Can’t take credit for it. Cliff May over at NRO is where I got those most encouraging and uplifting poll numbers and they made my day. Well that and all the other really encouraging news coming out of Iraq.

Tonight, on our local news broadcast, I was amazed to see the positive reporting of operations in Iraq. Man… this has just got to be bad for the traitor harry reid and the defeatocrats.

I’m gonna sleep very well tonight. My Country is MUCH saner than I thought. I was worried there for a while.

Who says prayers aren’t answered?

P.S. These netroots who you guys love to hate are more in line with the rest of America on Iraq policy than you are.

You are either self-deluded and honestly mistaken or else willfully ignorant and deceptive. Haven’t seen these then, I suppose?

From Cliff May over on NRO:

According to a recent USA Today/Gallup poll, 61% of Americans oppose “denying the funding needed to send any additional U.S. troops to Iraq,” and opposition is up from 58% in February. (3/23-25, 2007).

A Bloomberg poll reveals 61% of Americans believe withholding funding for the war is a bad idea, while only 28% believe it is a good idea (3/3-11, 2007).

A recent Public Opinion Strategies (POS) poll found that 56% of registered voters favor fully funding the war in Iraq, with more voters strongly favoring funding (40%) than totally opposing it (38%); (3/25-27, 2007).

POS found also that a majority of voters (54%) oppose the Democrats imposing a reduction in troops below the level military commanders requested (3/25-27, 2007).

A separate POS poll finds 57% of voters support staying in Iraq until the job is finished and “the Iraqi government can maintain control and provide security for its people.” And 59% of voters say pulling out of Iraq immediately would do more to harm America’s reputation in the world than staying until order is restored (35%); (2/5-7, 2007).

A Fox News/Opinion Dynamics poll show 69% of American voters trust military commanders more than members of Congress (18%) to decide when United States troops should leave Iraq. This includes 52% of Democrats, 69% of Independents and 88% of Republicans (3/27-28, 2007).

According to a recent Pew Research survey, only 17% of Americans want an immediate withdrawal of troops (4/18-22, 2007). That same poll found a plurality of adults (45%) believe a terrorist attack against the United States is more likely if we withdraw our troops from Iraq while the “country remains unstable”

Should a date for withdrawal be set, 70% of American believe it is likely that “insurgents will increase their attacks in Iraq” starting on that day. This is supported by 85% of Republicans, 71% of Independents and 60% of Democrats. (FOX News/Opinion Dynamics, 4/17-18, 2007).

An LA Times/Bloomberg polls reveals that 50% of Americans say setting a timetable for withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq “hurts” the troops, while only 27% believe it “helps” the troops (4/5-9, 2007).

Sure doesn’t look like America is very much ‘with’ you arrogant ‘elitist’ nutroots, does it? Look closely at the Democrat numbers. I think the Democrats are waking up to the realization that their party and the media have been absolutely overrun with radical leftists.

Like you, non. Just like you.

And they have every right to be fearful and genuinely concerned. You self-absorbed idiots are beyond dangerous, at this point.

Man, the coming months are gonna be fun!

I wish that there was an index fund that somehow had something to do with psychotherapists or therapists of any stripe. The dem party is about to have a massive psychotic breakdown and that stock would definitely be rising. Hmmmm… and companies that make mood elevating meds…

Hey, just planning ahead. After all, America IS the land of opportunity ya know.

Never argue with someone who knows they’re right. It’s a statement I’ll take to heart concerning this thread. How can you know your position is right without knowing the future? When someone points out a reality (netroots are more in-line with the American public than the people here are) everyone gets hostile. Calm down.

Nonfactor on April 28, 2007 at 10:44 PM

No-one’s hostile Nonfactor. Indirectly disagreeing with you doesn’t constitute hostility, though you obviously think it does. Makes me wonder why.

Oh, and that the majority of the People are f’ing insane.

I keep hearing this over and over again, then look into the basis for the statement. Left-laoded questions, asked by documentably left leaning pollers being both paid by and the results repeatedly reported by a almost uniformly leftwing media.

Whenever I hear the same thing over and over again out of the left controled media, and it directly contradicts what I see in front of me, somehow I think that just maybe it might be the propaganda it looks like.

Too many people are willing to believe what they see when they turn on the news

Not exactly. I saw a report (earlier this week was it?) hat newspaper circulation is down again. Most people are really tired of their crap.

But to be honest, the lefty nutroots did help the traitors Dems quite a bit by digging up Foley and swinging those vaunted independents. Don’t forget, 2006 was all about Dem dirty tricks. The ‘pub’s always want to fight fair, and always seem to forget that they are about to be sucker-punched.

(Don’t get me wrong. I’m not a ‘pub’ so I don’t have much sympathy for them. I am an arch-right-y. But it’s annoying that the ones who are supposed to be keeping the psychotics in check actually belong in the asylum with them.)

How can you the netroots and some of the American public know your their position is right without knowing the future?

Has anyone heard of these guys Unity 08? Can anyone tell me if this outfit could be viable for a future third party candidate?

This group will only have a following as long as it’ll keep a republican out of the office. you are kidding yourself if you think otherwise.

much like perot’s reform party, the leftist support fell away as soon as it was no longer needed to split the republican vote.

It’s a trick question:

Who was it that said neither party likes their base, but the Democrats are scared of theirs?

You did.

Anonymous Dem Politician: Netroots can be “mean and irrational”

The same politician also went on to say: “Spades have definite spade-like qualities.”

But the Democrats think, deep down, that their base is barking mad. The Republicans don’t. They just think their base is a bore.

Ah so we are supposed to forget that the powers that be in the Republican party can’t stand us simpleton christian conservatives?

P.S. These netroots who you guys love to hate are more in line with the rest of America on Iraq policy than you are.

The Netroots thinks that Iraq was a mistake because it was an imperialistic war, a “war for oil.” Most Americans who do not support Iraq because they think it was merely a foreign policy blunder (thanks, I might add, from the ideologically liberal media).

But even if we grant that your point about Iraq is accurate, that still does not even remotely establish that the “netroots” could in any sense be considered within the American mainstream. Hell, even the netroots’ manner of communication would be enough to alienate mainstream America by itself. Add to that the positions on crucial topics like abortion, gay marriage, and affirmative action, and the netroots might as well be on another planet.

P.S. As several people have already pointed out, you’re wrong again. And you’re lost again, far from DU

Where’s my newspaper? I feel a movement of my own coming on.

“Guess what, when the netroots started coming to prominence in the Democratic Party the Democrats just so happened to win back Congress after twelve years.”

The democrats didn’t win with the help of the netroots. The democrats won despite the help of the netroots. The thing the netroots helped the most with was funding. Beyond that, and especially ideologically, the democrats made every effort to distance themselves from views espoused by moveon.org, dailykos, and others; apparently they were pretty successful.

…. neither party likes their base, but the Democrats are scared of theirs?

I’d never heard that before, but it is so absolutely true.
