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 would it take for you to change your mind about the way you plan to vote in the midterm elections?For me to vote Republican in this election, Iran would have to renounce violence, Iraq would have to become a flourishing democracy, North Korea would have to give up its nukes, and a sincere peace that could last would have to be agreed to between Israel and its adversaries, all in the next 68 days.
BrianThe only thing that could make me change my mind in November would be a full frontal lobotomy...barring that happening, I plan to vote as many of these bums out of office as I legally can.
Meryl, Brooklyn, New YorkNothing, Jack. There is nothing that can prevent me from voting against every incumbent. Out citizens need to send a message to these overpaid, partisan, lying representatives who do nothing to make things better for the whole. They need to understand here and now that when they take office they are in it for their constituents, not for themselves.
Steve, Atlanta, GeorgiaDo you think the Bush Administration plans to attack Iran?Yes. But they will use the unofficial 51st state of the union, Israel, to do it for them. For the US to directly invade Iran on the heels of the defiant invasion of Iraq would be too blatant an affront to world opinion.
Jim Chilliwack, British ColumbiaThere are powerful forces in the administration that want to use the US military to achieve regime change in Iran. They equate Iran with Hitler and argue that we must attack Iran. They may well do it.
Bill, Macungie, PennsylvaniaIt's always amusing to watch those who bellow and brag about how "morally-superior" they are to the rest of us, become strident and defensive, when their views are questioned or challenged! Only true cowards and the insecure resort to name-calling and fear-tactics, when their failures are inventoried for public consumption.
Paula, Albuquerque, New MexicoThe Bush administration says if you object to the war in Iraq you're guilty of appeasing fascism. Do you agree?
Absolutely not! The irony is that the very people who invoke "Islamic Fascist" rhetoric are appeasing the neo-conservative fascists who have been running the United States since 2000.
Ryan, Nova ScotiaThe Bush administration has said a lot about the war in Iraq, most of it wrong. They're wrong this time too.
C., Fresno, CaliforniaNo. I believe just the opposite: anyone who supports the war is appeasing fascism.
KB, San Diego, CaliforniaJack, in a democracy, if you object to someone voicing their opinion, aren't you the fascist? Too bad the leader of the world's longest running democracy, doesn't understand what he's leading.
