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 senior Republicans, such as Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman John Warner, begin to question President Bush's strategy in Iraq?I'm one of Senator Warner's constituents and I've been telling him that since before the war, receiving delusional letters back from him in response. It means that he's finally caught up with a lot us who are not astute enough to be Senators, but seem to have been smart enough to predict what was obvious three years ago.
Chris, Portsmouth, VirginiaJack, It means they're crossing the border between two states... from the state of denial into the state of reality.
Stephen, Hagerstown, MarylandIt means either they are waking up to the follies of this administration or they are becoming afraid for their own future in office. I suspect the latter.
Scott, Rockford, IllinoisIt means the Kool-Aid pitcher is empty... finally.
Teresa, Moore, OklahomaHow important is the evangelical vote for the Republican Party in the midterm elections?
The importance of the evangelical vote must rank 2nd to the GOP, right behind electronic voting machine manipulation.
Tony, Colchester, ConnecticutIt's a miracle. The blind can finally see evidence that has been staring them in the face for several years. This born again intelligence is better late than never.
Bill, Floyd, VirginiaEvangelical support of the GOP is in its "last throes." In 2000, leadership of the evangelical movement sold out their faith and their brethrens' vote for a promise of executive branch support on some hot-button issues. The men they were dealing with were as Machiavellian as one can get and they now realize this truth.
Doug, San Diego, CaliforniaImportant enough to have me voting Democratic for the last 15 years (religiously).
M., West Chester, PennsylvaniaSaddam Hussein's lawyer Ramsey Clark says civilization would come to an end in Iraq if his client were convicted. Do you agree?Let's see, thousands murdered every month, a weak to nonexistent central government, and the police acting as hit men. I don't see a civilization that can disappear!
Matt, Raleigh, North CarolinaYes, I agree. Saddam needs to be put back in charge. Give it all back to him and say sorry and goodbye. It takes a strong arm like him to control this mess.
Michael, Evans, GeorgiaCivilization came to an end in Iraq on the day we unleashed "shock and awe." Sadly, Americans are responsible for having done this to Iraq. We can't go back and forgive Saddam Hussein's war crimes because that would be equally devastating to Iraqis who have supported the U.S.
Nikki, Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaHasn't it already? How much worse does it have to get?
