN.

We Americans were polled on November 2nd, 2004. We know what the result was. It has not changed. The polster probably asked who you voted for first. If you said Kerry, you were questioned further about Iraq. This poll, as with most, is bunk.

Uh-huh,.... slanted CNN poll. Wonder how they'd react to this little tidbit that I got in an eamil at work today?

Thought for the day:

If you consider that there has been an average of 160,000 troops in theater in Iraq during the last 22 months that gives a firearms death rate of 60 per 100,000.

The rate in Washington DC is 80.6 per 100,000.

That means that you are more likely to be shot and killed in our Nation's Capital, which has some of the strictest gun control laws in the nation, than you are in Iraq

Conclusion: We should immediately pull out of Washington, D.C.

"Don't forget about the 24 hour coverage of the runaway bride.

I try not to watch the news since the pedophile took over. Peterson coverage about killed me and Stewart was the last straw! ;-)

The CNN poll also found that a majority of Americans believe it was a mistake to declare Independence from Great Britain. "They have a Queen, and crowns are pretty cool," said one respondent. Another added "Their drinking age is lower than ours. That makes them better."

I just got an advanced copy of CNN's poll for next week:

Do you agree that Bush is guilty of war crimes for his killing of so many Iraqi civilians?

Choose one of the two options below:

A. Very strongly agree

B. Strongly agree

I believe this poll is reasonably accurate. The press features every scrap of bad news from Iraq they can find and has been pushing the story for months.

OTOH, these attitudes lag events and basically reflect the intense period when the insurgents were fighting to derail elections and stop the installation of a new government.

People haven't seen the good news of hammering out a new government because the negotiations were behind closed doors. Opinion will turn around as the Iraqis become more effective against the insurgents and the new constitution is hammered out.

Contrary to what CNN thinks, the Commander in Chief thought it was a good idea to invade Iraq.

And Bush lost the election, because the exit polls said so.

Wonder if these same Americans would have given up on the American Civil War? Or WWII.

If we are successful in Iraq, in a decade or two, people will look back on the Iraq war as a turning point of peace in the Middle East. Will it be easy? No.

Is it essential? -- absolutely! No matter what we do, nuclear weapons are almost certain to proliferate in the coming years.

So what IS "worthwhile" to these respondants?

1) Ineffective spending on education ($10,000/student to attain the worst test scores in the nation [WDC])
2) Federal funding to Planned Parenthood, so that our sons and daughters can fully appreciate the lack of consequences for there actions.
etc.

The press is still trying to prove they (ooops, I mean the Democrats) really won the 2004 election with these silly polls. They really are pretty silly.
