Reply #79: As A Politically Savvy Senator, Seeing The Trap Had Been Set I Would Have [View All]

voted "YES" rather than have myself labeled and viewed as being "soft" on going after the Satan himself who was jerking off with Saddam.

Lookit... this war was going to happen no matter how Kerry or Edwards voted. It was in the works from week-one. The vote was a meaningless exercise and would have rendered anyone who voted NO impotent or as "traitors" or "soft" or would have threatened their electability.

PS: Thanks for quickly clarifying what you meant. I wonder how many people answered the poll based on their own gut instincts and distaste for war and Bush... and how many answered it as though they were senators making politically wise choices.
