I am sure many of you get flak from RWnuts regarding the Democratic Party's vote on HJ RES 114 (To Authorize the Use of United States Armed Forces Against Iraq).
They harp on and on about how the Dems voted "for the war".
Here is how I rebutt that bullshit.
Feel free to copy and post around.
----------------
They get confused as to what HJ RES 114 was.
They also conveniently ignore the impassioned warnings many Dems gave, that voted for it. Warnings
NOT to rush to war.
A fact they do not know (because they are caught up in their RW talking points) is that the total Congressional Dems (House and Senate),
that voted against the Resolution, outnumbered the Dems who voted for it.
Here is a dose of reality that the 'librul media' never showed us:
