Who Was Wrong: Senate Vote on Iraq War

Republicans constantly remind Democrats that the Senate voted to approve HR 114, which authorized the war on Iraq. This will continue thru the current election year. So far, it's all true.

But there is a difference. The vote was:

• 77 affirmative votes: 48 Republican senators, 29 Democrats
• 23 negative votes: 1 Republican, 1 independent, 21 Democrats

By my accounting:

• Republicans got it 98% wrong...almost a perfect score.
• Democrats were only 58% wrong.
