New Poll

Given how politically charged the phrase "support the troops" is, I was thinking that I've never seen a poll where the question was stated as simply as possible.

So, do you support the troops? Answer on the sidebar.

Not only that, I am pro-education and anti-crime.

I think most people support those boys that stuck over there. The politicians are the people who do not support the troops, and frankly, I think these pro-endless war fascists in Washington could give a shit about those poor guys. So in a word, yes I support the troops & like Joe, I like public education.

What a ridiculous idea for a poll. Everyone would say yes, unless they were bullshitting.

Even if someone legitimately said they didn''t support, what reason would they have for taking that position?

Joshua... that's kind of the point. To show how meaningless the phrase "support the troops" really is.

Thanks for giving me a chance to vote, finally. No, I don't support war or troops, except unwillingly when I pay taxes. War is for losers and no one wins a war. And the Iraq "war" ended long ago. It's been an occupation fueled by U.S. foreign fighters for years.
