The bushies aren't fooling anyone. Houston has a lot of repukes, so I thought it would reflect that....boy was I wrong!:-)

1. using the word

intelligence in the same sentence as Bush* should be grounds for banishment.

Just kidding.

[lolly]

2. Everybody's doin' it!

Seems like every news site has the same poll--or a variation thereof--on tonight.

If the results are bad for AWOL, is their coverage going to reflect that?

3. Office of Special Plans

And how many of those taking the poll, do you think, were aware of Bush's "Office of Special Plans"?

4. Totally wrong about Houston. It is an enormous place with great diversity

and some great liberals.

6. Thank you for defending my home town. (But we really are Pug central)

5. No

He was completely devoid of intelligence.

[Ready4Change]

7. Needs "None of the Above" choice

My answer would be that Bush was misled by Rove/Cheney/Rumsfeld. All four of them misused their offices, lied to the American people and the world, and set the USA on a course which broke international law and fouly blemished our reputation.

8. He wasn't misled. He's ignorant but not stupid.

Don't give him a free pass. He knows what's going on.

9. bush was wrongly informed by the intelligence agencies

who were instructed by dick cheney to wrongly inform the president. How dare the intelligence agencies is all I have to say..
