The Politics of an American Attack on Syria

You know the main reason why some Democrats support a potential strike on Syria is because the president ordering the attack is a Democrat. If it were a Republican president the likes of Bush or McCain, they’d be up-in-arms about it. Likewise, the only reason why some Republicans oppose such a strike is because it’s a Democratic president at the helm and they have the opportunity to use is as a stick to chip away at Democrats’ legitimacy in preparation for the next election. But my hat goes off to those from the same party as the president, such Congressman Grayson, who went against their party leader. He couldn’t be more on point here.
