I didn't watch the Republican debate, because well I've lost interests in the all the debates, Democrat and Republican.
But I did turn on Fox News after the debate to catch the saviors of American media, Hannity and Colmes, to question the candidates. The only one I did catch was Ron Paul, who Sean Hannity has obvious problems with because Paul isn't a militant jingoist. While questioning Ron Paul, Hannity commented on the Fox News poll that said 1 in 5 Democrats thought the world would be better if the US lost in Iraq.
Ok, first off what a stupid question to ask. The poll is an obvious way for Fox News to inflame Republicans into thinking Democrats are "defeatists" and unpatriotic. They don't mention that 1 in 20 Republicans and 1 in 14 Independents thought the world would be better if the US lost. Looks like the "defeatist" viewpoint is even soaking into the Republican party.
The rest of the poll asks stupid questions like have you ever prayed for the president, etc. Who cares, Fox really can't come up with better, more insightful questions. All these polls do is divide people. Using average Americans' opinions to create controversy and further divide the country is just plain wrong. Obviously Fox News forgot the importance of "United we stand, divided we fall".
Here's the entire poll if you want to come up with your own analysis. Fox Poll
