He has waffled on Iraq, initially saying he opposed it but later saying he doesn't know how he would have voted on authorizing it, campaigned that he would vote against Iraq War funding but once the got into the Senate voted for it, now talks like a critic of the War but says he may keep troops there throughout his term in office. Note also that even in his initial statement against the Iraq War he vigorously denied being for peace.<BR/><BR/>He has voted consistently for the bloated military budget, and his official campaign position is for an even larger military budget and increasing the size of the armed forces.<BR/><BR/>He admits the death penalty is ineffective, yet says he supports it because we need vengeance.<BR/><BR/>I can't see how good people can support him. Don't policies make any difference?

Maybe if you count wars for a few hundred years you'll get the same number of casualties as the number of abortions there have been in the past 30 years. Mostly what we need on that count I think is better education.Kristahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04030109870736499425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25739515.post-19610254063326766282008-02-13T09:57:00.000-08:002008-02-13T09:57:00.000-08:00Oooh!
