On "The Situation Room" today, we asked viewers the following questions, and here are some of our favorite responses that we didn't get to read on air:
What does it mean when the U.S. Senate votes to build a fence along the Mexican border, but then votes against the funding?In November, the politicians can say they voted for keeping illegals out of the U.S. They don't care what happens; all they want are votes.
Hubert, Oberlin, Louisiana
It means that America is broke and that tax cuts are more precious than the security of America. We have spent and spent and spent and now we are reaping the rewards of this Congress' party-line voting.
Eileen, Bend, OregonIt means they believe the American people are stupid and do not pay attention. Maybe we the people should elect the "fools" and then fail to pay them or their benefits or their perks.
Carolyn, Wentzville, MissouriWhat does it mean if Iran is supplying missiles to Hezbollah?It means Hezbollah is getting small arm supplies from Iran, while Israel gets advanced jets, tanks, satellite imagery, and guided missiles from us.
Sal, New York, New YorkThis is exactly why Iran should not have nuclear weapons. It has been proven that they supply weapons to terrorist organizations. What would make them refrain from giving the terrorist nukes? They must be stopped now before it gets worse!
Matt, New York
It simply means that, ultimately, Iran will have to be dealt with if peace is ever to be restored in the region. Like it or not, the U.S. will have to take on Iran in one way or another, and the end result will not be pretty! Everyone will lose!
Ted, British ColumbiaAre Republicans in jeopardy of losing control of Congress in November?There is no way the Republicans will lose in November. The war in Iraq and now the Israeli war in the Middle East will pave the way for victory. Get used to it, Jack, Republicans rule.
Maurice, Two Rivers, WisconsinWe can only hope. Maybe it'll spark the more moderate members of the Republican Party to take control back from the fundamentalists that are running the party and the country into the ground.
Jon, Alpharetta, GeorgiaI'm not sure I understand, Jack. What's in November? If by chance you're referring to that "event" where we all rush out and cast ballots that are then miscounted in favor of the Republicans, then I'd have to say don't hold your breath. These people have a firm hold of power and aren't letting it go.
Chris, Enoloa, PennsylvaniaOne can only hope so. Let's make the lobbyists and the special interests work for their money by electing a new Congress.
Geoff, Alta Loma, California
