Biden-Iowa-1No false sentiment here.

My respects to Biden and Chris Dodd.

    wow.
    The relief is palpable.

    I don’t feel bad for Biden. He voted to authorize the war and enabled Bush to claim bi-partisan support. Maybe Biden claims it was an agonizing decision, but it shouldn’t have been. Millions of us marched in the streets to protest the war; why didn’t Biden listen?
    I have no sympathy for the other Democrats who got it wrong. There are consequences for gross transgressions like giving Bush the OK to wage war on Iraq. Frankly, I’ll never vote for any of these people – Hillary, Dodd, Biden, Edwards, Schumer … to hell with all of them.
