Calls to Get Out of Iraqnam Escalate

77% In CBS News Poll Say War's Going Badly, 40% Urge Withdrawal Of All U.S. Troops

The handwriting is on the wall in this new CBS News poll.

A CBS News poll shows Americans are increasingly dissatisfied with the Iraq war, President Bush and the Congress, as well as the overall direction of the country.

More Americans than ever before, 77 percent, say the war is going badly, up from 66 percent just two months ago. Nearly half, 47 percent, say it's going very badly.

Although the springtime "surge" in U.S. troops to Iraq is now complete, more Americans than ever are calling for U.S. forces to withdraw. Sixty-six percent say the number of U.S. troops in Iraq should be decreased, including 40 percent who want all U.S. troops removed. That's a 7-point increase since April.

HOW IS THE WAR GOING?

Well
22%
Badly
77%

Fewer than one in five thinks that the troop increase is helping to improve the situation in Iraq, while about half think the war is actually creating more terrorists.

The poll has bad news for President Bush, too. His job approval rating slipped to 27 percent, his lowest number ever in a CBS News poll — 3 points less than last month and 1 point below his previous low of 28 percent in January. His disapproval rating is also at an all-time high of 65 percent.

And despite Bush being supported by only 27 percent of the population (each, I'm guessing, with an IQ matching the poll percentage), and despite his disapproval rating at an all time high of 65 percent, the Congress of the United States and most disappointingly the Democratic members of the House and the Senate still steadfastly refuse to confront Bush and tell him no more money. Instead, they overwhelmingly (that would be a majority) voted to give Bush $120 Billion MORE to piss away until September so we can ensure that the American death toll in Iraqnam approaches or exceeds 4,000 dead by then.

We elected these lily livered fucking cowards in November 2006 to STOP THIS MADNESS and to emasculate Bush. What did we get for that hard work campaigning for the likes of Jim Moran, Jim Webb, Jon Tester and others of their ilk? We got screwed. They promised us a rose garden and we bought it hook line and sinker.

The true test will be in September 2007 when the latest $120 Billion to kill American kids runs out and Bush comes begging for more money to kill more American kids for no reason. We will hear stories about how the Democrats want the "enemy" to win and how the Democrats aren't patriotic and the chickenshit bastards will roll over, play Beta wolf, expose their throats and testicles to Bush, and give him more money to ensure that more American kids die for no earthly reason.

Each and every member of Congress who remains supportive of Bush and his failed policies even with Bush having a 27 percent approval rating who is up for election in 2008 needs to be unelected. Each and every damned one of them. We need a strong cadre of candidates who will not succumb to the Reichwing media calling them traitors who will create a coalition of the willing in the Congress to defund the war and remove our kids as soon as possible.

Its quite evident at this point that We the People were fucked once again by our alleged representatives in 2006. I am now personally ashamed of having contributed to the campaigns of Jim Webb and Jim Moran. I am ashamed of having campaigned for them. I'm ashamed of having gone door to door and arguing their alleged anti-war stance for them.

I'm just plain sick and tired of both of those turn coat bastards. And John Warner who will be up for re-election in the Senate in 2008 is another enabler. He talks like one of them but when it comes time to vote he votes like a loyal Bushie.

I can't wait for the 2008 election. I hope we can get 435 clones of Ned Lamont to run for the House and 32 clones of Ned to run for the Senate. All of these lying bastards in the Congress now deserve nothing but our disdain and our disgust. Its time to take it to the streets. There haven't been huge street fires in Berkeley, Detroit, Kent, Ohio, and elsewhere since the Vietnam war. Its time to bring them back.

Michael Moore in his new movie "SiCKO" shows how in France the government is afraid of the people while in the United States the people are afraid of the government. Its time to change that. We need every member of Congress shitting in their collective pants out of concern for what We the People are about to do if they don't respond to the will of the people and stop this madness in Iraq.

Fuck you, Congressman Jim Moran. Fuck you Senator Jim Webb. Fuck you Senator John Warner. Fuck you House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Fuck you Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. Fuck each and every one of you very much.

Write Letters

I just sent this email (modified for position) to the three bastards who represent me. Do the same with the cowards who represent you, especially if they are alleged anti-war Democrats. I'll send this to Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid also.

Dear Senator/Congressman

Please have one of your aides read this post that I just put on my blog

I am disappointed in you and your continued support for Bush and his failed policy in Iraqnam. You talk tough to the media but when it comes time to vote you follow the Bush line. You should be ashamed of yourself. Each time another plane load of dead American kids arrives under cover of darkness at Dover AFB, Delaware, you need to feel personally responsible for each kid's death because your vote faciliated it.
