Gilchrist is recognized more nationally while not so compatible with the very conservative 48th District. His oposition to the Iraq invasion is liberal.
He should be admired for his work on illegal immigration and service in the Vietnam War, but he's displaying liberal flip-flopping on the Iraq War.

This has been explained to you several times in this thread, J.Scott. If you don't mind my saying so, I don't think you're bright enough to be in Congress, and that's going some.
In no way is it a flip-flop. Gilchrist's position was that he was opposed to the invasion of Iraq. However, he was outvoted on that. We are there. We must finish the job. Many respectable conservatives have taken the same position. Many took exactly that position in the first Gulf War. The liberal position is that we are immoral and must leave immediately, if not sooner.
You insist on seeing no difference between those two positions. That's because, IMO, you're a water carrier for teh RINOs who run the California GOP.
