Once again, Democrats too weak-kneed to take a stand and tell the American people where they stand. It was such flip-flopping that forced them to run conservatives as Democrats in the November election and it will cost them 2008 election if they don’….

Yes. Democrats and liberals are traitors and cowards. They don’t have the gumballs to put their (actually OUR) money where their mouths are.

Regardless of what Reid tried to accomplish by his vote and no matter what DICK the Turbin Durbin says, The Democrats are proven to be luzers and yellow.

Luzers ’cause they couldn’t do what they said they’d do.

Yellow because the are STILL the party of cut and run — but they are TOO COWARDLY to put it to a vote.

This was a defeat for them and the DUers and KoSICKS know it, too. That’s why they are whining.

Yes, Reid voted against cloture so that he could bring it back to floor at a future date, yet the fact that he voted against it remains relevant. That move makes the rest of the ‘Progressives [insurance] look pretty damn bad. I can live with that.

It is about time that the Senate ‘Republicans’ showed America that they have a backbone. Like Bush, their timing is a matter of too little too late as the elections are over.

Entelechy [February 5, 2007 at 10:47 PM] is spot on.

Best of today was Mr. Lieberman in his turn. I can’t find the quote but heard it on the radio. He was very passionate and gave his party, or the dems a good lashing “in all the wars something like this never was voted on…”

This gives the libs a huge pass. The only honest thing for the repubs to do is to force the libs to vote against funding (not the surge, but the actual funding).

None have cojones big enough.

The NYT acts as if someone died, or as if it’s impertinent of the minority to be a strong opposition, forgetting how the left reacted all those years…

“I hope they keep in mind that this is fundamentally a vote of no confidence in the people that we are sending on this mission in harm’s way. We are telling them, ‘we support you but we believe your mission will fail. We don’t believe what you’re doing,’ ” McCain said.

Can we wipe this nuance from our backsides?

“A vote of no confidence” = Embolding our enemies, filling the recruiting ranks, strapping on more homicide bombs, giving the enemy more propoganda to use for years and years, and since the majority of Middle Eastern countries have state owned/controlled media, school, propoganda……. more bodies to aim at.

While the Senators sit, reveling in their own bodily juices, thinking of the Daemons that keep them up at night and what more of their souls they have to sell to stay in power………. real people are landing in a battle field.

They are responsible for every death if they don’t get behind their fellow citizens who are in harms way.

Win the war, then bitch about it. GOOD GOD… does it never end?

Congress has no power to control the military.

And this shows why too.

Update: I don’t get it. Why on earth did Harry Reid vote no?

Proceedural rules. Reid has to vote against it to allow him to re introduce it.

It was and always would have been a toothless resolution. Congress has no power to control the military.

And I rejoined, “But honey, if Frist had gone nuclear and stopped Dem obstructionism in the Senate, we would have gotten things done and we wouldn’t have lost so many races in November and we wouldn’t have been stuck in the minority.” Around and around it goes.
This must be the GOP’s time to wander in the wilderness, but hopefully not for 40 years! before we are worthy to see the Promised Land.

I, too, was fascinated by Reid’s “no” vote and also by the fact that McCain was MIA, if you will, for the vote…Significance?

Good job, Sen. McConnell ,regardless and let’s see a lot more use of these new GOP Malkins and spines, please!

God help our military.

And Harry Reid is a little sore about it. WASHINGTON (AP) – Republicans blocked a full-fledged Senate debate over Iraq on Monday, but Democrats vowed they still would find a way to force President Bush to change course in a……

And the Democrats attempts at stifling debate has been defeated by a vote of 49 to 47.  Of course the AP and the rest of the MSM are mischaracterizing it: Republicans Block Senate Debate on Iraq Republicans blocked a full-fledged……

Why won’t these Senators stand by the Iraqi people? Is it because Iraqis are brown?

Has no bearing on standing by Iraqis or even backing our troops. It is all about hating the president. If you think that is not the truth, please name one thing the democrats have acknowledged the president has done right. No one is right or wrong all the time.

Am I correct on this?

So now the Democrats are a majority in Congress and they can’t even get a non-binding resolution passed. If they……

Why won’t these Senators stand by the Iraqi people? Is it because Iraqis are brown?

That’s a bullet dodged.

Yes, but by who?
