Later down the year, that "no" vote will hang like an
stones around those Senators' necks. It is our job to remind them of every corpse they drag in their wake.

1. Imagine the rationale for flip flopping in the very near future.

They were against flip flopping before they were for it.

2. DING DING DING! Skidmore, you're our grand prize winner!
Edited on Wed Jul-18-07 10:31 AM by rocknation
That's EXACTLY why it was so important to do this: even it if fails, we succeed in getting the vote on record, and in turn, in using against the GOP in '08. The hell with the Dems not having the votes--let the Rethugs filibuster, obstruct, block, and interfere to their heart's content!

I hope they do.

4. If there are no restrictions on their number, I suggest one
marathon session a week with associated street demonstrations until something changes with that vote.

8. The Thugs mentioned Code Pink at least three times. It was
sort of funny because they seemed as concerned about them as about the insurgency!

9. Unless you can buy a television network, I think it will be buried like every other GOP crime.
But good luck with that.

12. Yup. Plus, there's a sale at JC Penney's.
And...oh, there's so much good stuff to watch on TV. Who has the time for such trivial matters as politics?

10. This must remain in the news, I agree with the person who said to keep bringing it up.
The Repulicons need to have the scarlet letter "O" appear on their foreheads, for OBSTRUCTING the vote to bring the troops home. Then show the number of dead troops who could have lived had they not voted against cloture.

This is all such bullshit.

And what the hell is Nancy Pelosi doing today? I know Conyers has his hands full with that Hag Harriet, but Nancy needs to plant her butt down and start discussing impeachment. It's past time, Nancy. Do it or you will be labeled an accomplice to these crimes for all of history.

So what is it Nancy? Do you want to be PART of the problem, or the SOLUTION to the problem? You decide.
