Sen. Carl Levin (D-Mich.), :

•  ”We’re not going to vote to cut funding, period.”
• Levin suggested that the more far-reaching bill, co-sponsored by Sens. John Kerry (D-Mass.) and Russell Feingold (D-Wisc.) would not go anywhere if it contains measures to cut funding. “Harry Reid acknowledged that that’s not going to happen. He has a personal position, which he said was not the caucus position. He was very clear when he joined a bill which would cut off funding under certain circumstances.”

Sen. Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.) :

• “And by the way, 70 percent of the American people feel it’s misguided. If a change in strategy means not supporting the troops, then 70 percent of the American people don’t support the troops.”

Um, no it doesn’t.  It means that 70% of 900 people surveyed said they felt it was misguided.
