Senator Charles Schumer Lies --- Again --- to the New York Times
            Senator Charles Schumer lied to the New York Times again in yesterday’s paper in his frantic political effort to damage President Bush.
            In yesterday’s attack, Schumer said President Bush has made foreign policy a “partisan” matter.
            In actuality, it is Schumer who has made everything “partisan” as he seeks to become famous in the Democratic Party by electing more Democrats to the Senate this November.
            Schumer is Chairman of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, and as such is seeking to elect every Democrat he can.
            He told the Times yesterday: “George Bush decided to make foreign policy partisan in a way that Ronald Reagan or the first George Bush never did.”

Some 24% of All Democrats Believe U.S. Was Right in Invading Iraq, according to Poll by the Times   
            A poll taken by the Times itself shows that a substantial number of Democrats, 24%, believe that “the United States did the right thing in taking military action against Iraq.” That’s a large number of Democrats who do not agree with Schumer.
            The poll was taken from July 21-25, which was before the Prime Minister of Iraq addressed a joint meeting of Congress on the 26th, which was last Wednesday. According to the first paragraph in the Times story about the joint meeting, Prime Minister Maliki “described his country as the ‘front line’ in the fight against terrorism and vowed to make Iraq an ‘active player' in the security and stability of the Middle East.”
            The Times story continued that Maliki prompted “a standing ovation from a full chamber.”
            If the poll had been taken on the 26th, the number of Democrats who disagree with Schumer would have been much higher.
            In addition, even Schumer is backing Senator Lieberman in his primary battle against a Democrat who is seeking to depose Lieberman because he continues to back the war in Iraq.
            The Times poll from, July 21-25 showed that 75 percent of Republicans believed the U.S. did the correct thing in taking military action in Iraq, while 24 percent of the Democrats agreed and the Independents were split down the middle.
