Issue # Votes %

C We should maintain current troop levels until Iraq builds an army to defend and stabilize their country, even if that takes years. 16 39.0

We should re-institute the national draft to increase troop levels to where we can seal the Iraqi borders and stop the passage of insurgents and insurgent-supply missions.

10. i would NEVER recommend voting more than once...

but it is possible with this set up to do so.If you were to vote in proxy for your family members,that would be ok :)

[progressoid]

11. Huh, surprise, surprise. Nobody wants the draft.

[cui bono]

12. Done and emailing to others... "B" for me! nt

[Norquist Nemesis]

17. Same here!

It's the most sensible, safe, and diplomatic approach that leads to a solution.

[gkhouston]

22. the way you're thinking of it, perhaps. Consider how it

might be implemented. Let's concentrate all those US soldiers on the borders of Iraq... say on the border with Syria and/or the border with Iran. Gosh, if somebody shoots, us, what's an army to do? :shrug:

I don't doubt your intentions, and I don't doubt Murtha's intentions, I'm just thinking of how this move could be misinterpreted by neighboring countries or misused by the neocons...

[TriMetFan]

38. Yes but if he is as smart as I think he is he would ask for......

NATO to help us on this. They could always put NATO troops on the borders of the countries that might give us hell.

[dennisnyc]

91. They could ask NATO, but Kerry thinks it should be UN troops guarding

Iraq's borders. I think he's right.
UN troops to the border.
Our troops back to the bases, or by Murtha's plan to the periphery.
Then DIPLOMACY. Imagine that, a foreign policy, not just a militrist strategy....

...just dreaming....... ?

[TriMetFan]

121. Sorry that is what I meant UN.

[Oceansaway]

13. Done....

[Cactus44]

14. You can only choose one though.

I'd want to answer B) or D).

No, D) isn't a popular choice, but it would allow us to actually accomplishes something in Iraq instead of just squandering blood and treasure with less than nothing in return.

[atomic-fly]

15. I chose B.

[Habibi]

16. Done and recommended--thanks!

[OregonBlue]

18. Done.

[jsamuel]

19. That poll isn't done very well (you can vote over and over again)

[Just Me]

80. Um, someone might outta' contact that administrator.

No wonder it's so "freeped".

[IChing]

25. voted for immediate although I want a rational withdrawal

so more harm doesn't come to our troops. But voted immediate for the effect.

[Nite Owl]

33. Did the same thing

We know it can't be tomorrow but it added urgency to vote immediate.

[aquart]

51. always vote the extreme.

Then MAYBE you'll get the rational policy you want. But don't start off rational because no one reasons with the reasonable, because they can be talked out of anything.

The Republicans took the unreasonable stance. Democrats took the reasonable one. Everybody moved to the right to accommodate the unreasonable Republicans.

I want total pullout tomorrow, nationalization of all energy resources, and...what's an unreasonable position on healthcare? National health is reasonable.....what's extreme on that? Got one: total national health with all doctors and pharmacists and drug companies providing identical care to rich and poor no exceptions. Let them fight for the paid care for the rich.

[sinkingfeeling]

27. Done. Option B is ahead.

[Road Scholar]

28. Done!! nt

[democrank]

29. Thanks.

Nominated.

30. It's being freeped. They've discovered you can vote over & over. nt

[OhNoTheyDidNot]

73. Well guess what. I just discovered the same thing. Check back in an hour

[OhNoTheyDidNot]

77. KEEP VOTING PEOPLE. It's slowly but surely changing........

[Ian David]

31. What do we want? Redeployment to the periphery! When do we want it?

At the earliest practicable date!

Come on, let's all forget the peace movement and join the redeployment movement.

Peace is for pussies, and cutting-and-running is for Republicans who only know two ways to leave a battlefield-- dead or defeated.

We should redeploy to the periphery of Iraq as soon as practical to protect troop safety and give the Iraqis incentive to take charge sooner, not later.

I'm with Murtha on this.

B We should redeploy to the periphery of Iraq as soon as practical to protect troop safety and give the Iraqis incentive to take charge sooner, not later. 280 40.8

[TriMetFan]

32. Done! Also voted for Greatest Page since we have over

70,000 members and if Mr. Murtha got at least 55,000 votes this would help him.:kick:

I also voted for B.

39. Done and nominated n/t

[mmonk]

40. Though its a nice idea,

the information the public is getting is tainted due the media conglomerates attempts to keep bush in power. The right choices never need to be asked from a largely uninformed public (though we can make a difference if everyone votes for the only two reasonable choices to this mess).
