How do we march on?

Do we march on, as though nothing's changed? If so, we'll never be able to say, “Good riddance” to President Bush electing Senator John McCain president. With McCain, we get more of the same. He represents the old, guard warriors whose “victory, at any price tag patriotism,” drains the nation of its soldiers and treasure. Both Bush and McCain’s answer to the proper care of our troops is to have them die honorably in battle. Rather than admit error, apologize, and grant them a new GI Bill of Rights, it seems they’d rather have them return home in boxes. President Bush’s current man on the ground in Iraq, General Petraeus, reports to Congress tomorrow. The three presidential candidates will be there to ask their questions. I will be there also via the cable news outlets. My bet is the Petaeus report will parrot the president's obfuscated battle of lies. And McCain will laud the report because, to him, it's the proof to continue the wobbly, militaristic march to full victory whenever.

Added to this, if we elect the Clintons, we get more of the same, as THEY represent the same old politics of destruction, division, deceit, calculation, and scandal. Hello! Being dishonest and distrustful are not in the game plan anymore.

The mission’s accomplished when we vote for real change and turn the page! We must not be a nation perpetually at war.

With this lull in primaries, it will be interesting to see the candidates performing their day jobs. I'm looking forward to watching "Chairman Obama." I hope the media will cover it, however briefly I know.

Hillary has been despised for decades by Republicans and nothing would energize them more than running against her. Get real.

And you wouldn't even consider voting for McCain if you were really a Democrat. Please, if you can't muster a vote for Obama (because he IS going to get the nomination), then at least just stay home.

When they see their savings robbed through inflation from this idiotic war policy on Iraq and when they start to know some of the soldiers who are killed over there the American voter will realize that the only thing working about the surge is that the contractors are getting rich.

HP, you mean to tell me you want to continue the "surge" and continue to get our young men and women killed over in Iraq? Because that's exactly what will happen if you vote for McCain. Get ready to continue a war in Iraq, and don't forget we're probably get to go fight Iran. If you can stomach that then be my guest and vote for McCain in the Fall. But don't bitch later when you're kids end up getting drafted and dying overseas.

I personally would like to see Obama be the nominee. However if that happens to not be the case I will vote for Clinton because I think she will be far and above than McCain.

I'll be able to live with myself in this case. I just hope you'll be able to live with yourself.

I am an Obama fan, but I will vote for Clinton if she is the nominee. John McCain cannot be our next president. Listen to what he says, he is already starting to plead his case on Iran. If Bush and Chaney don't start something over there before they leave office, McCain will. Our Troops need to come home. We need someone to stop this. Vote Democrat in Nov.

HP and Brother Odd:

Yes, you can do what you will with your ballot. The question I would have of each of you is this: If Senator Clinton would be such a good candidate in the General Election, why is she not winning now?

I won't vote for Senator McCain in the General if Senator Obama is not the nominee. I care too much about the country. If Senator Clinton wins the nomination, I will vote for her though it would trouble me given her history.

This is about the country, not your nominee winning or losing.

We have no business being in Iraq. It is a civil war period. Are we going to intervene in civil wars all over the world? If so, get ready to reinstitute the Draft and get ready to up military spending. That should really send our country into the toilet in every way and then we're REALLY vulnerable to attack.

Bring the troops home. NO, I don't think it needs to be done precipitously but I do think it needs to be THE TOP PRIORITY. We can't possibly police the world alone, not while our economy is in the toilet over this one "war".

I am proud of those who answered the call to arms and in my heart and my head I honor their service, I am not proud of President Bush. I conduct my life in every positive American way but no, I am not proud of President Bush.

McCain scares me...he is so single minded. We had that tunnel vision with Bush (I am listening to McCain now).

Bring them home. Make our country strong again.

Tim, Reading, PA and RL / nyc....You two are the ones voting for McWar. You are doing it by supporting Obama. Hillary is the one that can and will bring the troops home and stop the blood shed. Now start the "She supported the war". This was before we knew what lying peices of trash bush and cheney were.

The Iraqi bottom line: We cannot afford this war to go on indefinitely! It is unsustainable! Petraeus' opinion is irrelevant; so is McCain's. There is no money for this now or in the future. Voters need to see this. We cannot afford this war. We need to concentrate on Afganistan where the real problems lie.

One reason why Hillary is behind is because of the media bashing she gets compared to Obama's free ride.
The media wants Obama nominated. It would make for better ratings when they do start bringing out his closet secrets. I voted for Hillary in the Pre and will again in the GE

We should be focusing on what questions will the candidates ask while on the committees. Will they ask about how the Iraqi are resolving (or not) their differences? Can we sustain the troop levels? Are the other token forces from other countries staying there and for how long? These are just some of the questions that should be asked by any reasonable senator, presidential candidate or not.
