Our House and Senate "leadership" fails us yet again
It isn't so much that 40 Democratic House members voted for the RNC engineered I love Iraq bill today, and it isn't the fact that 153 voted against it. When it came time to vote, the Democratic members should have walked out and left the Pukes standing there with their resolution up their asses and abstained from voting or voting "present". This piece of shit legislation will haunt us till November.

Two Republicans and three Democrats declined to take a position by voting present

How hard would it have been for her to make them look foolish.

Out-maneuvered again by Rove and company. Resign Nancy Wannabe, get out and let some intelligent leader take over.

And the Senate resolution to pull our troops out by the end of the year goes down in flames 93-6, read that number again,

93-6

. Reid couldn't even rally the Senate Dem's to vote FOR the resolution.

I am tired of this bullshit. Take a real stand Nancy and Harry, grow real balls before the Repukes cut them off. Oh wait, they already did.


My hero. A man with balls. A real American hero. And to the Trolls who will try to discredit him, fuck you I say.



Rep. Gohmert: Let me close by saying some have not had nice things to say about our colleague Mr. Murtha, and others wanting to pull out of Iraq quickly. I understand the faithful visitation that he does routinely. So i say thank god for his big heart. I say thank god for his compassion. Thank god for his visits to the wounded. Thank god for his ministering to grieving families. But thank god he was not here and prevailed after the bloodbaths at Normandy and in the Pacific or we would be here speaking Japanese or German. Thank you.

Rep. Murtha: Was the gentleman at any of those locations? Either at normandy or any of those locations?

Rep. Gohmert: You want to know which locations?

Rep. Murtha: Yeah. Normandy?

Rep. Murtha: I say were you there?


Rep. Gohmert: No, sir. I wasn't.

Rep. Murtha: Were you in Vietnam?

Rep. Gohmert: No, sir.

Rep. Murtha: Iraq?

Rep. Gohmert: No. I have been over there. I haven't been fighting.

Rep. Murtha: Boots on the ground?

Rep. Gohmert: I do admire the gentleman's compassion and all he has done for our wounded. He has done a great service that would be you, Mr. Murtha.

Fucking chickenhawks. And this exchange hasn't been shown on the MSM anywhere.

2. Not happy at all.... to many Corporatists
and not enough peoples representatives.

They voted yes for the $$$ generated for their states by the Military Industrial Complex aka
the parasite that feeds of hundreds of Billions of Americans Tax dollars a year.
Iraq is beside the point to these people they want the Money to flow.

War is about Money Power Resources Greed & Control and sadly that's what to many of these people are about.

3. Will no one stand for them, thos who have died for the sins of our leaders
http://projects.washingtonpost.com/fallen/

Total Fatalities
Operation Iraqi Freedom: 2,416
Operation Enduring Freedom: 292


And it seems so many (the vast Progressive majority here) have no comment, and accept the fate dished out to them by the oatmeal twins.
