Wow. Just...Wow.

19% of registered Democrats polled say the U.S. would be better off if it lost the war in Iraq.

Not better off if it withdrew from Iraq (though that result would be the same), LOST in Iraq. You know, kind of the way the U.S. LOST in Vietnam.

In other words one in five Democrats polled say they are affirmatively in favor of losing. Nice. And yes, I know it's an eeeevil FoxNews poll and it's "only" 19%.

But this is the activist 19% - the MoveOn.org crowd who claims ownership of the party - bought and paid for. And incidentally, another 20% of registered Democrats said they "don't know" if the U.S. would be better off losing. These are the numbskulls in the party most influenced by the first 19%.

I wonder if the question was phrased as "would the Democratic party be better off if the U.S. lost in Iraq". Would a good chunk of the 20% that answered "don't know" spill over into the "yes" bucket?

I have little doubt. What a said statement on the condition of this once serious political party.
