that might be true of rank and file democrats, but it sure isn't true (in fact it's laughable and the epitome of bullsh!t shoveling that they'd even say such a thing) of the elitist leadership.

A Democratic Senate approved the Iraq invasion in 2002.

They didn't write it or execute it, and it passed with tremendous national support from the sheeple. They were representing their constituents, which is from my point of view, no damn excuse at all, but a better one than the liar in chief who made a war from nothing, for nothing and acheived nothing.

Oh, we were polled by our senators?

Hmm, I must have missed that....

Did they poll you about supporting the Patriot Act, too? (with the exception of the now deceased Wellstone)

Hmm, I must have missed that:

[edit] February 2003 Following Powell's February 5 speech at the UN, most polls, like one conducted by CNN and NBC, showed increased support for the invasion. NBC's Washington bureau chief Tim Russert, said the bumps in support were "largely" due to president Bush's State of the Union speech in January and to Powell's presentation on February 5, which most viewers felt offered strong evidence for action against Iraq. Bush's approval ratings jumped 7 points, and support for the invasion jumped 4 points. Only 27 percent opposed military action, the smallest percentage since the polls began in April of 2002. The percentage of Americans supporting an invasion without UN support jumped eight points to 37%. 49% of those polled felt that President Bush had prepared the country for war and its potential risks, a 9 point jump from the previous month. [4] A Gallup poll showed the majority of the population erroneously believed Iraq was responsible for the attacks of September 11.

Anti-war demonstrations took place in more than 500 US cities, among them Cambridge (Massachusetts), Berkeley, New York, Washington, Boston, San Francisco, Hollywood, Pittsburgh, Chicago, Milwaukee, Portland, Athens (Ohio), Philadelphia, Harrisburg, Atlanta, Los Angeles, Oakland, Madison, Eugene, Detroit, and East Lansing. In several cases demonstrators were arrested. The protests reached their peak just before the Iraq War broke out.

[edit] March 2003 A Gallup poll taken after the beginning of the war showed a 62% support for the war, lower than the 79% in favor at the beginning of the Persian Gulf War.

[edit] April 2003 A poll made by Washington Post and ABC News found that 72% of Americans supported the Iraq War, even without finding any chemical or biological weapons.

A poll made by CBS found that 60% of Americans said the Iraq War was worth the blood and cost even if no WMD are ever found.

[edit] May 2003 A Gallup poll made on behalf of CNN and the newspaper USA Today concluded that 79% of Americans thought the Iraq War was justified, with or without conclusive evidence of illegal weapons. 19% thought weapons were needed to justify the war. [1]

Your senator can probably read.
