In reply to the discussion: I remember how sick and hurt, bitter and ashamed I felt in 2003 watching the invasion gather [View all]Martin Eden
(12,844 posts)I was bitter, I was ashamed for my country, and I felt utterly betrayed and abandoned by every Democrat (slightly fewer than half) who voted to give the green light to GW Bush to commit this war crime. Four days before the bombs fell I has traveled from my home in the Chicago suburbs to Washington DC to join 100,000 others to protest the imminent attack.
I was especially appalled when Democratic leaders like John Kerry, Hillary Clinton, and Joe Biden failed to provide the kind of strong, principled leadership our country so desperately needed at that time. I cannot in good conscience support any of them in a Democratic primary. If they were fooled by the lies they are unqualified to be US Senator, let alone POTUS. But I don't think they were fooled, which makes their vote even more inexcusable.
