you and pompy all tucked in for the night, buffy? The Most Depressing Poll Ever Posted by: Dean Barnett TownHall Blog In the latest Fox News poll, just out today, the pollsters asked the following question: Do you personally want the Iraq plan President Bush announced last week to succeed? Here are the results: Overall: 63% Yes 22% No 15% Don’t Know Democrats: 51% Yes 34% No 15% Don’t Know Republicans: 79% Yes 11% No 10% Don’t Know Independents 63% Yes 19% No 17% Don’t Know Friends, I’ll allow you a minute to wrap your minds around this, for we are truly through the looking class. Even though we have some 150,000 troops in harm’s way and we universally profess to “support the troops,” over 1/3 of our society either wants them to fail or doesn’t know if they want them to succeed. Even more chilling are the results regarding our currently dominant political party. 49% of Democrats either want us to lose in Iraq or “don’t know” if they want us to succeed. I would love to hear why losing in Iraq would be in the national interest. And I would love to hear the humanitarian justification for leaving Baghdad’s civilians to the tender mercies of the murderous militias and terrorists that stalk that city. And I would also love to hear Democratic leaders respond to these poll numbers. But I won’t hold my breath. townhall.com foxnews.com thanks to Sully for that post: Message 23198398
