Kerry voted for the Iraq War, and didn't he vote for the Patriot Act as well? Why isn't he taking the same heat for those votes?

And as far as Dean and Clark go, it is FAR easier to say, in hindsight, that you wouldn't have voted for the Iraq War or Patriot Act than it would be to actually face the political fallout from doing so. The fact of the matter is that neither Clark or Dean were in a position where they had to compromise at all, and that is why they are both so free to say they would have voted against it.

And, BTW, Clark is full of shit when he says he wouldn't have. I nearly fell out of my chair when they showed his video during the debates last night and he made that claim. As I recall he actually praised the Bush Administration for having the guts to go to war and his only disagreement with the war early on was over how it was being fought.
