Nearly 1 in 5 Democrats Say World Will Be Better Off if U.S. Loses War

[joelunchbox 0]

NEW YORK — Nearly one out of every five Democrats thinks the world will be better off if America loses the war in Iraq, according to the FOX News Opinion Dynamics Poll released Thursday.

The percentage of Democrats (19 percent) who believe that is nearly four times the number of Republicans (5 percent) who gave the same answer. Seven percent of independents said the world would be better off if the U.S. lost the war.

Overall, 11 percent of Americans think the world would be "better off" if the U.S. lost the war, and 73 percent disagree.

Opinion Dynamics Corp. conducted the national telephone poll of 900 registered voters for FOX News from Sept. 25 to Sept. 26. The poll has a 3-point margin of error.

If anyone actually uses the word "loses" they are a bunch of idiots.

However..I have to ask, were they asked if the world would be better if we left? or if we lost?

big difference.

This war is chewing us up economically, and militarily. If our goal is to train to be the best anti-insurgency force in the world, I guess we are succeeding in that.

If you are serving in Iraq or have family in Iraq, I salute you. All of us chairborn rangers either better shut up or contribute to the effort.

People who responded to the poll this way are the ones that have been knocked down by lifes trials and are laying there with their hand out waiting for someone to help them up.

Did you really just write that? How exactly, do you know these 900 poll respondents are all waiting for a handout?

Next time pay attension to the woooooshing sound going over your head. Avoiding and cherry picking my point with comments such as this shows either ignorance or anger. Probably both.

Are all your posts always this incoherent?

If you didnt understand my point you could have ask to "please clarify". But no, you just couldnt resist the oppurtunity to call me incoherant. My point is well made here! The avoidance of my point is classic.

Technically speaking I didn't say YOU were incoherent...I said your POSTS were incoherent.

Big difference. Semantics and spelling obviously aren't your forté.

It's too bad junior didn't learn anything from his dad. Senior Bush knew that by going to Baghdad and eliminating the current regime, this exact scenario would play out. It's one thing to destroy a military and say "mission accomplished", it's quite another to destroy an insurgency. The Soviet Union had no problems rolling across Afghanistan. It was afterwards where they ran in to problems. Pretty easy to destroy a tank that you know is your enemy. Try taking out a group that blends in with the rest of the population. I'm sure the Soviet Union wasn't exactly abiding by the Geneva Convention either and they still left Afghanistan with their tails between their legs.

I don't see any real purpose in this poll except to perpetuate the polarizing effect of a two party state and further create the impression that democrats are unpatriotic which is patently absurd.

Your absolutely right Matt! You just keep fightin the good fight. The object of what you and your fellow soldiers are doing is heroic to me. I cant speak for people who voted to send you there and are now defecting. Children are used here as weapon.The children they speak of are not the ones you pictured. What would the expression of Hillary Clinton be if you could put an m-16 in her hand and smack her a$$ right down there in the the middle of the shite she voted for? The only thing purple she would get is? Well you know.

Cya.

It's widely known here that liberalism = communism = anti America = terrorism, while conservativism = God = family = country. I think there's a mathematical formula to back that up.

Creative accounting, works great for Bush, Enron and Haliburton.
