The big diff is that Republicans such as Mr. Shays eagerly and actively promoted this war with blind indifference. The fact of the matter is that before the invasion, to quote a fellow resident, "Saddam can't take a pee without our F-16's flying over his head". Shays response to this comment was a blank stare. Yes, some of the aforementioned Dems tacitly approved out of fear. But let's not forget who really started this mess. Truth is we all own this debacle now.

It was none other than Shays who plugged hardest for this war of all U.S. congressmen. I witnessed him stand 4 hours straight in front of a packed crowd and C-Span audience to carry the President's bags. Let me just say that Chris did not listen at all to his constituents who were extremely unconvinced of the threats Iraq posed to our sacred shores. He was as condescending then as he is today. After a 3% victory and Ms. Johnson and Mr. Simmons defeated, you would think the senior statesman would just shut up. The man apparently can not learn a lesson even after so many have died and suffered due to his contribution. He basically killed a cat through it own your doorstep and told you it's your problem.
