SO HAGEL & WARNER VOTED AGAINST THEIR OWN

[montanacowboy]

RESOLUTION???????????? LET ME GET THIS STRAIGHT; THE DEMS BUY ONTO THE REPUBLICS RESOLUTION AND THEN THE REPUBLICS FILIBUSTER THEIR OWN RESOLUTION?

I HONEST TO GOD CANNOT BELIEVE THIS. WHAT KIND OF SIDE SHOW ARE WE RUNNING IN CONGRESS?

1. And this really has to get out there RE: Chuck Hagel....

This guy is running for President, and has been shouting big time about Escalation and today turns around and votes along party lines. Hey, I give him Kudo's for his disipline, but not for what was on the floor.

3. Unless I'm mistaken - which I could very well be - this wasn't Hagel's resolution...

unless they voted to filibuster more than one. This was the Warner-Levin resolution. Hagel did one with Biden and two others.

Still unbelievable that anyone claiming to be so against the war and this particular escalation would vote against any of them.

Sick.

5. Exactly

They stand around and acknowledge that the only solution in Iraq is a political -- not military -- solution.

But they don't have the courage to vote to cut off the funds that allows the occupiers to remain in Iraq.

11. they haven't been able to vote on *'s budget yet

that is what will tell the tale.

i don't have much faith that they have the spine to turn off the tap in iraq.

6. We don't understand the rules of the game.

We keep thinking that this is touch football when in reality it is cage fighting.

7. Exactly my reaction!

8. Montanacowboy....Our phuckin gov't is broken! And Americans.....

It's over.

9. Yeah but

what really matter is a Snickers commercial. Or the exact parsing of John Edwards words. DU is a freaking alternative universe. I don't have much stomach for it these days. As some said here so succinctly, it's BROKEN. Can we say CHARADE? Wow thank GOD the Dems won the majority. That changed everything.

10. Should have threatened them to 'go nuclear' !

and change Senate rules...
