To which I replied above:
"You are wrong about that. 21 Democratic Senators voted NO in invading Iraq. 21. Not just Boxer.
Sens. Akaka (D-HI), Bingaman (D-NM), Boxer (D-CA), Byrd (D-WV), Conrad (D-ND), Corzine (D-NJ), Dayton (D-MN), Durbin (D-IL), Feingold (D-WI), Graham (D-FL), Inouye (D-HI), Kennedy (D-MA), Leahy (D-VT), Levin (D-MI), Mikulski (D-MD), Murray (D-WA), Reed (D-RI), Sarbanes (D-MD), Stabenow (D-MI), Wellstone (D-MN), and Wyden (D-OR).
Also 1 Independent, Mr Jeffers. And 1 Republican, not Hagel, but Lincoln Chafee.
So now I have shown you how wrong you were about the Senate Democratic roll call on the IWR twice. Because you did not bother to read not address the correction of your false statement about 21 good, courageous Democrats who voted NO. Boxer was among them, of course. One of 21 Democrats to vote NO.
Those 21 Democrats did the right thing. I am sorry that fact is disturbing your screed.
