New Poll Shows New Yorkers Support Missile Defense
2006-03-23
More than 70 percent of citizens throughout the state of New York support a missile defense system with the ability to protect the United States from a nuclear, chemical or biological attack. The results came from a new poll commissioned by the Missile Defense Advocacy Alliance (MDAA).
The poll also registered how New Yorkers viewed political priorities and public safety concerns. Based upon the poll results, 81 percent of registered voters in New York believe that both the state and New York City will be a likely target for a missile attack by countries or terrorist groups wanting to strike the United States. The results of the poll were announced by Riki Ellison, MDAA president, at the Fourth Annual Missile Defense Conference in Washington D.C.

"These results show that New Yorkers strongly support a missile defense system as an important part of homeland security and public safety," said Ellison, who founded MDAA in 2002. "It is clear that New Yorkers are aware of the threat and see missile defense as an additional solution along with diplomacy and international treaties to negate the proliferation of missiles that can carry weapons of mass destruction."

More than one-third of New York voters believe that the most important priority for the President of the United States and Congress to address this year is national defense and homeland security. Healthcare and the economy were the second and third-most reported priorities, with 22 percent and 21 percent respectively. In addition, 31 percent of voters reported they believe terrorism is currently the most significant threat to the U.S. and its allies, followed by dependence on Middle East oil and the proliferation of nuclear weapons.

Shows that not all of us are shrill barking moonbats!

#3  PRAVDA tells us why, or at least one of the major reasons, why the Failed/Angry Left and anti-Amer agendists want the US under [anti-American American]Socialism and OWG c. 2015-2020 [Russia-=China 2014/2015-2018] - Russia fears that it may NOT be able to maintain its ever-shrinking level of forces, including its nuclear forces, by or after 2015, and that one day soon wid GMD America will be able to take out both it [Russia's] and China's strategic nuke forces in one single strike. Other sources hint at similar condition(s), but infer that only by colluding together vv conventional forces can Russia-China hope to offset US nuclear dominance. SUPPORTS WHAT I'VE BEEN SAYING ON THE WEB - WORSE COMES TO WORSE, AMERICA AND ITS VOLUNTEER ARMY WILL RUN OUT OF BEANS AND BULLETS BEFORE THE COMMIES OR AMER'S ENEMIES RUN OUT OF BODIES/HUMAN WAVE CANNON FODDER!? Is why, in part, Russia-China are pragmatically focusing on mil, pol and economic ventures-alliances wid India, Africa and the lower Americas. Fron NOLA to the Shanghai Coop/SCO, the Left > getting the Fed and only the Fed to take over and socialize everything domestic, while overseas America faces stalemate/"quagmire" iff not defeat. The Left > America either unilat "volunteers" to give up its sovereignty, Govt., and endowments to OWG and non-/anti-American nations, OR AMERICA IS MILITARILY FORCED TO - the waffling dialectic policratic Governmentist Lefties don't and won't care becuz they win no matter what happens, AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER AMERICA FAILS OR SUCCEEDS AT EMPIRE ANDOR ITS OWN VERSION OF OWG, AND WHETHER REVOLUTION ANDOR INVASION OCCURS IN AMERICA OR NOT - you know, Left-beloved SECULAR MORALISM where one doesn't have to believe in God or Ethics to tell the truth. Remember, the MSM/Left since Y2000 > Dubya and the GOP = despicable unreliable dishonest Liberals and Socialists; whereas Dems are Honorable, True-Blue Regulatory and Protectionist Conservatives and Americanists. Dubya for 2006-2008 is Adolf Bushitler whom needs to be stopped, defeated, or wiped out, but the same Dubya is a mere, imperfect, Half-a-Commie when it comes to dev Amer global empire WHICH AMERICA WILL LOSE = GIVE UP LATER ON, along wid everything else.

#2  Still, 70 perc. is fairly impressive.

I don't dispute this outcome. New Yorkers are pragmatic people who are in the bullseye of terrorists.
