Red State, My Ass
As House and Senate Republicans search their souls in preparation for the inevitable veto override votes on bringing troops home from Iraq, perhaps they should ponder this:
New polling in red state Kentucky shows that people are overwhelmingly against the Usurper and on the side of the Democrats on Iraq.
Highlights:
- 64 percent favor starting to bring troops home this summer, and have them all home by summer 2008.
- 59 percent oppose - 45 percent strongly oppose - the Usurper's Surge.
- 67 percent rate the Usurper's handling of the war in Iraq negatively - 27 percent "not so good" and 40 percent poor.
The 2008 Victory Train is leaving the station, y'all, and Friends of George will not be allowed on board.
Thanks to mcjoan at Daily Kos for bringing this Democratic Senate Campaign Committee poll to our attention.

Yeah. This is becoming less and less surprising, even to a fellow Kentuckian like me. As reliably red(neck) as Kentucky has been for as long as I've lived there, more than half a century, it's a testament to just how thoroughly Shrub has fucked things up that even the knuckledraggers here in the Bluegrass are starting to get a clue.
Now, if we can just continue to counteract the poisonous effects of outlets like Faux Noise and their traitorous clones long enough to get the ignorant to realize they've voted against their own interests long enough, our country might - MIGHT - return to something resembling sanity.
I'm not holding my breath, though.
