You think people carrying signs is the same thing as a bunch of pols saying, "We will block everything this guy wants to do" and following thru on it? Really? Come back when you can show me a Dem wing conspiracy that resembles this. Try looking at the night after Lincoln was sworn in; it might be there. Did Reid ever say his number one goal was to make Bush a one term president? Did he whip the Dems to oppose Iraq, fer instance? (He voted for war). Did he maybe whip them against Medicare D? (He voted yes). You think the Dems were told by leadership to vote against Bush tax cuts? How Senators Voted for Bush’s 2001 Tax Cuts Democrat Yeas Baucus (MT) Breaux (LA) Carnahan (MO) Cleland (GA) Feinstein (CA) Johnson (SD) Kohl (WI) Landrieu(LA) Lincoln (AR) Miller (GA) Nelson (NE) Torricelli (NJ) press.take88.com Were they told to oppose Iraq? Following is an alphabetical listing by state of how each senator voted on President Bush's Iraq resolution. A "yes" vote was a vote to grant President Bush the power to attack Iraq unilaterally. A "no" vote was a vote to defeat the measure. Voting "yes" were 29 Democrats and 48 Republicans. Voting "no" were 1 Republican, 21 Democrats, and 1 Independent. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/onpolitics/transcripts/senaterollcall_iraq101002.htm
