Which is Bush handling worse?

Couldn't have said it better myself.
Also, when you draw conclusions from something that was a vote of 10-8 ("SEE I WAS COMPLETELY RIGHT!!!!") that immediately discredits whatever the hell else you're talking about. What's the margin of error of a sample of 18? I'm willing to guess it's higher than +/- 5.5%.

Is this why Conservatives on this forum think America won the Vietnam war?

I'm a liberal, and I think the US won the Vietnam War. The US completely devastated the country. They didn't want the dominos to fall, or didn't want a threat of a good example (which is really what the domino analogy amounts to) and with a decimated country there was no way it would be a good example for anything. Other than a good example of what happens to a leftist country when it leans too far left.

pro bush and the domestic spending. I still support the war in principle but it is getting harder and harder for me to support it in execution.

You make a faulty assumption that all conservatives are pro-Bush and pro-Iraq.

"The poll confirms several things that I suspected."

When a researcher says that, it shows how severely biased he has been in his research.

"Conservatives understand that you have to go through good and bad to succeed in a war. Things are never perfect, but the goal must be pursued."

This is not shown in the poll's results. A different and equally valid interpretation would be that conservatives are prone to pursue a mistaken war strategy to its bitter end, even though the objective is not to be consistent but to win! However, both this and your interpretation of the data would be abritrary.

"Democrats are the anti-war party regardless of the worthy goals being pursued."

This remark is supported by other data but not by your poll. All that your poll shows is that those that are anti-Bush consider the war in Iraq to be a bigger bungle than Bush's spending policies. It does not show, in and by itself, whether or not the Democrats are "the anti-war party".

"Republicans are the party of fiscal concern (100% for spending restraint)."

This remark is supported by other data but not by your poll. Again, all that your poll shows is that those that are anti-Bush consider the war in Iraq to be a bigger bungle than Bush's spending policies, something that the pro-Bush crowd does not agree with.

You probably forgot you have not made your choices to be Dems, Republicans and Other- ---but pro-bush, anti-Bush and neutral-Bush. In other words, you are drawing conclusions that are simply not there. (FYI, there are Democrats that are pro-Bush and Republicans that are anti-Bush out there. Or did you not know that?)

"The neutrals mirror the anti-Bush. (Liberals who don't want to call themselves liberal?) [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]"

You may smirk but this is actually quite an arbitrary remark! From the posts we read on this forum, one could say that most of the neutral-Bush crowd would probably be Libertarians.

Do you believe perhaps that Libertarians are liberals who don't want to admit it? [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

So - congratulations.

You have managed to f*uck it all up almost perfectly. I can't wait for your next poll. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
