(55,981 posts)50. I have been looking for a copy of Sen Dashell's impassioned speech before he voted.
I watched it live on TV and he said tons about why we shouldnt go to war in Iraq. Then to my shock and huge disappointment he voted for the resolution. IMO he bowed before King George, the DimSon, and kissed his feet. If prayer worked he would have been struck by a lightening bolt right there.
And yes I was shocked. I admit to being naive to think that our Congressional Democratic representatives would do the right thing. They didnt want to look unpatriotic. For that, they allowed the deaths of thousands of American soldiers and close to a million innocent Iraqis. In their next lives, I hope they come back as roaches. And I dont mean the good kind.

Sometimes, when I get disillusioned with the Dem party, I think back to these things.
