Do you think Congress should authorize President Obama's plan to launch a military strike against the regime of Bashar al-Assad in Syria?
Yes, war crimes have been committed there. Assad needs to be punished and US credibility needs to be maintained.
No, the US is war weary and should avoid becoming entangled in a civil war taking place in a complicated Middle East nation.
Not sure, the evidence as to who committed the war crimes is inconclusive and the objective of US intervention is unclear.

FREEP THIS POLL ***PING!*** FRmail me if you want to be added or removed from the Fearless Poll-Freeping Freepers Ping list. (multiple votes using multiple internetz devices are allowed!) And be sure to ping me to any polls that need Freepin', if I miss them. (looks like a medium volume list) (gordongekko909, founder of the pinglist, stays on the list until his ghost signs up for the list)
There should have been a HELL NO! option.
Let’s go for 92% NO just like Drudge and the LA Times recently in their polls!
With all of the BS verbiage stripped:
Yes. 13%
No. 76%
Not sure. 11%
Total votes: 137,912
hum? Is the poll hiding?
Not pushing much are they? Either your for it, your war weary or you just don’t know. Why no have a Hell no it’s none of our concern.
13% support, rest unsure.
Every poll is trending in the same 80+ percent against authorizing a strike on Syria! Do our representatives have any clue that “we the people” are against it?
About a 1/4 of the way down on the right.

Thank you.
Didn’t see a choice that “US shouldn’t engage in state sponsorship of Islamic terrorists”
What’s AOL?
You see how they give 2 possibilities for a “No-ish” answer.
This dilutes the result if it was just a yes or no question.
Yes or now it would be 87% to 13% in favor of No.
The creators of this poll were hoping more people picked the Not sure answer hoping there would be maybe 40 percent saying yes and 30% and 30% saying the “no-ish’ answers.
So they could say something like, majority of respondents say yes(even though you and I know it would not be a real majority, but when have facts ever gotten in the way of an agenda by the drive-bys) 40% yes to 30% for no.
Polls are always BS. I would love to see a show where people on it were not allowed to talk around a question. they answer the question posed or their mic was turned off(I’m talking to you Beckel. Just as I would like to see some polling that was more relevant or accurate and not tainted.
I voted “No,” but not for the lame reason that the poll gave.
Screw those “gunboat liberals”....I voted no..I’ve voted no on every poll of this kind that I kind find.
