Both candidates stink when it comes to war record - I hope both would end it |
|
It's disingenuous to hold Barak's better judgment in 2002 as reason to vote for him - when the moment he got in the senate, one of his first speeches was : "let's not go into why we went to war" then moved to fund the war. He moved towards the war just as the country as a whole was distancing from it even more. So, I just don't see a difference between a candidate who voted for IWR and another who embraced the war the moment he got in the senate. It's why I don't use war as a criteria in my choice.

3. Hillary seemed more firm with the inception date - but both promissed to get out |

2. Whoever it is- he/she is being set up by Bush to get saddled with it, |
|
and if it ends badly- the Dems will get the blame.
It's a no-win, and the war-mongering chimp has blood on its hands.

5. I agree. They are both pro-war. One can choose to reject both - but honestly |
|
none of them can hold himself above the other on this.

6. "My candidate used to be smart, only got dumb recently" - not such a good defense |
|
or convincing campaign slogan.
