McCain does not want to withdrawal troops and he is still Interested in finding bin laden which a a good thing..
and what can they do to stop war?
1)they have to attend
2)vote
3) pass bills so that the president can veto them daily0 -

HIS PLATFORM IS NOT CONTINUATION OF WAR
Exactly, Obama said in Seattle he wants to end the war by 2009. It is amazing at this point in the process people are still trying to distort his positions. Its not going to work. He will sweep tomorrow and use that momentum to take with Ohio or Texas OR both. Get ready for Obama vs McCain.10.31.93 / 10.1.94 / 6.24.95 / 11.4.95 / 10.19-20.96 / 7.16.98 / 7.21.98 / 10.31.00 /8.4.01 Nader Rally/ 10.21.01 / 12.8-9.02 / 6.01.03 / 9.1.05 / 7.15-16,18.06 / 7.20.06 / 7.22-23.06 / Lolla 070 -

I will agree with you here. However, McCain has done plenty of tough talking on Iran that would lead the far right hawkish wing to believe he would go after Iran. Sometimes that is all it takes.0 -

He IS going into debates and voicing his support for continuing the war and supporting troop surges! do you deny this? do you need a youtube clip or something? have you watched any of the debates? THIS IS PART OF HIS PLATFORM0 -

i am educated.
so the president can't veto every bill that gets sent his way?
he is more powerful than the senate (and the house, which you keep leaving out) if they cant get enough votes to override a veto.
how can you deny this?0 -
and by the way. what is your education?0

you dont understand the system.. you think these votes go unnoticed? you dont think if there are votes everyday to end this thing it would go unnoticed by us??
use your brain..thats all iask... think about the idea of voting to end this thing everyday and the kind of pressure it would put on those who would like to keep their jobs in the senate and the president himself.0
