The problem, people, has been George Bush (and Dick Cheney).

[brentspeak]

The problem for the past seven years has always been George Bush and Dick Cheney. It hasn't been Dick Durbin, or Nancy Pelosi, or John Edwards, or Fu Manchu, or Donald Duck.

Even if every Republican in Congress had been opposed to the Iraq War, it wouldn't have mattered a bit in the end: Bush was going to invade Iraq, no matter what. Rick Santorum could have gone on a hunger strike, naked, outside the White House, to protest against any upcoming invasion, and still Bush would have launched the invasion. Tom DeLay could have held a peace-in, marching hand-in-hand with Wavy Gravy and Jesse Jackson, and yet the war would have happened, regardless. (Not like those two miscreants didn't help foster the war -- they did, quite a bit -- but their support wasn't necessary, for all practical purposes.)

If I didn't know better, you'd think it was Dick Durbin or Nancy Pelosi themselves who signed the veto today, the way some people have made it sound. Sheesh.

3. they are the main problem

but I don't think they would have acted without most other elected Republicans and the M$M having their back (or being in their pocket.) If we'd had 25,000 at our anti-war rally instead of just 1,000. I refuse to believe that wouldn't have made a difference. And even after the war, if we'd had more people protesting his visit to Manhattan, Kansas than we had lining up to see the pipsh*t. If our own Democratic Governor would have taken a stand against him instead of being on stage saying what an honor it was to have our A$$hole in Chief come to lie to us in person. The Bush administration has had alot of enablers.
