Editorial: 'Is The Country Headed In The Right Direction?'
By Editor (10/07/08)
One variation or another of this question appears on most polls. It is a question that has no actual valid answer, because it is not a valid question.
Generally "Yes" or "No" are the choices. Never a long list of reasons to indicate why you made your choice.
This is by design of the pollsters! Leftists want to blast the message that "Americans want more Socialism" and the other guys want to use the answer for similar purposes.
Forgetting the political machines and their pollsters, there is a possible answer.
Survival of the Republic is paramount for Demercrats and Republicrats. If either faction destroys the Republic, both will cease to exist. (They don't have a clue)
As a general consideration, any agenda that undermines the Republic is not good news.
Is The Country Headed In The Right Direction? If you are a worshiper of Socialism the answer is Yes, otherwise No may be a more popular choice.
