"no one aught to Hide behind the troops" Hoyer to Healther Wilson. He

[rodeodance]

is very angry, on cspan NOW

1. It was Wilson he's addressing? I missed eveything she said.

She PISSED Steny off though!

[rodeodance]

2. basically she said this Res does nOT support troops but she was

ragging on and on.

[rodeodance]

3. He was addressing all who make this claim but signaled out Wilson

4. I heard some of the crap she was spewing, but must have missed the part that ticked off Steny.

He's setting her staright. I LOVE when our Dems do this. :)

[POAS]

5. She was trying

to say that those that support the troops do not support all the troops because the resolution only mentions troops currently on the ground in Iraq!

She was playing a symantic game!

[in_cog_ni_to]

6. WHAT A SCUMBAG she is!

Now they're nitpicking the wording? MY G-d...how desperate are these freaks?

[Pirate Smile]

9. She was saying the resolution only supports the troops that are

on the ground in Iraq right now but would the troops that are being sent over there (but not there yet) get the bullets, the armour, the vehicles - she was getting weepy and starting to cry saying we weren't going to give the troops that are on their way over there the supplies they need to survive - like we are going to have them in Iraq without guns and weapons and armour - sniff, sniff.

It was horribly distorting the facts but exactly what the Republicans want to have repeated on TV as a sound bite. It sounded terrible for the troops.

10. Reminds me of Jean Schmidt.

[Old and In the Way]

7. I love the wording of this resolution. The Republics are getting a taste of their own medicine.

If they vote no, part of that resolution will mean they are voting against supporting the troops. Of course they hate this...they've been hiding behind the "supporting the troops" caveat like it was their own personal trademark.

[POAS]

8. I hadn't thought of that twist to the wording

Good catch.

And thanks for using the correct reference to the opposition, "republics"! :)

11. Heather deserves to have her ass kicked but good. Slandering, malicious B**CH!

She abandoned all semblance of civility and rationality and maliciously slandered the opponents of using troops as cannon fodder. Outright lying and misrepresenting!

:grr:

[POAS]

13. Jean Schmidt Lite!

12. Text of House Concurrent Resolution 63 ...

Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), That--

(1) Congress and the American people will continue to support and protect the members of the United States Armed Forces who are serving or who have served bravely and honorably in Iraq; and

(2) Congress disapproves of the decision of President George W. Bush announced on January 10, 2007, to deploy more than 20,000 additional United States combat troops to Iraq.
