"...solidly behind the President's plan, as you claim, in "poll after poll," "

You didn't read right. I said poll after poll fails to show strong opposition to Bush's plan. Of course questions *can* be asked in a way that prompts a particular response, but one must offer evidence that that actually occured.

And, note that I never claimed that *every* poll backed Bush. At least one recent poll showed majority support for building a fence. So, you see, if you're going to claim polling bias, to be consistent you'd also have to attack the polls you like.

Apparently, it is you who must be having difficulty reading. I said "if America was solidly behind the President's plan, as you claim, in "poll after poll," Hitlery and Dean would have kept their mouths shut." That is a logical response to your comment that "poll after poll fails to show strong opposition to Bush's plan." If "poll after poll" was favorable toward the President's plan, if the majority of Americans were pro-OBL like you, Hitlery and Dean wouldn't have dared to appeal to those who want a more conservative approach. They both go wherever the wind is blowing.

note that I never claimed that *every* poll backed Bush. At least one recent poll showed majority support for building a fence. So, you see, if you're going to claim polling bias, to be consistent you'd also have to attack the polls you like. Nice try. But I didn't say "every" nor did I indicate you had. But, now that you bring it up, your choice of words ("poll after poll" and "at least one") is indicative of your own bias. And I am consistently against media bias, as is consistently displayed with CNN, cBS, and the other alphabet channels. That you suggest they have miraculously changed their stripes is....dishonest.
