IF YOU CAN'T GET it right the first time, you can always rewrite it would appear to be Move On's view. Reader Jeff Blankfort notes that Move On's "latest message to its email list perpetuates the dangerous illusion that there was an element larger than three or four people among the hundreds of Democratic Party legislators who opposed the war in Iraq from the beginning. Nancy Pelosi was not one of them. Meeting with a group of her constituents in San Francisco on the eve of the war, Pelosi said that while she had questions about it, should Bush make the decision to go to war she would support him and the war and so she did." Here is Tom Matzzie of Move On, writing about Pelosi:
"Pelosi has been a leader against the war in Iraq since it started--running the 'whip' operation in Congress that rounded up Democratic votes against the war in 2002. When she led congressional war opposition she was bucking her own leaders who were supporting Bush. It impressed enough of her Democratic colleagues that they elected her Leader."
