* "Once various leaps of faith were made, however, that mantra --
it's better to fight "them" on foreign soil rather than in the
streets of [fill in your city] -- proved the most powerful of
tunes. " i *hate* the fact that this logic is so obviously,
demonstrably invalid, except, apparently, for the evidence. it
drives me batty.

* "In a Pew poll taken just a few days after the election, voters
were asked to choose from a list of factors that influenced their
votes. 27%, chose moral values; 22% chose Iraq. But when they were
asked to name their most urgent issue (with no list to choose
from), 27% named Iraq and only 9% moral values."

* "On election day, the exit polls asked: "Is the war in Iraq part
of the war on terrorism?" The 54% who said "yes" went for Bush by a
margin of 4 to 1. The 43% who said "no" went for Kerry by 9 to 1."

* " In a Zogby poll, 68% of self-identified "liberals" said that
"faith and/or morals" were important in deciding their vote (14
points higher than "moderates")."

* "University of Virginia political scientist Paul Freedman noted
the strong correlation between views on terrorism and voter choice.
Those who said they trusted only Bush to handle terrorism voted
nearly 100% for him. Those who trusted only Kerry gave 97% of their
votes to him." moralsmellyouse.

* bush on war, jonk on the economy.

* btw - fallujah is a fucking disaster area - not just the
destruction, but ongoing fighting. there's a nice media bait/switch
if u look closely - they now refer to problems in al anbar(?),
rather than fallujah. its the same place.

* ""The cost of litigation in America makes it more difficult for
us to compete with nations in Europe," Bush said" try-a-lawyer.
