No. You still don't get it. It's not that the vote doesn't matter, it's that it doesn't mean what you think it means.

You seem to not understand that a united government on foreign policy issues sends an important signal to our enemies. Now I understand there are at times real difference on foreign policy issues, and those should be vetted. But this was not one of them.
Whether to cut taxes on the rich to pay for the Iraq war was not a question as to which there were real differences? Try again. And which enemies give a rat's ass how we paid for the war? You truly are making no sense.

Here is the link to the add I posted days ago:
I can't make it work, so maybe you can explain to me where you think I went wrong, bearing in mind that Kerry did not win the Iowa primary by veering to the left on the war. The ad presumably shares your faulty premise that Kerry's vote on the $87 billion in some way suggested that he did not want to appropriate money to pay for the war, but maybe you have something else up your sleeve.
