Poll question: How would Dems in Congress react to terrorist attack to sell Iran War?
Even former national security advisor Zbigniew Brzezinski has acknowledged the possibility that the Bushies could fabricate an incident to start a war with Iran.

The question is, how will our elected representatives, particularly the Democrats, respond if some friends of the Bushies do something like that here to start the war?

2. Our party leaders' newfound spines are like an infant's: still soft....
.... Another significant terrorist attack, and we're right back to post-9/11 dynamics.

8. it's not spine: they fear us ALMOST as much as business interests at the moment
only question is how close to 50% public opinion has to get before the start ignoring it again.

3. OK who voted for 'impeach"?
"They will immediately call for impeachment based on Bush failure to protect country"

Which Democratic Party is that? I want some too!

4. Shouldn't this poll be at the Republican Underground?
Because its only goal here can be to demoralize and depress the Democratic opposition to Bush's policies.

But thank you for your concern. And your overwhelming and useless contempt for the Democrats struggling to end this war in the constitutional framework of a democratic society.

5. No, the goal is to keep the heat on the Democrats who only seem to pay attention when millions
scream at them to do what they knew we wanted them to do when we elected them.

I am hoping you are right that they are working to do the right thing. At the moment, there's a chance they are still just going through the motions to placate us, and will go back to being the "me too" sidekick of the fascists at the first excuse.

6. Voted "other"
They won't be singing "kum by ah".

It'll be "Onward Christian Soldiers".



Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war,
With the cross of Jesus going on before.
Christ, the royal Master, leads against the foe;
Forward into battle see His banners go!

Refrain

Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war,
With the cross of Jesus going on before.

At the sign of triumph Satan’s host doth flee;
On then, Christian soldiers, on to victory!
Hell’s foundations quiver at the shout of praise;
Brothers lift your voices, loud your anthems raise.

Refrain

Like a mighty army moves the church of God;
Brothers, we are treading where the saints have trod.
We are not divided, all one body we,
One in hope and doctrine, one in charity.

Refrain

What the saints established that I hold for true.
What the saints believèd, that I believe too.
Long as earth endureth, men the faith will hold,
Kingdoms, nations, empires, in destruction rolled.

Refrain

Crowns and thrones may perish, kingdoms rise and wane,
But the church of Jesus constant will remain.
Gates of hell can never gainst that church prevail;
We have Christ’s own promise, and that cannot fail.

Refrain

Onward then, ye people, join our happy throng,
Blend with ours your voices in the triumph song.
Glory, laud and honor unto Christ the King,
This through countless ages men and angels sing.

Refrain
