>>During Iraqi Prime Minister Allawi's Rose Garden appearance Thursday, President Bush referred to public-opinion polls in Iraq to make a point about how things are going. "I saw a poll that said the right track/wrong track in Iraq was better than here in America," he said, prompting Kerry spokesman Joe Lockhart to claim that the president had become "unhinged from reality." I found Lockhart's comment odd. It strikes me that polling data are a better reflection of conditions on the ground in Iraq than, say, Democratic talking points. Lately I have been looking over the results of two Iraq polls released in July and August, conducted by the International Republican Institute (IRI) and the Independent Institute for Administrative and Civil Society Studies (IIACCS). They are scientifically conducted polls with large sample sizes and low margins of error. The results are extremely detailed, and fascinating reading.<<

Definitely fascinating reading and puts the lie to Kerry and Lockhart. What a surprise.

"Unhooked from reality" was a term that became popular to describe Richard Nixon. I think it was Roger Mudd who coined it.

DID any of you know that Bill Burkett is a signator at Veterans Call to Conscience? There is a connection between this group and the VVAWAI, a communist organization.

See here and follow the links for associations. See the signatories.

WHO'S coming unhinged?????

every time I see Kerry give a speech he seems to be closer to the edge than the one before.... at the rate he is going, I don't expect him to remain hinged until 11/2 !

The DEM campaign is using the playbook against Nixon point by point, including the garbage verbage.
Now that would be an ad... Show the playbook: compare the Dem statements and actions against Nixon and now. Of course it could , and probably would (let the voter study group prove it out) push their agenda to resurrect people's feelings of the 60' and 70' against a sitting president, a war, etc. Johnson was the problem but... whatever!

This is going to get nastier. We have to watch out for the last 48-72 hours before the vote. Carvile et al will throw something on the fan when there is little time to refute. I sure hope Rove is ready. Personally I am confident he knows how they operate and what the target may be. Halloween may be real scary. One treat...Bush masks are out selling sKerry masks!! Never been wrong! Twisted Evil vs Very Happy

Keep praying... another hurricane is bearing down on east Florida. God Bless! CTW

I did not know that.

Now, of course, Matt Drudge, Wizbangblog and Powerlineblog know it too.

Unhooked from reality was what they used to say about Nixon. Why do I sense deja vu here? Confused Confused Confused

Lockhart, Carville, et al claimed that the President said that things are better in Iraq than they are in America - and of course if the President HAD said that, I'd be inclined to believe that he was, indeed, unhinged.

But, what the President was comparing were the polls taken in Iraq and in the US, asking if things in Iraq were going better or worse than anticipated.

The polls taken of Iraqis are consistently much higher (more positive) than the polls taken of US citizens.... which should tell you something, right there.

The Kerry Kampf would rather believe the poll-results from US citizens - the people spoon-fed from the leftist media - than the poll results from the people who are over there living in the middle of it all.

So, who is it that's unhinged, again? Wink
