US - Majority of US back Bush on wiretaps

The left loses again.

A new CBS News/New York Times poll found 61 percent of Americans believe the eavesdropping is meant to fight terror and the majority support that [53 percent back Bush authorizing wiretaps].

Boy it must have killed CBS and NYT to learn that.

Schieffer: “You know John, it looks to me as if the President has decided to make this a political issue to show that he is strong in the fight against terrorism and perhaps the Democrats are weak. And I must say, looking at that poll, he may be succeeding.”

Roberts: “A political issue and a national security issue which history would show the President does very well on. You take a look at that poll, the majority of Americans think if it's directed at terrorism it's the right thing to do, Bob.”

Excuse me? I believe it was the New York Times that leaked the NSA wiretapping story that started all of this. It was the NYT and the Democrats who made a political issue out of our national security. And like everything else the left tries to do it backfires on them.

Remember when the Democrats kept moaning on how they couldn't get a vote on whether to keep our troops in Iraq? The President gave them not one, but two and the Democrats were utterly defeated.

Impeachment? Bring it on bozos!

CQ has more including how CBS/NYT slanted the poll towards the Democrats as they usually do and still it backfired on them. Bwahahahaha!

The last two pages contain the demographic information for the poll sample, and it reveals that the Democrats got overrepresented once again in the respondents:

Republicans: 29%
Democrats: 34%
Independents: 33%
Other: 4%

That reminds me of when the Democrats alleged that the Republicans committed widespread vote fraud in Ohio and thereby stole the election. So sure of it that the Democrats paid for an investigation into the matter. Here is what they found.

In a stinging reply to the report, Mr. Mehlman agreed that there were numerous election abuses that took place in Ohio last year, but said they were perpetrated by Democrats or their political allies. In one instance, he said, "Democrat allies attempted to disenfranchise Ohio voters by submitting registration cards for Mary Poppins, Dick Tracy and Michael Jordan."

In March, a group of Ohio election law attorneys conducted a review of the state's election for the House Committee on Administration. It found, among other things, that "thousands of false and fraudulent voter-registration cards had been discovered and became the subject of numerous investigations by boards of elections, actions by local law enforcement and many media reports."

"Overwhelmingly," this report said, "these problems were reportedly traced primarily" to four Democratic political allies who supported Mr. Kerry: ACORN, America Coming Together, the AFL-CIO and the NAACP National Voter Fund.

Thanks to bloggers, America is now seeing the Democrats and their megaphone, the lying left wing media, for the danger they are and the world is seeing the left for the danger they are.
