As I suggested yesterday, public opinion turns out to be strongly against the rabid opinion of major Democratic figures like Senator Durbin and Howard Dean.
The interesting thing about the whole thing is that with the public opinion so strongly against what Sen. Durbin has been saying, it still took him an entire week to ‘apologize’ (he obviously belongs to the Bill Clinton school of apology). Is this because of media slant that won’t report his comments with as much fervor as they report negative rumors about Guantanamo? Because there is not as much short-term feedback between the opinions of the people of the state of Illinois and Senator Durbin as there is during an election year (he’s not up for reelection until 2008 with the rest of his Senate class)? Or is it just that the majority of the people who reject his statements have, like me, given up caring what the frothing-at-the-mouth opponents of every proactive American action say about stuff like this?
All who are apathetic, raise your hands.
