David Kuo, "special assistant to the president in George W. Bush's White House, policy director for Sen. John Ashcroft, and speechwriter for a gaggle of conservatives," has spent some time looking over the message boards at Pat Robertson's new CBN site, and the results are astonishing. He's offered two or three choice excerpts, but after spending a good 10-15 minutes reading the entire thread, I can tell you that they are absolutely representative of what people are saying about the war. Here's just one:

Not a chance! First of all, the war was built on lies (WMD's & Iraq was involved in 9-11), false hopes (that the US would be embraced in Iraq), misguided bravado (Bush went ahead mostly alone and without exhausting dipolomacy), and without a clear plan to win the peace. On top of that, the war has been mismanaged - thanks to Rumsfeld and those at the top, not our brave troops. In fact, it's surprising that America supported this folly as long as it did. I credit Karl Rove's spin with that. But as with Vietnam, it all is finally catching up with a President, who no matter how he tries, still has that deer-in-the-headlights look and feel.

So here's my question: If Bush loses the Pat Robertson evangelicals, who will he have left? And how low will his approval ratings eventually go?
