Screw Strickland's Endorsement

I'm more than a little disappointed with Governor Strickland's endorsement of Clinton. I hate the way the GOP campaigns against Clinton, and the way the media talks aobut her, as I've said in other posts here (see my previous post). But progressives should have a hard time embracing someone who has the voting record Hillary does on the important issues of war and torture.

Strickland...said that it is unlikely a Democrat or Republican can be successful next year without winning Ohio and Clinton is the candidate who can speak to the issues Ohioans care about and carry the state.

Here are some issues this Ohioan cares about:

Why didn't Clinton do more to stop the nomination of Judge Mukasey, who doesn't know if waterboarding is torture?

Why is Clinton's chief strategist tied to Blackwater USA, with no statement from Hillary about this issue?

Why hasn't she done more to stop the war in Iraq?

Why is she planting questions, a la Bush press conferences, in campaign events?

Why did she vote to give the Bush administration tacit approval to attack Iran?

Why is she continuing to defend lobbyists and corporate entities and their control over our political process?

Sorry, governor, but if this is the best the Democrats can do I'd rather not have a party.
