I wake up this morning and the press is giving Bush a pass!

CNN parades their little fake poll out showing that no one blames the president!!! Delay stifles any hopes of an investigation.


WHO'S COUNTRY IS THIS? WHY ARE WE STANDING FOR THIS?????

4. Prolly not...the online ones have been bad for Bush.
The scientific surveys seem to show little difference from his approval rating, with maybe an extra five points for people who don't blame him.

15. Some poll...

That said people blame the local govts more than the feds or Bush for the after-storm mess.

7.  I saw that too....

...and in the light of that, still don't understand how the REpublicans are getting by with delaying hearings, and spinning spinning spinning.

Is there another press conference today?

3. I think the polls are shit
My RW In-Laws want bush and minions impeached and gone. They voted twice for bush.

Given the other stories people have posted about other RWer's outraged and upset over what happened, I don't buy the polls AT ALL.

8. Doesn't matter; math isn't giving him a pass
A bill for $150 billion, juxtaposed with his $1 billion per week folly in Iraq and his drunken sailor approach to tax cuts and federal spending, will sink *.

Problem is, the math won't be very kind to us either.

10. I think the spineless media is trying to read the ratings tea leaves...
No heart or soul, just after ratings - despite some progress we've seen, it is very difficult to change a long term pattern of behavior.

And, after all, isn't it all about money - that is why we are in such deep shit in this country.

13. THOUSANDS HAVE DIED!! Keep asking why. Every opportunity
point out that thousands are dead. The dead don't go away.

16. I saw that propaganda, too
More people blamed the local officials AND THE SIZE OF THE STORM. This doesn't jibe with most of the other polls I've seen...

17. The reason he...
.. nominated Roberts so fast after death, was to energize that anti-abortion base. They smell the overturning of Roe Vs Wade and are now in full enable mode. Very Christian of them.
