Currently AOL is doing another crap poll
"President bush warns Democrats against 'partisan' criticism - urges UNITY to clear hurdles in Iraq"

Poll Question:
' how dou you view the people who criticize the handling of the Iraq war ?'
60% agree with statement.
27% disagree, think they are disloyal.
13% disagree, don't question loyalty.

Serious students of G.W. know he is a team player and keeps his powder dry until maximully effective. We'll see more opening barrages as we head into the 06 elections.

Graffitti on wall in Flagstaff supermarket:

"W" lied - 2000 died. Well, it's a start."

Response written underneath it:

"Go back to California stupid liberal."

Some of the worst culprits in worsening the dialogue on Iraq have come from the White House - Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, James Carville, etc. etc. etc.
