    @behindthecurtain

    Glenn has provided ample blogs showing that the very protectors of far-right, hawk profiteers got more than enough help from the left, despite Congressional and, even now, maybe Presidential elections.

    -- behindthecurtain

    I reiterated that point in my introduction to the poll. In fact that is the only part of the article that I copy/pasted: the fact that the congress, and all other powers that be, are not listening to The People. The poll clearly stated that The People believe too much is spent on the military. I wasn't saying that that poll (and many others like it that no doubt show the same conclusion) proves that your comment is false, but it does speak loudly that the conclusion you'd come to in your comment was and is not entirely the case.
