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.

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.

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

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.

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”.

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.

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.
Comment by proudvastrightwingconspirator on 9/13 @ 12:41 pm #
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!!!!!!!!

Comment by Old Texas Turkey on 9/13 @ 1:00 pm #
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.
Comment by Karl on 9/13 @ 1:14 pm #
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:
Nah, they dismiss Rassmussen as a partisan hack.
Comment by happyfeet on 9/13 @ 1:19 pm #
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.
Comment by Karl on 9/13 @ 1:30 pm #
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.
Comment by JD on 9/13 @ 1:33 pm #
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.

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.

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?

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..
Comment by happyfeet on 9/13 @ 10:28 pm #
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.
