14. He was in favor of the Iraq war, strongly. Last night I watched the "Body of War"
interview of Phil Donahue by Bill Moyers. There are video clips in that movie showing the various senators and representatives making their case for or against the Iraq war.
Sen. Bill Nelson was shown with a quote something like "Every day that goes on Saddam is more and more...." while he was justifying his "Yes" vote on the war. Speaking in front of the Senate like that should have been something embarassing to him, but he obviously relished getting in line with all the right-wing Republicans.
The video clips show one senator after another quoting almost exactly the same rhetoric, but most of them were Republicans. An then there was our "Democratic" senator, Bill Nelson.
Enough to make one sick at the misuse of the label "Democrat".
