Ok, what is with the 2 DEMS (Marshall and Taylor) that voted NAY? Here's hoping they get LOTS of negative publicity for siding with Shrub!! Are they DINO's? :shrug:

Also 2 DEMS did not vote: Baird and Nadler - I do not know why they missed it.

Kudos to 229 DEMS and 17 Repubs for voting YEA!

:applause:

1. Thought there

were supposed to be about 60 Repugs supporting this. So much for crossing the Chimp.

2. 17 Repubs is a far cry from 40-60 Repubs...

What happened? Did the Congress get the "squeeze" from the WH? NSA wiretapping has been very effective, hasn't it? :grr:

5. No. The media played the hype game with the Republics

[fooj]

6. Maybe the Repubs played the "inflated" number game...

and the media helped "project" it...

Makes perfect sense to me.

9. Exactly!

7. My Dem rep voted NO (Taylor, Mississippi)

I'm pretty ill about that vote. I'd like to think that he fears a backlash from the neanderthal worthless motherfuckers in the district but like a loose thread I'm a frayed knot. No pun intended.

This pisses me off and the congressman will be hearing from this vet.

8. I hope Taylor hears real LOUD!

What an f'cking coward Taylor is - why the hell does he need to suck up to Shrub?!

Good on ya BOSSHOG for giving him an ear full. After 4 years of Shrub's lies and more lies to feed this immoral escalation - any DEM that votes for supporting this madness needs to be booted from the party.

He might as well join Lieberman.

I'd be interested what Taylor says to justify this cowardly act. Maybe keep us posted?

Thanks :)
