Republicans/Bush Sink Lower In Latest Polls

  Here we go with the latest poll numbers on Bush and Iraq. This poll was done by the  Washington Post-ABC News from April 12-15, 2007 by telephone.

 

20. Do you think (the United States must win the war in Iraq in order for the broader war on terrorism to be a success), or do you think (the war on terrorism can be a success without the United States winning the war in Iraq?)

US must win war in Iraq for success: 37%.
Can be a success without US winning war in Iraq: 57%.

   This is in comparison to the same questions asked back in January

US must win war in Iraq for success: 45%. Can be a success without US winning war in Iraq: 47%.

   So it would seem that the Bush/White House propaganda is not working on the citizens of the united States as well as it use to.

2. Do you approve or disapprove of the way Bush is handling (ITEM)?

                 Approve  29%               Disapprove  70%

7. Do you approve or disapprove of the way (ITEM) are doing their job?

a. the Republicans in Congress   Approve 39%    Disapprove 59%

b. the Democrats in Congress     Approve 54%   Disapprove 54%      

     Nice to see the American public finally beginning to see these morons in the White house for what they really are.

The Bush War Funding Rhetoric

Resident Bush:  “The clock is ticking for our troops. Congress’s failure to fund our troops will mean that the readiness of our forces will suffer.”

  This is what Resident Bush said yesterday while he had family members of some of the troops surrounding him.

NYTIMES

With a showdown looming, Mr. Bush has been using the only real ammunition he has: his presidential platform. In a speech to an American Legion Post last Tuesday, he warned that without the new funds, the Army might be forced to delay the formation of new combat brigade teams, a move that he said could require the Pentagon to extend some soldiers’ tours in Iraq and Afghanistan.

But the next day, the Pentagon announced that it already had plans to extend troops tours in a move unrelated to the war financing issue.

   So now the moron is using troop family members for his photo-op's and to hopefully convince the Congress that it is in the U.S. troops best interest to give him the funding that he seeks with no strings attached.

    As the times article above notes, the Pentagon had already planned on the extended troop stay in Iraq anyway so Bush pretty much verified that he is nothing but a liar to begin with.

Senator Jack Reed:  “The status quo that he’s talking about, which is basically, ‘Just give me the money, I’m going to do what I want to do,’ is rejected by an overwhelming number of Americans. They want to see some change.”

   Of course and the military generals and such will now start making public the fact that the military is running out of parts and supplies and a few other things in an attempt to make the Congress look bad.

   The usual Repugnican bullshit so that Bush can stop being a cry-baby. This man ( ? ) is pathetic! Plain and simple! The entire Republican base is pathetic and that is a harsh statement coming from a real former conservative.

       IMPEACH! INDICT! IMPRISON!
