Heh, and it's pretty uniform throughout too.
Well said, Mr. Moore. Well said.

I was about to quote that as well, Seal. And I notice that the majority support reducing the number of soldiers because Iraq has a Constitution. I fail to see the correlation between having a Constitution and being able to provide an adequate military and security. Could someone please explain this? Will they hold the Consitution up in front of the insurgents and say "Oh look! We have this Constitution! It say's we're in charge now! Go home!"? I'm certain that piece of paper will do everything the US Military can.
Overall, the majority disapproves of the war, dislikes Bush's handling of the war, and doesn't believe the war was a "just war" (to borrow a right-wing term). However, the polls in regards to leaving are hardly consistent, with the exception of "get out of Iraq" being ahead. But note that two out of three polls on bringing the soldiers back are not nearly as clearly pronounced as the polls about say, Bush's character.
People can bitch about him as much as they want. He's still going to be the president until 2009.

Well, short of impeachment and conviction upon the impeachment charges.

A lot of work cleaning up the mess...
...it will be years, decades, even generations before it's all cleaned up (if it can be cleaned up at all).
No matter how he leaves office (be it voluntarily or not), the effects of his Presidency will be apparent in the years, even decades, to come. Some people may like it, but others (like me) will not.

talk about biased.
It's called rounding.
e.g. 49.1 vs 49.4. Both get rounded down for aesthetics, but one is still in the majority.

Although Moore is incredibly biased, who never actually knew this? He'll eventually have to bring them home, when public support gets so incredibly out of hand. Right now it's hovering at the 50-50 or 60-40 mark which is acceptable enough.
I'm glad I'm in Canada, though, even though we were somewhat dragged along too.

since polls always have some kind of error margin, it is very likely that those results fall under the margin. i for one refuse to call 49.1 <-> 49.4 the majority because of that.

PC a REPUBLICAN?! Who would of guessed?
It's almost taboo to be a christian and democratic.
People let religion blind them, just because Bush is anti-abortion and against homosexual marriage does not suddenly make him worthy of being our president. Those are the only 2 of many issues which many of the members of my church use to justify their decision to support the monster known as Bush.
Has he done anything to prevent abortion? Very little.
Has he outlawed homosexuality? No, states can decide for themselves.
People let 2 menial issues (won't effect people's overall standard of living) decide which party to follow.
I just have a serious issue with this (being a Democratic Christian and all...) so I felt the need to ramble on. Sorry :D. Now back to your normally scheduled programming.

Everyone thinks we should pull out of Iraq; do they not remember how things went in Germany?

Do you not see that we shouldn't be there in the first place?
I can't believe people didn't turn on Bush when he went into Iraq with falsified reports of possible WMDs. He flat out lied to all of us and nobody cared. Bah.

Define "flat out lied." As opposed to..."regular" lying?

How things went in Germany when? After WW2? Things like NATO? OMG!

Micheal Moore. People still listen to this fat biased idiot, even after Fahrenheit 9/11 was revealed for the ridiculous sham that it was. I fucking HATE partisan politics. Talk about your pointless drivel geared towards nothing but telling people what they want to hear.

He makes some very valid points but I guess he polled the wrong people because he was re-elected after 9/11... it doesn't add up right. I still enjoy his movies though ^_^.

Not to mention the fact that even CNN had a report yesterday on how Bush has slipped in approval ratings to a record low of 39%

I mean, seriously...who cares? Another politician is unpopular, another set of politicians want him out, a bunch of people are unhappy. It's business as usual in the political front...
