I am so pissed with the wording of this Gallup Poll Question....

[expatriot]

The Question: Is Building Democracy in Other Countries an Important Foreign Policy Goal?

And then they break down the respondents by political ideology, the results make it look like conservatives support democracy in other countries while liberals oppose it. Obviously, liberals oppose the militaristic occupation of countries and the installing of puppet democracies. But the question is so general that that distinction is not made. How can we win when the media is so f---ing willfully ignorant?

1. What a Non-Question! Can mean anything to anybody!

Like asking: Do you support good things and oppose bad things?

2. "You don't hate children, do you?" "Are you for or against cancer?"

Gallup's relevance is dropping in the era of Gannon. Who needs polls when you can drive facts directly in people's minds? (so to speak)

3. I'd always tell them I were Repub and answer like a Democrat :)

4. But what would you answer to this one? You hate democracy?

There's no "PNAC BS!" option.

7. Is Building Democracy in Other Countries an Important Foreign Policy

Goal?

No.

No, damnit! Where have I said I hate democracy? I'm just stating that it's not my job to "build" it in other countries!

5. Is this really a Gallup question?

Gallup is usually better than this...

I mean, they could have asked:
"Do the benefits of building democracy throughout the world outweigh the costs?" or something like that.

8. Do I support the building of Democracy in foreingn nations? Yes, I do.

Do I support unecessary wars and killing to get to that place? No.

9. I hate freedom, puppies and ice cream sundaes.

What an idiotic question. These so-called pollsters need to go back to school and take lessons on how to craft questions that don't make such blatant assumptions in their very wording.
