I agree completely. We are being treated to a constant diet of <B>propaganda</B>. They really are being 'vicious enemies' of our country. And all for their own political gain. One of the most irritating tactics they've been using is this talking over whoever is interviewing them. They (Bush-haters) were talking so loudly, repeating and repeating, refusing to listen, on one show tonight I had to turn the channel. It was maddening and gave me a headache. I think SURELY I'm not the only one that irritates.... GREAT POST - by everyone here. I agree completely.

I heard President Clinton say there were WMD'S. All the leaders of the free world thought Sadam had poison gas etc...why else would he defy the world against inspections for over 14 years... Our press and universaries have been inflitrated with extreme left wing enemies of America which is giving comfort and encouragement to these pitiful misguided suicide terrorist and the terroist leaders who want Israel pushed into the sea and the US destroyed. They are plotting an atomic atack on our nation even now as we whim and fight anong ourselves and blame our president. A guy on C-Span yesterday said they have the "smoking gun" that Bush planned the war in Iraq before 9-11. He read a letter to the British that would have been a long long impossible stretch to be a "smoking gun." It seems criminal to me to make these kinds of accusatons in wartime. President Bush is blamed by the extreme left wing for not preventing 9/11 although he had been in office less than a year. He is taking measures to prevent another attack and is hampered at every turn by vicious enemies at home and abroad. I agree totally with you. I heard President Clinton say there were WMD’S.

I was just thinking as I watched the "news" reporting that poll, if you ask only people who are at home without jobs and therefore now working, if they'd like to blame the President for their poor situation, you'll probably get more "yeah, it's HIS fault" answers than if everyone answered the question. Just think of it as asking the mice what they think about the cat that's guarding the cheese. I appreciate George Bush and what he's having to put up with and have reached the point where I really don't believe a damn thing the press says in their "news" casts.... Hollywood and the press really do have a lot of sway when it comes to presenting what their view of a situation is.... My opinion??? I think they would really like to have only one side presented at a trial and then send the jury out for a decision.... We have GOT to realize that it is SO EASY to blame someone for something and we've got to remember the President told us three years ago that this was going to be a long fight against terrorists and, unfortunately, too many Americans think we're safe now and there just ought not to be any deaths or hardships in a war.... Too many think, "THEY" ought to serve in the service, not "WE" ought to serve our country....after all, "I have a right to a great job, beautiful home, nice, peaceful neighborhood, kind and obedient children and a working remote control..... someone else needs to make sure I get to have all this....and It's George Bush's fault if you don't agree with me!
