Reply #110: I didn't ask for your defense, I

[waiting for hope]

was asking for the sense of voting for the Byrd Amendment and the the very next day, voting to go to war. Let's not pretend here that in 2001/2002, this country was not screwed up and in so many ways, and regardless of any votes, PNAC and the BFEE were taking this country to war whether we liked it or not. I don't care too much for Edwards vote myself, but he has apologized and taken ownership and responsibility for it and I respect him for that. As for my support of Edwards, let me explain it to you this way, I have two small children and the future he is proposing is the one I want my children to have. He has hit the nail on every head of what is ailing this country and big corporations are just the tip of the iceberg. He has the most thought out, detailed plans on so many issues, from combating poverty to restoring trust in America with the rest of the world. I chose to look forward, not back.

Good luck to your candidate, whomever that may be.
