1. I didn't know we only had four candidates.
sorry, if I'm going somewhere for a comparison, how reliable is a site that ignores half the field?

2. "Bill Richardson is the only major candidate who wants ALL the troops out now "
"Bill Richardson is the only major candidate who wants ALL the troops out now and pledges to end the war his first day in office and have ALL the troops out in 2009.
2009 or 2013 – it's our choice."
Perhaps Richardson's idea of 'major candidate' differs from the others.
He's in a virtual tie for third in New Hampshire with Edwards.
How's Biden doing? And what's the date he has pledged to get all of our troops out of Iraq?

3. What are you quoting?
The website says Richardson is the "only candidate"... not only major candidate.

I was sticking up for DK.

If you want to know Biden's plan for Iraq, check the Senate resolution that passed by 75 votes.

4. "only major candidate" - in the gray box below the deaths/casualties/dollars o-meter.
Bill Richardson is the only major candidate who wants ALL the troops out now and pledges to end the war his first day in office and have ALL the troops out in 2009.
2009 or 2013 – it's our choice.

Show you’ve got his back on ending the war with a contribution of $20.13 now.

"Clinton, Obama, and Edwards won't even commit to having all our troops out by 2013."
2013 Is Too Late is a response to that.

6. "What the @$#! ?" - from www.2013IsTooLate.com
I think we've all thought "What the @$#! ?" when the Big Three said we're stuck there until at least 2013.
"2013 What the @$#! ? We won't wait that long!"
"Sign the petition: We want a President who will end the war their first day of office and who has the guts to commit to having ALL the troops out in 2009."
"Clinton, Obama, and Edwards won't even commit to having all our troops out by 2013. SERIOUSLY. Six more years of war -- isn't the cost already too high?"

8. Strange how this site ignores the ONLY candidate...
...that refused to vote for the Iraq War Authorization and has refused to support every Iraq War funding bill...

Then again, it's POLITICS, so perhaps it is not so strange.


"I think it's inconsistent to tell the American people that you oppose the war and, yet, you continue to vote to fund the war. Because every time you vote to fund the war, you're reauthorizing the war all over again." -- Dennis Kucinich
