But when we support a platform that is the lesser of two evils, we are supporting an evil. I'm fairly sure that more than 50% of the American people disagree with the war in Iraq. Did we have a candidate of the two parties (with a freaking chance) that wanted to simply pull out? Nope. G.W. obviously wants it to continue in the same fashion he established it. Kerry wanted to pull out after years. And we all know if it isn't an ass or an elephant, it isn't worth voting for.
Politicans are aware. They pander to the lesser demands to support their own (usually selfish) agendas.
