30. I think being framed as "anti-war"
is the problem. I think Lieberman is the extremist. I think the Republicans of today and the last few years are the extremists. To be labeled anti-war immediately frames it as the Democrats won't defend this country. I think we should stick to being against the false, based on lies, decieving a nation CRIME that is the current Iraq war. But being anti-war as a label creates that belief. Most Democrats are not for any more Vietnams. Most Americans are not for any more Vietnams. And now most Americans are against the Iraq war. War isn't good, but war based on lies and continued lies is even worse. Never using the military is extreme. And that's what the right means, when they say anti-war. They mean we don't have the balls to defend ourselves. And we need to call them on that shit. Ned Lamont is pretty damn moderate. And so are most Americans. And most Americans agree with the mainstream of the Democrats.
