[Staph]

1. The two Democrats who voted nay

are Gene Taylor, Mississippi 4th district, and Jim Marshall, Georgia 4th district.

We need to find some replacement candidates for the 2008 primary election.

[Journeyman]

4. I was just getting ready to ask this question. . .

but thought to refresh first, and there you were with the answer.

Thanks.

[NYC Liberal]

5. Thanks for that! I marked them on the list above. nt

[lancdem]

9. Can you bold the Repubs who voted yes?

:hi:

Thank you so much for posting this.

Here are the "yes" Repubs: http://electioncentral.tpmcafe.com/blog/electioncentral/2007/feb/16/house_votes_on_escalation_17_republicans_defect_and_condemn_surge

[NYC Liberal]

21. Just did!

:hi:

[lancdem]

7. Marshall almost lost in November

He was one of only a couple of Dem incumbents in that situation. That would explain his vite, I think. And Taylor is pretty conservative, if I recall.

[itsmesgd]

12. here's Marshall's number call and complain

I just got through
202-225-6531

[mvd]

13. Good - I'll be interested if you give a report about..

what they say.

[itsmesgd]

16. I just got the typical "ok, thanks" from his staffer when I said that I was disappointed and we'd be

replacing him the next time out

[Selatius]

15. Gene Taylor can't be removed in 2008.

His re-election was in 2006. You have to wait until 2010 when the 4-year term expires.

[Staph]

18. Gene Taylor is in the House of Representatives.

Everyone's term is up in 2008. Everyone's term is two years.

[Selatius]

20. Oops, nevermind. You're correct. n/t

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

19. Representatives are elected for 2 years not 4.

So, Taylor can be removed.

[RiverStone]

22. Can anyone enlighten us as to who these 2 cowards are?

DINO = Democratic In Name Only (perhaps?)

After 4 years of this tragic and immoral war of aggression, any DEM that supports Shrub's continued lies and escalation needs to be booted from the party!

No apologist's wanted this time - shit, it's not even a "binding" resolution! :grr:

[magellan]

27. Marshall may be in with the neocons

His name popped up on the "board of advisers" for The Foundation for the Defense of Democracies, a neoconservative think tank, according to Right Web (http://rightweb.irc-online.org/profile/1475).

[jannyk]

2. Thank you!! n/t

[lancdem]

3. Who are the Dems who voted no?

Melancon and Matheson voted yes.

Edit: Thank you for clearing that up.

[AlinPA]

6. Twit (Alex?) said the vote was a victory for Bush** ! They didn't get the 50

R votes that the slime media said they would. (MSNBC)

[NYC Liberal]

10. So the media claims 50-60 Repukes will vote for it, and when "only" 17 do,

they can spin it as a victory! :crazy:

[lancdem]

11. lol

It ain't a victory for Bush. Let 'em spin till they're blue in the face.

[mvd]

8. Thanks!

I'm glad it passed. Gerlach is never good on Iraq stuff. Buys into the whole "I'm supporting the troops" phoniness.

[Geoff R. Casavant]

14. If my memory is correct, at least 17 Rs crossed over

I think the Democratic contingent has 231 members. Two Dems voted nay, so no more than 229 Dems voted yea. That means at least 17 Rs must have crossed over.

[niceypoo]

17. I didnt know that president Bush 1 did an episode of Tales from the Crypt

Isn't that the Crypt Keeper there to his right??

[Peace Patriot]

23. I would also like to know which Republicans voted YES--anybody have that

handy?

---------------------------------

Although this vote was not to rescind the Iraq War Resolution, or to defund the war, still it represents a stunning reversal for war profiteers and Bushites, from 5 years ago, when only 156 members of Congress (25 in the Senate, and 126 in the House) voted against the IWR, and a major turning point in our country, from four decades ago when only TWO Congress members voted against the "Gulf of Tonkin" resolution (major escalation of the Vietnam War). In 1964, 4% of Congress voted against unjust war. In 2002, 25% of Congress voted against unjust war. And in 2007, about 57% of the House just voted to begin to undo this disastrous quagmire in Iraq, yet another unjust war (and it will probably be about 50/50 in the Senate, only 1/3 of which was up for reelection in 2006).

I was very impressed with the number of Congress members who voted against the IWR in 2002--remembering back to 1964 and how the ""Gulf of Tonkin" resolution got rammed through Congress with almost no dissent. I was also amazed and impressed that 56% of the American people opposed Bush's war from the beginning--before the invasion, before the 100% pack of lies that Colin Powell told to the UN was fully exposed--and this was with a lot of disinformation rattling around in peoples' heads (Saddam WMDs, Saddam connection to 9/11), with the American public under a relentless, 24/7 barrage of warmongering from every corporate news monopoly in the country. 56%! Now it's 70% or more.

Congress is not yet fully representative of the American people--partly because of the lack of elections in 2/3 of the Senate, and partly because of "trade secret," proprietary vote counting by rightwing Bushite corporations--but I see that we are inching back toward democracy. This resolution today, which I believe is the beginning of a plan to strip Bush of power to commence aggressive war, will live as one of the best moments in the history of democracy, and in the long and difficult story of human beings' search for a peaceful world, in which problems are resolved with diplomacy. Our parents and grandparents who fought WW II thought they had settled that matter once and for all, with the Nuremberg trials, the Marshall Plan, the Geneva Conventions and the United Nations. Bush and his Junta have sought to undo all of those tremendous gains for world peace. Now we have to fight for them all over again--for things that many of us took for granted as children: that our country opposes military aggression, and if office holders are guilty of military aggression, they will be punished and removed; that our country doe not torture prisoners, and if office holders are guilty of torture, they will be held accountable; and that we are a country ruled by laws not men.

Those sacred beliefs have been grossly violated by the liars and demagogues of the Bush regime--some of whom we heard from today and over the last few days, speaking as Bush "pod people" in Congress, and no doubt speaking for their war profiteer campaign contributors. We need to target every one of them for removal from office, in addition to removing their lawless leaders in the White House. Let this be the first day of American Revolution II: the Restoration of Democracy, in the country in which the "sovereignty of the people" was first declared!

[Peace Patriot]

24. I see that you've answered my question about the Republicans. Thank you!

Every one of them who voted to continue this war (including the 2 Democrats) must be removed from office. And those who voted to deny the escalation of course must be closely monitored for followup actions to stop the war.

[B Calm]

25. Representative Jim Marshall (D - GA) Taylor from Mississippi??

[NYC Liberal]

26. Apparently so, yep.
