49. The key word here is intelligent
I see it to be plain and simple. One of three things occured.

1. Kerry truely "believe" Bush would "do the right things" (even know millions of average Joe's protesting in the streets were smart enough to correctly predict what was to come) and blindly voted for the IRW.

or

2. He did it out of nothing but motivation to advance his political career. (which did not help it in the least)

or

3. He was just as gung ho as the right to storm into a country and start blowing things up to make a buck.

Now.. let's look at those choices.

If you say "The President broke his promise to do this the right way so I can't be held responsible". That is a really blind faith he put into someone who by the time the IRW was up for vote had proven time and time again he couldn't be trusted is just plain stupidity. This country, along with the rest of the world KNEW exactly what was going to happen once that passed. For Kerry to try and convince people that he had no idea when he voted "yes" things would go the way they did is a huge insult to me, and if he has no more sense than that, well..... I would like to think a US senator has at least as much common sense as the average person. If not, well looks like we need a new senator with a little common sense.

And the last 2 choices, well they speak for them selves. So- to me, looks like quite a corner to be backed into with no clear way out.
