Well thanks Jack, Amos & Ebbie, for doing such a stellar job of exemplifying EXACTLY what I was talking about in my opening post.

The TRUTH is, all of the candidates for president have supported Bush policy, and their voting records PROVE that.

Yet, for some reason, there is this cognitive dissonance, now that there are no more true anti-war candidates in the race.

None.

Clinton is NOT an anti-war candidate.

Obama is NOT an anti-war candidate.

An anti-war candidate would simply state they would end the war within days of taking office, by beginning an immediate withdrawal of troops.

Either that happens, or we have the Bush/McCain Hundred Years War doctrine taken up by whichever of the two Democratic candidates wins.

Regardless of who wins, you have NO candidates staking a clear, unequivocal claim that they will end this war NO MATTER WHAT, and bring all US troops home.

Those are the facts.

Yet, so many posters here will come into the thread and say, but Clinton says this or Obama never said that...

You have pulled the wool over your own eyes.

PLEASE read "Mistakes Were Made (But Not by Me): Why We Justify Foolish Beliefs, Bad Decisions, and Hurtful Acts", a book about this very dynamic.
