[leftyladyfrommo]

And this is actually on MSNBC.

Good news for us. Sucks to be them.

1. If they keep "busting terrorist plots" between now and Nov. this guy may

be right:

"Republican consultant Kevin Spillane said August polls typically have been filled with bad news for Bush and the GOP, but they eventually turn it around in November."


The scumbags wil stop at nothing to stay in power. :mad: :mad:

[leftyladyfrommo]

16. There certainly is that. I just hope people see thru it. n/t

[PegDAC]

28. The people

are getting tired of the Bushists crying "wolf" every time we turn around. At least I am.

3. Back to just the backwash

Good news.

[Supersedeas]

36. do not underestimate the power of ignorance composing this backwash

[Mr_Spock]

39. Believe me, they're called backwash for a reason

Anyone who would support * has to be an utter moron idiot fool, but knowing that 25% of this country is that, there is little that can be done except support education for all people.

[Westy]

4. One can only hope

One can only hope that this is a sign that the US citizenry is finally waking up to the fact that Bush & Co have done more damage to this country than any group of terrorists could manage. It's important that we spread the word that the latest terrorist plot was not stopped by any US agency but by agencies in Pakistan and the UK, and that it is indicative that the illegal war in Iraq has diverted resources away from protecting this country from terrorists. The Republican controlled media will obscure the truth but we can do our best to spread it ourselves.

5. Welcome to DU Westy

Good points. The UK also stopped it using (gasp) Law Enforcement, and not by illegally invading a nearly hapless country.

[PegDAC]

29. Perish the thought!! n/t

[charlyvi]

6. Agreed Westy.

And Welcome to DU!
:toast:

[newyawker99]

18. Hi Westy!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[Imagevision]

22. Ha! Bush should go and give Santorum a big smooch...

[bookman]

25. And...

..it was stopped by intelligence and police. Not by an military action.


Welcome to DU!

[2QT2BSTR8]

27. Welcome to DU Westy!

34. Hi!

Welcome to DU! :hi:

7. Anyone read this part, and do you think it's true?

"It's a good year to be running against an incumbent," said Republican David McSweeney, an investment banker looking to unseat first-term Democratic Rep. Melissa Bean in the Chicago suburbs.

"Approval ratings for Congress are below where the president is," said Jeff Lamberti, a Republican taking on five-term Iowa Rep. Leonard Boswell. "It's a real opportunity for a challenger."

Who's more in trouble, incumbents or Republicans? The above quotes seem pretty desperate if you ask me. Democrats have not had power and everyone knows this. People are upset with Bush and the Republican controlled Congress, not just incumbents. I would think a first term Democrat would even be more safe.

[senseandsensibility]

12. It's not true

Just typical repug spin and willful ignorance.

[Deep13]

8. Was this poll before or after that British terror plot thing?

Can't really understand why Dubya would spike in the polls after it is demonstrated that Al Qeada is still capable of hijaking planes five years later and that this plot was foiled not by Dubya's domestic spying, but by British police.

[timontheleft]

11. That is a point that we need to keep bringing up . . .

again and again and again and again . . .

The War (Occupation) on (in) Terror (Iraq) did nothing to stop terrorists from organizing and planning an attack.

It also had absolutely nothing to do with stopping the attack before it occurred.

:dem:

[Fly by night]

9. Add 19% disaffected Chimp supporters to the millions of stolen votes...

... in 2004 and we're going to hand the Rethuglicans their balls in a gunny sack in 2006. That is, if the states that still have secure elections can keep them that way and the states with "faith-based" voting can generate such a pre-election groundswell of support for Democrats that another stolen election will turn us all into Mexicans (not a bad thing for democracy's sake, by the way.)

[Clark2008]

10. As a Southern woman, this sentence made me smile:

In the South, Bush's approval ratings dropped from 43 percent last month to 34 percent as the GOP advantage with Southern women disappeared.

Yeee-haw! :7

[Donkeykick]

13. Man I hope this keeps up!

Got to see Democrats win in 06+08!:headbang:

[mconvente]

15. i'm looking forward to it too my man! n/t

[Demeter]

14. Lieberman Was the First Domino

and when the J Q. Voter saw that change was possible, Change finally happened.

[nevergiveup]

17. You make a good point, Demeter

Democrat politicians have finally located their balls and the public is ready to listen. It is now acceptable to be anti-war. Good things happened this week.

[MoonRiver]

19. Gotta K&R this excellent news!!

:kick::toast::kick::toast::kick::toast::kick:

[smtpgirl]

20. It absoultely SUCKS to be them

[Imagevision]

21. Santorum will be joining the ranks of the other Lieberman's out there

[Brian Stevens]

23. I don't trust polls

Even if it is for our team. Remember the Kerry exit poll, they conned us. If the pollsters can only tell us how many people were surveyed and not just giving us a percentage, maybe it would make things much clearer.

[benny05]

24. There Will be Some Voters Who Support *

Elizabeth Edwards said she has been stopped in the store many times and that people apologized for their votes.

I just hope this poll will bode well for Dems, especially Ned Lamont, albeit I heard he was behind one of the early polls this morning.

[aquart]

37. And she was polite to them, I assume?

We're so different.

[BrklynLiberal]

26. You mean there were issues on which he didn't drop????

:wow:

[Bucky]

30. Gee, do you think there'll be more "news" about gay marriage soon?

This is where the Democrats get to earn their balls. Do they lean back and pander to banalities, or do they hammer the message day and night that the security problems we're facing have been made worse by Republican posturing, demogoguing, and imcompetence.

[Liberty Belle]

31. I flew into Utah and Wyoming; lots of angry travelers who blame Bush

for the whole world hating us and wanting to kill us all. While I was at the airport waiting to be searched for chapstick or lotion, I joined fellow travelers in watching CNN actually air the Democratic response to the latest terror crisis - calling on Bush to actually implement the 911 commission's recommendations to provide us with real protection against terrorism (like screening all those checked bags).

Also lots of people in Wyoming are upset about global warming. Grand Tetons national park is parched, with the driest summer in recent memory and the glaciers nearly gone. (Ironically, a theater in Jackson Hole showing Gore's movie was closed due to excessive heat.)

I heard even rich Republicans no longer support Cheney in his home state. They blame him for destroying America. When he showed up for dinner at a fancy resort at Jackson Hole, accoding to my source, wealthy patrons made snide remarks intentionally loud enough for the VP to hear.

Also, the Salt Lake City newspaper ran an anti-war editorial blaming Bush's failed policies for causing more terrorism in the mideast, not reducing it.

If these two states are the reddest left on the map (based on recent polls), the GOP should go down in flames if we can ever get honest elections.

[aquart]

38. If the people who manipulated the elections

are no longer interested in helping BushCo, November should be simply fascinating.

Meanwhile, I'm still interested in hearing how many times lotion bombs have exploded and where.

[Liberty Belle]

40. What an interesting concept;

could Diebold & pals be persuaded that BushCo is bad for business, all hell could break loose.

[orleans]

32. time for another terra attack. this foiled plot crap was only

foreplay!

[peacetalksforall]

33. What is needed if he is drafted: (Because the DLC DNC did a lousy job)

Should Gore be drafted to run it is imperative that the people do what the DLC and DNC failed to do = fight the lies about him neatly and concisely and with a new twist.

A database of the previous lies and any new lies must be kept on the onternet (at the minimum). It must be easily accessed. Superbly written for conciseness and readability. Easily printable. Sourced.

It must be kept up-to-date for new lies within hours.

A team of people must watch and listen and report each pundit who continues to spread the lie and the place, date, time, and lie and context must be published on the same site or a parallel one.

The pundits cannot keep getting away with the lies.

The lies are still too fresh from 1999-2000.

We all know they were allowed to spread without appropriate response from the Gore team or the DLC/DNC.

The right wing pundits and tv hosts can't get away with it again. It's up to the people to attack them back by recording and posting each lie.

Maybe an existing blog owner can take it on from the start whether or not they support Gore - for the sake of stopping the lying right and the orders from the top that they receive to perpetuate the lies.

It's time to fight their lack of honor and decency.

35. Here is an internal Republican poll.

Our County Democrats received it this weekend and haven't had an opportunity to study it.

It's in PDF so don't try if you don't have Acrobat.

Also, even though we're a rural county in North Georgia we have some pretty savvy political analysts.

It's posted on pro-Republican Rich Galen's website.
