Both candidates stink when it comes to war record - I hope both would end it

[robbedvoter]

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.

1. Do you distinguish between "who will continue vs. who will stop"

the occupation of Iraq?

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

so, at this point I consider this a good point for both - a draw

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.

4. Bingo. "It's a democratic war" - Rove launched the meme, Tweety running with it - you'll

hear lots of it as soon as nomination is locked - by whichever of our candidates.

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.
