Breaking news: Amerians are bloodthirsty fuckers. The Link Aug 2013 #3

Apparently! Sparky 1 Aug 2013 #55

Sycophants can be worse than fox. morningfog Aug 2013 #20

Is that what it is? Scootaloo Aug 2013 #21

the actual headline of this article: Poll: Americans want Obama to get Congress OK on Syria Douglas Carpenter Aug 2013 #23

I think the difference is the slant of the news source seabeckind Aug 2013 #25

But we know how the regime will spin this, not that they have any credibility... Tarheel_Dem Sep 2013 #61

If only 50% favor cruise missile strikes, that's really low. geek tragedy Aug 2013 #43
