Hutchison, Cornyn
Choose Death

The showdown is over and death won.

With the assistance of U.S. anti-patriots Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison and Sen. John Cornyn, their GOP bretheren were able to gridlock a measure that would have provided debate on whether President Bush’s deployment of at least 21,500 additional combat troops to Iraq is essential for freedom in America.

The vote was 56-34, falling four short of the 60 needed to move forward on a nonbinding measure like the one approved by the House on Friday.

Seven Republicans in the senate, knowing that the American public is disgusted at Bush’s proposal, jumped the USSGOP for a ride in the Democratic-led lifeboat, but it wasn’t enough to break the silence. The seven Republicans who voted to advance the measure were Norm Coleman of Minnesota, Susan Collins of Maine, Chuck Hagel of Nebraska, Gordon Smith of Oregon, Olympia Snowe of Maine, Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania, and John Warner of Virginia.

Hutchison and Cornyn have again defied their constituents, preferring to rule instead of serve. The Texas senators proved true to the notion that Big Oil and the industrial military complex must be protected, even if it means that genocide is a by-product and innocents will be forced upon the sword.

The next vote, whether to provide the $93 billion in greenery to further escalate and fuel the war movement, is expected soon.

Whether true patriots still exist in the federal government will be shown when that vote is taken.

It will tell whether they believe in America, or whether they are merely fascists out to make a fast buck by robbing from the taxpayers in order to award preferred corporates.

This is a game they have been playing for far too long.

They have gotten away with it, thanks largely to non-thinking voters who prefer royalty over realism and who don’t care who dies, as long as they don’t have to go to the funeral.

It’s time for a dose of reality.
