Republican caucus goers against the war!
Opinion

Exit Iraq? Republicans say "Yes!"

The Nation -- QUESTION: Do you favor a withdrawal of all United States military from Iraq within the next six months?

ANSWER: Yes 52% No 39% Undecided 9%

No, those are not particularly shocking numbers.

We have known for a long time that Americans favor the rapid withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq.

What is interesting about these numbers is who they come from.

The Strategic Vision polling group asked 600 likely Iowa caucus goers the question in a survey conducted March 30-April 1, 2007.

To be more precise, the survey queried 600 likely Republican caucus goers.

<...>

At this point, Bush can't even rally the most engaged Republicans in the nation behind the continuation of quagmire.

1. A majority of these folks want the US out in 6 months... but Dem leaders say a year..
and Hillary says a couple years at least... maybe forever.
So what the f**(%^*( are Dem leaders thinking? Get with the people!

3. TThe Dem leaders are doing the bidding of their corporate masters.
Come meet the new boss. Same as the old boss.

Consider the following things, all supported by numbers of Dems in the last 15 years:
NAFTA
Welfare "reform"
IWR
etc.

The Dem rank & file & a few elected officials--and notably Howard Dean--seem pretty straight & pretty liberal/progressive. That can't be said for a lot of the Dem Power Elite.
