What a bunch of Appeasement-minded Asshats!
The Democratic-controlled House issued a symbolic rejection of President Bush's plan to deploy more troops to Iraq on Friday, opening an epic confrontation between Congress and commander in chief over an unpopular war that has taken the lives of more than 3,100 U.S. troops.
The vote on the nonbinding measure was 246-182, with six not voting.
Within minutes, Democrats said their next move would be to challenge Bush’s request for $93 billion in new funds for the Pentagon....
17 Republicans joined 229 Democrats in a wartime rebuke to the president.
That was fewer GOP defections than Democrats had hoped to get and the White House and its allies had feared. Two Democrats joined 180 Republicans in opposition.
17 cowardly Republicans defected to vote for this travesty!
Disgraceful!
-17 cowardly Republicans defected to vote for this travesty!
Hopefully they are soon to be 17 former Congressmen.
See the Victory Caucus for the asshats who need to be sent home. LawnBoy Keller's district isn't in my county but I will support a primary challenger in any way I may.
