8. As I said before it's Cindy's fault...

now she 'is weakening the US'. Can you believe bush would utter such nonsense.

[alarcojon]

15. He can utter it

but it doesn't change the fact that a solid majority of the country thinks he has royally fucked up this war (and, by extension, the country).

[smartvoter]

9. done. Same numbers. nt

[pauldavid]

[movonne]

12. Maybe it needs a little weakening..

[jojog]

13. Done

[Ready4Change]

14. Their protest demonstrates the strength of the US.

Despite all this administration has done, to weaken our economy, to divide out culture, to over stretch and misuse our military, to trash our reputation abroad, the fact that people can still protest our government demonstrates that at least one portion of our nation remains intact.

The protests are perhaps the only remaining sign that we are not completely controlled by a dictatorship.

22. Done -- but must they use this tricky phrasing?

Why not just "Do you agree with Cindy Sheehan that we should pull out of Iraq now?"

Or even better yet, how about the even more simplified "Should we pull out of Iraq now?"

What purpose does this convoluted wording serve?

[paineinthearse]

29. I agree, but consider

It may make low-IQ freepers' heads explode and/or vote the "wrong" way.

[Double T]

23. Done. The one thing that has weakened the US more than anything else...

are the policies of the bush administration.

81. GREAT, GREAT CARTOON!

But please don't promote the phrase "Mainstream Media"! They are not even close to reflecting mainstream opinion! But they like to create that ILLUSION. We help them when we call them "mainstream." I use "corporate new monopolies," or "war profiteering corporate news monopolies." Too long for that castle wall, of course. Some use "corporate media" or "corporate news" or "lapdog press."

"Corporate News" would work. (On the other, it's an artistic work--and it makes "mainstream" seem very funny, ludicrously fortressed against the people. So maybe don't change it.)

Again: GREAT, GREAT CARTOON!

[bpilgrim]

82. one of my favs

I understand your pov on MSM but as far as distribution goes they are and everyone uses MSM so it is easier to get, imho.

M$MWs (Main $tream (read corporate/greedy) Media Whores) is short and conveys the same MSG.

but don't worry... i think i am the only one to use it ;->

:hi:

[ElectroPrincess]

47. Has MSNBC gone 100% Over to Corporate LOCK-STEP Fascism?

Or are they having a contest with FOX as to who will make the most "Pro Bush" STUPID POLL QUESTIONS? If so, I think both Karl Rove and Karen Hughes are deemed judges. :puke:

[mzmolly]

48. What weakens the US is that lying SOB running the country!

65. I hate that: "Does it really matter why we're in Iraq?"

You're goddam RIGHT it matters! It matters more than anything. I get that all the time from the freepers on another forum when they get backed into a corner and just don't want to admit they were LIED to. What's even worse, though, is hearing that crap from the RW moles in the DLC and their sympathizers.

[Peace Patriot]

75. How come right now it says 139,480 responses, when you saw

135,619 responses (or 135,619 "no" votes) at 3:38 pm? Weird. Are they messing with this poll? I voted just now, and it remained NO-66%, YES-32%, Unsure-2%.

If your figure, 135,619 is "no" votes (and not total number of responses), please tell me--and tell me how you obtained the actual vote total for "no." (I only saw a total respondents number at their page.)

66% is awesome--and quite in line with Bush's current approval rating, which just fell to 36%!

79. My comma was after no as in 66% no..sorry for the confusion.

[Catchawave]

69. Still 66%

I think it was a trick question, they should have left off "Do you agree with President Bush..." and just ask "Do you think the anti-war protestors such as Cindy Sheehan are advocating a policy that would weaken the Untied States"

Most people are going to agree with Bush no matter what. On the upside, the per cent who agree matches his approval polls !!!!

80. Thanks paine

Yea it wouldn't be a Saturday morning without a conversation with my bud PiA. I like it here I have lurked around but sorry I haven't earned my priviledges yet but I will believe me.
Been kind of busy latly with the Cindy story. I knew I could count on DU to help out in the pole. I like beating those neo-con assholes at their own game.
Just a heads up, things could get cookin in Crawford this weekend with those red neck Bush supporters coming in so if any of you have just been waiting for the right time to go this is it. Cindys coming back and she needs all the help and support right now!
Thanks for listen.
