An indication
Reading news reports from Crawford TX. this holiday, one would think that the “dueling protests” of war and anti-war supporters were evenly matched. Each viewpoint seemed to have been given the same weighting in the stories, however, once the size of the crowds is mentioned, a great disparity between opinions was revealed. While the numbers are not huge, the proportions are quite revealing.
Supporters of the war numbered approximately 12 people and anti-war supporters numbered over 200. If one were to apply these number to the nation as a whole, which seems fair to do, the percentage of Americans against the war is well over 90%.
Any wonder why the Republicans are bailing on Bush?
