Presidential Candidates - Wrong Ones Running

In 2008, America will be voting in one of the most important elections in U.S. history. Our vote will determine whether we write the final chapter in our ill-advised war in Iraq, and rejoin the world community. Yet we have before us candidates who voted to allow George W. Bush to go to war based on evidence that would not have passed muster with a local police department. Of the 23 U.S. Senators who voted against this Iraq war resolution in 2002, none are running for president. We have John McCain, Joseph Biden, Sam Brownback, Chuck Hagel, Hillary Clinton, and John Edwards who voted to allow President Bush to take us to war. On one of the most important votes of this century, they let America down. For this one reason, I'm not sure any of them should be elected presdent. We need a fresh voice who will get us out of Iraq; somebody who is not tied to the past. That leaves us with Rudy Guiliami and Barack Obama. Mr. Guiliami supports President Bush's policy on Iraq; Mr Obama does not. Enough said.
