It's been noted that the left and right wings of the blogosphere, and the voting public by extension, are working off two different sets of facts. Most (the theory goes) consider only those news stories that support their side of any argument, and wind up working with a warped worldview.
Is that what's going on with Kos here?
Republicans claim they support the troops, yet those very same troops have returned home, and, given the choice, overwhelmingly chosen the Democratic Party.What's that say about the Republicans' supposed "support" of the troops?
Or perhaps I'm mistaken and there some data out there showing Iraq veterans are voting Democratic? I've heard the opposite. Anyone have actual stats?
Update: In October of '04 Rasmussen polled veterans at 58% for Bush vs 35% for Kerry, but nothing specific to Iraq veterans.
