"I find it surprising now, in 2008, how many Democrats are running for president after shirking their constitutional duty to check and balance this president....Being wrong about sending Americans to kill and be killed, maim and be maimed, is not like making a punctuation mistake in a highway bill," wrote Lincoln Chaffee.

Clinton knew what she was voting for when she voted to attack Iraq exactly as Obama knows what he is voting for every time he votes to fund the war and increase our military budget.

Does this country need 100 thousand more soldiers? Obama thinks so. Does our Army - stretched thin covering the world - need several more divisions? Hillary thinks so.

Hillary visited The Wall to show her support for Israel. Obama flew over The Wall in an IDF helicopter. Change.

Hillary spells change "Madeleine Albright". Obama spells change "Zbigniew Brezinski" and Brookings Institute.

Neither can spell single payer health care. Both can spell mandated private insurance.

Yes, there are differences between Obama and Clinton. Obama said Reagan was a better president than Bill Clinton. Hillary would disagree.

On the big issues: toxic planet, climate change,economic inequality, resource depletion and never-ending growth - both are missing in action. As were Bill and Ronnie. Neither represents change; both represent more Business-As-Usual. And more Business-As-Usual is not going to make our lives better, because it's Business-As-Usual that's choking us now.

The effects of Business-As-Usual, the effects of Business-Gone-Wild - the widespread environmental and ecological destruction of our planet and its web of life - are showing up across the board. They show up in our tax bills. They show up in climate change. How much longer can we find the resources to maintain empire? How much of our last resources will we pour into the budding police state in order to maintain order when the resistance starts?

It's past time to look outside of the box. Caucus "None of the Above", caucus uncommitted, for Cynthia McKinney, Elvira the Eel, Sacco Potato or Pigasus. This train is going the wrong direction. If we can't turn it around, we need to slow it down.
