[recoveringdittohed]

15. Repubs on a fission expedition

Nuke everybody that has nukes or looks like they want a nuke. :sarcasm:

Wait a minute, we've got nukes.

[Hosnon]

16. If necessary? Of course; how could anyone vote "no"?

Would it ever be necessary? Dunno...but that would be a more illustrative poll...

[MonkeyFunk]

18. exactly...

"if necessary" sort of implies there's no choice.

[Hosnon]

34. Yeah...and I'd go a step further...

And maintain that "if necessary" does imply the lack of choice.

[Richard Steele]

22. Just what I was thinking. Poorly worded. nm

[Hosnon]

33. However...

I guess we "know" what they meant, right? (I hate wasting policy discussion time because people are loose with grammar, syntax, logic, etc.)

As I see it, the question was asked to draw out, at least, two things: 1) the candidate's position on the use of nuclear weapons and 2) the candidate's position on Iran.

The first question begs the question that the use of nuclear weapons is ever necessary. The best answer would have been to call that out and say that the use of nuclear weapons is never necessary. The second question is simply a policy question. It could have been answered after the candidate repudiated the use of nuclear weapons by stating that all other forms of military force may be necessary and, if so, that they would be used.

[Inchworm]

17. crap!

I may have clicked yes and meant no or vice versa!

who did we lose?

:hi:

[Deep13]

23. Under what circumstances would it be "necessary?"

The phrasing of the question assumes it might be necessary to nuke Iran. If it was necessary, then we really don't have much choice in the matter.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

24. necessary implies one has to.

though ofcourse i cannot think of why one would have to.

[bicentennial_baby]

25. it was a line from the debate last night

[La Lioness Priyanka]

26. ohh i know that...but that was my point for the debate too

what the hell makes it necessary to nuke iran

[bicentennial_baby]

27. we are in agreement

:)

[La Lioness Priyanka]

28. well one hopes that atleast politically most of us are in alignment regardless of other issues

:)

[bicentennial_baby]

31. yes indeed

we pretty much always have that, regardless :)

[datasuspect]

29. "if" makes it a conditional

that means there is a chance that it might not be necessary.

[Hosnon]

32. Conditional on whether nuking Iran is necessary or not. And the question assumes

that it is necessary.

How anyone can answer "no" to any such question is beyond me.

[datasuspect]

35. if it wasn't necessary, why else would you nuke iran?

[Hosnon]

36. Because President Mush-for-Brains heard God tell him to do it?

I dunno...

[Danger Mouse]

38. or because the fat cats aren't fat enough yet and want more money?

Bush is on a mission from...

SUPPLY SIDE JESUS!!!!!

[Steerpike]

30. Personally

I'm much too lazy to Nuke Iran myself. Of course if the government wants to do it for me, who am I to stand in the way. I would prefer that they move out all the women, children and seniors first.

[LeftyMom]

40. "Of course if the government wants to do it for me, who am I to stand in the way."

Nice avatar. :rofl:

[Midlodemocrat]

43. Whee!!!! And, we're off!

:popcorn:

[LostinVA]

44. I thought Liberty University had a summer session.

[billyskank]

39. I'm prepared to drop a really smelly fart in East Azarbaijan.

That's as far as I'm ready to go.

[VenusRising]

41. I voted no.

Considering the last news I got was my cousin was on a nuclear sub in the Persian Gulf, I'm going to have to go with no.

I don't think I've cried harder in my life then when I found that out.

I hate *.

:cry:

[Adsos Letter]

42. Of course...

our nuclear weapons stockpile is aging...we need to test a bunch of them to see if they're still "good"...

:nuke:
