I think we should stop trying to control everything. Their country, their lives. At most, give them enough time to prepare for our departure.

Let me clarify - they are not children. If they want to kill each other when we leave, it is their decision.

Centrists are replaceable and expendable. The base is not.

Centrists are like fair weather friends. They come and go with the wind.

But the base. Once you lose a member of the base, you lose that member forever. Like the right wing says "theres nothing better than a reformed lefty"

I've been a centrist Dem since 1980.
A Dem. since I was old enough to know what it was -1960.

Then what does your veiled threat about "driving away the center" mean? If Obama brings our troops home faster than you would like, would you abandon him in righteous indignation and support the Republican or would you just not vote or what?

I will vote Dem. I will support Obama, and vote for him in the general if he wins the nomination.
