Polls Say Country Headed in Wrong Direction LAKELAND -- Dissatisfaction with the direction of the country has increased in the past year, according to a poll by the Pew Research Center for The People and The Press. Last April, people were asked: "Overall are you satisfied or dissatisfied with the way things are going in our country today? " Fifty percent of those surveyed in the Pew Poll said they were satisfied, while 41 percent said they were dissatisfied and 9 percent had no opinion. The same question was asked of 1,000 Americans in the random sample poll Feb. 24-29 of this year with 39 percent saying they were satisfied and 55 percent saying they are dissatisfied. A CBS/New York Times Poll conducted March 10-14 showed a similar trend when 1,206 Americans were asked: Do you feel things in this country are generally going in the right direction or do you feel things have pretty seriously gotten off on the wrong track? Fifty-four percent responded that the country was on the wrong track; 38 percent said it was on the right track. When the same question was asked in January, 51 percent said the country was on the wrong track and 41 said it was on the right track. -- Bill Rufty

We were assured there were weapons of mass destruction... And indeed there were weapons of mass destruction. Everyone knows there were. It would be the absolute height of stupidity to sit around acting as if there weren't weapons of mass destruction when we all know there were indeed weapons of mass destruction.
