Smart people oppose immediate withdrawl...

[Nederland]

Republicans want more restrictions on civil liberties;

old people don't mind wiretapping;

hardly anyone thinks the government is doing "very well" in the war on terror;

both Republicans and Democrats believe bribery in government is common;

...and nobody cares about the Alito nomination.


All these "facts" and more here:

2. If one more person asks me "What do you have to hide"

3. "smart people oppose immediate withdrawal"

is that stated in these poll results or is that your subjective opinion? I scanned the 32 pages and couldn't see where they factored the "intelligence" of those polled. :shrug:

4. Page 10

People in favor of immediate withdrawl:

37% among College grads
59% among those with no College


This of course, assumes that people who went to college are "smarter" than those that didn't.

6. Agreed

I've known a fair number of idiots with the letters Phd after their name.
