To HELL With The Polls!
J.J. Jackson* | November 30, 2005 |
It’s funny, whenever a slanted AP-Ipsos poll that over samples Democrats by 6% shows something positive for liberals you begin hearing it cited as public opinion by the left. But when you have a poll by RT Strategies showing 70 percent of Americans think that criticism of the Iraq by Democratic Senators is lowering troop morale they just keep on their merry way talking down the troops and their mission. This of course despite the recurring mantra of “We REALLY support the troops.”
Even self-identified Democrats agreed that their Senators were damaging the war effort, with 55 percent saying their criticism hurts the troops - and just 21 percent saying it helps.
In fact here is what some of the Democratic leaders said:
“What’s happening [in Iraq] is not working; it’s a disaster,” Sen. Barbara Boxer complained Tuesday - oblivious to the damage her comments would do. “Right now, there’s an endless war,” she declared.
Reacting to President Bush’s Iraq war speech Wednesday morning, Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid griped that all he heard was the “recycled [and] tired rhetoric of ?stay the course.?
“Simply staying the course is no longer an option, we must change the course. We can do better,” Reid groused.
Hours earlier, Sen. Hillary Clinton complained that she was tricked into voting to authorize the Iraq war when the White House gave her “false” intelligence on Saddam’s weapons of mass destruction.
“Based on the information that we have today, Congress never would have been asked to give the President authority to use force against Iraq,” she chided.
That’s right! TO HELL WITH THE POLLS! We don’t need no stinking polls!
If only that were TRULY the way the Democrats worked it would be nice.

On topic and intelligent comments are always welcome as are humorous observations. But liberal talking points with no basis in reality, off topic comments, spam and advertisements are not. Even though you may think you are an intelligent liberal, you probably are not. Keep this in mind as trolling is prohibited and will result in your comments not being approved and comments informing us how much we are a bunch of idiots because you say we are or espousing hate towards the truth are often moved directly to the official “I Hate You/You’re An Idiot” thread. Save us all the time and post there directly if you have a comment that would meet those criteria. Commenters reserve the right to mock claims about how liberal ideas, such as higher taxes, actually work and how conservative and right wingers, are NAZIs, racists, sexists, etc. and will do so with great regularity.
