New Poll: Bush Support Drops sharply
A new Washington Post-ABC News poll indicates that Bush's support has dropped by nine-points in the past 18 days as concerns regarding Iraq heighten. His approval rating in the Post poll is now at 59% down from 68% just a little over two weeks ago.

http://www.msnbc.com/news/937850.asp?0cv=CA01

For the first time a majority (52%) believe US casulties in Iraq are "unacceptable."

By a 50/46 percent margin a majority believe that Bush misled the country on WMD.

1. Wasn't he in the low 50's before the war?
Not sure how he can reverse the decline this time.

2. Is it a good thing or a bad thing
When his approval rating dips below his IQ?

3. Yup..
And it's pretty apparent that his approval ratings only go over 65% when people are dying in large numbers. With this intelligence scandal, he'll have a much harder time dragging us into another war.

I wonder if Rove is praying for another attack..?

11. that is encouraging
A quarter of the American people not only disapprove of him--but do it strongly.

8. Bushwacka
This is my opinion of him, a poem I wrote. Feel free to copy and distribute as long as I get credit.

Bushwacka

Bushwacka, bushwacka, ra ra ra
Rode right in on the tails of his pa

Bushwacka, bushwacka, what do we see
Thinks he represents the almighty Thee

Bushwacka, bushwacka, anything he wants
Others are irrelevant; can't you hear the taunts

Bushwacka, bushwacka, doesn't care
Drill our land, foul our water and air

Bushwacka, bushwacka, here's the pitch
Cut our programs, but there's money for the rich

Bushwacka, bushwacka, money misspent
Wave the flag and crush dissent

Bushwacka, bushwacka, lies on his lips
Cowboy hat and guns at his hips

Bushwacka, bushwacka, bomb Iraq
Can't find no weapons but don't look back

Bushwacka, bushwacka, what a seat
Sits on the throne with the world beneath his feet

Bushwacka, bushwacka, what a heist.
Do you think he's the AntiChrist?
