Reply #8: No booing from me, Edwards advocated invading Iraq while

[slipslidingaway]

instilling fear by invoking the attacks on 9/11. When Bush, Cheney etc. did this we called it marketing the war, but people are willing to give Edwards a pass because he is SAYING the right things now. Bush said he was not into nation building during his campaign.

This is more than a question on just this vote, it is about the type of person we want to make the next decisions. Should we promote someone who did not look at everything before casting a vote that has cost our nation dearly now and in the future?

On 9/12/02 Edwards gave his speech on the senate floor and the same day Bush was making a case against Iraq before the UN :(
