2. But the TeeVee always tells me that Lamont is an "Anti-War candidate"
and Cindy Sheehan is an "Anti-War protester".

I know I'm just restating your point.. The media is trying to turn the phrase "Anti-War" into a negative. Problem is most Americans identify and agree with the people the media label as "Anti-War".

5. Considering how very rarely a war results in anything good ...
... they're practically the same thing.

War is really only necessary if your country is attacked. And I don't just mean if some individuals attack a couple of big buildings, I mean if someone who has a chance in hell of succeeding tries to take away your sovereignty.

I'd prefer to say that Democrats should be anti-war but not anti-defense.
