We know how much polls mean to some people in the forum. Unless it's good news for Bush. Then polls don't matter, of course. <br><br>Well . . . Here's a poll:<br><br><blockquote>20%: Gitmo Prisoners Treated Unfairly<br><br>RasmussenReports.com<br><br>June 22, 2005--A Rasmussen Reports survey found that 20% of Americans believe prisoners at Guantanamo Bay have been treated unfairly. Seven-out-of-ten adults believe the prisoners are being treated "better than they deserve" (36%) or "about right" (34%).<br><br>The survey also found that just 14% agree with people who say that prisoner treatment at Guantanamo Bay is similar to Nazi tactics. Sixty-nine percent disagree with that comparison. This helps explain why Illinois Senator Dick Durbin apologized for making such a comparison.</blockquote><br><br>link<br><br>And in a CNN/USA Today/Gallup poll, look what was *quietly* not talked about . . . <br><br><blockquote>The poll showed that 52 percent of respondents approved of how the United States has treated prisoners at the detention camp in the naval base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba -- compared to 37 percent who disapproved.<br><br>Some critics have said the facility should be closed in the wake of allegations of mistreatment of detainees there, but poll respondents disagreed -- 58 percent to 36 percent.</blockquote><br><br>link<br><br>Hmmmmmm . . . perhaps this goes to show how out of touch Democrats like Dick Durbin and Nancy Pelosi are with the American people when it comes to Guantanamo Bay. <br><br>And to our extremist, rabid lefties . . . keep chasing your tails.

I see you extemist, rabid, war lovin righties ignore this: <br><br><blockquote><font size=1>In reply to:</font><hr><p>Angus Reid Global Scan) ‚The number of Americans who are against the coalition effort grew over the past three months, according to a poll by Gallup released by CNN and USA Today. 59 per cent of respondents oppose the war with Iraq, a 12 per cent increase since March.<p><hr></blockquote><p>Link>><br><br>http://www.angus-reid.com/polls/index.cfm?fuseaction=viewItem&itemID=7750<br><br>Matt, you really ought to stop chewing your tail. <br><br><br>

Yeah, yeah, yeah . . . you're a broken record Steve (War-for-oil/yellowcake/downing street/Karl Rove/Haliburton/pipeline) . . . But back to the polls about Gitmo . . .

Oil you say? Nah, couldn't be. The gods said it's about freedom and democracy. No really ....<br><br><embed src="http://www.gregpalast.com/video/palastmarch'05.mp4" width="320" height="260" type="video/quicktime" nojava="true" autostart="true" loop="true" controller="true"><br><br>No really, it's about freedom and democracy<br><br>

Well Steve . . . let me know when all the stolen oil starts flowin' in . . . 'cause I'm still payin' $2.25 per gallon. <br><br>

well, at about 60 bucks a barrel, I would say the oil traders are laughing all the way to the bank, and at you, Matt.<br><br>

Great . . . Let me know when that stolen oil starts flowin' . . . <br><br><blockquote>20%: Gitmo Prisoners Treated Unfairly<br><br>RasmussenReports.com<br><br>June 22, 2005--A Rasmussen Reports survey found that 20% of Americans believe prisoners at Guantanamo Bay have been treated unfairly.

I recall recent testimony to the Senate by British MP George Galloway asking them also exactly where the oil went to. <br><br><br><br>

<blockquote><font size=1>In reply to:</font><hr><p>so forget the Gitmo stuff- it's "small potatoes" THIS is much bigger.<br>GW's leadership is pathetic !<p><hr></blockquote><p>President Bush's leadership has been exemplary during his Presidency. I thank God we have had a leader with the resolve to respond to 9/11, and deal with threats in this new age of terrorism. What IS pathetic are extremists like you, who have been foaming at the mouth, filled with sour hate for Bush, for five solid years, not to mention the pathetic leadership of the ever drifting Democratic party.<br><br>But, I do agree with you on one thing:<br><br><blockquote>"so forget the Gitmo stuff- it's "small potatoes"</blockquote><br><br>You're right. It is small potatoes. However, the lunatic left, in your frantic and frenzied blood-lust for Bush, see everything as a political opportunity. You're swimming in the sweat of your own mania.<br><br>You're poison, Dave. You really are.<br><br>
