100 percent of Americans want out of Iraq. The number differs when you throw in the words "when the time is right". Your 70 percent figure is questionable given this qualification.

Definately Not !!!!! We may as well be living in a dictatorship with Bush for president .He has never cared what the American people think . He cares what is good for Geoege Bush and his rich friends . How this man ever became president in the first place is beyond me . How he ever got re-elected is absolutely flabbergasting . Thank GOD we only have one more year of his idiotic policies . By then we'll be doing good if we can ever recover from his corruption .

Consider - if 70% of Americans want out of Iraq - why in hell are the majority of front running candidates from both parties not running on a withdrawal platform? They are well aware that most Americans - contrary to the far left rhetoric and poles (remember the exit poles during the last presidential election?) - want a victory in Iraq. They are not buying into MoveOn's agenda of total defeat or their slur campaigns.
It is indeed a government of the people - witness the defeat of the amnesty bill despite all of the initaial support from both our president and our representatives.
Americans like winners and people whose objectives are to win - not turn tail and abandon yet another country and the people who have supported us.
Don't buy into the BS and smeer ads presently being distributed by the far left loonys - Americans want a victory over this ideology of hatred and domination.

Yes. But "The People" has been redefined as "The People Who Count." Which means that if your last name ain't "Incorporated," you're screwed.

Oh come now, Burma F. I can see you being against Dems. But Public Orgies? I mean, what's wrong with that--as long as management is privatised?

This ceased to be a government for the people, by the people when the Nixon administration was dealt a coup d'etat - no matter what the Washington Post had you believe.

Yep. You can still vote for anyone you want.

Too bad the Democrats lied about the agenda and wasted their chance to make a difference.

Maybe the worst part is that they didn't even manage to 'get Bush'. And if they are seen as pulling the rug out from under the troops? They're liable to lose the Senate again.

No, further evidence is our government's inaction concerning illegal immigration.

The Democrats and Republicans are failing to represent the will of the people.

That is 70% of United Statesians not Americans.

United Statesians are only 30% of Americans, so 70\% of United Statesians would be 200 million, about 22% of Americans.

Of course we are.

What you fail to take into account is that such statistics can be misleading. The statistics do not rate the opinions to determine how strongly-held they are

How many of those 70% are of the "uh, yea it's probably time to leave" variety? As opposed to the radical "troops out now!" variety.

When a majority of Americans favors a particular course of action STRONGLY ENOUGH it is quite able to defeat the will of the political Establishment, as evidenced recently by the Amnesty issue
