... nobody voted "for the war", they voted to give Dimson the authority to use force <paraphrase>if the inspection process failed in dealing with Iraq's supposed WMD's.
I am going to repeat the above post because it should be repeated.
Voting for a resolution to give the office of the Presidency authority to respond to a threat is not the same as voting for war. Bush misused the authority, but the office of the President should be worthy of such authority.
Yes: if they've decided that they "like" a war supporter, they can buy in to the political doublespeak that their candidate uses to excuse the vote to excuse their choice and ease their conscience.
