Democratic leadership supported it
so what? ever read Will Rogers quote about his political affiliation? It's still true. "I' don't belong to an organized political party...I'm a democrat"
or Bob Dylan: "don't follow leaders, watch the parking meters."
When this war was going well, republicans made a big deal about how the majority of democrats had voted the wrong way and were on the wrong side of history....but once the war turned to shit, republicans stumble over each other trying to point out that there were democrats who did vote for it and they are, therefore, just as much to blame. It is a flip flop born out of sickly flop sweat realization that America has taken an accurate measure of you and your party, and they find you wanting. America has figured out that it's time to take the keys away....time for the GOP to go sit in the corner and let the other team run the show for a while. Most folks think that the democrats will do it better....nearly everyone agrees that it would be hard for us to do it much worse.
