    Your argument would be bolstered greatly if you would perhaps attempt to spell "different" correctly, rather than failing to do so in two separate posts.

    Who, pray tell, would be the consistent champion of progressive causes that you'd have preferred? Hillary? I deign to point out that she voted to authorize the very war that you're now attacking Obama for not withdrawing from quickly enough.
