Rasmussen: "43% Support Petraeus Recommendation, 38% Oppose"

Seems General Betray Us managed to overcome the Democratic Congressional / true conservative “mandate” to bring the troops home now!

The new center, it won’t be happy about this.

No sir. I expect additional purges. Physics tells us, after all, that the center simply cannot hold when there are so many pro-Petraeus centrists gumming up the works and pulling the unified narrative apart like so much string cheese.

The answer? Purify.

BECAUSE THE PEOPLE-POWERED PEOPLE’S PEOPLE WILL NOT STAND FOR SUCH UNPEOPLED WRETCHEDNESS!

    Especially popular unpeopled wretchedness. That’s just un-people-y.

  2. RiverC says:

    *unless for the sake of protecting t3h 3nvironm3nt ™.

  3. PEACE BE UPON HIM says:

    And, Kyoto. Let the purges begin. We will help.

  4. Patrick Chester says:

    Oh? Odd, when the polls go against Bush and/or our efforts in Iraq we’re supposed to blindly follow because The Polls Demand It! Now suddenly I suppose those preaching doom are not going to find polls all that important all of a sudden.

  5. JD says:

    Polls only count when it shows Republicans to be less popular than child molesters.

  6. The Deacon says:

    The purges will continue until its just Kos, Amanda, and the HuffPo crowd attending a Jerome Armstrong tarot reading. Then they’ll probably get in a raging arguement about the refreshments and start excommunicating each other.

  7. claude pate says:

    Or, odd that Karl has debunked this poll…yet.

    I assume he’s working on it? Maybe this is the first honest poll ever, according to him, but I’m afraid we can’t move on this.

    Oddly, though, I thought the official Protein Wisdom position was that all troops stay (why does George W hate America?) and that polls mean nothing. What counts is doing “the right thing”.

  8. Phil Smith says:

    Splitters!

  9. JD says:

    calude pate – Apparently, you did not put much effort into your thinking.

  10. Serve the People.

    On toast points.

    Actually, the position is that our positions aren’t influenced by poll numbers, because we don’t base those positions on how popular they are.

    Are positions aren’t looking to get invited to the really swell after-prom party if it means having to kiss up to the ignorant or the cynical.

    For what it’s worth, though, we’ll oftentimes, explore a poll’s methodology.

    You are welcome to do so with Rasmussen, if you’d like. Post your findings right here. Be my guest.

  12. PEACE BE UPON HIM says:

    We like Frenchies like Claude Pate. Useful idiots, they are.

  13. psychologizer says:

    65% of Americans followed news of the Petraeus testimony at least somewhat closely this week

    So 60+% of this poll’s respondents are liars. Good to know.

  14. proudvastrightwingconspirator says:

    Numerous polls have shown that the vast majority of Americans:
    – want lower taxes
    – oppose Gay Marriage
    – oppose ILLEGAL immigration and think our borders should be secured
    – support English-Only ballots

    Of course, as far as the media is concerned, just because the majority of Americans polled express these opinions doesn’t mean they should come to pass (or even be reported about).
    But if ONE poll shows 50.1% of Americans oppose “the current strategy in Iraq”, then by God, let’s cut and run.
    BECAUSE THE PEOPLE SAY SO!!!!!!!!

  15. pmm says:

    “Say it again. Say it one more time. You’re out! You’re out. And I’m out too. There’s no gang. How does an asshole like Bob end up with such a nice kitchen anyway?”

  16. Old Texas Turkey says:

    the poll question was regarding whether one would specifically support the General’s plan to withdraw 30K and keep 130K in I-Rak. So inference would lead one to believe that the polled recognize that the situation requires siginificant “boots on the ground” for sometime.

    However, reading down the list, pollees (sp?) trusted Hildebeast to handle Irak situation better than most all other candidates, altho her lead couting the the margin of error is close to statistically meaningless, again inferring that the polled don;t think anyone currently running for the POTUS has an IMMEDIATE solution to the situation. Jives with what we all generally believe here. There is no shortcut in an insurgency.

    Rasmussen has historically been a better polling outfit than those used by the MSM, imo.

    On to other subjects, perhaps Claude can let clue Joe Biden in on why its important to have local cops (another laugh out loud moment from the Betray-us hearings Tuesday).

    Also, anyone catch Michael Ware “keeping them honest” on CNN last night? Literally sneering at the futility of US actions given that, in the esteemable oinion of the nasally contorted wallaby, Iran OWNS the country now .. and there nothing the yankee bitches can do about it. Having to snort cocaine by stuffing it ones left ear must take its toll in someway.

  17. Karl says:

    First, calling one’s self “claude pate” is bordering on sock-puppetry. Do you want to take off the sock, or shall I have Jeff remove it for you?

    Second, please provide a list of the polls I’ve debunked. I’ve written negatively about one poll recently, not to “debunk it,” but to point out that ABC and the BBC are claiming the demography of Iraq is much different than the rest of the world thinks it is, but aren’t really reporting it. There’s a troll in that thread (and I suspect this one) who didn’t get the point (and I suspect still doesn’t).

    Third, my response to Rassmussen poll — before reading the comments was:

    The new center, it won’t be happy about this.

    Nah, they dismiss Rassmussen as a partisan hack.

  18. happyfeet says:

    Sixty-five percent (65%) of Americans followed news of the Petraeus testimony at least somewhat closely this week.

    I don’t believe that, or “somewhat closely” means “kinda sorta heard about some report I think it was this week.” The libs I know have pretty much tuned out the war. Interest peaked I’d say in January or so. I had coffee last Friday with a guy who pretty much had his NPR talking points in order. The report “wouldn’t change anything.” “Political reconciliation.” I asked him to name three Iraqi politicians. If political reconciliation is key, I asked, isn’t it odd that you can’t do that? He said that was a good point. He is a nice liberal.

  19. Karl says:

    I should add that the quasi-sock puppetry is combined with a baseless attack on me in a post I did not author, increasing the odds I might not catch this little stunt.

    Coward.

  20. JD says:

    Karl – Claude Pate should just surrender now, if he knows what is good for him. Your words alone are more than sufficient for Jacques Chirac and Dominic de Villeblahblah to concede defeat and flee in terror.

  21. RiverC says:

    I’ll even donate a white flag, though I doubt it will be necessary.

  22. Karl says:

    JD,

    If you would check my URL, you would see that the troll should not be referred to by that name. Given the rank stupidity of its comments, this sort of identity theft also borders on libel.

  23. NOTmojo says:

    53% of all statistics are totally made up.

    GOOGLE IT!

  24. OHNOES says:

    “53% of all statistics are totally made up.”

    100% of all statistics I disagree with are totally made up.

  25. Cowboy says:

    15% of all Americans believe French sock-puppets are “way cool.”

    85% of all Americans believe that pate is the last stop before goose sphincter.

  26. The Ouroboros says:

    Man, this has been the most messed up day.. It started great! I was totally stoked when I read about Cindy Sheehan and her bunch doing a “Die In” this weekend to protest the war..What a great idea! That was the coolest thing I’ve heard in awhile… but then I’m driving home and this guy on the talk radio is saying it’s all a sham.. That’s right.. One big fucking attention whoring sham.. They’re not planning on DYING at all.. They’re just going to PRETEND TO DIE.. You believe that shit?

    Fuckin gutless pogues..

  27. JD says:

    Posers. Pseudo-diers. Faux fatalists. Fuckers.

  28. happyfeet says:

    In the simplest form of a die-in, protesters simply lie down on the ground and pretend to be dead, sometimes covering themselves with signs or banners. Much of the effectiveness depends on the posture of the protesters, for when not properly executed, the protest might look more like a “sleep-in”. For added realism, simulated wounds are sometimes painted on the bodies, or (usually “bloody”) bandages are used.

    when not properly executed… Ha.

    There is a helpful picture. The two guys in the back right, I don’t think they get this die-in thing at all.

  29. The Ouroboros says:

    Somehow eight faux dead anti-war protestors dont have the same impact as that the anti-smoking commercial’s thousands have…

  30. happyfeet says:

    No kidding. PSAs and stuff seem harmless enough until you get an effective one, then it’s irredeemably spooky.

  31. happyfeet says:

    The TV says it’s bad.

  32. happyfeet says:

    Oh. I think I read you wrong ourobouros. I hate when the TV gets all judgemental is all.

  33. The Ouroboros says:

    I’m not taking sides in the smoking debate.. Just commenting that thousands playing dead catches one’s attention.. The eight or so in the anti-war protest.. well, I’d walk right by them and just assume they were drunken bums sleeping on the sidewalk..

  34. happyfeet says:

    I gotcha. I haven’t actually seen the commercial, cause I hardly ever watch tv unfiltered except when I travel. But my brother did the “have you seen the commercial?” thing on me over Christmas. I felt ganged up on.

    I looked up the die-in thing and was surprised it wasn’t traced to the 60s. This, my friend, is an innovation.
