blzrul Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 I believe this came from an (surprise) anti-Bush website called AWOLBush.com However you can look these people up yourself here. This one has some jabs at Bush and Quayle but there are Democrats in the list too. The preponderance of Republicans may just mean that more people submit GOP names than vice-versa, I don't think that you could conclude that most chickenhawks are Republican just by these lists. Here's a list of the 106th Congress and their service link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmac17 Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 Blzrul makes a good point, it's probably what people submit. a quick glance shows 17 dem senators serving in some sort, 24 repubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
