The dastardly aye on IWR in 2002 is a vote that will live in infamy.
IWR aye voters knew exactly what they were voting for and to claim to be misled is to be ironically enshrined in the "too stupid to be president" club. They failed America on conceptual and practical levels by hitching their wagons to W's tail pipe. All they got was the mind-numbing CO2 exhaust and they breathed it in liberally. To this day some of the presidential wannabes, won't admit how wrong they are. Those that don't have the necessary intestinal fortitude to admit it, don't deserve the votes of patriotic Americans who believe in Freedom, Justice and Liberty for All.
Those morally culpable for their IWR Aye votes, know intrinsically it was abjectly wrong. To defend it is lunacy because it is defending the actions of weak people making political calculations and not doing what was right on behalf of their constitutionally sworn oaths. Those Aye IWR voters should be speaking to We The People and shouting from the rooftops and mountaintops that Bush's outrageous and felonious lies have compromised America. They are OBLIGATED to consistently and continuously call for investigation and oversight into the conduct of the administration.
To state that IWR Aye voters were misled is being mealy mouthed and dishonoring again every single person who has been hurt by this War. They knew bush was declaring war - and when he went why was not one of them shouting that this was a misuse of the authorization and wholly unsanctioned by the Congress. They didn't because those IWR Aye voters are complicit in the death and destruction of the US Constitutional way of life. The IWR aye voters wanted to be president or support a future president, more than they wanted to do the right thing and be amongst the humble and noble in the pantheon of historical great leaders.
Go George Go - that is the hallmark of a leader - speaking up when it is unpopular and standing strongly in the in the face of overwhelming crticism. That's classy Courage!
