[Leroy S. Mort]

a new survey released by Euro RSCG Worldwide, an international advertising group

It's a bloody quagmire. Assume fetal position.....always take your lead from "advertising groups". Bleeechhh.

Dumb, I got no jitters and no self doubt. In fact I hope some al kaida turd tries something near me, I will vent my fury on him with such brutality there wont be anything left of him but a red smear.

[Timesink]

Asked if they agree with the statement, "I support President Bush's decision to attack Iraq as an 'axis of evil' nation", almost a quarter disagreed.

A 75% approval rating on ANYTHING a president does in the United States is a grand slam home run.

Welcome to another edition of Screen Names that Work! You've already met our champion, now it's time to meet our challenger....

[Noumenon]

So who'd they interview? Bluezone metrosexuals? Liberal girlyman bedwetters?

[Petronski]

And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you.

[baltodog]

As for me, I'm aware, not afraid.
Do I support our actions in Iraq? Of course.
Regardless of how much time or money it costs? Asolutely.

Would I support an attack on any "axis of evil" nation? Well, I think a person has to be a total freakin' idiot not to know where terrorism starts.
Isreal knows it. EVERY ARAB COUNTRY KNOWS IT. Most of the modern world, including America, knows it.

Bring the terrorist countries down...on my dime.
If we don't do it, our kids will have to.

Who do they think they're kidding, I haven't burned
this many caps in years, my breath is good, my squeeze is
smooth and I have CONFIDENCE that I'm hitting in the BLACK.

My diesel truck is fully fueled and the pantry is stocked,
my gunsafe is overflowing, and while the ammo locker is
not, at least that never seems to be enough no matter what.

I'm armed and dangerous 24/7, I look around, I'm aware, got an exit strategery on the move.

I'm on the net, on TOP of the breaking news, I follow foreign events and domestic affairs, got that tetanus
booster, got the passport locked in the gunsafe.

And I KNOW I'm NOT the only one.

We are cowboys, like our president, and our first reaction was go get the evil ones. Now, two years later, we are starting to ask, what caused it,

Iv'e read endless analyses of "what caused it" starting from 9/12. Maybe she reads lefty rags where they know, but don't want to admit it.

[Savage Beast]

"a country that remains unsure of its own future, jittery about the terrorists striking again and worried at the same time about its economy."

In your anti-American dreams!

You fools are polling the "Liberal" enclaves of America--the confused, decadent, anti-American, jittery, unsure, worried "Liberal" enclaves.

Try polling the American Heartland!There you will find ascendancy--and confidence, courage, and strategic and moral clarity!

Now stick your heads back in the sand while we leave you behind in the dust.

Fools!

From the article: "We are cowboys, like our president, and our first reaction was go get the evil ones. Now, two years later, we are starting to ask, what caused it, how did it happen, how come we didn't know in advance.

Here's how it happened: ~~ During the 1990s we did nothing to stop the evil ones; the Clinton administration empowered them.

But, times have changed. And because an angel still directs this whirlwind, the evil ones will be hunted down and stopped.

I guess someday the civilized world will thank God for the American "cowboy". (Even if it's only in the words they whisper when alone.)

"Anxiety" was Robert Reissssssshs's trademark comment.

They're ba-ack!

Well the only thing making me quiver and shiver and anxious is the sight of the dems, who hate this country, working day and nite to undermine our power and position. And knowing there are many fools who will follow them lock step off the edge of the world like lemmings. That makes me fear for this country.

Jitters- only in America eh? Well take that with a pinch of salt. Liberal spouse and I had some fun on Friday. Went down to picturesque St Ignace, Michigan for the day. Many memories of our first married years.

Coming back to Canada, we were cut off by Sault Ste Marie, Michigans finest. No crossing the bridge. At at nearby rest stop and park (beautifully kept, clean washrooms) we chatted. Some one claimed the bridge had a bomb concealed on it. To cut a long story short- a hoax. Two hours wait.

Sunday night in Canada, we heard a number of kabooms, bang, splatter,bright lights at dusk. Friends, with a safely returning son from Bagdad- US military man and dual citizen, had told us of a big welcome for the returning troops. (1437th National Guard Engineering Company ). across the river.

Point of this little homily?. Canadian newspaper locally indicated some of our worthy burghers blew a gasket. They were not told. Thought it was ahem, more 'orror. Ah, yes three Canadian marching bands did their stuff over there, for the welcome. Loved it myself, fireworks and all. Old stuff though.

"Ah, Vladimir. Our plan, it is coming along nicely ..."

[blam]

"And I KNOW I'm NOT the only one."

Amen. (we won't need the passports.)

[sarasmom]

Wow, is this so off base.(surprise)
These are the type of people who can not understand that the dumb,unsophisticated people of the USA, you know, us stupid megapower types, are just barely being reigned in by a ruthless,stubborn cowboy.
Rather (pun unintentional but apt) than applaud GWB, they attempt to castigate him.
Sure, they have their grip on the pulse of the USA!
ROTFLMAO!
Did they get paid for this poll?And this editorial?

[John Valentine]

Jouurnalists talk to other journalists and conjure up a reality that is miles from the mark.

Although it is an exercise in madness to read the endless negative Iraq coverage that spews from the American and British press and listen to it on television, there is some sort of perverse entertainment quality to it.

The worry is that there are apparently people who are giving in to it, and losing their resolve.

Is there nothing that can be done about that poisonous little Couric woman?
