Who are these people who sway at the slightest breeze change? I am glad they are finally coming to their senses but their behavior during this war is reason enough to question the concept of “universal suffrage”.

Harry Reid is probably crying in his office right now. Oh no, they don’t think we should surrender!

29 percent is lousy - but what do you expect when the MSM has been giving us “America is Losing” every day.

The L/MSM may actually fear that general Petrouse will make a solid enough statement as to why the surge is producing adequate results, that they will start to ease off a bit.
With the Internet now being a ready source of news and commentary, the main players realize more Americans and Europeans etc., now do not relie on them as their primary news.
They can only hold back so much. And with the really sorry assed displays being brought on by the Demowits both on the hill and the demowit presidential debates, they may fear many Americans may just vote republican this time around.
