Oh...okay, I understand your point now...and I agree.
If the dems could get a clear picture from the polls what Americans wanted, they would do it...but, I think they know that the polls are not reliable enough to put out a "Murtha" every week...
Look at what happened when they did....thinking that the polls were "ripe" for a "pull out now" campaign...it bit them in the butt.
So...now they backtrack and say they didn't mean to leave NOW, but in the near future....and their rhetoric is taking on the exact "plan" that had been put out months ago by the Pentagon as far as drawing down the extra troops that were sent in for the elections...etc...
But, the dems will so how this goes for a week or two...and then, right before the Christmas recess....they will stick their fingers in the wind...and make some kind of dramatic statement or whatever, in order to get the "talking points" set for the month or so that the GOP won't be in Washington to dispute their probable bogus plan.
That's right. When you base your agenda on shifting sands like the liberals do, then the polls help you swing and sway and twirl :)
there's a really old song that goes
"first you say you will, and then you won't, then you say you do, and then you don't.......
Like the song, sorta like trying to figure out the national will through polls....we'll never get a straight answer. Just do what's right and pray for the best!
