7. But, but, but.....
one of my senators voted against the invasion (Patty Murray) shouldn't that get her a little juice? In fact, that should be part of the report card, don't you think? :shrug:

10. If you can still edit, add Nelson (NE) to the list of Dems voting YES on..
Edited on Thu Feb-03-05 09:40 PM by Peace Patriot
...Gonzales. (TWO Nelsons voted yes - FLA and Nebraska).

Also these Dems FAILED TO SHOW UP TO VOTE on Gonzales

Baucus
Conrad
Inouye

I agree that the Iraq resolution vote should be added to the scorecard, or at least noted. I know a lot of water under the bridge since then, but I promised never to forget that vote. I'll go hunting for it. I've got it here somewhere.

The House vote was 296 to 133. I remember that, too. (And I have the names.)

Only 1 Senator voted against the Vietnam War. I've forgotten who is was. Fulbright?

12. I personally resent seeing an impostor
like John Kerry listed as second best.

He's a bottom feeder at best. He was an accomplice to election fraud and voted for the Iraq War. He promised to REPORT FOR DUTY but ran like a rabbit 12 hours after the polls were closed on Nov 3, some of the votes were not even counted.

Kerry is a Bush enabler and a war criminal.
