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. Your negative reaction to polls implies your lack of concern with democratic principles. Elected representatives are supposed to make best efforts to represent the desires and wishes of their constituents. Even Mr. Bush understands that principle as evidenced by his renewed commitment to work with the UN when polls showed that that's what the American people wanted. So, given the amount of whining you've done on the issue of polls, I have to ask........do you have a problem with democracy and its principles? ted
