Contradicting and correcting the facts you cited, which were in error.

The opinion I offered (that those voting with him for military action would lose votes) was based on fact. Poll after poll has shown that voters are overwhelmingly against the use of military force. Not one single poll has shown the slightest evidence to the contrary. Democrats who vote in favor out of loyalty to Obama will lose votes in upcoming primaries and, if the survive the primaries, will lose votes in the general elections.

And I didn't get those polls from Fox News, as you so arrogantly assume, I got them from MSNBC, among others. I also didn't say anything about boots on the ground. That is the cute little slogan that you neoliberals use to justify death and destruction by aerial warfare. I am neither a neoliberal or a warhawk.

Of course you "don't find my premise believable." It doesn't fit with what you want to happen.
