American really need to set aside their differences for this one issue and oppose Obama's war.

The Tea Party's maniacal, principle-less intent to support and do whatever they can to throw vacuous mud at the president in a self-enriching, egoistic power-grab, aimed at nothing other than fostering their own personal comfort and luxury, might get in the way of such cooperation. It is difficult to work with such a body of slimy perspective without the adverse impact of getting slimy, yourself, as a result, adversely impacting one's own honorable cause.

Not at all. Why make things up just to have something to say?

There are lot of possibilities for the path forward. The president has acted. Now it is up to Congress. Is it so important to the point you're trying to make to ignore reality and instead respond to this fabrication of perspective you've crafted?

I think that's still the case, but your example was a bad one of a possible vector for cooperation due to the antisocial nature of the Tea Party perspective itself. Uniting together to address something runs counter to the egoistic self-interest that the Tea Party movement promotes.

Actually it looks like they have already joined forces. There are protests with chants "hands off Syria".

It's hilarious to see Bots advocating war against Syria.

I can't wait to see Dem Congressmen posturing for war on TV. Although maybe they'll just vote rather than debate to avoid that embarrassment.
