WASHINGTON - In a June 15 story about the search for weapons of mass destruction in Iraq (news - web sites), The Associated Press reported erroneously that two-thirds of Americans said the administration exaggerated the weapons threat. The poll by CBS News found that 44 percent of Americans believe the administration overestimated the extent of Iraq's weapons stores, and that two-thirds of those people felt the administration exaggerated the threat from those weapons.

So 29% believe Bush is a liar. That sounds about right. If Christ returned to earth and endorsed him 30% would still vote against him for being a Republican.

The same 30% would probably disagree with Christ as well.

Dang, you beat me to it.

I believe that is the same 30% that always disagrees with anything remotely associated with Bush, right?

The only TV news this will be reported on is Brit Hume.

The Clintoons lied left and right and they say nothing but he is one of the best presidents ever. Now they are accusing Bush of possibly (they have not a shred of evidence) exaggerating? To what horrors we have come to see.

Right. But that's our country anyhow: 1/3 staunchly conservative, 1/3 staunchly liberal, 1/3 somewhere in the middle. It's been that way thru history.
