We're shocked!

Democrats have given Saddam Hussein a shocking vote of confidence in the latest Fox News Opinion Dynamics survey, with a solid plurality saying the world would be better off if the Butcher of Baghdad was still in power.
Forty-one percent of Democrats gave Saddam a thumbs up, while just 34 percent said Iraq is better served with the murderous dictator gone, reports the New York Post.
In stark contrast, 78 percent of Republicans said toppling the mass-murdering leader left everyone better off. Just 10 percent said they wished Saddam still ruled Iraq.
On the question of whether President Bush lied to the American people about Saddam's weapons of mass destruction, 72 percent of Democrats say he did.
Seventy-nine percent of Republicans disagreed, however -- saying that Bush gave the American people the best intelligence he had at the time.
Insanity
Unbelievable!
Unimaginable...I don't see anywhere to place the blame except the MSM.
Yeah. It's like a Christmas gift to the GOP writ in gigantic letters and wrapped in a neon red bow.
Golly. Now I know the Dems are going the way of the Whig party.
All too believable, I'm afraid.
The majority of Dems think that Iraq would be better off with Saddm in charge? You've got to be f##king kidding me? Are we dealing with a fifth column in this country? This is madness...
Headline: I Wish Saddam was Still in Power.
I wish he was still stealing millions from his people through the Oil-for-Food program.
I wish he was still firing on American & British jets enforcing the No-Fly Zone.
I wish he was still torturing those who spoke against him
I wish his thugs were raping Iraqi women and children
I wish there were news stories coming out every day, criticizing Bush for "ignoring the threat of Saddam in a post 9/11 world."
I wish the Iraq Kurds were treated as second-class citizens in their own country, instead of running TV commercials thanking us for their freedom.
I wish we we were living our lives wondering if Saddam was going to provide ANY kind of weapon to terrorists and use them against us.
I wish we would leave now, so Saddam could regain power and 2,000 American lives could be wasted after fighting a war those same Americans believed in.
I wish we would leave now, so our brave troops can be denied the victory they deserve; so those 2,000 will have died in vain. I will be able to use those numbers forever to fight my political battles, which are most important to me.
I wish the Middle East and the Islamic world would stay the same, without democracy, without rights for women, and continue to develop hatred for the West.
I wish all these things just because I despise George W. Bush, and those like him, more than I love the USA. I wish these things because I would rather use the war on Islamofacism for political gain than for the unification of my country, even after 3,000 innocent Americans died in one single day.
I wish all these things because my political cause, and my religion of Liberalism, is more important than the success of our president, our troops, and our country.
I wish all these things because I am a Liberal.
The protraying of Saddam as a victim media campaign is coming. I can see the "Free Saddam" T-shirts already.
Shocked?....Not!
Y'know, it's polls like these that make me think we as a nation are so divided on basic and fundamental issues and world views that we cannot function as a cohesive political unit and must inevitably separate. Just like the Bush haters wanted following 2004.
so voting democrats are divided,that's good news!
Just wait until the trial starts. The discovery phase will not only show how corrupt and evil this dictator was, but it will finally and resoundingly demonstrate the very same qualities in an entire national political party. I can't wait until Day One of Discovery. The media will not highlight the rapes, tortures, murders, amputations, etc., but the truth will have to come out as they force themselves to cover the trial. Merry Christmas!
Carl, can you please post the questions? These results sound like a parody.
Can you identify what pollster did the poll, also? This dog don't hunt peace through strength....
How could they be so dumb?
Can we just use the old Che T-shirts instead?
UGH!
This is entirely believable...predictable even.
It's hard to believe that these pukes could maintain any semblance of power, much less actual clout. That the MSM is the Media Wing of the DNC is even that much more frustrating.
[mattdono shakes head]
We're shocked!
