MSM Lies About Poll

Crooks and Liars » Poll: Congress Has Lower Satisfaction Numbers Than Bush: "...That’s a 31% drop in 60 days…a pretty dire warning, wouldn’t you say? But wait, here comes the part where the press pushes their own narrative:

Poll respondents from both political parties say they’re tired of the fighting between Congress and the White House, and want the two branches of government to work together on such issues as education, health care and the Iraq war.

This is what I’m talking about when I say we MUST pierce through the bubble that encircles the Beltway. These politicians read these stories and polls (TPM has the full poll here) and internalize it that their approval ratings will sink even further if they give Bush too hard a time or play the same kind of hardball that the Republicans had no problem playing when they were the majority. It is incumbent upon all of us to make very clear that their approval reading has to do with their lack of action, not fear of it."

Exactly. Everyone wants the war stopped and most of us want rid of Bush and his mafia. We want more fighting in Washington, not less.
