Some curious facts. Did you know that three of the top six conservative Republicans in the House voted against the resolution to grant the President constitutional authority to launch an unprovoked invasion of Iraq?

I don't see how this is curious. While giving Bush such authority is a Republican position, I fail to see how granting the Executive such authority is necessarily a conservative position.

I thought that was implied in my statement. I was trying to wake-up supporters of an unprovoked invasion of Iraq into realizing that they are not supporting the conservative position.

Nicely said. It's proof that Congress has rendered itself a collection of eunuchs, incapabale of taking responsibility for its actions.

In point of fact, I do not believe Congress has the authority to "grant the President Consitutional authority". All they did was refuse to declare war, while letting the President do whatever he wants.

You took the words right out of my mouth.

The only thing I would add is, its not curious at all if you think about it.

The Republican party has become more Democrat lite and not conservative. Bush has continued Clinton's policies - bombing without war declaration, outsourcing jobs and factories, an out-of-control Attorney General, ignoring illegal immigration, growing government, military still in countries. Most different feature - tax cuts for rich investors and the dead. Bush thinks we should believe that wars for the New World Order are conservative. No way, Jose.
