47. "I am voting for the most progressive, anti-war, candidate on the ballot."

Oct 2012

Which is whom, in your opinion? And, how can one be 'anti-war' without a chance in hell of making any related decisions?

I don't support war, period. But I am understanding of any measure that gets us out of the area sooner, and with less loss of life.

Did you learn anything from the false comparisons between Gore and Bush?
