Well to turn your question on its side....Where is the anti war left now? Nary a peep. They would seem to have plenty to protest about....we are still in Iraq, did a surge in Afghanistan, still are in Afghanistan, bombed Libya, and have had targeted killings of american citizens.

Yeah you get a few....but most have disapeared into the woodwork making it seem to me that they were protesting out of partisanship rather than out of a core belief.

Which is true. And frankly, I understand why. The anti-war left has a choice - accept Obama despite his war mongering - or risk electing a Religious nutcase like Perry and his ilk. Though I'm not sure that an actual Republican could be much worse than Obama.
