1. unfortunately, the powers that be have decided that Iraq is not a campaign issue

2. Look at the rest of the polls

The war is on top of all of them. And abortion and stem cell research are pretty near the bottom on most of them too - just found one where same sex marriage was near the bottom. Looks like the majority of Americans have liberal values.

But oh no, the Democrats weren't elected to end the war and being Republican-lite is the best way to win elections.

No wonder Republicans push terror and "morality", though - seems to be the only things they've got going for them and as time goes on those percentages are dropping too.

Hmm - check out the one about thinking that politicans have the same priorities as the voters or different priorities - looks like an average of about 30% of us feel represented by anyone in government.

3. I think the trifecta over the next 8 years

will be resource depletion (oil), climate change and food shortages. I think that by 2015 we are going to be hip deep in alligators.
