I agree with this post, but I also feel bad about all those Democrats, like Hillary Clinton, John Kerry, and John Edwards who voted for the Iraq war. I think they are now part of the problem. I’m for Al Gore in 2008. At least he didn’t vote for the war.
America needs Russ in the White House.

Thanks for your time.
