		<description>Honora: &quot;I think we are seeing the beginning of a wave of discontent and anger from the military against Bush and the administration.&quot;

I think Honora is full of leftwing crap, as usual.

And given Honora&#039;s absolute silence on the 3 troopers held by Al Qaeda, and given her loyalties, one has to ask:  Did she do a &quot;fist pump&quot; with a loud &quot;yes&quot; when the news of the adbudction came out, or did she simply do a &quot;high five&quot; instead?</description>

Out of the Ivory Tower yet?  LOL
Can you answer me why we&#039;re still in Kosovo &amp; Bosnia?  Can you tell me why it is the Dims are anti-war when a Republican is in the White House?  Of courese not.  Also, when can we expect those thanks from the Muslims who we lost people over in both those places? crickets????</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;You’re kidding, right? 

Jen the Neocon on May 15, 2007 at 1:15 PM&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Well yes and no.  My point is, everyone jumps all over the Zogby poll I reference, but seem quite content to swallow whole the USAT and AP polls referenced by Allahpundit--even though these are bastions of the heinous , never to be trusted, MSM.  

Well which is it?</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Of course Honora, I would expect no less from you. My husband is pissed at the Dims for their statements that the war is lost and sending up a bill they knew W would veto. What is wrong with you? Why you’re always so negative against those who aren’t in the medical corps like your husband. I don’t know anyone and I mean anyone and I know a lot of people who do the grunt work in the Army, Navy, Air Force &amp; Marines who are unhappy with W. It’s the dims they hate. Of course half of the Dims are anti-war anyway when a Republican is in the White House. Now, if it’s your hero Clinton they’re right on board. Why are we still there Honora? I mean you’re so smart and everything so you always tell us, why aren’t the Muslims more thankful for our saving their butts in Kosovo &amp; Bosnia? Well, you can be happy with yourself in your ivory tower telling us all how wonderful you are and how wonderful the dims are and how you just know the military hates W. Keep dreaming.

		<description>This poll has problems to it; so its results are dubious. Summed up here:
&lt;blockquote&gt;http://www.mysterypollster.com/main/2006/02/the_zogby_poll_.html

And even the group that financed it (an anti-war group) as well as the fact that the hard data is not available; makes the poll highly suspect.

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Actually, you’re only right in the House. In the Senate 29 voted in favor, 21 against. In the House, 83 in favor, 126 against.

My statement:

&lt;blockquote&gt; the majority of Dems voted against the war. &lt;/blockquote&gt;

stands.  112 for, 147 against.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Last year’s Zogby poll of soldiers in Iraq–70% say get out

http://www.zogby.com/news/ReadNews.dbm?ID=1075

That’s off the top of my head. 
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
This poll has problems to it; so its results are dubious. Summed up here:
http://www.mysterypollster.com/main/2006/02/the_zogby_poll_.html

And even the group that financed it (an anti-war group) as well as the fact that the hard data is not available; makes the poll highly suspect.</description>

		<description>honora, that was not &lt;em&gt;re: this issue.&lt;/em&gt; Let&#039;s stick to the topic instead of trying to tell me what I think about President Bush...The Democrat majority Congress has worse approval ratings than the President does. Deal with it.</description>

		<description>If W vetoes a second time, there won&#039;t be a boomerang, as &lt;a href=&quot;http://proteinwisdom.com/index.php?/weblog/entry/22787/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;this is the converse of the 1995 gov&#039;t shutdown&lt;/a&gt;.  People sided with Clinton on multiple vetoes then because they don&#039;t follow politcs much, but they believed the Clinton really wanted the gov&#039;t running more than the GOP Congress.  Here, people still don&#039;t follow politics much, but believe that W is more interested in funding the troops than the Dem Congress, because they know W is more interested in funding the &lt;em&gt;war&lt;/em&gt; than Congress is.

And btw, this shows the limitations of the &quot;support the troops/oppose the war&quot; rhetoric.</description>

		<description>What was the Democratic/Republican/Independent/Other breakdown?  If half-again as many Democrats were sampled than Republicans, then the positive rating is overstated.
