Snip...

2. The thing is people are catching on. We've always been wise

to the fact that these guys are lying war criminals.

When faced with such a disasterous fiasco as is the shitstorm in Iraq, all the the truly insane and stupid have to get a clue.

3. 66% also think Illegal Immigration is important

Which is more than than the 50% who think supporting or not supporting Bush is important, and a lot more than the 40% who think party affiliation is important.

Democrats had better wake up on illegal immigration, or they're going to lose the support they otherwise would have had.

Americans want immigration reduced, as seen in every single poll. That's true of Republicans, Democrats, and Independents.
