49. Meanwhile
People like me and thousands of other average citizens in this country knew it was a huge mistake to give bush that power. Why were we able to see it and not them?

In my opinion, it was pandering because she and the others did not want to appear "weak" to the average warmongering, ignorant American. So they voted for the war even though the real enemy, who supposedly was Osama bin Ladin, had nothing to do with Iraq.

And if they would have read online newspapers from Europe as I did, they would have seen a complete different scenario about Iraq's alleged WMDs.

For the record, I was supporting Florida Senator Bob Graham for the 2004 primary before he dropped out, who did not vote for the war. After he withdrew, I supported Clark. Then I finally volunteered and voted for Kerry.

In times like these, pandering is not going to help the dems because it will be thrown back in our face. It's time to step up aggressively and fight these fuckers on everything. That is what our warmongering citizens respect.
