You have not changed the fact that Kerry voted for the war. That is the fact. I know you love Kerry, but I see no reason to defend something he did. He did it...and you cannot change that fact. 21 Senate Democrats voted against the war... House Approves War Powers Posted by Tai on October 10, 2002 @ 1:59PM The House of Representatives has given Bush the green light to attack Iraq. The Senate is expected to vote late Thursday or early Friday, and is also expected to approve the resolution despite a last-ditch effort by some Dems. Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio), one of 126 House Democrats who voted against the resolution, expressed profound dismay after the vote: "It is fear which leads us to war. It is fear which leads us to believe that we must kill or be killed. Fear which leads us to attack those who have not attacked us. Fear which leads us to ring our nation in the very heavens with weapons of mass destruction." The measure passed the Senate and House by wider margins than the 1991 resolution that empowered the current president's father to go to war to expel Iraq from Kuwait. That measure passed 250-183 in the House and 52-47 in the Senate. The Senate vote sharply divided Democrats, with 29 voting for the measure and 21 against. All Republicans except Sen. Lincoln Chafee of Rhode Island voted for passage. But Rep. Dennis Kucinich, D-Ohio, said the 133 votes against the measure were "a very strong message" to the administration. "All across this land Americans are insisting on a peaceful resolution of matters in Iraq," he said. "All across this land, Americans are looking towards the United States to be a nation among nations, working through the United Nations to help resolve this crisis."
