What bills has he sponsored to end the war?
He is a SENATOR. He has power. Has he used that power to at least TRY to end the war?

1. He hasn't taken much of a stance on anything
He has only sponsored and passed two bills in the Senate (one of them renamed a post office).

4. You're supporting someone who voted for it.
Your point is?

5. When you didn't support putting a ball in motion, dealing with a moving one is more problematic.
Many of us probably think that both candidates and our Democratic Congress could have done more to end the war, but the primary difference between Obama and Clinton is that Clinton's vote in favor of the Iraq War Resolution aided in putting the war in motion that is still killing people today. It's hard to argue around that one.
