1. But, but, but, but....y'all know the Pretzledent doesn't pay attention

to polls, doncha? Anymore than he reads newspapers or surfs the Internets.

It's a horrendous thing when our "Leader" is Sooooooooooooooooo out of touch with what the American People want and is just determined to "stay the course" onto the rocks.

That said, I gotta go add my vote to the Poll. :)

Its sad that our representation in congress is sooooo out of touch too....
Unfortunately my so called "Democratic" representative, Rob Andrews (D?, NJ) voted for the Un-Patriot Act yesterday. We'll have to see who might be running against him in the primaries I think. :grr:

4. The whole friggin' thing is more than "controversial," it's a spit...
in the face of the Founding Fathers who fought against royalty (which we now have ensconced in the White House Palace) and the arbitrary powers exercised by those who believe their actions are sanctioned by God.
