It was about Iraq. The above supported it, the conservative democrats were against it, plain and simple. Other than JoeMentum, who got the Republican votes, thats how it went down. The Iraq war is largely unpopular. I dont like it, I'm tired of it, I dont support a cut and run policy of course, but those who aren't as principled as I am (the 20% mushy middle/ aka "Swing" voters), voted for a change, but one that was fairly conservative. Look at all the states that banned Gay Marriage? That was a liberal debacle.
Quick question...what's wrong with supporting the liberation of the people in Iraq?
Why is that something we should hang our head in shame about?
I'm curious as to your answer on this.
