What does it mean when 60% of America supports Pelosi's "Troops Home" bill?

Question

To me, it means the troops are coming home whether Bush likes it or not.

WealthyTaxPayer - the pain you are going through is the pain of realizing that it's all over for wealthy tax payers. Poor people fighting wars for your oil, poor people cowering in fear when you tell them about their new "enemy", poor people fighting amongst themselves when you sell their democratic birthright.

You are right to fear for the future of "your" country. Because it means America is about to become a real democracy for the first time.

u_bin, if I said 60% plus or minus 3 percent, would that make you happier? Or do you rank statistics up there with evolution and quantum physics...the "liberal" sciences?

Answer 1

It may mean the end of the repuglican party, I hope.

Answer 2

When did the people vote on that bill? For the last 230 years only the legislature votes on bills. You must be living in a parallel universe.
If the Democrats had supported the 'Highly successful liberation' of Iraq from the evil Iraqi government we wouldn't now be fighting WITH the 'democratically elected Iraqi government against the insurgents' or do you also believe that the french and Indian war, The American Revolution and the War of 1812 were all the same war just because they happened in the same country.
42000 people die each year in car accidents. You don't hear that statistic every day by the new media. That doesn't include Air crashes, motor cycle crashes, or truck crashes.

Answer 3

All it does is prove the Media can influence the average person to believe **** does not stink. Someday the majority will again regain their intelligence and get rid of the Media control of this country along with the nitwit dumycrats that swept into office because of the smoke screen. Do not forget the same Media said predicted Kerry was going to defeat Bush and even more republicans were going to loses office. People need to look at both directions on the news and not the one sided reports given on nightly news and daily papers. The left wing has taken over the media and the Public needs to take it back.

Answer 4

It means that a majority of people and their representitives in Congress want to bring the troops home. They want to do it in a phased in way. It puts Bush between a rock and a hard place because if he signs it the troops won't be there as long as he would like and other things (oink). If he vetos than there will be no money for his war and he can be seen as not supporting the troops. This may be the only way to make him listen to the people.

Answer 5

Congress doesn't have the power to force the troops to come home, and its political suicide to actually cut the funding. Bush has 2 years left in office and honestly nothing will change until the elections, and thats only assuming the person elected wants to begin a withdrawl... This is all just acting on both sides. So what does it mean? It means more of the status quo...

Answer 6

Hahahaha. Maybe you forgot the veto. Let's see then what Pelosi has to do. It'll never happen. The troops will come home when it is in our best interest and not before. I cannot understand for the life of me why you guys want to own the defeat label. Did you learn nothing from Vietnam?

Answer 7

It means that someone took the time to thoroughly explain the complete content of the bill to every person in "America" and that 6 out of 10...or roughly 190 million...said they supported the bill....

Such an enterprise would have taken several decades to conduct. Since the likelihood is that your numbers are derived from a "sampling" survey, you are basing your opinion on an estimation of an approximation.

Surveys are imperfect excercises...This is why those seeking to inform present them with disclaimers and those pushing an agenda do not.

Answer 8

It means you are no longer a long-haired freaky person. You're now just a long-haired person.

Or we're all freaky people.

Regrettably, it probably means an all-out Sunni-Shiite (and proxy Saudi-Iranian) war will begin a little sooner in Iraq than if we stayed indefinitely, and the Turkish-Kurdish war will also begin sooner than if we were willing to stick around. Unfortunately, I think all we would do by staying would be delay those wars -- not prevent them.

I'd like to win in Iraq, but I just don't believe it's possible.

Answer 9

Hey Wealthytaxpayer - Just want to say thank you for being wealthy and paying taxes. I am not wealthy and appreciate the share you pay. More than that, I understand the share you pay.

I best thing I heard today - the little sidebar today about abortion eventually wiping out the libs !

Answer 10

First Pelosi is .......well, you know what Pelosi is. Second, like in most American households Pelosi controls the purse strings but has no influence on the decisions. I wish those idiots would understand that by publicly denouncing our presence in Iraq they are just lending aid and support to the enemy. Bush's plan is starting to work and the Dems are scared to death we will succeed. It seems as though they would rather see thousands more people die that lose the election (a forgone conclusion) in 2008.

You want us out of Iraq, fine, do it with letters and votes, in private, not banging on your chest in public. Vietnam would have been over for us in 1972 and we would have walked away with our heads high had the public supported us instead of siding with the enemy.

It's true what is said of history, those that fail to learn from it, repeat it.

Answer 11

Uhhh.... Is this another one of your CNN polls? I bet if I went to say the military base in fort Knox and asked all of the troops there they would support finishing the job.

These polls you reads are pointless. They ask say 2,000 people in specific environments and then you all eat it up like it's fact.

Also with consideration that FOX is the "conservative" station, they are not watching CNN all the time to catch these internet polls that they are giving.

You're blind sided by theory. You cannot take a majority liberal or democratic viewed news stations polls to heart because if it is watched by the majority of these people... Of course the majority vote is going to go against the opposing parties favor.
