44. Your rationalization of him as an anti-war candidate is related to your
hero worship.

I like Obama. I think he's a pretty good guy, and he often votes as I like on a number of issues.
But that doesn't give him the right to try to have his cake and eat it too. Even superman doesn't have that right. Of course you could never convince Superman's adoring fans to admit that.

Votes do have consequences, and consequently, his voting record on the war has been to fund it everytime, 4 or 5 times now. Everytime george has asked Obama has complied.

I like Dennis' stand on the issues. I just wish he looked like Obama, because it wouldn't hurt his chances in the campaign. With Dennis' courage, intelligence, his honesty and compassion and Obama's good looks and charisma, and money, we'd change this country for the better.
