Reply #57: It didn't take any super-secret knowledge to be against the IWR. Hell, *I* knew that the rationales [View All]

were BS. I vivid remember screaming at the tv during Bush's 2003 SOTU speech, when he went on about the Uranium tubes- "that is known to be a fabrication!". If I, and millions of other Americans, had access to that kind of super-secret knowledge (from reading highly classified publications like Vanity Fair) then surely our congress had enough knowledge to make a fully informed decision, too.

And they did.

No, it didn't take knowledge to vote against the IWR, it took some other things that Senatorial honor roll you posted above possessed: Things like integrity, honesty, decency and courage.

And I think if anyone is considering putting a Senator on the 2008 Democratic Ticket, if they were in the Senate in Oct. 2002 and they're not on that list, they shouldn't be on the ticket. Period.
