Why Would Anyone Against George Bush's Wars Vote For a Democrat?

I believe if you think back to the last election in 2006 you will remember that the Democratic Party ran with the promise of stopping the war in Iraq, and bringing our troops home.

The Democrats are now the majority Party in both the House and the Senate, but they keep right on funding Bush's wars. They are about to give George Bush another 165 billion dollars to keep the war going well into next year.

In case you are wondering, we are still losing at least one American Soldier or Marine a day, and on average ten are wounded. So, if you vote for the Democrats, you will know you are voting for a Party that has funded George Bush's wars just as well as the Republicans did when they we in the majority.

If you stick with either of the two major parties you are voting to have things remain the same as they have been for the last eight years. The Democrats are the Republicans, and the Republicans are the Democrats.

Yes, if you vote a third party, your candidate will probably lose, but if we don't start voting differently soon, it probably will be too late. At the rate Washington is destroying our rights under the Constitution, we could very well lose the right to vote sometime in the near future.

Think about the freedoms you had thirty years ago, and think of what you have today. Scary huh?
