Your still in the wrong post. Go here please…..

The real reason that the MSM avoided this poll is because ORB is a company that has specialized in research for marketing purposes.

Sure thing. I wouldn’t expect any other excuse from a lefty.

What the hell does the President not addressing the poll, the very day it comes out, have anything to do with it? Because of that we should now not believe the poll but instead believe a MSM one?

Wow.

If you already know all that you need to know about me from one sentence I certainly have learned a great deal about you as well.

Cool…then begone back to KOS and stop stinking up the place.

I can not believe though that you are happy about a poll that reports half of the country in Iraq think we and their current Gov’t. run their country worse than Saddam. Shocking. But not as shocking as the fact that you are OK with the fact that half of the people that responded have lost family and friends because it is only half!

Q3 (pg 6) half of the respondents report a family member or friend murdered or kidnapped in the last three years. HALF!

And HALF! didn’t. Truly shocking.

The real reason that the MSM avoided this poll is because ORB is a company that has specialized in research for marketing purposes. The NY Post, Chicago Sun Times and so many other legitimate press reports have included coverage about this poll.

Here is a link to the PResident’s weekly address where he talks about Iraq (2 days ago).

He does not mention it either. Are you going to tell him to go back to KOS? If you already know all that you need to know about me from one sentence I certainly have learned a great deal about you as well.

Less than half of the country believes that they are better off now than under Saddam (did you get that?!) (pg 32)

Yup, 26% believe it was better under Saddam. 1 in 4. Pretty good numbers and a majority would be Baathists I imagine. Your point?

Overall this poll is something you wont find in the MSM because it the majority of it points to real progress.

Q3 (pg 6) half of the respondents report a family member or friend murdered or kidnapped in the last three years. HALF!

And HALF! didn’t. But you obviously didn’t read my whole post to the end where I quoted Tigerhawk:

It is quite extraordinary that one quarter of all Iraqis have had a family member murdered since the toppling of the Ba’athists and still they do not hanker for the way it was.

Exactly! But easily ignored by you.

It is a brand new poll from an organization owned by two different Russian Organizations.

It was founded 13 years ago, hardly brand new.

we have worked successfully with over 150 clients in the private, public and voluntary sectors in over 65 countries. Driven by a team of highly experienced market research professionals with almost 100 years’ combined experience, we are proud to deliver both qualitative and quantitative research at the highest level.

They don’t have an agenda to push, plain and simple. ABC, CNN, USA Today, Zogby, they all have a specific agenda to push. And what the hell is it with MSM outfits doing their own polling.

So in conclusion, your final point:

The MSM may or may not be ignoring news that does not fit their agenda, but this is certainly not a very good example.

Wrong. It’s a great example, and yes the MSM is ignoring news that does not fit their agenda. For you to be hemming and hawing on that point tells me all I need to know about you.

I think KOS is calling you back to the fold.

Q2 (pg 2) asks whether the locals think things would be better immediately after the US pulls out. The answer yes 53% to 26%

Q3 (pg 6) half of the respondents report a family member or friend murdered or kidnapped in the last three years. HALF!

39% said Iraq is far from a Civil War, 49% say that they are in one or close to being one.

Less than half of the country believes that they are better off now than under Saddam (did you get that?!) (pg 32)

32% of those that responded say not one single person in their household has a job of any kind.

And Fox reported on this poll

It is a brand new poll from an organization owned by two different Russian Organizations. It has very mixed results and nobody has ever heard of ORB because until three years ago they did Business Market research only, specializing in Movie Theater Marketing.

The MSM may or may not be ignoring news that does not fit their agenda, but this is certainly not a very good example.

Read that. You will see they mentioned the GoE, not even by name, just as “counterprotesters” and even painted them in a completely bad light as having made a peaceful protester cry by treating her badly and ripping up her sign.

No biased media there. But that is what the average American and international person will know about March 17, 2007 in D.C.

On top of that, as Scott Malensek posted on March 10th, the Left and their PACs control Congress. If we want to not let the Democrats and the left lose this war to Islam, we have to do more than just stand around for one day waving flags and signs and making fun of leftists and make ourselves feel good.

I certainly hope people are not thinking protests are going to make a difference. As someone commented on another site I read regarding this, this GoE was simply a drop of water in an ocean of Leftist, Communist propaganda.

How many of the 30,000 are willing to work 365 days a year like the leftists do in order to save our country by writing and calling Congressmen and by countering the lies and propaganda of the media and by exposing Islam for the evil that it is? My bet is not too many.

But I hope I am wrong.

To me and others I talked with, this was a gathering that released the decades of disgust and personal anguish over our government’s abandonment of over 58,000 American men and women military personnel and those of our allies who died and the other hundreds of thousand who sacrificed to keep South Vietnam free from our mutual enemy. There was little talk of us not being held in high regard on our return, but open emotional displays of unity with those who shared our mission 40 years ago. Whether or not it was recorded, we took the physical and moral high ground today, adjacent to the Lincoln Memorial, overlooking the ANSWER mob and displayed our greater strength with just a portion of our patriot warrior contingent.

Nicely put! You and your brethren did indeed take the moral high ground today and made the communists and cowards look like the fools they really are.

Curt, thank you.
