Moreover, the D's were all about the WMD in Clinton's 8 years and many people were killed in the name of them. True, a country was not invaded, but that hardly excuses killing in the name of them by anyone and no matter how little? Here is Pres. Clinton's speech, which I suggest W could have used almost verbatim in 92:

There are other examples, but I think the foregoing illustrates the point.

In the end, I agree the D's are mostly better than the R's. But, the differences are hardly that significant in the big picture and both have killed in the name of the same thing though to varying degrees.

I regret Nader's entrance because now the D's have IMO less of a chance of winning. Though I do not really like the D's, they are IMO the lesser of two evils in this situation.

Except wasn't Saddam still cooperating when Bush went in?
