Did they have 60 Senators? Yes or NO. You claim when it comes to the Dem Senate in 2009, 2010 and 2011 that if they don't have 60 senators they are not in complete control. YOUR words.

If the dems had opposed the war all they had to do was filibuster the bill. As I recall there were only 51 Republicans. Or maybe 56.

Jesus TDM your an idiot.

[RetiredGySgt]

As I thought, 51 Republicans to 48 Democrats and one independent that voted with the democrats.

Republican Democratic Independent Independence (MN) Vacant
End of previous Congress 50 48 1 1 100 0
Begin 51 48 1 0 100 0
Final voting share 51% 49%

all it took was for 41 democrats to filibuster.

Everyone knows you need 57 states to have 60 senators... geesh...

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

your party started the wars.

PERIOD

Another BLATANT lie. The Democrats voted for BOTH wars and continued to vote to pay for them every year after, INCLUDING the 4 years they controlled both Houses and the 2 years they controlled all of Government.

That's naive to say the least.

The President has better and greater access to intelligence, then the congress at large.

 

[RetiredGySgt]

The vote to authorize force ( war) in Iraq was passed on 16 October 2002 in 107th Congress. At the time of the vote in the Senate there were 50 Democrats, 1 Independent and 49 Republicans.

The republicans did NOT control the Senate when the vote for War was presented or voted on.

When the vote for War in Iraq was made there were 49 Democrats, 1 Independent that voted Democrat and 48 Republicans and 1 independent that voted with neither side. Officially the Senate was run BY THE DEMOCRATS. And they had the Majority. The vote was taken on October 16 2002 before Wellstone died.

Not only does that prove the Republicans were not in complete control at the time, it proves that the Democrats brought up for vote the war authorizing legislation and voted for it in enough numbers that a filibuster was not possible.

Until November 2002 the democrats ran the Senate. The vote was on October 16th. BEFORE Wellstone died and after the recess control changed hands. It is in the link.

I provided the link on October 16 2002 when the vote was taken for war the Democrats ran the Senate. 49 democrats, 1 Independent that voted Democrat, 48 Republicans and one independent that voted neither party.

2 BIRDS with one stone. Proof that the republicans did not completely control Congress and proof that when the vote was taken the Democrats ran the Senate.

Look you brain dead hack it is in the link. Your own cut and paste says Democrat AND Republican control of the Senate. On October 16 2002 the Senate was run BY the Democrats. That did not change until after a recess sometime in November AFTER Wellstone died and the Republicans took over.
