Then again, I'm just relieved they've stopped trying to bring me into the GOP fold...

I read this analysis by Jim Lobe over lunch and had indigestion.
Imho,Joe Lieberman keeps some interesting company. What's that saying, you sleep with dogs wake-up with fleas?

[B]ush's speech,[before the neo conservative FDD] which broke little new ground, is the first of a series scheduled this week aimed at bolstering badly sagging public support for the U.S. occupation and reassuring voters that Iraq is not descending into civil war despite the widespread sectarian violence that followed the bombing of Samarra's Golden Mosque late last month.[..]

In that sense, the White House's choice of the FDD as an appropriate forum would appear somewhat anomalous, given the prominence of neo-conservatives in their leadership and the stridency of its views.

Among its board of advisers are Centre for Security Policy president Frank Gaffney, who has attacked Bush for supporting Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's Gaza disengagement plan; Weekly Standard editor Bill Kristol; former CIA director James Woolsey, one of the most ubiquitous advocates of the notion that Saddam Hussein played a role in the 9/11 attacks in the run-up to the Iraq war; and American Enterprise Institute's Richard Perle, the former ultra-hawkish chairman of the Defence Policy Board who reportedly suggested in a debate at the annual American Israel Public Affairs Committee (that was also addressed by Cheney) that 12 B-2 bombers could solve the ongoing crisis with Iran over its nuclear programme.[..]

In 2004, FDD, which had by then begun receiving government funds for training students and activists in the Middle East in addition to private contributions, submitted a brief to the International Court of Justice in support of Israel's construction on Palestinian land of the wall sealing off Israel and major Israeli settlement from the rest of the West Bank on the grounds that "it can benefit the Palestiniansà"

In the same year, it also helped found Committee on the Present Danger (CPD) and recruited former Secretary of State George Shultz and Democratic Sen. Joe Lieberman, and former Spanish Prime Minister Jose Maria Aznar to its board. FDD and CPD have run a number of joint conferences "targeted at the Washington policy community", particularly regarding Syria and Iran, and espousing the view that Washington faces "World War IV" in its battle with "Islamofascism".

Who wouldda thought that on top of throwing kisses, Joe keeps company with the neo-cons. If Joe is a Democratic Senator, I'm a monkey's aunt.

Independents at 26%.

Now, the next stop down the ladder is 30%, Can't get too low for me.

Those must still be Reagan Democrats at 9%?

And if he started out with a high 2% approval among African- Americans -(Condi, Armstrong, Allen and Colin)- waaaaaaay back when, I'd guess he's at minus 210%. Only Condi is still standing by her man.
