because of his support to stop this war.

2. Didn’t these politicians ever hear of PNAC?

...Wasn’t there over twenty democrats who voted against it?

I don't think anyone who voted yes to the IWR should be our president.

3. Why would it make some uncomfortable?

That was in 2002. When someone wasn't even in the Senate. If this is what your pinning all your hopes on, good luck with that. The American people have moved on and are looking for a leader. Thats why Hillary is where she is in the polls.

5. This hiding the truth and saying Americans "have moved on" brought to you by...

On TV and the web everywhere...

[William769]

6. Ok, show me where Americans haven't moved on about this vote.

I'll be waiting patiently.

ON EDIT: Being the kind person that I am I will even point you in the right direction.

7. Well since Americans just think the war is going so well...

I'm assuming you think people are stupid.

Thats ok, we understand.
