(34,179 posts)But again, that is because I focus on ISSUES, not the person who is in office. I don't change my position on such issues when the letter behind the president's name changes.
I am a vociferous opponent of our war in Afghanistan, just as I'm a vociferous opponent of our drone policy, and the tearing down of civil liberties and the shredding of our Constitution. Furthermore, I am an environmentalist, critical of the Keystone XL pipeline, and I'm opposed to any further shredding of our social safety net.
My position on those issues has been consistent across the years and administrations. For, after all, it is issues that matter. So yes, when it comes to those issues, and others that are near and dear, you will find that I am critical of this administration. But you will also find, going back into the archives, that I was just as critical of Bush on those issues.
That is what it means to be consistent, you stand on the issues, not the person.
Where do you stand, with the issues or with the man?
