Judd Gregg is complaining that Reid will only allow a vote on one Republican amendment and that Reid will choose whick one it is. He calls the House bill ‘San Francisco sophistry’ and he says it is simply impossible to simultaneously support the troops and oppose their mission.
Go biden!!!!
Biden calls it a political solution but I think he means diplomatic but either way he is right!!!
Senator Byrd is getting very old but go Byrd!!!! I cannot believe they are still arguing if they will debate the resolution or not.
He must have a cold. He sounds like he’s about to drop dead. Don’t get me wrong, he is a legend in the Senate and I really appreciate his words but it is past time for him to retire.
I think Byrd will retire when he cannot make it to DC
Why?
Ted Stevens is an idiot. He is still trying to blame the Democrats for their losses.
He still doesn’t get it that opposing shrub and his stupidity does not mean we are not supporting our troops.
I LOVE TED KENNEDY!!!!!!!!!
do you love Mitch McConnell?
LOL HELL NO!!!!! Mitch McConnell is a neocon bastard.
How many GOP votes are we going to get?
Mitch McConnell is the jerk who called us all terrorist sympethizers because we aoppse the escalation.
Sounds like the new poll-tested, focus group-approved label is “slow bleed” to describe the Democrats’ plans for Iraq.
I think you are right.
Go Harry!!!!!
Not More War but Less War!!!!! I love it!!!!!!
Not More War But Less War
Loser Joe votes with the repugs yet again.
You mean he’s there? I thought he was going to stay home because that would mean working on the sabbath – or something like that. Does this mean they will put him to death?
According to Halakha (Jewish law) to break the Sabbath is a capital offense (Exodus 31:15):
Six days may work be done; but in the seventh is the sabbath of rest, holy to the LORD: whosoever doeth any work in the sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death.
Gop senators voting for cloture that I have noticed so far:
Chuck Hagel
Gordon Smith
John Warner
Susan Collins
Norm Coleman
Olympia Snowe
Arlen Specter
Lieberman broke the sabbath to vote no. When was the last time he did that?
Well the senate has proven yet again they are weak and the majority of them need to be replaced!!!!
