[Sosfbay-discuss] "The Nation" supports antiwar candidates

[Gerry Gras]

The Nation magazine will ONLY support antiwar candidates.

Re Democratic Party leaders: "Can such politicians, who cannot even
follow a majority--in the Democratic Party, a large majority--really
be considered leaders?"

And their attitude towards endorsements:
"The Nation therefore takes the following stand: We will not
support any candidate for national office who does not make a
speedy end to the war in Iraq a major issue of his or her
campaign. We urge all voters to join us in adopting this
position. Many worry that the aftermath of withdrawal will be
ugly, but we can now see that the consequences of staying will
be uglier still. Fear of facing the consequences of Bush's
disaster should not be permitted to excuse the creation of a
worse disaster by continuing the occupation."
