No. "Moved to Syria" is the new synonym for "drunken monkey posting."

Other way 'round, actually.

Does anything non-obnoxious ever come out of you anymore?
It's the hippies around here. They try my patience.

It's an important cover to maintain, though:

Zogby Poll Finds Suprising Support For Impeachment
A newly-released Zogby poll indicates that 42 percent of voters say that “if it is found that President Bush did not tell the truth about his reasons for going to war with Iraq, Congress should hold him accountable through impeachment.”

That is a stunningly high number when you consider that only 41 percent of the American public supported Congress proceeding with impeachment hearings against President Clinton in late September 1998. This was after President Clinton’s grand jury testimony was made public and just before the House Judiciary Committee approved a resolution recommending an impeachment inquiry.
Clinton didn't control Congress, though. I think that there are as many people who loathe Bush as there were that detested Clinton.

I'm surprised the number is not higher.

I yell at them - and they often "move" to the other side of the street.

I'd bet there are at least 59M people who are against it.

Can someone please wake the dems and assorted liberal riff raff up and tell them that they lost?

Kevin Drum wonders why the media isn't asking Tom Cruise real questions about the "dangerous and dishonest clown show" known as Scientology.

And the majority of his readers respond - asking "Why is Scientology any more dangerous or dishonest than Christianity?"

Well, I'm pretty sure more people have died in the name of Christianity than Scientology....

Based solely on those numbers, shouldn't the poll really read:

"58 percent of voters say that “even if it is found that President Bush did not tell the truth about his reasons for going to war with Iraq, Congress should still not impeach him.”

When L Ron Hubbard returns from the dead and starts turning water into wine, perhaps I'll listen.

No, it should really read "even if it is found that President Bush did not tell the truth about his reasons for going to war with Iraq, Congress should still not impeach him because bad as Bush is, we are scared at the thought of President Cheney."

In the last 100 years Islam has killed more than both put together......and neither Jesus nor Hubbard deflowered five year olds.
