78. Who said the Dems lied?
Please provide a link that proves that "We forget that DU opinions and public perception are vastly different."

I did not find that to be true in my small town, or many other cities in my state. Many of the people I protested w/din't own a computer and had never heard of DU.

The average Dem trusted *? lol! Where did you get that from? Online polls?

Besides, this thread is about the Dems that voted for the war rag, not the "average" Dem. It is their job to listen to their constintuents and represent them. I am proud to say that my Representative, Pete DeFazio and my Dem Senator, Ron Wyden listened to Oregonians and voted against the war rag. DeFazio was up for re-election, yet he listened. Not only did he listen, but he sent emails and snail mail letters explaining why he voted no.

I call that integrity and standing up for what you think is right. It's too bad other Dems are too afraid to do the same.

One question, Dr Fate, did you watch and of the Senate and/or House sessions prior to the war rag vote?
