WAY OUT OF TOUCH


Yes, four loyal readers, we already knew this one, but seeing the story in print as you can here reinforces your faith that you were right all along, and maybe that faith boost will spur us all to lobby, arm twist, speak out a little more to move the leaders we elected to lead on this issue, and stop emboldening the idiots

A unique survey question posed by the Gallup organization reveals just how far the president and Congress -- and most newspaper editorial pages -- appear to stand from the wishes of the American public on getting out of Iraq.

Gallup, in a report today, said it posed the question: If you had 15 minutes with President Bush in Oval Office what would you tell him to do about Iraq?

The majority (56%) said they would urgently urge him to focus on getting out of Iraq, with the highest number (nearly 4 in 10) agreeing with the wish to simply "pull the troops out/end it" and others backing other exit ideas . . .

. . Gallup concludes: "The majority of Americans, as measured in a number of Gallup Poll surveys this year, believe the initial decision for the United States to become involved in Iraq was [sic] mistake. Research also shows a majority of Americans favor a timetable for withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq . . .

. . . "The president maintains the loyalty of a smaller group of Americans -- one in four -- who are supportive of his current actions or would even want him to be more aggressive."

And 65% of those "one in four" have AM radio talk shows and/or work at Fox News Channel . . .
