back at the beginning of the iraq war, which tim enthusiastically
supported and gill opposed, tim impugned gills patriotism for
opposing it and saying that W was lying. tim only turned against the
war when the advantage turned that way (because of opponents of the
war like gill)<br>

The reason I will vote for Gill is because of his position
supporting expanding medicare for all and his changed
and improved position against the continued occupation of
Afganistan and his refusal to accept corporate money.<br>
If the democratic party has any future it will need to have
more candidates like David Gill.<br>
I hope he doesn't flip flop once he is elected, I have had
that happen all too often in the past.<br>
