Thanks for the link, golfer. I can't vote for an anti-abortion candidate, especially one whose opposition to Medicaid insures that he won't be doing anything to make contraception more accessible to poor women (a policy that guarantees women's deaths since no one will ever be able to stop people having sex). That said, it's really refreshing to see a Republican candidate flatly stating the truth- that our interventionist policies in the Middle East over the last 50 years led to where we are today. I don't think there's an easy answer to that- we're still as oil-addicted as ever- but I think we can never find a way through these issues until we admit our own role in creating them. Gives me hope for the GOP. Now, if someone besides McCain (whom I can't stand) would actually speak out against torture, they'll really be getting somewhere...
Here's more excellent Bill Maher:
