If 81% of Americans disapprove of the direction

[samplegirl]

Bush is taking this country...
Somebody please tell me how in the f**k they
can approve of wire-tapping.
What has Bush done thus far that hasn't undermined the good of this country? How could
any American trust his judgement on anything???

1. The poll was bogus

David Sirota debunked it.

2. Because it sounds like it was how the poll was worded...

If I ask you:

Are you willing to wiretap Americans if it helps prevent a terrorist attack?

I will most likely get a different answer than if I asked:

Do you think the president should disregard your 4th amendment rights and illegally wiretap American citizens?

9. "without a warrant..

and who aren't currently under investigation for anything"

would get a very different answer and a resounding NO.

10. We'll he certainly had no problem

convincing people that Iraq and 9/11 were intertwined. When he decided to invade the wrong country. I mean come on how many times can
Americans be fooled with this administrations
buzz words and spin?
There certainly must me alot of "Dumb" americans.

11. Don't they realize they are

setting the stage for more voting fraud?

3. They didn't

ABC/WaPo ran what you could basically call a push poll. They worded the questions in such a manner that people would answer the way they wanted. The poll was taken BEFORE the news of what the NSA had done came out in USA Today. I bet if anyone did a poll on NSA spying now, the results would be very different.

4. Thom Hartman broke it down earlier on Majority Report...

That poll was a load of bollocks.

15. F-E-A-R

they will never forget the image of those planes crashing into the World Trade Center and are for anything that they think will keep them safe. It's up to the Democrats to point out that wiretapping is not keeping them safer, in fact the opposite because it's too much information mudding the waters and taking valuable resources on a wild goose chase.
