This is legitimate and you are not compromising your libertarian and other principles. This is an all important elections, after all. Susan Einsenhower, the lifelong Republican, and daughter of Dwight Einsenhower, has endorsed (first Ron Paul) and then Barack Obama. Yet one could ask why do you not support Nader, like before, for the same reason. Would it be as you think a vote for Nader could well be a wasted vote? Now with regard to Obama's main foreign policy advisers Zbigniew Brzezinski and his son Mark (daughter Mika is with MSNBC and one son or family member is part of McCain's team) is IMHO an issue of great concern: he could lead the US out of Iraq (after 16 months?) indeed, but is actually more dangerous than the neoconservatives, in that Brzezinski ( a born Polish) seeks a fight with Russia and China (e.g. bigger and stronger militaristic nations), e.g. a new cold war. Obama would of course not elaborate on this and I think he will with his relative little experience be dependent upon his advisers with foreign policy decisions and thinking. Also: the ultimate decision on the Democratic candidate will be only in two months at the earliest. Hillary (a monster indeed) is extremely determined to get the presidency and she will not give up without a strong fight. What do you do if there is a forced Obama/Clinton or CLinton/Obama ticket? In order to further the cause of pull-out of Iraq and the adoption of a non-interventionist foreign policy, is it not a better strategy to focus on an impeachment of Bush/Cheney etc. Bruce Fein, adviser also to Ron Paul is advocating this and with his re-election kucinich and others are in a stronger position to bring about such action in congress. One can also look at international legal efforts against Bush/Cheney with regard to the illegitimate Iraq war & invasion and combine with them, if Congress does not have the guts to go ahead with it. The announcement of such a process of legal action alone (once Bush/Cheney are out of office and looses their diplomatic immunity) could help a lot in swaying and pressuring the GOP (War party as you call them) to radically abandon Bush/Cheney, also McBush (McCain = Bush3) and any interventionist policy, in any case in Iraq. This could pave the way for a Ron paul nomination. Of course this is not such a likely scenario, but certainly a possibility and should be looked into. One cannot do much about congress decisions, but one could co-ordinate with international parties wanting to take such action against Bush/Cheney. I know a few years ago there is already a group (lawfirm) in Geneva, Switzerland representing political left with this intention. Sent at: 2008 11 23
