Why should we not? If we're in the UN, we're in for a reason and obviously if we're staying, we're staying because we want to. What you just said is ridiculously close minded and counter progressive. This man is clearly not qualified for the job, not even in the minds of the people who are supposed to appoint him. I've heard the Constitution argument from you before, mainly towards judicial activism. Recess appointments? Where's your "stick to the Constitution" argument now?

I think you contradicted yourself in this post. You say, hey, if polls show America doesn't care about the UN, why not send a man with the views that Bolton has towards the UN. Then you go and say the UN needs reforming. If the UN needs reforming, then why the hell did Bush appoint a man who doesn't even believe we should belong to the organization?
But it don't take much to get me by
So just booze me up and get me high
