I think he voted for the war because thats what the people of his state wanted at the time. I think he has always been anti war. He voted not to fund the war because the tide of opinion started to sway and he felt safer voting the way he feels. Personally I think any politican should vote for what a majority of his/her state wants. Same goes the president. They are voted on to represent the people so why not vote the way the majrority wants him to. Is it better to vote solely on personal beliefs even though a majority may be against it? I may disagree with the majorirty on some issues but I don't blame politicians voting with the majorority. He is catholic and doesn't favor abortion. But a slight majority do and a great majority in his party does. So he goes against his personal beliefs to give the majority what they want. Thats what he was voted in to do.
Well thats how I see it all. If people call it flip flopping and dislike him because he doesn't soley vote on his beliefs then thats fine don't vote for him.
