These numbers are similar to those that I gave you yesterday and, I believe, the reasons they look similar, for the same reason. Everything seems to come down to party lines. Common sense doesn't play a large role.

The liberals and the Democrats see America's role in the world as limited to minding our own business until something bad happens, then they work over time to find a scape-goat for not being able to take the responsibility to safe guard the country. It has always been this way.

Some people will always vote to save their own skin regardless of the consequences, claiming they don't see a problem or refuse to admit that one exist. There own little worlds are all they care about. Cars Houses Jobs Friends laughter Movies Parties More laughter -

Conservatives and Republicans see America as a responsible member of a world community, and, as the only super power, has to take a world responsibility outlook of protecting ourselves against all those that want us dead or powerless so they can take what they want from whom ever they want.

Conservatism see America as an anchor of freedom. Without American influence, there can only be chaos in the world. There isn't even anyone close that could do what we have to do to maintain world order.

So where does that leave us on the war, the economy or just about anything that one can think of that is important enough to debate?

The Democrats see the glass as half or completely empty, while the Republicans see the glass as half full and filling.

The Democrats see the war as lost and wrong no matter what is at stake, and the Republicans see the war as something that has to be fought to protect ourselves and our children from the worst enemy in our history.

The economy to the liberal Democrats is going into the dumper, the conservatism see more employment and less unemployment then in the last ten years. Facts in black and white and proven over months and months make little difference to the socialist left. Blind is as blind does.

Who's right? Who's on the wrong track? Which side makes more sense? How can a poll find this out? They can't. They can only approximate a guess. No one will really know for sure until it's time to vote.
