Reply #21: It's been successfully 'framed'

I think that the ones who 'voted for the war' think it's too difficult to try to reframe, especially considering Dems from Byrd to Kennedy to Feingold proudly say they didn't 'vote for the war'. When about 80% of Congress are calling it a 'vote for war', I don't see how a small handful can go against that. Kerry repeatedly tried to explain the vote in 2004 and that was part of what was labeled as wishy-washy and flip flopper. As you've possibly seen with the so-called botched joke, once any part of the Dem Party sides with the Republicans - game over. I think letting Bush call that a vote for war was one of the biggest mistakes made in the last 3 years, but I also don't think it can be undone.
