Comments on: Military money, Iraq and Dems http://foodpluspolitics.com/2007/09/14/military-money-iraq-and-dems/ Recipes from scratch and a lot of chatter about food ( plus a little about politics ) Fri, 20 Nov 2009 12:16:15 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: ellaella http://foodpluspolitics.com/2007/09/14/military-money-iraq-and-dems/#comment-401 ellaella Sat, 01 Dec 2007 22:50:48 +0000 http://foodpluspolitics.dreamhosters.com/?p=290#comment-401 Hi, troper - what a lovely surprise! I think most publications, especially those inside the Beltway, have at least a puppy in this fight. That said, the factual material ($$) in the report I linked to is sourced by the FEC. That's good enough for me. In many ways, I think polls -- like radio and TV ratings -- can be made to show anything one wishes. If you read my Likability and Electability post, you might have noticed I linked to the full 21-page poll results for any wishing to read the pure facts and numbers for themselves. Few people have. :( Thanks for the kind words and I hope you'll be back. Hi, troper – what a lovely surprise!

You're very creative and I like your writing style. As Dennis Prager often says, polls and studies either confirm common sense, or they reveal an agenda. Capital Eye is yet to establish that they don't have a dog in this fight (dadmanly.blogspot.com/2007/09/eye-on-military-support.html). Until such time, citations of such a source provide weak support for any political argument. Todd ellaella – I’m really enjoying your blog, and I like your idea of mixing food and politics.
