America Would Rather Cut And Run Than Support Troops
I have a message to all our brave men and women of the armed services that email me each week. That message is talk to your families and friends and acquaintances and talk some sense into them.
A new Rasmussen poll tells some important and disturbing stories. First is that the voters think that a McCain victory in November is more likely to result in the United States winning the War On Terror. Second is they think that an Obama victory in November is very unlikely to result in victory. Third is that victory isn’t that important to the American people.
If John McCain is elected President, 49% of voters say it is at least somewhat likely that the United States will win the War in Iraq. A Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey found that just 20% believe victory in Iraq is likely if Barack Obama is elected in November.
However, the survey also found that voters believe Obama is more likely than McCain to bring home U.S. troops from Iraq. If Obama is elected, 59% say it is at least somewhat likely that virtually all combat troops will come home from Iraq during his first term. Just 43% believe the troops are that likely to come home if McCain is elected.
Most Americans—52%–say bringing the troops home within four years is a higher priority than winning the War.
So all you men and women telling me every week about how much you just wish the American people would get behind you and that victory is important to you, pull everyone you know aside and make sure you let them know how you feel about the fact that they would rather cut and run than support the mission.
Perhaps thought it is fitting that we celebrate Memorial Day by America participating in it’s new favorite pasttime; pissing on our soldiers and their sacrifices.
