Poll Numbers on Iraq / Bush / Al Zarkawi's Death
The CBS News poll survey, taken Friday to Sunday and released Monday, showed Bush's approval rating going up to 38% from 36% earlier this
month and an all-time low of 31% in May. 53% of Americans think Mr. Zarqawi's death would improve the Iraq situation at least a little bit, 53% also call the invasion of Iraq "the wrong decision," compared with 41% who still back it.
Sixty-one percent also say Zarqawi's death won't have any impact on the terrorist threat against the United States, while 22 percent it will increase that threat. Thirteen percent predict a decreased risk of terrorism. 30 percent say it will actually lead to more attacks against U.S. forces. Just 16 percent think the number of attacks will decrease as a result of his death and 31% of Democrats think Al Zarkawi would be a better President than Bush, up 2% after his death...(ok, I'm kidding on that one, just wanted to see if you were paying attention.)
What do you think? Remember, you don't have to give your real name if you don't want too and your email address will not be used to generate spam, we destroy that information as soon as it comes in.

What do I think? I think of the phrase "What would Jesus do" with a twist. I think "what would Al Qaieda say". I don't need to tune in to Al Jazeera though. I can hear it from those who describe themselves as the "loyal" opposition on the left. Essentially in their view it seems the death of Zarqawi is a defeat for the U.S.
Just maybe your joke wasn't so far off. Maybe those %30 of Democrats are angry because they lost a viable representitive.

Ok I'll play. I think that 98% of democrats are insane while only 97% of their loyal followers are! The polls tell us a lot about the state of the disloyal, loyal opposition and the media. They say very little about how well Bush is actually doing. They are designed that way on purpose.
Why do they poll? To get to the other side? Well, in a way...they want power back, big time. Not polling would leave them with only their thoughts as a guide. NO HELP THERE! So poll and protest, poll and protest, poll and protest!!! They will FORCE Americans into believing they're right even if they have to beat us bloody with polls and protests.
They cannot be trusted to honor a pledge, like defending the Constitution, so why would they be any good at defending America? And why, pray tell, should we trust them ever again about anything, including polls?
WE ARE WINNING THE LONG RACE...NO MATTER WHAT THEIR DA*N POLLS SAY.
If I stand back and step outside the yammering I am astounded by the accomplishment of the Bush administration and our BRAVE TROOPS. In a few short years, with very few errors, we have freed people from tyrants and terror, seen two democracies take root in the Middle East, watched the Palestinians devolve into a state of chaos amongst themselves with fewer attacks on Israel, killed and captured thousand of terrorists and prevented further destruction on American soil (may it remain so)and there is more to come. Let's Roll and roll and roll those "disloyal" rats into the gutters of disfavor where they belong.
