3. I thought that most Americans now thought that Iraq WASN'T going well.
Has the sentiment changed again?

4. No they don't
What, do you think we're idiots or something? It's not going well. If it was our troops would be home by now.

57% of racist Republican scum may think that Iraq is going well, but 100% of normal people know that it's a pathetic quagmire of nonsense.

Stop reading the "polls." They're pure, unadulterated, worm-ridden bullshit.

7. I heard this same bullshit on NPR and it's propoganda...
same crap...they play with statistics, skew the results, and report it as real so that others will think "oh, if everyone else thinks things are going okay, they must be." (subconscious: "because I'm too much of an idiot to think for myself). We have to quit even listening to these lies.

6. Reagan Bump and Media Manipulation, Remember, they
were always against you. They the media had no choice but to shed some limited truth before the dark wing pulled the plug on Ronnie to save them is a sea of rightwing puke. Now the time is most dire to break out those dusty email address and pens and slam the media once again for their failure occupation by the evil right wing.

8. Wait till June 30
57% of Americans think that Saddam is linked to 9/11 and even fuck face and his side kick don't think that. However, many Americans think on June 30, when we hand sovereignty over to that puppet government,that the war will be over. When all hell breaks loose in July, that false optimism will turn quickly and decisively against the assholes, because that's when all the lies will come back to haunt them.

19. I just saved your post
Because it is so on the money.

Sometime in July, I'll re-post it with the subject heading, "DU Psychic Louis C's Prediction on Puppet Government."

10. And who exactly did they poll? Want to know who funds Pew Research?....
<http://www.pewtrusts.com/about/about_subpage.cfm?page=a4>

Excerpts:

"An independent nonprofit, The Pew Charitable Trusts is the sole beneficiary of seven individual charitable funds established between 1948 and 1979 by two sons and two daughters of Sun Oil Company founder Joseph N. Pew and his wife, Mary Anderson Pew.

What is today The Pew Charitable Trusts began in 1948 with the creation of The Pew Memorial Foundation. The four founders-J.N. Pew, Jr., J. Howard Pew, Mary Ethel Pew and Mabel Pew Myrin-chose to honor their parents' memory by establishing a foundation that would contribute to the public's health and welfare and strengthen the communities in which we live. The founders capitalized the foundation with shares of Sun Oil Company stock, and gathered for the first board meeting on April 3, 1948."

12. Actually, 57% of Americans "POLLED" think that.
The media is trying to make you believe that lie. 100% of the 30 or so people I spoke with in LA think the war in Iraq was not justified and is going poorly. No wonder folks are depressed: they fall for the crap from the Republicans and the media as thought it were all true. Lazy thinkers is all I can say.

13. Remember, people have short memories and its all relative.
After a period of alot of bad news, a period of no news or some good news will be seen as good.

Thats why we have to watch what happens as the election approaches. Its just like the economy. It is still a bad economy, but because there is growth, people see it as a recovery.
