What after that, 2020?
Clinton, Obama and Edwards all agree that’s the new deadline for withdrawal from Iraq, per their New Hampshire debate comments.
First, given that they are backpedaling again, why should we consider even this a deadline written in anything more durable than sand? That goes in spades for Clinton after her vote for the Lieberman-Kyl amendment, which could be setting the stage for military action against Iran to boot.
Second, why do so many progressive bloggers, whether individuals or members of the group blog Watching Those We Choose, continue to maintain a “run Democrats up the flagpole and salute” attitude, and denigrate people who talk about voting Green or exploring other third-party options, at least if a pro-war Democrat gets the nomination?
Blogging was supposed to be liberating, and freeing of individual thoughts.
But, it appears that, in many cases, it’s just given rise to new forms of groupthink and collective blather. That’s why I’m considering withdrawing from active participation in such group blogs.
