oops! Freudian typo! I meant Scott.
Scott - Obama has a few "abstains" on his record back in Ill, but the majority of votes, he can be counted for - I get where you're coming from, but despite what some in the media are saying, he does have a researchable voting record in both the US Senate and from his time in Ill.
What's more - Obama is opposed to the war in Iraq, not war or our military. In fact, at the latest briefing with Gen Petraeus called Obama's summation of facts "exactly right" Coming from Petraeus, that sounds like pretty good support for the military.
(erm, besides, all her tough talk about wiping nations off the face of the earth aside, it was her husband, whom she gained so much "experience" from, who shut down so many of our bases and sold us out to the Chinese, wasn't it?)
I may be mis-reading you and I appologize in advance if I am, but based on what you're saying, it kind of sounds like you're going off what's being said about Obama on the radio, not what his record actually shows.
Besides - Clinton is vowing to pull us out of Iraq just as Obama - the only difference is that she was a willing conspirator from the beginning, while Obama, seeing the long-term and not just the right-now, realized that this was a mistake.
But frankly, I stand by my previous statement - you should just switch parties. If Hillary is a little to the left of what you like, I don't see what you're getting out of the Democratic party. Just for peace of mind, you might want to sign up as Republican.
