5. They didn't vote for Bush to lie
They voted to disarm Saddam and gave Bush the military muscle he said he needed. They voted to have Bush work with the UN and use diplomacy to bring an end to any weapons Saddam and use force as a last resort. Did NOT vote to have Bush lie in the State of the Union and present false intelligence to Congress and the world in order to push for a war that wasn't necessary.

We can remember who did what and make our own conclusions and votes, but I kind of think it's important to back our Congress now. That's the only way to expose this Administration.

8. That would be the same Dems in the ROSE GARDEN standing shoulder
Edited on Wed Jul-16-03 05:11 PM by nothingshocksmeanymo
to shoulder with the Resident while Daschle was undermined. This is why Daschle does NOT get my IRE but Gephardt and Lieberman DO. The opposition to many of Bush's policies would not have held together were it nor for Daschle.

10. The Rose Garden Ceremony
was the most tragic occurance in American History in the last 30 years.

Gephardt and Lieberman should hang their heads in shame. Their political careers are over - Perhaps they should just move over to the other side of the aisle.

Bastards. Liars. Traitors. Cowards.

18. I remember it well!
Resolution sharply divides Democrats

The Senate vote sharply divided Democrats, with 29 voting for the measure and 21 against. All Republicans except Sen. Lincoln Chafee of Rhode Island voted for passage.

Ahead of the vote, Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle announced Thursday morning he would support Bush on Iraq, saying it is important for the country "to speak with one voice at this critical moment."

Daschle, D-South Dakota, said the threat of Iraq's weapons programs "may not be imminent. But it is real. It is growing. And it cannot be ignored." However, he urged Bush to move "in a way that avoids making a dangerous situation even worse."

Daschle had expressed reservations about a possible U.S. attack on Iraq, and he was not part of an agreement between the White House and other congressional leaders framing the resolution last week.

Sen. Robert Byrd, D-West Virginia, attempted Thursday to mount a filibuster against the resolution but was cut off on a 75 to 25 vote.

Byrd had argued the resolution amounted to a "blank check" for the White House!

"This is the Tonkin Gulf resolution all over again," Byrd said. "Let us stop, look and listen. Let us not give this president or any president unchecked power. Remember the Constitution."

(((((But Sen. John McCain, R-Arizona, said the United States needs to move before Saddam can develop a more advanced arsenal.)))))

The Point is, THEY WERE MIS-LED and lied to all along! Bush trys to keep up a constant stampede in congress at All times!

21. Bush used the Iraq -Niger letter last october
The dems were fed a pack of lies and can't be faulted for approving the war. It's all bush's fault, period.

22. I look at it this way
If I, a middle aged, crip, living below the poverty level, was able to access pretty much the same information that the invasion voting Dems had, and I knew it was bogus, then they are too stupid to hold office.

IMHO, they can be faulted.

Too stupid, or too incompetent or, more likely, too politically motivated.

25. Hi there Mountain Man,
Hope the floods stay away from yo area.

Watch for them Pubs smearing our Dems for voting for the War after listening to the "evidence" which of course was all bull shits as we knew it would be.

The Pubs are angry their faces full of Crow that they are lashing out blindly in all directions. Those CLAP guys are now blaming anyone in sight but never their own man who fooled the country into this "war".

Destroyers and not builders, the Bush Co. have neglected the peace making part of it and now Iraq is turning on the Bushies policy with utter disgust. But, its OUR boys who feel the pain not Bushies. Its the American troops who get killed/wounded for the Bushes Adventures into global takeovers. Where O where did America go wrong?

26. Bush only ever did one smart thing in his entire life, that I can see!
Chimppyboy had a rich Daddy! Everything else from day one has been a steady Clusterflop! Bushwaaaha still blames everyone else for his own stupidity like a little 6 year old brat would! Bush has never done an honest day's work in his life! Everything was handed to him on a silver platter his entire sorry life!

I'd like to see Monkeyboy on the rockpile making those faux speeches to his cell mate 'ole Bubba the chimp ***ker'! The Devil has a dunce corner in hell just for him and Pat IMHO! I hope the Devil puts Bush to counting dimpled votes for Al Gore for eternity with a forked blowtorch burning him on his ass 24/7! I'll bet the devil hates babykillers like Bushwhackco worse than false prophets like Pat and Jerry!

Come we go watch the fireworks!

27. Ayupyupyup.
We've gone from yellow dog Democrats to yellow brick Democrats: people seriously in need of either a brain, a heart, or some nerve.

28. If the Yellow Dogs don't run with this bone we can all say!
This dog is too stupid to hunt! They can't let Bushco bamboozle them again can they? The Corporatist Dems are walking a fine line and they have got to keep the big money lobbyists happy too! I'm leaning toward the Democrat out of the 9, who is against the World bank and globalization at the American production worker's expense!
