Why are the Dems so affraid to say it was a MISTAKE to vote "Yes"

[Roxy66]

I love that they are finally taking a stand, but the newsies are already saying it's an empty attack....because as recently as this weekend big name Dems wont say they made a mistake for voting "yes" before the war. Why wont they say they were lied to and wish they could take their votes back. I DONT GET IT!!!!

[joemurphy]

1. They don't want to appear they were complicit when they were.

[blm]

2. They are SPINNING. Media refuses to mention Kerry's Iraq speech and

Matthews even cut Dean off promptly when he made supporting statements about it last night. Media is sticking to the narrative that Dems are offering no plans on Iraq. It's BULLSHIT.

4. Yes,but Schumer said last weekend he doesnt regret his vote.. WHY?!!

[sandnsea]

8. Stop getting trapped in the goddamned vote

Stick to Bush's lies and refusal to commit to no bases in Iraq and a turnover timeframe. Don't fight in their ring.

[Roxy66]

16. But, they were LIED to....SAY IT and FIGHT BACK!!!!!

[sandnsea]

18. They are FIGHTING BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just because they aren't doing it exactly the way you think they should doesn't mean they aren't doing it. HELP or get the fuck out of the way.

[blm]

9. That's Schumer. Media passes over entire Iraq speech and withdrawal plan

from Kerry and mutes any Dem who speaks in support of Kerry's plan.

This general use of the word Dems just feeds the RW media machine lies when they should be held accountable.

3. I'm with you -- especially as more info comes out about how it was lies

It's forgivable to have been conned into voting yes -- they didn't have VERIFIED intel, and they were duped. They should ALL come out and say that (put the blame on ShrubCo).

[No Exit]

5. Instead, ask "Why are Bush/repukes so afraid to say they LIED??"

[sandnsea]

6. Many have, Tweety diverts

Just like he pretends not to know the difference between resolving the war in a timely manner and staying forever like Bush wants to do.

[Roxy66]

7. I want to know what they are so affraid of!!!!

10. "That's pride fucking with you..."

"Fuck pride. Pride only hurts, it never helps."

11. kerry did and got his ass ripped up on this board

we dems say that is what we want and then we get it and say, see told you you were a pig, useless, and worse. so right now everyone can come up with all kinds of gutless and pride they want., but there might need to be some reflecting done

[Roxy66]

12. They are talking about it now on CNN

[porphyrian]

13. By comparison, I'd say Democrats are far less afraid than republicans...

...to admit when they are wrong. I agree that more Dems should just apologize, but I'm too busy getting excited that they've gotten off their fucking asses and have done something to care too much about this now.

[MellowOne]

14. Didn't Kerry say he made a mistake?

I believe I read that in a speech.

[Roxy66]

19. Yes, but what about Hillary, Schumer, Biden....etc ?

[underpants]

15. ---- FLIP ------- FLOP

they are scared to death of that. For reasons I don't understand.

[ComerPerro]

17. "Flip Flop" is a powerful word

And Republicans throw it around shamelessly and recklessly.
