3. As a former military member, I could not vote to cut off funding and leave our troops without what
they need. We have a NUT in the whitehouse who has no problem using them as political pawns.

These men and women have suffered enough for this mistake.

We need a new president with the resolve to get them out quickly and safely and the ability to negotiate with other nations to get the assistance needed to stablize Iraq without a US presence.

We need to get bush the hell out of the whitehouse and get diplomacy working again.

I'm more concerned about voting for someone who has shown that she has no problem authorizing a "preemptive" (although there was nothing to pre-empt) war of choice than I am voting for someone who votes to keep the troops in body armour and decent equipment until we can get them out!
