CITIZEN ALERT v1.12
ENDORSEMENTS
Lieberman LOOOOSES! Yep. Did you get THAT message Joe? And what does Mr. Democratically DIS-elected have to say in response to the voters who ousted him?
"I cannot and will not let that result stand."
Yeah, Joe, I don't think Castro couldn't have said it better himself. Way to be American!
Now, even I have Senators I like that support the war in Iraq, but there are ways of supporting it intelligently rather than just caving into the party line. Hillary Clinton is finding that out I believe as the Presidential election draws closer. She seems to be focusing on a "failed policy" approach to her whole critique on the war nowadays leading some pundits to calling it "repositioning". Eh, I guess I gotta give them that one. And frankly, even though I enjoy irking my family by supporting Hillary, I have to yank my support for Hillary in 2008 as a Presidential nominee. Before you scream at me, here's why: It would remove the war issue from the debate during the election.
During the run up to 2004 election I was a Dean man. He was on top of the issues and most importantly, he was a governor with no congressional voting record running against an ex-governor. He would have smoked George. Instead, we heard about "waffling" and "he voted for the war before he voted against it" nonsense. Instead of removing the voting record issue, we gave it them. This election, we want to do the opposite of what we should have done last election by doing what we actually did do last election: Don't remove it, give it to them.
We must have the war issue in the next election at the top of the list and to be honest it wouldn't hurt to have a candidate who voted for the war. The DEMS will not win the war debate with Hillary because she supports the war and is now seen has "repositioning herself on it". They're going to tear her apart because I haven't heard a plan from her on what to do next other than the usual condemnation of unilateral foreign policies and asking Rummy to resign.
Joe Biden on the other hand....now, here's a guy who knows, and I mean knows what's going on in the middle east. Not only that, HE CAN EXPLAIN IT TO YOU! Nation Journal just released a survey naming Senator Biden "the most trusted Democrat when it comes to issues concerning foreign policy and national security" - beating out even Bill "Elvis" Clinton.
If you've ever heard Biden talk, you'd know he's clear headed, to the point, and puts it in terms that even Ben Affleck can understand. He's been in the game since 1972 (not a big fan of that, but), and he's the top Democrat on the Foreign Relations Committee. We can debate the war issue with Biden as our guy. He voted for it, so they can't come at him with their weak Democrat angle, he voted for it intelligently so he can still come at them over their failures.
That is why CITIZEN ALERT is, at this time, endorsing Senator Biden in 2008 for President, and to further irk my family, I would enjoy a Biden/Clinton ticket because I do think Hillary would make a great Vice President and a great President one day. I think VP is her best shot at the White House though. Sorry Hill, you gotta wait til 2016.
