Every Democrat Should Memorize These Numbers

You see it all the time -- some neofascist will be on television "debating" someone who opposes the Iraq War, and this neofascist will inevitably say that any American who wants the US to get out of Iraq is an idiot and should not be listened to. How should the war opponent respond? But running off these numbers from the latest Washington Post poll (summarized by Kevin Drum):

78% think George Bush is too unwilling to change policies in Iraq.

55% support legislation to withdraw from Iraq by next spring.

55% trust congressional Democrats on the war (only 32% trust Bush).

62% think Congress should have the final say about when to withdraw troops.

49% think Democrats have done too little to get Bush to change his Iraq policy (only 17% think they've done too much).

It's pretty easy -- most Republicans are outside the mainstream when it comes to Iraq, and that point must be driven home at every possible opportunity.
