Wilson, FDR, LBJ, and now O.
What the hell's the point of going to the polls to vote for peace?
And the GOP is no better.
I voted for Nixon in '72 and though he stopped using draftees pretty quickly the war dragged on through and beyond my entire term of service in the army.
I voted for GW in 2000, partly out of disgust with Bubba for so many things (don't get me started), partly because Big Al would not back away from liberal interventionism in the Balkans, partly because Al was such an arrogant blockhead, and partly because GW promised a less interventionist, "more humble" foreign policy.
And that worked out swell, too, didn't it?
Why do people vote at all?
O asks for broad congressional authorization for war on ISIS
He wants the resolution to neither exclude ground troops nor contain a time limit.
