Poll: Americans skeptical about handover

[onehandle]

June 28, 2004  |  WASHINGTON (AP) -- By a 2-1 margin, Americans say the turnover of political control to Iraqis now is not a sign of success, but a sign of failure because the nation's stability remains in question, a poll out Monday found.

Six in 10, or 60 percent, said the handover of authority at such an unstable point is a sign of failure, while three in 10, 32 percent, said the handover of authority on schedule is a sign of success, according to the CNN-USA Today-Gallup poll.

1. What? More than 3 in 10 get their news from Faux

It can't be that people are starting to think for themselves - can it?

:think:

2. Give Credit Where It's Due

60% of my countryment are not total fucking idiots...That's gratifying!

3. This just in: Bush is losing

People aren't buying his rhetoric and his applause boosters anymore. That's bad, because he's got nothing else. Bad for him, I mean. Good for the world.

4. Juan Williams said that this was a boost to chimp

He obviously had no evidence, as no evidence is necessary anymore to say anything like this I guess. Juan Williams is an asshole who never questions anything that the bastards in the "administration" say. He is bought and paid for, at probably a bargan price, by fox.

5. I don't watch Fox very often, but who's Juan Williams? Thanks! <nt>

Williams is on NPR

For reasons that elude me, his title is "senior news corespondent" or some such crap. A Dan Schorr, he aint.

9. Juan Williams late of "talk of the Nation" on NPR

Now floats around between NPR and Fox of all things. He is allowed access to people like cheney, rice, etc. They all like him because he asks the "hard" questions that they are able to reply to in open free spin and lie mode, and he NEVER follows up or disputes them. So they get an open forum to respond to "tough" questions with bullshit answers knowing that they won't get called on it. It happens EVERY FUCKING TIME.

6. DU thread on William's whoring on NPR

NPR

I gather that you saw him doing the same on Fox. He must have studied his fax of talking point from the White House before going on either show.

8. There is that 30 per cent

again! Isn't that about where a lot of the online polls have the "approval" for torture, etc. at? Must be a hard-core Bush bunch.

7. The same 32% cool aide drinkers.

That group will back Bush even if he had all their mothers shot.

10. Be sure to rate the article a "5".

I'm starting to regain some confidence in the American people. However, did it have to come to this before they woke up?
