Dems out of touch on Iraq

Gateway Pundit:

You won't see this on the front page of the New York Times!

Town Hall had this bit of news up today on the "Cut and Run" Amending Democrats and not surprisingly the Democrats continued to solidify the public's view that they are horribly weak on defense after their latest fiasco:

1.) When Dems Sens. criticize Bush's policy on Iraq, does it help/hurt morale of troops in Iraq?

68% Hurts
14% Helps

2.) When Dems criticize Bush's policy on Iraq, do you think they are trying to gain partisan advantage or believe it will help US' efforts in Iraq?

52% Gain political advantage
30% Think will help

3.) Should US military withdraw troops immediately regardless of impact, as Iraq meets goals, or set fixed publicaly avail timetable for withdrawal?

50% as goals met
15% withdraw
29% timetable

These numbers suggest what many Republicans have been privately saying for a week now: Democrats have classically overreached on the Iraq issue. Not only have they gone farther than the American people are willing to go, but they have been so wrongheaded about their approach that they have unified a Republican party that only days ago was fissured on domestic issues.

Who ever orchestrated this fiasco...Pelosi? Reid? Kerry?...is quite possibly the world's worst political strategist.
The poll question should be, "Do You want to lose in Iraq?" That is the question that should be put to every Democrat who backs the Murtha strategy. It should also be put the the American people.
