51. The difference is...
that thanks to votes from HRC and John Edwards, George Bush has plunged us into an unwinable war that has been the defining moment of the last 10 years. This is a HUGE thing, it's not just another of 99% of votes that someone makes while in Congress. The IWR is a vote that has had huge, massive, globaly important ramifications.

To me, the IWR isn't an issue anymore. I've made up my mind on that so let's get back on the subject that we've been talking about.

It's totally fair to talk about someone's voting record, but I repeat, let's focus on the end goal here. Advancing our agenda. I honestly don't care if someone votes present, or then votes yes only to vote no. I want what is good for the issues that I care about. Did we get the pro-choice bill that we wanted? Yes. That is the result I want.
