Go read “The Quiz Show on Iraq” and take the quiz. It’s an eye-opener and the bottom line is “for any of them (especially one particular candidate) to disingenuously claim to have been consistently anti-war would be more than laughable. ” I’ve said here before that Obama’s “I’m the anti-war candidate” don’t fly with me because, after elected, when “the opportunity to oppose the war on many occassions once in the Senate, he did not.

Durbin’s Hypocrisy
I have watched an interesting pattern develop for some time now, that I know others have observed as well. When Hillary Clinton or any of her surrogates attempt to draw distinctions between herself and Barack Obama, they are accused of attacking Barack Obama personally.
