Who here ACTUALLY supports war with Iran?

[Danger Mouse]

I must know. Here's a poll. Feel free to be totally anonymous.
If you have a justification you'd like to post as well, I'm listening.

[Danger Mouse]

1. So far, so good.

Looking for more votes. :)

[blondeatlast]

2. The problem with polls is that they are anonymous.

There is at least one DUer who believes all options should be open, but I bet s/he won't be replying with their vote...

[Poll_Blind]

40. Not if you give an answer the Administrators don't like- bwa, ha ha!

:evilgrin:

PB

[Hydra]

3. You forgot to put in "No, but I support enabling actions"

I see that happening more often than outright support- but there are many roads to hell.

[Danger Mouse]

4. I didn't want to.

It is what it is. Authorizing war. People need to shit or get off the pot, IMHO.

[regnaD kciN]

5. What about...

"No, but I'll support someone who does if they're the Democratic nominee." :eyes:

[Danger Mouse]

6. I don't want to make myself

:puke:

[redwitch]

9. "The road to Hell is paved with good intentions".

My mother always said that. I didn't know there was more than one road and my question is: With what are the other roads paved?

[Hydra]

10. 7 deadly sins and ignorance

those are the 8 roads of hell I know.

[redwitch]

11. I always hate that lust is lumped in there with avarice.

:-)

Thanks for making me less ignorant! I have no wish to go to Hell!

[Hydra]

32. heh

Only the boring people go to heaven.

Given that fact, the 8 paths to hell I mentioned basically boil down to obsession.

ignorance = obsession with the rightness of your beliefs
lust = obsession with physical pleasure
greed = obsession with wealth
sloth = obsessed with getting a free ride
pride = obsession with your self image
envy = obsession over what others have
wrath = obsession with venting your anger on others
gluttony = obsession with taking more than you need

Mind you, these bleed into each other...but don't all of these remind you of GWB?

[redwitch]

39. You are right. He has all the best qualities!

And although some were handed to him( wealth, getting a free ride) he sure has held on to them very tightly!

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

7. I'm guessing the people with Hillary avatars.

:shrug:

[kenny blankenship]

12. I doubt you'd get any openly admitting to supporting war with Iran

openly, that is... (regardless of what kind of avatar they show).

One has to be blind, though, to believe that there aren't some among us here who long to hear news that the bombing of Tehran has begun. A few, but they are active.

And then they'd kick back and tell us, "We knew it was inevitable you see."

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

13. Obviously.

90% of Americans used to support Bush. And I'm willing to bet that accounts for plenty of DUers.

But they'd never admit to it.

[Danger Mouse]

19. For awhile after 9/11....I admit that I didnt think bush was all that bad...

:hide:

[TwilightZone]

8. Here's an earlier poll....

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=389&topic_id=1903669

Similar results.

[cui bono]

45. Oh geez, when the thread was first loading I didn't see the bottom choice

before scrolling down the comments. I followed your link when it said similar results and I was getting nervous thinking it was almost 50/50!

Glad to see that bottom option now!

[Mz Pip]

14. Unless an Iranian

army invades San Francisco or NYC or Houston,Or we are on the receiving end of one of their bombs, why would we even consider going to war with Iran? Iran might do something bad someday isn't a good enough reason to go to war. I find it hard to believe that Ahmadinejad is that suicidal.

[MasonJar]

15. What 3 DUers are totally NUTS?

[razors edge]

16. I think some of us have an idea.

[blondeatlast]

17. I can think of one, probably two. Hard to grasp, but they're here

and they expose themselves on occasion.

[HughBeaumont]

21. Probably those in my Red X Toilet.

Or those who are headed there.

[Laurab]

41. Now it's NINE! (9) - I do hope it's nine visitors

from freeperland. Me, I want to live, and I kind of want the rest of the world to live, too.

[KitchenWitch]

18. You are my hero!

:yourock:

[Danger Mouse]

20. Aw, shucks.

:blush:

[txwhitedove]

22. Hell no!

[Bucky]

23. Are you people crazy? Don't you realize if we don't fight them over there....

...we may not get a chance to fight them at all?

[Danger Mouse]

[Danger Mouse]

28. wow! I never thought of it that way!!!

thanks!!1

[IndianaJones]

24. this poll is bs. nt.

[Danger Mouse]

25. why?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

26. I'm in the "not just no, but hell no" camp!

Great poll!

Thank you!

This poll makes me happy......and you know why, too!

:hug:

29. always glad to make you happy, peggy

[Danger Mouse]

30. self kick. hoping for a few more votes.

:hi:

[B Calm]

31. Only if they draft young and old republicans

[Danger Mouse]

33. i'm sure they will draft plenty of rethug children.

i think a draft should START with every member of congress who voted to authorize it and their children and loved ones, then onto the children and loved ones of all the war hawks in the MSM.

[Neshanic]

34. What, no "glass em" choice?

[NoPasaran]

35. Not at the present time

If we are to have a war with Iran, we have to be militarily and diplomatically prepared, which is clearly not the case today. Iran is no house of cards like Saddam's Iraq. And it would be foolish to go in with a clear and achievable plan for what to do when we win.

[candymarl]

36. Good grief

It appears there's some mind reading going on here. I just KNOW who voted for war with Iran and WHY. Look at the avatars, check the kerning! We know who you are and have ways of making you talk. I've heard of OCD but this is off the hook. This horse has been beaten to death. It has also been buried, dug up and beaten again. Let the poor creature rest. Just a mild observation: we're all entitled to our own views and opinions. What's the point? I ain't gettin' it. If say you WANT war with Iran it proves what? That you secretly are in love with the Iranian Preznit? That you're a closet Anti-Semite? That if you DON'T WANT war with Iran the heavens will open and angels will sing? That you prove your moral superiority as a result? WHAT????

[mvd]

37. No, no, and more no!

Diplomacy and sactions when needed. No attacks.

[fizzgig]

38. you know my feelings on this

but i'll give you a kick

[ellisonz]

42. I just liked how bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, Iran, rhymed.

:crazy:

[Downtown Hound]

43. I like this poll

It gives you at least a general idea of how many trolls we have here at a given time.

[Warren DeMontague]

44. Sorry. But I think I beat you to it, on this one.

I only had two options, though.

[Burma Jones]

46. Not with this bunch of imbeciles in charge

[deacon]

47. Start another war during a failed/failing war that was based on lies?

Insane. Time to save our soldiers from more of this lunacy. Time to bail out of the GOP"S new Nam.

[smoogatz]

48. How about a "not under the current circumstances" choice?

I certainly don't think there's any reasonable justification for attacking Iran under the current circumstances (in fact I think doing so would constitute a horrendous war crime), but I'm not sure I could say "never," because I don't know what's going to happen in the future.

[Danger Mouse]

49. It's up to 13 people who support bombing Iran?

Wow.
