about it.

If you really think Iraq will the number #1 issue to the majority of
folks when they're actually dimpling chads, you need about 5 more years
study toward that 4-year PoliSci degree. And if you think people are
completely honest and forthright with pollsters, you need 6 more
years...

The war may not be issue #1 with the "trust fund baby" crowd
you hang with but out in the heartland where the military is
seen as a bootstrap

You mean in the land of red-state morons?

many, if not most, people know a relative
or a friend or a friend of a friend who never came back from
Iraq or came back in pieces.

Or know someone who heard of someone who knew someone who saw a name of
someone killed on TV...no, "most" don't have much direct contact with
such. And I suspect that I knew more people killed, or know more people
who had friends and family killed or injured, than "most" friends of
your friends...and that goes back to Gulf War 1.

And I don't need a pollster to tell me that.

Right...just NPR, Hillary, and Ol' Screamin' Howie...


Good lord, 13.5
million people listen to Rush Limbaugh fer cryin' out loud

And 75% of them are probably liberals looking for something to bitch
about...or "report" on...

Riiiiiiiiight.

Oh, Lord, the 75% wasn't meant as a serious number...but now that I
think about it....OK, so it's probably closer to 71%...seriously, I have
no idea how many listen to him or why, but it's apparently more than
listen to all of Air America...but that'd be, what, 19 people, so ???

Yeah, they did, using any reasonable meaning of the word "lied"
you can come up with. Denial is not a river in Egypt, Richard.

No, they (meaning current GOP or Dem) didn't, because this "quagmire"
has taken hundreds of years to get this quag really good and mired.

How many Americans were killed in Iraq prior to 2003 ? How many
since ? And how many more to come ? You just don't make sense,
Richard.

Our energies and resources should
have been focused in Afghanistan.

Er, no.

Duh, yes.

Er, no.

HTH,
