re: #315 HappyWarrior

I am glad he voted correctly about all those things and that makes me think he’d be a great legislator and one I’d honestly be lucky to have compared to the one I have now who made her bones in the Clinton years trying to bring down Bill.

Here’s the thing: so few of Sanders’ achievements (for lack of a better word) illustrate to me that he weighed a complex set of variables with care and circumspection and made the right challenging choice.

If you vote against every military action, and then you vote against Operation Iraqi Freedom, does that mean you were right about being suspicious about WMD evidence, or concerned about igniting a broader conflict in the region, or an inability to set up a better replacement government to replace the Saddam power vacuum? Or does it just mean you vote against every military action?
