Reader's Digest Washington Bureau Chief Carl Cannon cited various reasons for the disparity, noting that many of the Republican Party's core positions are irrelevant to individuals overseas.

"The Republican Party is not organized around the notion of running for election anywhere but the United States," Cannon told FOXNews.com. "A number of Republican issues, including defending the Second Amendment or opposition to abortion, simply are not salient questions in Europe."

The Reader's Digest poll also found striking differences in attitudes towards Americans.

When asked, "Do you consider yourself pro-American, neutral or anti-American?" half of the 16 countries expressed more "pro-American" than "anti-American" sentiments, despite unpopular opinions on the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq.

Cannon told FOXNews.com that this finding was inconsistent with the Democrats' claim that most of the world detests the U.S. because of the Bush administration's unfavorable foreign policies.

"What this shows is that people in the world still care about America and still look to America," he said. "They might care about the Iraq war, but they don't judge us based solely on that issue."

The Left believes that Iraq was a sovereign nation but that the US’s leadership should reflect the global consensus.

The world is overwhelmingly Socialist but there probably is no litmus test in the poll to gauge the poltical bent of those responding to the agitprop poll.

This is the best endorsement for McCain I’ve read in a while.

When ‘they’ pay our taxes, bear our burdens, foot the bill for global aid, suffer our ills, recruit/equip/train and FIELD OUR armies, then they can have Obama for President!!!!!!!

And now we know why we are the leader of the World.

We can think in, out, under, over and to the side of every box!!

Not like some who have to force fed every bit of info from a single source (msm) in order to justify not having to think.

Socialsim does that. It is a cancer on thinking

That’s great. After he loses in November, maybe he and Alec Baldwin can move to France, or England, or Russia, or any of the other weak-assed socialist countries and run for office there.

What a dumb story.

Of course outsiders want someone different. Their interest are different than ours.

Americans are interested in what America can do for Americans.

non-americans are interested in what America can do for non-americans.

Asking this question is like asking my neighbor what I should spent my paycheck on.

"Thankfully these folks are not voting."

Perhaps not voting, but they are donating to Obama it seems.

I thought McCain was ahead of Hussein in Israel.

While this might look like a joke, it’s part of a growing trend. Notice the Alpha Omega chant? “I am the Alpha and the Omega, The Beginning and the End,” says the Lord, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.” Revelation 1:8 Note the current reference to the Alpha and the Omega.

We are almost out if time, folks.
