The vote is over the HUNTER resolution being brought to the floor

No Murtha resolution was even considered. They try to confuse you - don't allow it. It's not a vote on withdrawal from Iraq - but on voting the GOP resolution.

1. It's important to not buy their frame

The GOP resolution is an insult and should not be brought to vote (much as I want the war ended)

2. Yep, they keep trying to call it the Murtha res

He never proposed a resolution. He made a statement.

The repubs are playing games, and this is about war, this is just sick :(

7. They're trying to put words in his mouth...and they picked the WRONG...

guy to do that to. Trust me on this, Murtha takes shit from no one. Most of the time I disagree with him, but I'll give him guts and consistency. This will get good...

4. And it's the right thing. MSM will however dub it "the Murtha resolution"

and say Dems were against withdrawal - and supporting W.

10. They aren't voting on the resolution yet

Edited on Fri Nov-18-05 06:05 PM by meganmonkey

they are voting on a rule change, although it looks like the rule change will happen so a vote on the resolution will probably happen next :popcorn:

on edit: I know you know that, I am just trying to clarify because I know a lot of people are confused :)

5. Good Point

We will have a lot of work to do reminding everybody this is the Hunter amendment and not the Murtha Amendment. The MSM will be repeating "Murtha Amendment."

I also remember seeing Murtha correct Norah O'Donell during an interview saying it was a "redeployment plan" not a withdrawal. After the interview, she turned around and called it a withdrawal plan! As if he had never spoken at all!

8. And the vote is NOT on the resolution, but on the procedure (whether

it will be brought to a vote)

9. This is a complete sham. It means Nothing. Showboating.

Murtha was on Hardball earlier and he's pissed. Watch the re-run.
