Do you vote your emotions, not your mind?

I like to check the Drudge report as he usually leads Bush by about a day on who is next to be bashed. It is fun to see them ask who Michael J. Fox thinks he is to be speaking out for political concerns. And that John Kerry - who is not running for anything - is an outrage for suggesting that being sent to Iraq is not a pleasant prospect for 18 year olds. Issues? Naw. Bush would rather scream about Democrats being traitors.
The issue? Iraq. All other issues pale in comparison. We are destroying a country. We have no right to decide we will spread democracy by war. In fact, that is absurd on its face. We tried to conquer a country and milk it for its oil wealth. We failed and now Bush doesn't know what to do. We voters must put a check on his idiotic actions - and that check is a Congress with a majority of Democratic Party members. That is the issue. Many right wingers are still blindly supportive of this war - but now many true conservatives are realizing that Bush has led us into a quagmire in Iraq and will probably lead us further if a Republican Congress is retained.
Again - to my anti-war readers - - please vote for Rick Larsen and Maria Cantwell as we need the Democratic Party control of Congress. That is our only chance of slowing or stopping the madness.
