Reply #76: "Non-binding" is synonymous with "posturing and hypocritical lip service."

[TahitiNut]

... but "fraud" is close enough - and far more accurate than 'principled' or 'courageous' or even 'moderate.' I'll never understand how selling out on core values can be called 'moderate.' There's a time when compromising is synonymous with 'corrupt' and it has to do with core values and baseline principles.

Every day we continue to occupy Iraq is itself a war crime. Every day. We are in continuous violation of the Geneva Conventions and, in so doing, violating our own Constitution. There is absolutely NO COMPROMISE on this - it's every bit the equivalent of an overthrow of our constitutional democratic republic. Regaining it will only cost more and more in lives and suffering as each day goes by.

Our children and grandchildren should piss on our graves.
