for the repukes if something does change between now and then. That is why I don't like sitting in the middle trying to please everyone.

If Obama for example said I will pull the troops out within 6 months of my taking office, unless there is a dramatic change between now and then. Then follow that up with what he would qualify for a dramatic enough change to justify staying there. I might have more respect for that than fence sitting. I have no respect for fence sitting.

I for one want a president that says what he believes, and will stand up for what he believes, not lay down when a corporate interest asks you to.
