It had well over a super majority in both houses, that is substantial bipartisan support. I'll add that super majority doesn't mean much in terms of "bi partisan support", when a single party (the republicans) nearly had a super majority of the house alone. Even in the senate, the Republicans pretty much all voted the same way while the Democrats split. It's almost as if there was some sub group of politicians for whom this issue was not popular and split from the mainstream, off to one side (plus the regular Americans who did not support the war). If the definition of “left” isn’t “mainstream left wing politics” "Left" or "left wing" is by definition not "mainstream". and is instead “a small collection of politicians chosen by dfxm12”, then the word may as well not have a meaning. Do please try to post in good faith. |

In 2002 the republicans has a 14 seat majority in the house, and no majority in the senate with only 49 seats. The history re-writing going on here is pretty extreme.
