104. The peace out was to imply why I am against your suggestion of Sen Clinton. IWR
My family and I have been strong opponents against the war since it started. We just finished our 6th year anniversary of the Iraq war by marching in upper 30's, pouring rain. If more senators had bothered to stand up for what was right back in 2002, there would be countless lives saved, and we would not have this frightening deficit hanging over not only our economy but that of our children. It takes real leadership to make unpopular hard decisions. Sen Clinton failed in that test, and she failed again in voting for Kyl-Lieberman. I suggest watching Sen Jim Webb's floor speech just prior to the Kyl Lieberman vote. Another vote demonstrating lack of leadership.

Peace, social justice, environmental concerns, fair trade and election integrity are all important issues to me. The research I have done to chose a candidate all points AWAY from Sen Clinton on these issues.
