1. Good for them!!!
Maybe this will encourage some of our Democrat officials to act like leaders and take a real stand.

2. They pretty much summed my position up, 100%:
The Nation therefore takes the following stand: We will not support any candidate for national office who does not make a speedy end to the war in Iraq a major issue of his or her campaign. We urge all voters to join us in adopting this position.


But! Hillary! ...But! Kerry! ...But! Don't you wanna win?

Yeah. And the way to win is to not equivocate about what is truly important.

In other words, no buts, no more. Iraq is a fucking dealbreaker for me. Anyone who wants my support needs to get straight on it. NOW.

4. Hillary and Kerry are a large part of the reason that Bush's speech
about Dems revising history about the war seemed somewhat effective today. These two, (along with some others) still uphold our going to war and our remaining there. Why do we need them?

6. Very good, but just add one thing:
Out of Iraq, yes, AND NO WAR ON IRAN OR SYRIA! Neither one is a threat to us such that it would justify a war against them.
