[Peace-discuss] Pointless primary

[Jenifer Cartwright]

Ah yes, another example of our ill-informed electorate. And folks on this very list were arguing some months back w/ posts describing joe sixpack in those terms??

NH Voters Thought McCain Opposed the Iraq War?
Wednesday, January 9th, 2008 in News by James Bovard

CNN crunched the exit poll data from yesterday’s New Hampshire primary 
and found that “among the 34 percent [of Republican primary voters] who 
said they disapproved of the war, McCain had a wide advantage over the 
GOP field — even over Texas Rep. Ron Paul, the sole advocate of a U.S. 
withdrawal in the Republican field.” (hat tip to Think Progress).

Perhaps such voters did not realize the temporal difference between 
exiting Iraq ”now” (in Ron Paul’s case) versus 10,000 years from now (in 
McCain’s case, according to his comment on CBS’s Face the Nation last week).

McCain has rarely missed a chance to grovel at Bush’s feet to support 
the Iraq war...
