In July 60% of Americans wanted the Bush Murder Machine out of Iraq. More than 80% of Democrats said Congress has been too timid, and many Republicans, once again living up to their stock and trade-spitefulness, less than a full measure of intelligence and morality, and a far too large measure of hubris, say it has been too aggressive. Nevertheless, a majority of Independents, more than 53%, want action to stop the war, while nearly 70% wants war funding cut to force troop evacuation, now.
There is wide public agreement concerning a Congressional approach to war funding. Roughly, 75% want the $190 billion request reduced, and of that, nearly 46.7% want it either drastically reduced or completely rescinded. Moreover, among Democrats, whether Liberal, Moderate or conservative, 90% want funding ended or sharply reduced. Oddly enough more than 46 percent of Republicans agree with that strategy.
Democrats are very anxious about the perception that they are loafing, but so far that reported anxiety has produced no productivity on their part. So, this week the House will vote on a bill forcing the Bush administration to report to Congress on its planning for the withdrawal of troops from Iraq within 60 days, and then to require reports on continued withdrawal every 90 days. I say that is a mistake of large proportions. They should not make a gradual pullout, because that would endanger the remaining troops. They should all get the hell out all at once, covering themselves as they do and when they are gone, Bush and Cheney and Nancy Pelosi should be impeached and sent to Iraq to stand trial for Mass-Murder, War Crimes and her for enablement of the obviously mentally ill president and vice President
Right now, more than 73.74% in conglomerate polls favor the planned $35 billion health care investment in Americans and 25 percent are opposed. More than 50% of all Americans very strongly support the increased investment in healthcare, with only the peanut brained 17% are against the additional funds. I go farther. We have spent $2 trillion dollars on a fake "war" killing 1.5 million people, and another 1,000,000 here in America have died, when if we invested that $2 trillion dollars in building homes, setting every American up with no-cost health care, all would prosper. America instead has allowed a maniac, whose election was enabled by a chubby-faced fruitcake, fascist, who poses as a lawyer at times when he is not worshipping Satan in the privacy of his home, with his hobby of skewering and roasting live Blackbirds.
More than 81% percent of Democrats, 69% of Independents and 61% of Republicans favor the health care investment. Bush, the Republicans, the Neo-cons and their fascist allies are headed for a political aftershock when the vote comes up. The State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) will be passed even if Bush is insensitive enough to veto the Federal Bill. More than 70% favor passing the federal bill with the proposed increase. Moreover more than 565 of those polled say that they trust the Democrats more than the Republicans on health care issues and only 26% say the opposite, of course one has to take into account greed and envy and lack of sensitivity along with intolerance and lack of the needed intellectual capacity of the 26% on such matters. They seem to love to kill and maim, but not to heal and care for other humans.
Democrats right now have large majorities on the following issues, handling of the Iraq "war" an 18 point lead, the economy, also 18 points, handling the federal budget deficit where the Dems have a whopping 23 points lead. Even on the issue of handling terrorism, the democrats are now showing a lead.
Despite all of that, when Americans look at the wider efficiency of the Congress as an institution, they are exponentially exasperated. Right now only 33% of Progressive Democrats approve of the job Congress is doing, as against 59% approval in April and only 24% of Independents approve, the same as 2006 before the election when the republicans held Congress.
80% of Americans polled still believe congress is doing little. 66% of those who see little to nothing accomplished by congress blame Bush and the GOP and only 25% blame the Democrats-who are these 25%, you ask. You know that is the same percentage of Americans who think that God is going to come down and Smite all of those who don't want to kill Muslims, and the very same percentage believe that if you gargle Draino you will never experience cavities again. Come to think of it, they are right, dead people do not "experience" cavities!
The majority of Independents (51%) blame Bush, 43% blame the rest of the Republicans as well and 25% blame the Democrats.
The results have a margin of sampling error of plus or minus three percentage points.

As usual you are on target. Indeed who mare these idiots? Well, I know a few of them, well. In of the many who I do not know so well and those I do, I found the following traits: Authoritarion parents, husbands or wives. Fear of impotence, homophobic, extremely uptight, anal retentive and hostile. Difficulty with relationsahips in which they cannot be authoritarian, meek, enabling husbands or wives, a history of skirting the law with impunity. Business folks whose trade is enhanced by war and other illicit dealings. and much, much more...

'WELL, NO HEALTH CARE FOR THE LIVES OF THE CHILDREN SAVED FROM ABORTION, BUT $194 BILLION FOR MORE KILLING OF MEN WOMEN PREGNENT WOMEN AND BABIES. WELL AT LEAST THEY WON'T BE ABORTED. NOW I ASK, IF THE DEMS REALLY WANTED THIS BILL PASSED, WHY DIDN'T THEY TIE IT TO THE INCREASED FUNDING FOR THE WAR????'
Indeed why did not the dems tie the kids healthcare bill to the war funding? Maybe you ought to run, we need minds like yours in Washington. You always offer unique insights into every situation in the news, It is like you read the mind of God. Didn't you say that once in an article?
PS: I am also an academic.

I was asked to run for the Los Angeles City Council a long time ago.
After about two minutes consideration, and realizing that downtown L.A. scares me to death, mostly because it sits directly over a fault that's long overdue to crack and shake, and I wouldn't be able to get home for days or weeks, I decided to pass.
Running for office is not my thing really -- better put, it's really! not my thing.
Now I put my energy into writing about local and national politics, and an occasional donation to a candidate.
Currently, I'm doing everything I can to help Walter Moore, mooreisbetter.com, in his race against our current &*^%# mayor.

Yes, I believe I did, it was in reference to something Einstein said once, when asked how he came up with such stuff, he said, something to the effect of, "Every now and again, the Good Lord allows me to read His mind for a bit..."
I quoted him because someone asked me after the umpteenth prediction came true and I wrote about it. Maybe it was the Duke U. fate of the prosecutor prediction, way back in june of 2006 and again the week before the whole thing outed as I said it would, or the Paris Hilton one, or the Tsunami, or the prediction of Jerry Fallwell's death, or Gonzales firing, or the popes sideways repentance of supporting Bush, indirectly, I don't remember now . But I think sometimes that is how HE works. HE lets you inside HIS mind, as Einstein said.
Thanks for reading and writing, both of you, Aggie and Sandy. I do appreciate it, so much.

In answer to : "why don't you run...". I ran and successful campaigns for others, but I have no interest in running myself, ever, for anything. My running would be tantamount to Hugh Hefner running, our dating record is parallel and at times with some of the same or similar women.
More than that, i want to be able to stay out of the temptation to lie, cheat and steal, as well as be hypocritical, I am hypocritical enough as it is. And if you want more, "... it is not a suitable line of work for a sinner who loves God, dear... I would sooner you became a movie star or an honest thief..." My mom said that to me ages ago, Aggie. But thanks for thinking of me.
