Stripped from the headlines:

House Incumbents at Risk, Poll Finds
Most Americans describe themselves as being in an anti-incumbent mood heading into this fall's midterm congressional elections, and the percentage of people who approve of their own representative's performance is at the lowest level since 1994, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll.

Gotta love the Post...sorry for the lame V for Vendetta quote attempt...and the miss-spell

 

Win for the wackadoo wing

I think that pretty much sums it up. If the left turns into the anti-war party completely they will be done for. It is one thing to run on the failings of the incumbents...but that will only get you so far. The Democrats need to have their own message and at this point remain to divided themselves to have any clear one.

November is certainly for the Republicans to loose but only if the Democrats pull themselves up by the bootstraps and pose a good alternative. This is something they are still unable to do.

 

the democraps sure are quick to castrate anyone in their own party with a slightly differing view. quite amusing, really..

 

Quite intollerant if you ask me...

I thought they preached tollerance.

 

i know. confuses the shit out of me too.

 

It's not just the Dems that do not support the war in Iraq. Here are some polling results from Greenberg Quinlan Rosner Research:

• Voters in Republican districts are very unhappy about the war. It was the most important issue for these voters, and only 36% of them had good feelings about it. Disgust with the way the war's been run—and the deceit that lead us into it—isn't just a blue-state thing.

• the more voters thought about Iraq—even after hearing Republican counter-arguments—the more they wanted change. Before hearing the arguments on both sides about Iraq, voters favored Republicans by one percentage point. But after, they favored Democrats by a big margin—51% for Democrats, 43% for Republicans in these Republican districts.

• Democratic candidates who took a strong stance on the Iraq war did better. And being clear and bold on a speedy and responsible exit from Iraq didn't just help win votes—candidates who took that position were much more likely to be seen as "strong," while those who were more mealy-mouthed were seen as "typical politicians." (This point was from an earlier poll we did, but the result is reflected in the more recent one.)

And here are some FACTS that create the results of what you just read above:

60. The percentage of Americans opposed to the war in Iraq, "the highest number since polling on the subject began with the commencement of the war in March 2003." 57 percent supported a timetable for troop withdrawals from Iraq. http://www.cnn.com/2006/US/08/09/iraq.poll/index.html

1,855. Number of bodies that showed up at the Baghdad morgue in July, "a 16 percent rise from June and a 71 percent increase from January.

Sorry Andy but I am not going to trust a pollster with a strong liberal leaning.

This quote is right from their Homepage...

If you think a cut and run, defeatest strategy is the right move for America you are gambling with Americans lives. Just in case the far, wacko, moonbat, left of this country suckers people to vote for their candidates I will be stocking up on guns and ammo. If they get into office I have ZERO faith they will protect America or our interests.

 

What, exactly, has been done by the admin to prevent future attacks? Create a color alert? Start a war with a country that stood as a threat to no one? The Patriot Act? [Sarcasm ON] Liberate a country from a VIOLENT ruler (preventing further violence in the area)? Capture Osama? Create a steadfast allience of world powers? Spread democracy in the Middle East? Create a swift force capable of handling any and all disastors quickly and effectively?

In all honesty, if the democrats do any worse than the current admin and congress, I will gladly step a way from all politics with a final FUCK IT.

 

You're unbelievably narrow minded.

I haven't seen any terrorist attacks here in the last 5 years. Have you? Something must be working.

 

He must be unaware of all the national security secrets that the NYT has been telling the world on how we have been proactively persuing terrorists...
