LOL! You know bad enough you were citing Kristol to buttress your opinion(s), now you are citing John I voted for the war before I voted against it Kerry?.
Kerry is living in an alternate reality. We won. The Frist Warner proposal changes nothing in how the war is being conducted now or will be during the rest of the Bush's second term.
The Levin proposal lost 40 - 58 which means as many as 5 Democrats voted against or missed the roll call. Big time win for Reps. Enjoy it.
I'm not relying on Kerry, I'm noting the fact that the GOP resolution gave fodder to the opposition which they are very predictably exploiting. Other than yourself, I don't note anyone on this thread supporting the GOP resolution.
Please have a look at the list of names of good conservative GOP senators that appears on this thread who voted against the resolution, and tell me whether you prefer to identify with them, or with the Snows, Collins and Specters of the world who supported it.
