Kerry, Gephardt, Lieberman and Edwards voted for a war with Iraq. Like Bush,
they are responsible for the War without End. I believe the only reason people have
called Dean a liberal is because Dean voted AGAINST THE WAR that may go
on for years. Also, Wesley Clark, the guy in a fog--the one who changes
his opinion every other day--said at one time
he would have voted for the Iraq war as well.
