Reply #7: Di Fi betrayed her constituents big time with her IWR vote.... [View All]

Calls and letters to her office were something like 95 percent opposed. Even her staffers seemed stunned after her vote. She'll never demand withdrawal from Iraq-- her husband profits from military contracts, and she bears the same IWR stigma that John Kerry bore. Given her position on the Senate Intelligence Committee, she either KNEW the pre-war justifications were lies and voted to approve anyway or she has participated in the post-war whitewash to cover dubya's ass (and her own, in the bargain). Personally, I think she knew, but thought it would be a quick little war generating a national patriotic love fest that all the pols who approved would benefit from.
