Just took Bernie Sanders' Syria poll. Result so far:

[Triana]

[Jefferson23]

1. Priorities: Jobs and Unemployment, Health care, Global warming, Education, in that order.

Boy, are they screwed up.

[Fantastic Anarchist]

2. K&R ...

Percentage of Congress who will listen to the American people?

Very, very small.

[wandy]

3. I can tell you one thing for sure. If I were trying to sell this war..........

I'd be looking for a new line of work.

Our elected officials can ignore numbers like that at their own risk.

4. 10:1 seems to be a good estimate of opposition level

Some congress people have been reporting up to 250:1 against in phone calls. This is going to be a true test of how much the war party (composed of both R and D) can ignore public opinion and just do what it wants.

I think if Obama does go through with this without the House supporting it he is in grave danger of being voted for impeachment in the house. The Senate would never convict him, but what a circus.

14. I doubt impeachment will come up

Unless they try to impeach the president over something trivial. This kind of unilateral war power of the President is something they very much want to keep in place for the next Repub president.

If that doesn't keep you up all night... :p

6. Wow that's pretty lopsided

[Rain Mcloud]

11. I voted!

Over 10,000 served at the time.

[BeatleBoot]

12. On-Line Poll?

Well, at least they considered the sample size!

[daleo]

22. On-line polls are not scientifically valid

But a big response like this tells you that there is a large and motivated group of people out there that don't want more war. Furthermore, these results are consistent with what scientifically conducted polls have found - there is a large majority against military action.
