22% Believe Bush Knew About 9/11 Attacks in Advance

Friday, May 04, 2007

Democrats in America are evenly divided on the question of whether George W. Bush knew about the 9/11 terrorist attacks in advance. Thirty-five percent (35%) of Democrats believe he did know, 39% say he did not know, and 26% are not sure.

Republicans reject that view and, by a 7-to-1 margin, say the President did not know in advance about the attacks. Among those not affiliated with either major party, 18% believe the President knew and 57% take the opposite view.

Overall, 22% of all voters believe the President knew about the attacks in advance. A slightly larger number, 29%, believe the CIA knew about the attacks in advance. White Americans are less likely than others to believe that either the President or the CIA knew about the attacks in advance. Americans are more likely than their elders to believe the President or the CIA knew about the attacks in advance.

However, just 8% of voters say the CIA was Very Truthful before the War in Iraq. Another 33% believe the CIA was Somewhat Truthful. Most, 52%, believe the CIA was Not Very Truthful or Not at All Truthful before the War.

Still, 57% have a favorable opinion of the CIA. Thirty-six percent (36%) have an unfavorable view.

Former CIA Director George Tenet doesn’t fare so well. He is viewed favorably by 29% of voters and unfavorably by 49%.

Just 12% have followed news stories about Tenet’s new book Very Closely. Another 29% have followed the stories Somewhat Closely. Fifty-six percent (56%) have not been following the news stories about Tenet.

Our democracy is teetering on the edge of a precipice. I wonder if it has always been so?

Polls are to mainstream media, what overseas email business propositions are to everybody else.

It’s just that mainstream media takes theirs seriously and think they know something everybody else does not.

But how else would you keep out the mosquitos?

The fellow that conjured up this poll is mulling that very question as he sits on the ground floor of his two story outhouse.

Should have polled for how many believe that fire cannot melt steel. Just for contrast.

That’s pretty damn close to the percentage of folks who think Weird Al Gore is a “global warming” expert.

That would be a great cross-check on the retard count.

"No!! Bush did it for TEH HALLIBURTON!!!"

They think Rosie O’Donnell is a talk show host because she decided brain surgery was boring.

Actually, because it was too boring, Rosie did forgo the career as a Chemical Engineer in the Steel Industry.

22% have multiple cell phones, tattoos on their necks, receive government handouts, rent their properties, park their vehicles in their front yards, cars are low riders or have spoilers or fancy wheel coverings, have dogs chained up without shade, kids do not have decent clothing, smoke cigarettes, and hold grudges against those that have real jobs. Miss anything?

The left end of the Bell Curve?

Many of these liberals who claim 9-11 was an “inside job” also think one of their heros, FDR, knew or helped plan Pearl Harbor back in 1941.

Very sad to say, I believe the wacko liberal indoctrination of our children through school, entertainment, and "journalism" is taking hold significantly, in what is now a voting age populace up through the "Generation X" level.

At least 78% are thinking clearly...Not quite true since around 1/4 were "Not Sure". Thus, you have around 40% either believing Bush knew about 9/11 in advance or still entertaining the possibility that he could know.

Per the article, over 60% of all democrats believe "Bush knew" or it is possible he could have known in advance. My question is to the other 39% or democrats who don't believe Bush knew, "WTH is wrong with your party and why do you stay grouped with these insane people?"

“White Americans are less likely than others to believe that either the President or the CIA knew about the attacks in advance. (Young?) Americans are more likely than their elders to believe the President or the CIA knew about the attacks in advance.”

As if all this is shocking and unexpected.....

Bingo.

Goebels was pretty smart. Unfortunately, he’s correct.

Amazing how people can be brainwashed - and in this case, just by “subtlety” of the MSM and professors, etc.
