Iraq invasion being a rather big one, that got a bunch of people killed. And his "frequent" admission was once and he's actually backed waaaay off of it since. I have no doubt that the essence of the story is true, they hinted (I doubt they'd be so tacky to say it outright) that if he dropped out they'd take care of him. That sort of stuff happens all the time in party politics. It's one of the dichotomies of the system; candidates have to be loyal to both their constituents and party and sometimes that creates conflicts. My point is twofold; all parties do it and they do it in such a way it can never really be proven. I'm pretty sure you'd understand if it were the GOP's turn to get busted for it.

It's called politics and your kind only seem to notice the more rank aspects when it's someone you didn't vote for that's doing it.
