Dems should dare to vote NO on Iraq Res.

They should say that we can not win if this is how the GOP leadership plans on conduct the business of the American people. Fence sitting Republicans are primed up to jump on board.

Something bold like that would put Bush and his lil Turd back in their place... below 28%. We may not agree right now on how to finish the WoT, but we do agree that these guys don't have a chance.

3. That won't work this time.
Their probably banking on it. The vote will still go on as planned, and all well hear about is how the measure passed, and how the Dem's don't care about safeguarding America.

4. And after the vote, Dem's can scald the GOP for trying to take credit
for killing Zarqawi.

"It sounded like they killed Zarqawi themselves! They weren't flying those planes, they weren't taking fire while tracking some lead! If I'm not mistaken, some of those gentlemen (snark) were back here in Washington praying that their name wouldn't show up on the same page as Jack Abramoff!" Says some Dem says from a post vote news conference from the rotunda.

7. Don't know, that's my point.
The speaker can just continue the vote without whomever walks. Who would really know it even happened except for us?

It's not just Dem's who are fed up with such tactics. And as the past few months have shown, it's still fashionable for Repubs to run from Bush on Iraq. We need to act while the ground's still fertile for such action. If not, we could risk a bush resurgence.

resolution, so this is actually a moot point. Maybe they will surprise me, and throw it right back at the bastards during the debate. Perhaps they could start by saying Iraq had NOTHING TO DO WITH 9/11, and tell them TO STOP LYING about this fraud

6. The Democrats should not pull any punches...
The should release a rhetorical barrage down on their asses. Then vote present. In doing so, they have made their point.

8. Stand tall and take ownership !
Walk down to the well and make sure the whole floor hears you say NO!

Let the media try to ignore that.
