I know I should probably stop reading these things lest I suffer a complete nervous breakdown. Those who don't learn from history, though...
I find this chart incredibly galling. It's from the so-called Pipa Study from October 21. The entire thing can be viewed here in PDF form.
It's sad, really, and reflects what I've been hearing from people who voted Bush, complete misunderstanding of the issues. The whole report is full of such disturbing news and, before you go all nutso, the survey showed that Kerry voters had a much better understanding of the facts. The beliefs on Iraq alone make me want to cry.
I thought you'd be interested to hear this...
I have an intern. She's 24 and her husband is an Army Ranger currently serving in Afghanistan. He'll be there another month, then come back home for three months, then head to Iraq for three months. After that, his active military duty will be over.
Two nights ago, he called my intern, and immediately asked "So Who Won?"
"Bush" she said.
"Shit!" said her husband, a four-year serviceman, not to mention a Republican.
So much for that theory that soldiers love Bush... and that the troops hate Kerry.
