Iraq War 1 = voted NO
Iraq War 2 = voted NO

Were you around on DU during the lead up to Iraq War 2? Contributors to the list were tearing through the propaganda and knew their geography. Afghanistan was not Iraq. Heard the Rumsfeld comment about not wanting to fight in Afghanistan - the topography wasn't right for 'our' equipment. We saw the direction and figured it out. If we could do it - why couldn't insiders do it. We were watching and writing furiously during the lead up to their vote. We heard their statements and were outraged and they delivered death, invasion, plundering, and pillage and eventually, torture and loss of rights. I stand for no leader who voted yes. My privilege.

A group of those Dem leaders got together and decided to vote with it. We were outraged? Biden was a decision maker along with Schumer and Clinton and some others - all in cahoots with the DLC, probably - or I might phrase it - a get together of DLC hard nose Wash supposedly leaders.

I watch Biden plenty on corporate tv. DLC all the way. I've been impressed is some hearings. That's all I can say.

He is NOT a people's leader, imo.

Is 'lower class' an insult? I didn't quite get it.
