Repukes pounce on Obama and Hillary for their votes ... but public supports the Dems' position

From NBC's Mark Murray

Well, the GOP knives are out after Clinton's and Obama's vote against the Iraq supplemental last night. Said McCain in a statement: "I was very disappointed to see Senator Obama and Senator Clinton embrace the policy of surrender by voting against funds to support our brave men and women fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan. This vote may win favor with MoveOn and liberal primary voters, but it's the equivalent of waving a white flag to al Qaeda."

Added Romney: "At a time when the men and women of our military fighting terrorism around the globe needed them most, Senators Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama cast a vote that singularly defines their lack of leadership and serves as a glaring example of an unrealistic and inexperienced worldview on national security that is regrettably shared by too many of their fellow Capitol Hill Democrats."

Those comments on Clinton and Obama will obviously play well with GOP primary voters. But the general public? Maybe not so much. A new New York Times/CBS poll finds that 76% believe things are going badly in Iraq; another 76% say the troop surge has made no impact or has made things worse; and 63% believe the US should set a date for withdrawing troops next year.

ANYTHING BUT CRAP CARS" Romney to be on the opposite side of the American people on this.

Both were in Tulsa this week for fund raisers, and I can't tell you how sickening it was to see all the cars with pro-life stickers, W stickers, etc., on them.

Oh, they were greeted outside the Bank of America Tower (the events were held at The Summit Club on the top floor), by PROTESTORS!

"STOP HALLIBURTON!"

"Impeach Bush and Cheney"

"IRAQ=A GOP WAR"

"Bush Lied, Our Troops Died"

etc.

I smell BS...and no one is really caring what they have to say. It'll make for good pundit news when Obama and Clinton say something back...but in the end it's irrelevant.

obama and Hillary really took the cowardly position :eyes:
