"I finally decided that maybe I didn't have all the facts as our President Bush knew them." You would be talking about the facts that caused over 90 US Senators to vote for the authorization to use force. That's right. What are you suggesting about the 90 senators? If you think they convinced me, that's not true at all. In fact, I didn't really think Bush had any facts that were compelling enough to invade another country without provocation. I gave him the benefit of the doubt because I had no choice.....there were 90 senators that were either too stupid to know better or were ramrodded into voting for the the invasion. Did I mention it was a dark day for this country? It turns out that some of the intelligence was not fully correct. But that is always the case; nobody ever fully understands anyone but themselves. Do you mean the intel that said there were WMDs when there were none? Did you ever read the memos from the CIA that stated very clearly that the intel on Iraq was not very good and that we should let the weapon inspectors flesh things out before doing anything? "there are people in your own party who want him out of office as badly as I do." It is the party of inclusion. Democrats drum out anyone that does not toe the line on major policy issues. Even people who espouse democrat policies like Chaffee and McCain are allowed in the party. Democrats tried to evict "the conscience of the senate" Joe Liebermann for being honorable. Maybe so but weren't there GOP started rumors about McCain when he ran against Bush in the primary....in SC, that he was gay or had an extramarital affair? And isn't it true, that the party decided to support Chafee in RI only because they didn't think the conversative who ran against him in the primary could win in an open state wide election because he was too right?
