9. A Pro-War Vote? I Don't Think So
I don't think that people who vote for: "Saddam Hussein is gone, and it's time to withdraw" can be considered "pro-war" by any stretch of the imagination. Especially when you see the poll is placed right after the newspapers anti-war editorial.

3. Wait until the recruitment effotrs get more aggressive and the children
of people who thought this would be an easy win are over in Iraq.

Then the polling will be REALLY impressive.

5. "We never should have been there" is not a response to
what to do now that we ARE there.

If you were in an Emergency Room would you want a physician to deal with the issue or talk abuot how you shuoldn't have let it happen to begin with?

Incidentally, I am 100% with you that we should never have been there. But we ARE.

8. Pro-war poll options.
Edited on Fri Jun-24-05 11:54 AM by bushisanidiot
it's as stupid as a poll question like:

How do you feel about President Bush?

a. He's the best president ever!

b. He's nearly the best president ever!

c. I hate him and want the terrorists to destroy america.

d. I don't have an opinion
