Change You Can Believe In: Update

Sen. Yes-We-Can has, during his brief Senate career, consistently voted to fund the Iraq occupation which he also wants credit for opposing, sort-of kind-of. Now he's announced Sen. Biden as his selected VP nominee, thus underlining yet again his commitment to American imperial dominance of the world. In case you hadn't remembered, here's Sen. Biden in October 2002:
Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Joseph R. Biden Jr. (D-Del.) said the country's new enemies -- terrorists and the nations harboring them -- warrant a new response. "The speed and stealth with which an outlaw state or terrorists could use weapons of mass destruction, and the catastrophic damage they could inflict, require us to consider new ways of acting, not reacting," Biden told the Senate.
Be sure to vote, now. Voting changes things. That's what everybody says -- it must be so.
