Poll: Many Doubt White House Cooperation in CIA Leak Probe
ABC News ^ | GARY LANGER

Posted on 07/18/2005 5:50:56 PM PDT by NathanBookman

Just a quarter of Americans think the White House is fully cooperating in the federal investigation of the leak of a CIA operative's identity, a number that's declined sharply since the investigation began. And three-quarters say that if presidential adviser Karl Rove was responsible for leaking classified information, it should cost him his job.

Skepticism about the administration's cooperation has jumped. As the initial investigation began in September 2003, nearly half the public, 47 percent, believed the White House was fully cooperating. That fell to 39 percent a few weeks later, and it's lower still, 25 percent, in this new ABC News poll.

LMAO!!! I needed a Rove fix so I posted this. What a joke. The numbers in the poll imply that 90% of those polled know what is going on with the Plame case. BS. At most 10% of Americans do...if that!!!! If you are reading this, you have probably spent 10's or 100's of hours trying to understand what is going on in this case...and you are probably still not sure, like me.

Also, the source is ABC news. Is ABC news biased? Let's see: "President Bush just can't win with the broadcast networks...ABC was the most critical -- 78 percent of the coverage of the president on "ABC World News Tonight" was negative."

ABC News Radio top story for most of the day (after the hurricane which was only a blurb) was that the President is going to name a Supreme Court nominee in order to deflect attention from Rove and then went into the usual spin of telling everyone Rove was guilty.

I would say that the MSM propaganda is working effectively.

I am so sick of this nonsense! Joe Wilson, his wife and their accomplices are a bunch of liars with an agenda.

Meanwhile, Social Security reform could not get any traction in the press. I am 41 yrs old. SS will implode right around the time I am ready to retire and after paying in my whole life I know I will get screwed.

But the democrats and the press can't be bothered to even CONSIDER reform. Not when they have more pressing matters such as this BS.

"give me a break. These flash polls are retarted"

The word is retarDed. If they were re-tarted,
they would have to be soured again.

Well, come to think of it, that's not such
a bad description after all.

I happened to catch CNN's Bill Schneider read the results from this poll...hot off the presses. He was practically salivating! What Schneider denies by omission is the part the MSM plays in generating these numbers.

The MSM hypes a story to hell and back, then feigns innocent surprise when their efforts have had negative impact on the country. What's even more startling to me, Bill Schneider and his ilk think we don't see how thisshithappens.

I've been trying to get some help making Karl Rove tee shirts, with an image of Rove in the same style as the Che Gueverra shirt and the saying, Viva la Rove-olution at the bottom.

That's why I posted this. We all know the poll is crap, but these media folks have no shame in broadcasting them. I saw Dick Morris on Fox tonight, and I think I agree with him on this Rove thing. Morris is basically saying the Rove is now the main lightening rod for the Administration...and that is good, let them focus on Rove while Bush goes about doing what needs to be down (i.e. Supreme Court nominee). Morris says if the Dems want to waste there $ and TV time on Rove, they are making a mistake. He said mainstream America could care less about Rove (contrary to this ABC BS poll).

Check with Cafe Press. They probably can direct you somewhere. Last night, I order a "My Wife Is A Covert CIA Operative" t-shirt. I would buy your Rove-olution as well. But hurry up, I am making a trip to San Francisco in a couple of weeks and would like to wear it there.

Ignore all the stories about this garbage. The public has no idea who Valerie Plame is and couldn't care less. If asked, they'll probably answer: Was she on Desperate Housewives?

DemocRATS are spending mounds of energy on this nothing story. They're hoping to couple all this to the Downing Street memo so they can have more basis for impeachment. They're not getting away with any of it.

Indeed. The viewers are gullible and easily tired.
