The latest polls show a majority of the people in the state of WA are against going to war with Iraq. There he goes, again. It is part of the concept of liberal government that polls rule. This is what we saw during Clinton's two terms -- the inability to function without first taking a poll, and the resultant mistakes that such government brings us. The Founding Fathers, in their wisdom, created the Senate in an effort to mitigate the emotional trends of a public whom can be swayed by media and overheated rhetoric. Unfortunately, this notion of government by polls is also the root cause of poor leadership. The Democrat party, in its inordinate concern over getting re-elected, feels it must, at all times, govern based on polls. JFK's wonderful book, "Profiles in Courage", tells us about leadership. In it, we learned that true leaders are those who can see through the polls in pursuit of righteousness. Ironically, the party of JFK has not shown the slightest evidence leadership since his untimely demise. Citation of the "polls" as an excuse for Murray's anti-American/pro-Bin Laden statements is evidence of shallow thinking.
