Geez, You see how Tomlinson skewed the stats to reflect his own 
agenda? He states that of the 19 Conservatives* or Republicans who 
appeared, only 8 supported the administration while the rest (11) 
were opposed. But when you look closer, he has decided that the 
following are "neutral" and as such aren't worthy of inclusion in 
his conservative/Republican column. These include the Oregon 
Chairman of the Christian Coalition, an activist soliciting support 
for the Jewish Settlements,, a group of people from the Israeli 
settlements who apparently have such differing views that it's hard 
to say whether they have a more liberal democratic perspective or a 
conservative one. Of course this last is about as believable as 
saying that Tom Osborne [R-NE] is neutral on Bush, something the 
report actually claims, along with Republican Representative  Jim, 
Ramstad of Minnesota.

*his call. Based on the above, I've little doubt that a Google 
search of those in the liberal column(or conservative for that 
matter) will show something quite different than what he has deemed 
as such.
