122. I find Iraq an important issue as well, and I find Kerry's statements on
Edited on Thu Dec-16-04 01:44 AM by mzmolly
the floor of the Senate "when he voted for inspections" to be important in addition. I find it such an important issue that I refuse to abandon the many DEMOCRATS who rallied, voted and worked hard to fight against this war.

I enjoy watching the so called anti-war progressives enable more PNAC led wars via their dislike of the actions of a few Democrats. 70% of Democrats opposed the war in Iraq before the war.

Allow me to break down the Anti-War vote for you.

133 House members voted AGAINST THE WAR, 126 of which were Democrats.

23 Senators opposed the authorization for war ... 21 of those were DEMOCRATS.

Of the 155 total votes against the war, 147 NO VOTES came from Democrats, 8 no votes came from Republicans. The Democrats I noted, were lied to. They were told Saddam had nukes, that he was about to use them, that he was linked to 911, that he was an *imminent* danger and ... that we'd only go to war if we had to. In spite of the post 911 era, and the many lies by the * administration, they held to their convictions and voted NO.

Your Naderesque statements about Dems being soft core Republicans are quite predictable. :eyes: Been there, done that and not only is it a bore, I think I've demonstrated otherwise. :boring:
