New FR poll question is ambiguous - clarification requested

Sorry for the vanity, folks, but the current FR poll question - "Is the failed port deal bad for America?" - can definitely be read two different ways. One is that it's asking if the deal itself is bad for America, and the other way is that it's asking if the FAILURE of the deal is bad for America.

Can we get it cleared up? Otherwise the results would be kinda useless.

LOL! That's true, too.

Sounds like you didn't get the memo.

But that all right.

I like those 4 ideas; especially 2 and 3; then again I am not a supporter of one world socialism.

Glad I wasn't the only one. That's the reason I skipped it.

I agree. IMO, that ambiguity should cause the admins to throw out the results and post a better-worded poll. There are likely many who read it one way or the other and answered in the way opposite of their intention.

So according to the Heritage Foundation, we do nothing. Sorry. I'm not a believer in the bureaucratic status quo that has guided WashDC politics for the last century. I think we can do better. Ronald Reagan had it right. Free trade is great, as long as its fair trade. I think the US has invested enough in the globalist mentality.

>>>>>As Muslim nations go the UAE is highly secular ...

Anyone who believes that malarkey, is bound to be first and foremost, a globalist.

Dubai is more secular than Kandahar.

Globalists

[processing please hold]

So will we do this poll ad infinitum until the pro-UAE crowd gets the 99.99% they crave?

We're split on this just as we were on Terri Schiavo. Pro Terri here and anti-UAE.

Ever been to Dubai? LOL

LOL Like I give a rats arse. Once a "jihadist", always a "jihadist". In my book, the best "islamofascist", is a dead "islamofascist". Since at least half the Islamic world hates the US and our way of life, I think my philosophy trumps anything you globalists have to offer.

that is SO like a Buchananite to use out and out falsehoods to prove his point. LOL. Reagan man, you are a disgrace to Ronnie's name.

Did you get that off a Zogby poll?

You don't strike me as being totally convinced yourself of the superiority of your philosophy. But your doubts are inconsequential to me.

[Reagan Man]

And you are a disgrace to Free Republic, America and the human race. A conservative you are not. A lover of Islam, you obviously are. Carry on, mister jihad.
