Unfortunately for Boehlert and others like him, evidently Limbaugh is right yet again. According to this article from World Net Daily, the terrorists really are hoping Americans will sweep in Democrat majorities in the House and Senate. "The terrorists told WorldNetDaily an electoral win for the Democrats would prove to them Americans are 'tired.'" Well, why wouldn't they think Americans are "tired"? That's all they've been hearing from Democrats and the press for months.
Interestingly,
They rejected statements from some prominent Democrats in the U.S. that a withdrawal from Iraq would end the insurgency, explaining an evacuation would prove resistance works and would compel jihadists to continue fighting until America is destroyed.
Seems like Republicans, including the President, have been saying for a year now that if we cut and run as suggested by Democrats like John Murtha that the terrorists would be emboldened and would simply come here to get us.
Well, it's good to know that the terrorists agree with a New York Times/CBS poll which says:
A substantial majority of Americans expect Democrats to reduce or end American military involvement in Iraq if they win control of Congress next Tuesday, and say Republicans would maintain or increase troop levels to try to win the war if they hold on to power on Capitol Hill, according to the final New York Times/CBS News poll before the midterm election.
But don't point out that Rush Limbaugh already noted who the terrorists want to win.

ReplyDeleteAnd of course, the terrorists have such a reputation for honesty and fair dealing that you naturally believe everything they say.
Good grief. Why?
Why do you want to believe that terrorists who want to attack the US are naturally going to tell the truth about who they want to win the election?
You don't think that they're smart enough to realise that their public support for any party will be damaging to that party, and to publicly support the party they want to lose? After all, the Bush administration and the unquestioning support a Republican-controlled congress has given him, has been the best possible help al-Qaeda could have hoped for: naturally, they wouldn't want any part of that to come to an end.
Not that I think "what terrorists want" should affect US voters in the slightest. Unlike you (or Rush Limbaugh) my position is that voters should vote for the person or that party who best represents their interests: you may feel that you need to know who al-Qaeda wants you to vote for, and believe them when they tell you because you don't think al-Qaeda would lie to you, but I think that's a dangerous road to go down. If I'd seen this before the election, I'd have said: "Just ignore them: vote your own conscience."
