There's also no indication of where Greens stand on the issue. I'm still trying to discover that myself. In other Democrat/Republican hybrid news: Lincoln Chafee is running for president as a Democrat. I'm definitely looking forward to hearing what he has to say.
Unlike Webb, who ran as an antiwar candidate at a time when
Democrats had already turned on Iraq, Chafee was one of only seven Republicans
who voted against authorizing the Iraq invasion that Clinton supported. “It
just wasn’t evident that Saddam was a threat,” he says, bothered still. “It was
all talk. And now we live with the ramifications.”
In fact, despite enormous pressure, Chafee opposed virtually
the entire Bush agenda in the Senate, including tax cuts for the wealthy. He is
an ardent environmentalist (his father, Sen. John Chafee, was a hero of the
movement), and he endorsed Obama twice.
Is it any wonder he's no longer a Republican, unless you are afflicted with Funiciello Syndrome.
