Reply #46: Sorry, but these so-called attacks, are much

needed criticism to me. Was Dick Gephardt representing me when he stood shoulder to shoulder with George Bush and promoted an illegal invasion of Iraq? No! Was Joe Lieberman representing me when he said we should tone down our criticism of GWB and the lies he told to get us into that illegal invasion? No. Where was Kerry when he had to take some political risk and cast a vote that was not popular but was correct on the authorization to go to war? He was cowering behind the GOP.


In January, Dean gave a speech against the invasion. That was when the majority of Americans strongly supported the war. If the coward Senators and Congresspeople wanted a united front on Iraq, they should have done what was right when it required some risk. Now they want to dissemble their records and say "me too." It's too late. Dean's criticisms are entirely legitimate. I for one am glad someone is pointing out that to beat George Bush you have to stop agreeing with George Bush.
