just crap. (They're tweaking the numbers behind the scenes.)

Real polls: 58% of the American people opposed the Iraq war BEFORE the invasion. Feb. '03. I'll never forget that stat. Before all the lies were exposed; before the full horror and costs of it were known. Across the board in all polls. 58%!

Americans didn't trust Bush even THEN. And now it's pushing SEVENTY-PERCENT!

58% in any general poll is impressive. It is accurate to say that the great majority of Americans opposed this war FROM THE BEGINNING. And now it's an overwhelming majority of Americans.

I've followed the issue polls for over a year, and they tell an amazing story. The great majority of Americans oppose every major Bush policy, foreign and domestic, way up in the 60% to 70% range. You name it. The Iraq war. Torture policy. Social Security. The deficit. Women's rights. Bush has only rightwing minority support. And the only stat that is out of sync with the great majority is the official election returns, which were tabulated by two rightwing corporations (Diebold and ES&S) using SECRET, PROPRIETARY programming code.

Hm-m-m-m. Makes you wonder.
