Robinson informs his readers who have not been alive for the last seven years, that the polls all stand against Bush and his policies, and history will be very unkind to Bush.
Start Sidebar: I want a job at a major newspaper spouting off rhetoric and getting paid for my insight that is neither insightful nor useful and is as political and left leaning s Karl Rove is right leaning. End Sidebar.
What brilliance in his column, what insight from a scholar and historian. He defines the best in what we hope for in a reporter, columnist, editorial writer, and an American. I hope his pay check from Soros is large enough to cover his modest lifestyle.
While it may appear that Robinson is a hack for Soros or worse, while his writing is clearly picked up verbatim from a Soros memo, Robinson is not that ignorant - he is a purveyor of his political ideology at the expense of truth.
Here is my poll:
1. Do you believe the direction this country is heading in is positive?
2. Do you agree with the direction we are heading in (country)?
3. Do you think Congress is doing a good job?
4. Do you feel that Congress is doing the best it can?
5. Are Republicans acting like Republicans?
6. Do you support the Republicans in Congress?
7. Do you agree with Bush's position on immigration?
8. Do you agree with Bush's position on trade with Canada?
9. Do you agree with Bush's policy on trade with Mexico?
10. Do you believe the trade agreement with Central American countries will help us?
11. Do you accept Bush's argument in favor of our expanding debt as necessary for war spending?
12. Should we be spending $10-12 billion per month on the war?
13. Do you feel Bush had handled the Iraq war well?
14. Do you agree with bush's Iraq policy in supporting the Iraqi government when they go on vacation, cannot reconcile, troops are abandoning their posts, Americans are being killed, al qaida is still around, bin Laden has never been caught?
15. Do you think Republicans have handled their time in control of Congress well (until 2006)?
Now, a surprise - the answer to all those questions is NO. No no no no no no no no no no no no no no no.
That is it: 100% of those polled oppose Bush. He will go down in ignominy. He is hated. He is loathed. He has failed. Republicans will be wiped out in 2008.
That is Robinson's understanding of the polls.
The truth is more complicated and grown-up than that simple approach.
Bush will not go down in ignominy like Nixon. He will be remembered much better than Clinton by more people around the world. He will be considered a good president if not slightly more. It will take time. And Robinson will never realize how foolish his column was for he will be long gone.
A person who fully supports the basics of the Bush message, and the war, and a strong stand against people who wish to annihilate everything you believe in would also answer each of those questions with a NO.
Stupid questions that lead you to an answer. Grow up Eugene et al.
