2006: Remember when Senator Kerry's resolution got 6 votes!

Back in June 2006, it was put up or shut up in the US Senate.

Sen. Kerry put a resolution to a vote and 6 Democrats were willing to go on record calling for a withdrawal from Iraq by the end of 2006:


Barbara Boxer of California
Robert Byrd of West Virginia
Russ Feingold of Wisconsin
Tom Harkin of Iowa
Edward Kennedy of Massachusetts
John Kerry of Massachusetts

What happened to the other 45 Democrats?  Once again, we saw a party that talked a lot but refused to go on record about calling for a withdrawal.
