Senate Votes 75-25 To Condemn MoveOn.Org Ad
Hillary Clinton, Chuck Schumer, Harry Reid, all voted to not condemn the Moveon ad. So did 22 others. See the list of Senators who clearly have expressed their approval of the ad, below.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Senate voted Thursday to condemn an advertisement by the liberal anti-war group MoveOn.org that accused the top military commander in Iraq of betrayal.
The 72-25 vote condemned the full-page ad that appeared in The New York Times last week as Gen. David Petraeus, the top military commander in Iraq, testified on Capitol Hill. The ad was headlined: “General Petraeus or General Betray Us? Cooking the books for the White House.”
Sen. Gordon Smith, one of the very few Republican senators who supports legislation ordering troop withdrawals, told reporters Thursday he thought Petraeus’ testimony and the MoveOn.org ad were the two biggest factors in keeping Republicans from breaking ranks with the president: Petraeus’ testimony because it was persuasive and the MoveOn add because it went too far by attacking a popular uniformed officer.
Here’s all the Demorats who voted in favor of Moveon’s ad accusing General Petraeus of betraying America in time of war:

This list doesn’t surprise me in the least.

September 20th, 2007 at 11:59 amLooks like all the usual suspects are there. I’m just glad that there aren’t any (R-**)’s next to those names. This is the type of crap that you expect from the (D-**)’s.
September 20th, 2007 at 11:59 amPathetic,
If West Virginians could only hear about their beloved Jay Rockefeller and his blind devotion to the George Soros goon squad on the evening news, we would not have to suffer through another term of this shameless power grabbing liberal douche.
September 20th, 2007 at 12:00 pmVOTE the True traitors OUT!
September 20th, 2007 at 12:02 pmAll the big names, Clinton, Kennedy, Reid, Harkin, Durbin, Boxer, Rockefeller, Feingold … What a travesty.
September 20th, 2007 at 12:20 pmThe usual suspects, Clinton surprises me the least, as that “PAC” was an apologist front for Slick Willy’s affairs. Hildawg as is typical, just turned the other cheek, for Bill is her only chance at the Presidency.
September 20th, 2007 at 12:43 pmNot surprising.
I think we may end up having to throw these clowns out.
September 20th, 2007 at 12:48 pmtime to start the email war and let these represenatives know who they should really be worried about. Even though I want to call them every name in the book it will only lower myself to what they have done to Petraeus.
September 20th, 2007 at 12:49 pmWhere is Biden
September 20th, 2007 at 1:23 pmKerry condemned the ad verbally the day it was published, but now he has voted against a measure condemning it. Brings back memories…
Moveon must have put him in his place after he spoke out against them, reminding him that he still works for them, not for the American people.
September 20th, 2007 at 1:43 pmWow what a shocking list (sarcasm). This is nothing more than a list of traitors to this country and its not the first instance by any of the ones on it unfortunately.
September 20th, 2007 at 2:09 pmFuck Moveon.org!!
Flithy Bastards
September 20th, 2007 at 4:39 pmKerry, “I voted for it before I voted agianst it!”Good God, he could have been president, and the cunt may be, revolution!
September 20th, 2007 at 4:41 pmI REALLY fucking hate democrats. I suppose I could understand their constant bashing of Pres Bush, but to essentially slap a 4 Star General in the face is despicable. This man, as well as many other Pat Dollard fans and followers are the people that provide them the very freedom to WEAKEN our country, wipe their asses with the American flag, and spit in the faces of every single American service member. Oh, but let us not forget that every democrat (i.e. Dennis Kucinich) have the nerve to call themselves “patriots” and “proud americans.” Fuck You. I hope you all die slowly.
September 20th, 2007 at 5:51 pmSenate Condemns MoveOn Ad, Still More
No Republican voted against condemning the MoveOn ad. All 25 votes against the amendment were Democrats. Democrats who voted with Republicans to condemn the MoveOn ad were:
One interesting note: Some of the senators who won the greatest support from the netroots in the last election, like McCaskill, Tester, Klobuchar, and Webb, voted to condemn the ad.
Peace!

This is just a cheap political stunt that wastes time and effort. The Dems do it too and it is why congress is at 11% approval.
