They had this vote right before the 2002 mid-term elections, the dems would probably have
lost even more seats had they voted against the war. Especially since then it was not really
know that Bush was a proven liar, and the Brits still had credibility. We have to remember Tony
Blair was trusted, and he was making the same claims the BFEE were.

Look at Max Cleland, he lost both legs and an arm and the repukes called him a saddam supporter
for voting against the war. They even ran a tv ad with saddams picture and Clelands picture in it.

They hoped dems would vote against the war, because they planned to use it against them in their
re-election bids. It was a Karl Rove dirty trick plan, I think a lot of dems voted for the war to save
their jobs, and to keep the repukes from winning their seats.
