1. Please note that GOPUSA polls are not scientific.
Edited on Tue Feb-01-05 11:54 AM by liberal N proud
They are pure propaganda for the sake of selling the GOP agenda.
On edit
Notice they are asking who should be the DNC Chair
Why is it any concern of theres?

11. why just read the results ...go & TAKE the poll here......
http://www.gopusa.com/activist/pollvault/

In light of the elections in Iraq, was the U.S. military action to overthrow Saddam Hussein justified?

Yes. Intelligence reports indicated Saddam posed a threat to the region because of weapons of mass destruction.

Yes. Overthrowing Saddam Hussein was justified because he was a vicious tyrant, and the Iraqi people deserved better.

Yes. It is the role of the U.S. to spread democracy throughout the world.

No. Without WMDs, the U.S. had no reason to invade Iraq.

No. Regardless of WMDs, the U.S. should not have invaded Iraq.

7. Yeah I read that too
He's a good person to point at when you want to get an idea of what Republicans would like to see in a "fair and balanced media."

3. I particularly like this quote...
"He violated all 17 UN resolutions and then some."...

Don'cha just LOVE it when they use the *UN* to justify the invasion?

8. If violating UN resolutions is justification for invasion
when are we going into Israel? And if the UN sucks and is worthless as conservatives say it is, then why would they validate any of their resolutions? And why is it so fucking easy to refute anything that originates from the brain of a dumbass bush supporter?

5. Wonder if the percentages would have been the same
going from highest to lowest if the answers were:

1) I'm really fuckin' stupid
2) I'm mostly stupid
3) I'm just a litle stupid

6. Anyone notice this:
"Yes. Intelligence reports indicated Saddam posed a threat to the region because of weapons of mass destruction"

To the REGION? As in the Middle East?

I thought it was OUR security we were protecting!

16. Agreed, the point I was trying to make is that even the CIA is now
admitting there are and were no WMDs. For these fools to use a choice in their "poll" stating there are is contradicting the final determination of their source for the information.

17. Remember this headline from before the election?
http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/commentary/la-oe-scheer19oct19,1,6540113.column?coll=la-home-utilities

"It is shocking: The Bush administration is suppressing a cia report on 9/11 until after the election, and this one names "names. Although the report by the inspector general's office of the cia was completed in June, it has not been made "available to the congressional intelligence committees that mandated the study almost two years ago.

"It is infuriating that a report which shows that high-level people were not doing their jobs in a satisfactory manner before 9/11 is being suppressed," an intelligence official who has read the report told me, adding that "the report is potentially very embarrassing for the administration, because it makes it look like they weren't interested in terrorism before 9/11, or in holding people in the government responsible afterward."

When I asked about the report, Rep. Jane Harman (D-Venice), ranking Democratic member of the House Intelligence Committee, said she and committee Chairman Peter Hoekstra (R-Mich.) sent a letter 14 days ago asking for it to be delivered. "We believe that the cia has been told not to distribute the report," she said. "We are very concerned."

18. Yup, but it's a different report going by the description.
Won't alter the right-winger "logic" though.

12. Somebody's not getting the message --
only 3% say that spreading democracy is the proper role for the US. Wasn't that the theme of *s coronation speech?

15. Whoa!!
It is becoming increasingly clear that President Bush made the absolutely correct decision in this invasion.

Nobody can even argue against it anymore.

20. That's actually pretty interesting -- even RW nuts don't agree with Bush
Only 3% said that "It is the mission of the US to spread democracy in the world". That sure sounded like what Bush was advocating in his Inaugural address. Apparently even the pea-brains realize it's a bit of an overreach!
