The persistence of violence in Iraq has done grave damage to George W. Bush's job rating, and polls show that his fellow Republicans are in trouble. Yet when people actually vote, those numbers don't seem to translate into gains for the Democrats.

Could it be that Americans know there's more to the Iraq picture than "the persistence of violence" reported by the drive-by media? Could it be that the polls are manufactured by that same media in order to have something to talk about? Could it be that the American people's spines are a lot stronger than the whiners in the media and the democrat party give them credit for? Could it be that the media and the dems are perpetually astonished when they, and only they, believe their own advertising?

The phrase 'Don't Believe The Hype' comes to mind when it comes to the MSM constant stories about our demise and impending Dem supremacy.

"... the polls are manufactured by that same media ..."


You are so correct! The pollsters have been using 11-14% more democrats in their polls. I guess when you do that you can get any answer you want.

Plus, the pollsters use "adults" - which means they may not vote, or may not even be registered to vote, or maybe they are not even citizens.

The whole time the drive-by media was saying Bush's numbers were below 35% - Rasmussen still had the President at 43%. I found that extremely interesting.

It's too bad this wasn't a different era.

The whole Democrat party would be hanging in the public square for treason.
