So what? Most everyone sometime in their lives and made wrong choices and/or been flim-flammed by smooth talkers (think Bill Clinton). His choice of vote has NO bearing on his now forthcoming.
I think it does. It is a rare thing to see the members of the Free Republic supporting the liberal point of view. And this guy is most certainly a liberal. For sure he is expressing what is normally considered a far left viewpoint on national security.
That doesn't mean he (and the Freepers) are wrong on this issue but you have to admit it is highly unusual.
Now if it turns out that he really a wild eyed Libertarian (like me) then I will eat my words. But I don't expect that. In any case it is an interesting turn of events.
This guy came forward because Obama did not reject the policies originally adopted by Bush post-9/11. In other words, Obama is not far enough left for him.
