Poll question: If there is a terrorist attack to sell Iran War how will public react?
The draft boards are gearing up, Scott Ritter said Bush has already signed off on the plan, and we see the rhetoric ratcheting up.

But words alone won't fool people on Iran, and the Bush people are smart enough to know that. Therefore, if they use a terrorist attack comparable to 9/11 or bigger how will the public react?

1. I think it will break along party lines
Edited on Thu Jun-09-05 09:39 AM by DemonFighterLives
The 15% who think W can do no evil will be added to by the ones easily fooled which would push the president to nearly 50%.

That said Sylvia Brown sees no terrorist attack on the horizon.
Not sure where that leaves us. Israel may just do the dirty deed.
Sylvia also warned to stay out of India and Jerusalem. Hmm.

4. Slyvia Browne is the psychic who is on Montel Williams quite often
Anyone can believe what they want about her, but she really gets a lot right.

Don't get me wrong, I don't base all of my thoughts and beliefs on psychic predictions, just find her very interesting.

3. Hark!!! Is that the sound of the DRAFT approaching?
Or the sound of Young Republican feet running toward the Canadian border?

A terrorist attack will break along party lines. Perhaps if the event was as catastrophic as 9/11 people will rally round the flag. But I think that enough of the luster and bravado that many Americans thought "war preZnit bush" possesed, has been worn away by the quagmire and lies that are at the core and essence of OIF (Operation Iraqi Freedom). If the U.S. goes to war ANYPLACE else a vote for the draft will be called. Enlistment numbers will continue to stay low as long as rich white republican families fail to enlist their sons. Until they do, even those who have a financial interest (poor kids who have college aspirations) will think twice of dying in a war that has quickly become unpopular.

7. Thank you, for the warm "Welcome"
I decided to try this site out after spending some time in smirkingchimp site. This place seems much more active. But I won't say anything bad about smirkingchimp. I still love that place too.

Anything that works against the current Regime is good for me.
I was on a Breaking News kick when I found this site. The folks here appear to be some of the quickest on the Internets(dubby sp).
Did I mention DUers have political Acumen - George Galloway

6. Note to self: Buy more Yellow Ribbon Magnets.......
To sell to all the hypocrite neocons who will go into an Apoplectic Frenzy of Patriotism.

Make a killing gouging them on the prices.

Move to Costa Rica and live on the beach. Until the Democrats are back in power.
