When the roll is called up yonder . . .

From the Nation:

The Nation therefore takes the following stand: We will not support any candidate for national office who does not make a speedy end to the war in Iraq a major issue of his or her campaign. We urge all voters to join us in adopting this position. Many worry that the aftermath of withdrawal will be ugly, and there is good reason to think they are right. But we can now see that the consequences of staying will be uglier still. Fear of facing the consequences of prolonging the war will be worse.

We firmly believe that antiwar candidates, with the other requisite credentials, can win the 2006 Congressional elections, the 2008 Democratic presidential primaries and subsequent national election. But this fight, and our stand, must begin now.

An interesting point, and frankly one that I have been reluctant to endorse because I thought it was more important to get Democrats - any Democrats - elected in place of Republicans.

But times indeed are a-changin' (thanks, Bobby).

Hillary, if you want my support, you will need to take a stand. Admit that your vote was wrong and that you have seen the error of your ways. John Kerry, stop pontificating about mixed messages on intelligence and admit it - you voted for the war because you thought you could not be elected with a "nay" vote.

It's time to total the tally. I will not support any Democrat who continues to support this illegal, this dreadful and society-killing war.

Get Out Now! - and if possible, bring to trial the war criminals who got us into it.
