1. When I See A W04 Sticker
I want to walk up to that person and say in disgust "so you're one of the 35% percent still hanging on to our failed leader"

2. If you draw a swastika on the "W04" stickers, they get removed...
quickly.

Don't ask me how I know this. B-)

3. Here is another approach I saw somewhere on DU: Just say to
the owner (in shocked disgust): "Did you know someone put a Bush sticker on your car?"

If they actually own up to having put it there just say,,, "Oh. Oh my. I thought it was a joke."

4. Oh that's a good one - I can use that! Thanks!
Where I live the people who still have W stickers also usually have a full gun rack too.

5. What was the time-line of events circa 8/1-8/06 that may have shot Bush's
Edited on Thu Aug-24-06 10:52 AM by Peace Patriot
disapproval rating up to 64% in the AP/Ipsos poll--a 10% leap that stands out against the mid-50's disapproval ratings surrounding it? Was it Israel/Lebanon? Did the American people smell out the Bushite/NeoCon "Project for a New American Century" behind that dreadful and unwise assault? Truly, I cannot remember the dates, just the sequence: Antiwar candidate Ned Lamont wins the CT primary and bumps pro-war Lieberman out of the Democratic Party. Then Israel started bombing innocent civilians in Beirut. But I can't recall the date of the primary, or the start date of the bombing of Lebanon. Too much happening during the last 3 weeks.

Or was it something else? Anybody other suggestions?

It seems to me that the key to winning in November--that is, the key to overwhelming Bushite corporate controlled electronic voting systems, run on TRADE SECRET, PROPRIETARY programming code, with virtually no audit/recount controls--lay in that 10% bump. That is the turnout factor we need to beat the machines (5% to 10% "thumb on the scales" for Bushites and warmongers--about as much as they can get away with, without raising more suspicions).

So, it would be interesting to know what those people were thinking in early August that ADDED TO the Bush disapproval rating. (The poll would have to have been taken at least a couple of days BEFORE 8/9.)

7. Poll: Arkansans favor immediate withdrawal or timetable for Iraq

Poll: Arkansans favor immediate withdrawal or timetable for Iraq

LITTLE ROCK A new poll shows Arkansans favor withdrawing U.S. troops from Iraq immediately or according to a definite timetable.

Opinion Research Associates conducted the poll for the Arkansas News Bureau-Stephens Media. Of those surveyed, 53 percent favored an immediate withdrawal or withdrawal according to an announced timetable; 35 percent said withdrawal should take as long as needed to turn control over to Iraqis; five percent favored sending more troops to Iraq, and seven percent were undecided or gave no opinion.

The strongest demand for withdrawal was among black Arkansans: 78 percent wanted an immediate pullout or favored a definite timetable.

Opinion Research surveyed 500 registered voters by telephone August 15th through 19th. The poll's margin of error was four and a half percentage points.
