    Default History could be made this November!

    My husband will likely cast the first-ever Democratic vote in his family. He refuses to vote for McCain.
    He was telling me last night that, to his knowledge, no one in his family has ever voted for a non-Republican candidate.
    Another indication that the GOP is going to hell.

    Really? I've voted for a Democrat on more than one occasion, but then again I imagine that I am a bit older than your husband and have been afforded more opportunities to cast a ballot.

    My husband refuses to vote for McCain because he think McCain is too liberal. And because McCain supports further escalation of the war.
    I don't think anyone in my husband's family has ever voted Democratic. They are pretty standard Orange County conservatives.

    All three candidates have the same position on the Iraq War. When put on the spot Clinton and Obama will admit that they will seek the advice of the military and then they will waffle until in office.

    so he votes for more liberal candidates because McCain is too liberal?

    I could see going third party or something for a less liberal person. but that just doesnt make sense to me.

    Ummmm are you dense? All three candidates do not have the same view on the war. Obama wants to throw up a white flag of defeat and Hillary cant even make her own mind up. McCain wants to fight this thing until it is over.

    Admitting that the war was a mistake and withdrawing forces is not exactly "admitting defeat."
    The current administration fucked up by invading. Obama will solve that by getting out.

    Just think how much good we could have done in our own country with a TRILLION DOLLARS, (and still counting).

    Yeah this war has been a fuck up on a grand scale since the beginning.

    Yep. old (and I mean OLD) John McLame wouldn't be bothered if we stayed in Iraq for 100 years.

    I don't see how eliminating a ruthless dictator bent on obtaining power to mass kill and allowing the people to have power is a mistake.

    I think we have a responsibility to fix what we break.
