But, Ty, Kerry (nor anyone in Congress), tied the authorization to that very question.

How can anyone who voted for the war say otherwise? because it was politics? like voting against the $87 billion after voting for the $87 billion?

Kerry got to vote on the authorization that he got to vote on. Not to shock you or anything, but he's not actually part of the GOP leadership in the Senate. Congress could have done a lot of things. Kerry voted on one specific alternative.
And if your point is that Congress was misled about WMD, I assume that leaves inclined to vote out the people who presided over the executive branch at the time.
