But all the polls taken show between 60 and 70% of Americans object to the location. That can’t just be all “right wing”.

No, but they can be seriously mis-informed.
Miz Blanche said yesterday:
“”Out of respect for the families who lost loved ones in our nation’s worst terrorist attack, if I were making the decision I would prefer that the Mosque be constructed a few blocks away from the World Trade Center site,” Senator Lincoln said. “However, the people of New York City didn’t ask for my opinion and I believe the local community, including family members of 9/11 victims and church leaders, should make that decision together.”

If our elected officials can’t even get their facts straight how can one care what other American’s think about what is basically a local Manhattan issue.

I wonder if polling of anything matters anymore when you read all the mis-information out there about so many issues.
