The only poll that counts is the one that counts the actual votes. This is basically a chicken shit country that will ultimately choose McCain because of ignorance and fear. At least that is my cynic talking today, but as long as people choose a guy they would want to have a beer with (He doesn't even drink!) or make choices based on religion, we are basically screwed.

My well researched vote is canceled because someone saw a picture of "Hussein Obama" with his heart uncovered during the star spangled banner.

This isn't a war. It's an occupation.

It will only end when the "benefits" outweigh the "costs" to those who are profiting from it.

That would include the major oil companies, defense firms, KBR, Halliburton, Blackwater, and all of the investors who own stocks in these firms,

The "occupation" is a business deal. Pure and simple.

It may be paid for in the blood of American GI's, contractors, and Iraqi civilians, but its absolutely, positively a business deal over the control of oil that will one day be pumped from beneath Iraqi sands.

And nothing more.

WWII was justified; Iraq is not. Now Bush is posturing, telling us to fear that Iran is collaborating with Al Qaeda to make WMDs. It's the same old rhetoric, the same old lies. He thinks we'll buy it; let's just hope that Congress doesn't.

Americans have felt that Iraq was not the right thing to do since July 2004. Someone please tell Cheney (for all the good it would do) that this is not a 'fluctuation in public polling', but truely our opinion, and he still works for us.

Don't want profiteering wars & corporate corruption? Don't vote for CORPORATE COWBOYS LIKE CHENEY.

Cheney's a good example of why voters should WATCH OUT WHO THEY VOTE FOR.

=== On Cheney's day #1 as V-P he TOLD the deer-in-th­e-headligh­ts GWBush that "WE ARE ENTITLED" to do virtually anything we want. And he did it. Cheney gets away with it.

=== That Corporate greed is #1 in importance, regardless of cost.
Deregulation is essential, regardless of cost.

=== Invasions are essential, regardless of cost in lives & tax money.

=== Cheney runs the Bush-Cheney "show". Cheney believes middle-income Americans should pay the bills for CORPORATE WELFARE QUEENS out to profiteer on everything-in-sight as fast as possible.

==== THAT is the kind of "corporate cowboy arrogance" NOT to vote for ever again.

Notice how it's always the people who aren't over there fighting who seem to think they know more about the war than the people who are over there fighting ? And yes liberals I'm talking about you.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Democrat Barack Obama's big national lead over Hillary Clinton has all but evaporated in the U.S. presidential race, and both Democrats trail Republican John McCain, according a Reuters/Zogby poll released on Wednesday.

SO I GUESS POLLS ARE IMPORTANT ACCORDING TO THIS HEADLINE

Without non-stop war the neo cons got nothing else to run on.

The 29% who approve should enlist.

Yeah, go ahead America and whine....you voted for another Bush term, and it's looking like you're going to actually vote for a third one with Bomb Bomb McCain, DESPITE the fact, that he is going to drag our sorry asses into Iran...how much blood actually has to spill before you hit the streets, and vote with your human brains istead of those "lizard" brains. Disgusting and I could care less about the Americans who don't feel this war is "worth" it...it never was worth it, it was a LIE and yet, American's are still fooled by 30 second soundbytes and colorful graphics and rely on the words of endless pundits who are in the pockets of MSM and the elite for all their news worthy information. Here's a new quote America,,,,I've never been so ashamed of this nation as I am right now.

Here's the only thing that needs be said about this war and why it's not worth it.

Taking estimates that say this war will cost 3 trillion dollars...that means that every man, woman and child in this country, legal or otherwise, paying taxes or otherwise, on retirement or a 2 day old newborn---is responsible for $10,000 EACH to pay for it.

Worth it? I think not.

We did not invade an occupy Iraq for oil, freedom, or democracy as we were led to believe. We invaded Iraq to ensure the re-election of an already-failed administration. In that respect, Bush is entirely correct (at least from his perspective) that it was worth it.

American public support for the military effort in Iraq has reached a high point unseen since the summer of 2006, a development that promises to reshape the political landscape.

According to late February polling conducted by the Pew Research Center for the People and the Press, 53 percent of Americans — a slim majority — now believe “the U.S. will ultimately succeed in achieving its goals” in Iraq. That figure is up from 42 percent in September 2007.

The percentage of those who believe the war in Iraq is going “very well” or “fairly well” is also up, from 30 percent in February 2007 to 48 percent today.

29/64? That sounds like Bush's approval/d­isapproval ratings. Could there be a correlation?

There is no underestimating the general intelligence of the American public.
