[QUOTE]Originally posted by First of Two: [QB] Actual quote: [QUOTE]"The House responded, but the Senate is more interested in special interests in Washington and not interested in the security of the American people. I will not accept a Department of Homeland Security that does not allow this president and future presidents to better keep the American people secure. [b]And people are working hard to get it right in Washington, both Republicans and Democrats. See, this isn't a partisan issue. [/b]This is an American issue. This is an issue which is vital to our future. It'll help us determine how secure we'll be." [/QUOTE](emphasis mine) If he wanted to be accurate, he should have said "There are those in the Senate who are" rather than "the Senate is," because fully a third of Senate Democrats are expected to vote for the Bush resolutions, and another third are undecided but likely to jump on so as not to damage their chances at re-election. But this is a war, and despite what Sen. Daschle says, wars are always politicized. People get re-elected for staying out of war (Wilson), they get re-elected for being in DURING a war (Roosevelt), and they get elected for being IN a War, playing on their record (Taylor, Grant, T. Roosevelt, etc.) Who caught most of the heat for Vietnam, after all, the guy who got us in, or the guy who brought us out? [/QB][/QUOTE]
