Oh yeah! Hillary. Here's a reality check. Money for the war is appropriated by Congress. Congress is voting to spend money on the war in Iraq. Last I checked the Congress is being run by the Democrats. All these posts about waisted money in Iraq...and yet I seem to remember a grand speech on the Senate floor by...who was that again?

Create a different avenue to allocate (and review) something one may call 'directed spending'. I think it's positive that McCain did not use earmarks - although the situation and need is different in every state. He can't get too much milage out of this though ... especially as a Republican.

People like McCain and Bush make taxes a dirty word, but give me a break... a study by the JEC showed that the Iraq war has cost the average American family of 4 almost $21,000 since 2002. More importantly it has cost us lives, drained our military (which is arguably a bigger national security risk than the Muslim extremist boogeymen in another part of the world), and fueled politically instability that will haunt us for a long time. Some of you have commented on this point being irrelevant, but it's not. There are bigger things going on here than earmarks. I hate to perpetuate partisanship, but Republicans want you to focus on how high your taxes are so much that you overlook the good things that the sacrifice can get us. There are Western nations out there that are able to get their people better health care and better access to education. People in their sheltered worlds might not understand that not everyone has access to what they have access too, but it's time you open your eyes and learn. It's not as black and white as "he's just unemployed because he's lazy". McCain will do nothing for the health care issue in this country. He wants intelligent design to be taught in our schools. He wants to overturn Roe v. Wade. This is not who we need as a leader and the fact that polls have shown this would not be a landslide victory for either Clinton or Obama after the Bush administration makes me extremely disappointed in both the American people and the Democratic party. On a side note, if the Republican party really supported the troops they would see to it that they were paid as much as Blackwater.
