Knowing the media, these "swing voters" are probably mostly Democrats, so article is probably a distortion. But I - a Bush voter - share a concern voiced by one of them: Just what is our exit strategy in Iraq? I don't see one. We seem to be floundering, with huge segments of the country not in the control of US or the new government, but under "insugents'" control. We've toppled Saddam. How long do we have to stay, and what will the criteria be for being able to leave?
Ever read an article that says so much but says nothing?
well this doesnt sound good
I have a hard time disagreeing with her.
“Young guys are getting killed over there for nothing,” said Wanda Blakeney, a 49-year-old cook."
These clearly are dem statements. Killed for nothing? What a small minded person she must be!
Ths piece seems quite slanted if you ask me. Most of the people are Anti-Bush except for one. All the little Dan Rathers are still reporting to the world.
Yes, on re-reading it, you're right.
Where do these guys get these things..South Carolina isnt even in play...so why bother with a report over "swing voters" in South Carolina?
It is my firm opinion that anyone who can't see the necessity of the Iraq war is too stupid/ignorant/blind to take part in politics.
You, of course, are first on that list.
This Columbia, SC Rag of a paper, the State, is the NY Times and LA Times of South Carolina. They stink up the place with the biased BS they mostly print...only good for training a dog.
You're probably right. Still, a lot of people are uneasy about the war, and not just liberals. I hear it every day. I think it's a good thing the election's coming up in six weeks. If it were being held a year from now and nothing changed in Iraq, I think he would be in trouble. Hopefully some of the posters are right and he's just waiting until the election to make big changes, because something needs to be done.
What is our exit strategy? That's a different question from the "necessity" for getting in to begin with.
This "exit strategy" BS is likely just election year nonsense.
Yes, this could be a serious problem for W in SC. It could push his margin of victory all the way down to 23 points!!!!!
Puleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeze!!!!!
Just out of curiosity, what sort of exit strategery do you think you should be seeing from your living room? Do you honestly believe that all aspects of our war planning should be crystal clear to even the most casual observer?
How is "homeland security" promoted by Bush's open-borders policy that lets in illegal aliens? Most if not all of the 9-11 terrorists were here illegally, according to some accounts.
Draft. Draft! DRAFT!!!
