Doing the Same Thing Over and Over Again

It's one definition of insanity.

Digby points to Naomi Klein and Jeremy Scahill:

...Many...say that if we want to end the war, we should simply pick a candidate who is not John McCain and help them win: We'll sort out the details after the Republicans are evicted from 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. Some of the most prominent anti-war voices--from MoveOn.org to the magazine we write for, The Nation--have gone this route, throwing their weight behind the Obama campaign.

This is a serious strategic mistake. It is during a hotly contested campaign that anti-war forces have the power to actually sway U. S. policy. As soon as we pick sides, we relegate ourselves to mere cheerleaders...

Obama has come the closest to actively opposing the war, but the reality is he's adopted one Clinton tactic of not trying to antagonize Bu$hie's Ba$e.

This is an incredible mistake. Meanwhile, the Company trolls with a minimal amount of work have turned both campaigns into mutual hate-fests, which is exactly what the Company and McSame want. The energy good people should be expending fighting the War and the great unraveling of our republic by the Republicans is spent vilifying the party opposition.

Which is just what the Company wants.
