Why Congressional Republicans don’t want to vote on a resolution authorizing military action

* QUOTE OF THE DAY, PLAYING-POLITICS-WITH-WAR EDITION: GOP Rep. Jack Kingston, on why Congressional Republicans don’t want to vote on a resolution authorizing military action:

“Republicans don’t want to change anything. We like the path we’re on now. We can denounce it if it goes bad, and praise it if it goes well and ask what took him so long.”


Hey, that is a clever strategy! Thanks for your candor, Congressman.
