Republicans are from Mars, Democrats are from Venus

Metaphorists are from Uranus...
Right now, your response to this assertion is by far the surest predictor of whether you are a Democrat or a Republican: The best way to ensure peace is through military strength.
Thank you, Ron.
As an indicator of party preference, it is nearly two-and-a-half times more potent than any of the values (government's waste, regulation's importance or homosexuality's acceptability) that held sway only a halfdecade ago. The second-leading indicator (itself still more potent in 2004 than any of the other values in 1999) is your response to this notion: We should all be willing to fight for our country, whether it is right or wrong.
So folks have divvied themselves up and chosen sides: it's quite a shot against the idea that this great war of our time will become a bipartisan effort. Will it keep Republicans in office? Maybe. But I don't think having one major party be stark raving head-in-the-sand mad is a good thing, particularly as it means a lack of reasoned opposition.

#7  Actually, I think the Dems are from someplace else, but I'm too polite to say where. ;-p

#5  Republicans are from Mars, Democrats are from Venus? Does that mean that Democrats breathe hydrochloric acid, and Republicans barely breathe at all? Help me out, here, guys - I'm not good at this metaphor stuff.

Of course, going from that article, neither are a lot of people...

#4  I believe the question was, "The war in Iraq improved the security situation in the US."

I call bullpoo! The "notion"? What was the actual question. I bet $100 it wasn't, "do you believe you should fight for your country if it is wrong?"
