Invested in Defeat

Interesting poll from Zogby International…
In the Spring of this year, Harry Reid went before the cameras and informed the world that the surge was a complete failure. He joined Speaker Nancy Pelosi and composed a letter stating in no uncertain way that the war was a lost cause. As odd and unpatriotic as many Americans considered that posture to be, there was no doubt that they believed it, and pushed by the internut left, were determined to withdraw from Iraq, consequences be damned.
The Zogby poll shows that 2 out of 3 democrats are in sync with Reid-Pelosi in their belief that the Iraq war is a lost cause, while only one in ten Republicans share in their defeatism.
A majority of Americans - 54% - believe the United States has not lost the war in Iraq, but there is dramatic disagreement on the question between Democrats and Republicans, a new UPI/Zogby Interactive poll shows. While two in three Democrats (66%) said the war effort has already failed, just 9% of Republicans say the same.
The poll comes ahead of a September report to Congress by David Petraeus, commander of the multi-national force in Iraq, on the progress of the so-called surge in quelling attacks by insurgents and creating an atmosphere where the new Iraqi government can develop.
This was pretty interesting too…”While the President’s approval for his handling of the war showed slight gains, Congress remains stuck at just a 3% positive rating for its handling of the war, unchanged from polling last month.”
It’s a long time before election day, and a lot can and will happen. But, any conservative who writes off republican chances in ‘08 based on a lousy showing in 2006 is being just as defeatist in domestic politics as the democrats are being with regards to the war against radical islam.

I lost confidence in Zogby several years ago, but blind squirrels, and all.
I have maintained for months that the current gaggle of goofy Dhimmicrats can’t win the general election, and slowly I’m starting to hear more people share my assessment, including a voice on talk radio today.
Of course, if the Dhimmis ran Zell Miller or Joe Lieberman, that could change.
It is going to be a close race overall. But, what people keep forgetting is that it is actually 50 separate races. This thing is far from decided.
I’m out. Later
So according to the MSM Norman Hsu just fell out of the apple tree in 2004.
He’s named in a congressional investigation in 1998 laundering contributions and he was also involved with the indonesian family that was bribing Bill Clinton to protect their coal interests.

Nuke,
My e-mail to you bounced. ????
Morning y’all.
Beto, that was quite the informative link on the Clintoons serial fundraising.
All I got to say is Run, Hillary, Run. It’s a lead pipe cinch for any Repub that runs then IMHO. Too many Demos can’t stand her from KOS kids to conservative dems.
Hey keep!
What’s up brudder?
Not only is she unliked by many in both parties, I think the fact that she is the clear front runner is emblematic of the Dhimmis chances, overall. Will the divergent, seething groups that comprise the left actually vote for the winners of their respective races, if their pet candidates aren’t on their ballots? Many indications that they won’t.
K&B, long time no see.
Just got back in town.
What’s up n2l?
Hey, nuke.
Thought you were in the RV headed down to Starkville.
Check out those vids I posted over at Katrina.

I’m busy fixing dinner, salmon croquets, so I can watch the Tigers and Dogs. I have no ill will to the Dogs, but have been a Tiger fan since a wee lad.

Oh my. the video from the Beau is pretty amazing stuff. We lost power about 8:30 am just as reports were coming in that the 1st floor of the Beau went under water.
Great find, n2l
Easy find, nuke.

That poor slub vowing to always run…I can’t imagine the feelings of fear and despair they must have been feeling.
