Brothers Dan and Brian wrote earlier this week about the pushback the Obamanauts are encountering in their efforts to shut down Gitmo and ship the terrorists into the US. It seems that unbelievable assertions such as Rep. Adam Schiff’s (D-CA) blathering that terrorists should get the “same due process as our own troops” and that somehow trying to keep terrorists out of America is a slam against corrections officers are beginning to chip away at the public’s willingness to accept a Gitmo shutdown.
I just ran across this April 3rd Rasmussen survey indicating that Americans are overwhelmingly opposed to shipping Gitmo terrorists into our country. Seventy-five percent of Americans oppose this terrorist relocation program, with only thirteen percent in favor. In addition, the public overwhelmingly opposes the Gitmo Terrorist Welfare Program proposed by National Intelligence (?) Director Dennis Blair.
Just 36% now agree with the president’s decision to close the prison camp for suspected terrorists at the Guantanamo Naval Base in Cuba. Forty-six percent (46%) oppose closing the prison camp, and 18% are undecided.
This marks an eight-point drop in support for Obama’s decision since he announced it in late January when voters were almost evenly divided on the issue. Last November, only 32% thought the prison should be closed.
The opposition to shipping Gitmo refugees back to the US appears to be across the political spectrum, although the Democrats continue to show blind allegiance to Obama and his policies.
