Yeah QM that statement is real popular now a days but not only is it not true in terms of the people but mathmatically is so far off its not even funny, but of course people like statistics like they like "polls" because they sound convincing even though they are total bullshit so carry on I guess im sure it will fool some...for now

Statistics is nothing more than mathmatical masterbation

Funny how you can use two diametrically opposed items to put a spin on anything.

Cigarettes = bad
healthcare = good

taxes = bad
Children = good

or mathmatically:

Children + healthcare = cigarettes + taxes

You have to favor one side of the issue over the other. This has been made into a polarized issue of Big Tobacco versus children; when it is much more complex than that. John Q. Public will not see the larger issues at stake and instead see Bush's veto as a "favor" for Big Tobacco.

It's obvious, right? Why else would he veto something as popular as this bill, at a time when his popularity is at its lowest and he would do anything for public approval? It would seem like a no-brainer.

So, perhaps there are other issues at stake here more than what is being represented by the media.
