Election poll from Al-sabah

Posted on January 5, 2005 by Sappho

This poll was pub­lished in Al-Sabah news­pa­per show­ing that “ter­ror­ists” have failed to to dis­suade Iraqis from votin, many be will­ing to take on the risks nec­es­sary to wrench back con­trol of their nation. Even in a dan­ger­ous, quasi demo­c­ra­tic election.

The poll was of 4974 Iraqis liv­ing in and around Baghdad.

The fol­low­ing is the trans­la­tion of the poll and the results:

Will the secu­rity prob­lems cause you to?
Not come out and vote the day of elec­tions = 18.3%
Come out and vote the day of elec­tions = 78.3%
No opin­ion = 3.4%

Do you sup­port the Iraqi Gov­ern­ment hav­ing its own offi­cial news­pa­per?
Yes = 67.7%
No = 30.9%
Do Not know = 1.4%?

Do you sup­port mil­i­tary action against the ter­ror­ists?
Yes = 87.7 %
No = 11.1%

    “A vote for Com­mu­nism is a vote for another ruth­less dictator”-American

    As opposed to the many wealthy, white, fas­cist, Chris­t­ian dic­ta­tors which hold power in America?

    The prob­lem is not com­mu­nism or cap­i­tal­ism. The prob­lem is author­i­tar­i­an­ism. All gov­ern­ments tend to move closer to author­i­tar­i­an­ism the fur­ther left or right gov­ern­men­tal poli­cies move.

    The gov­ern­ment gov­erns best which gov­erns least. The social wel­fare sys­tem of com­mu­nism tends to retard progress with­out a good reward sys­tem to moti­vate the peo­ple. The cor­po­rate wel­fare sys­tem of fas­cism (as in the US), tends to cre­ate wage-slaves and focus all wealth in the hands of a priv­i­leged few.

    The United States is no longer the free repub­lic that it’s found­ing fathers designed. Year after year, the power has been stripped away from the sov­er­eign indi­vid­u­als and states and placed into the hands of the fed­eral gov­ern­ment. The US gov­ern­ment should now be clas­si­fied as a fas­cist oli­garchy. Amer­i­cans are just too stu­pid and lazy to real­ize it.

    Wake up peo­ple! Stop blindly trust­ing gov­ern­ments. They don’t have your best inter­ests at heart.
