You're voting for it. When somebody is 72 years old, then their V.P.'s views are very important. You don't want people to know what her views are? That's what's going on here. Her views are being listed. I don't think people know enough about the views of people they vote for. That's how that war keeps going on when the majority of Americans don't want it going on. When you vote for President you're voting for their possible replacement. Our next election for President is in 4 years(not like we are gunna vote for his replacement is some special election.) If he has a heart attack next summer, then we are gunna have this lady as President for three and a half years. This would be the oldest guy I can remember going in as president. That's why the 2nd in command's views need to be clear. Now is the time to worry about it. Not then. If you vote for her, then you need to take responsibility for what she does. Same as the people who voted for Bush need to take responsibility for those 4100 Americans that he got killed in Iraq.

i voted for bush. who would have known at the time what would happen after? that 911 would occur, that bush would decide to upset the whole middle east apple cart and do what everyone didn't want done in gulf one-to whit, give iran free reign by removing the one moron keeping them in check?
besides, congress has just as much responsibility-at least those who voted for the second iraq war-many of the dems at the time disagreed with the war, but didn't want to lose their next election. way to stand up for your principles congress! hell, we wanted revenge. now with the surge it looks as tho we may be out of iraq soon, which is a good thing--and something that mccain had right.
