| 144. Did you urge him to escalate the war in Afghanistan? |

Edited on Tue Jun-15-10 07:44 AM by muffin1
Did you urge him to back 'drill, baby, drill'? Did you urge him to continue renditions? To strengthen and continue the Patriot Act? Did you urge him to dawdle when repealing DADT? So when he did these things, what did you say to him or his advisers?
Have you challenged his views on marriage being between a man and a woman? What about the public option - did you urge him to fight for it, or were you OK with the insurance companies getting millions more (mandated) customers with no competition?
I don't see any of you decrying this crap. All I see is defense of the indefensible.
