Senate Rejects Legislation to Cut Money for Troops in Iraq
WASHINGTON — The Senate blocked legislation Thursday that would have cut off money for combat in Iraq by June. It was a predictable defeat for Democrats struggling to pass less divisive anti-war measures.
The 28-70 vote was 32 short of the 60 needed to cut off a GOP filibuster. The legislation, sponsored by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and Sen. Russ Feingold, was indicative of the Democratic leadership’s new hardline strategy.
“Over and over, we have heard members of Congress saying we should wait until September before finally changing course in Iraq. Now, the president, and some members here in Congress, still want to keep a large number of our brave troops bogged down in Iraq indefinitely, while Al Qaeda continues to strengthen and regenerate itself in the Pakistan-Afghanistan border region. The American people are as determined as ever to end this disastrous war,” Feingold, D-Wis., said before the vote.
Unable to attract enough Republican support on less contentious proposals, Reid has sought votes on strong anti-war measures intended to force a withdrawal of troops.

Hairy Reid … Cross dresser.

So much for the party of strong defense. I say vote away, show us where you stand.

September 20th, 2007 at 3:50 pmFeingold is a douchebag. I’m embarassed to live in a state that elected him.
September 20th, 2007 at 4:39 pmFeingold was one of the traitors that voted NAY to condemning MOVEON for their Petraeus ad. This guy is a walking piece of shit that needs a good flushing. Sadly, the voters of Madison and Milwaukee think he is the greatest.
September 20th, 2007 at 5:29 pmHaha yea we’re as determined as ever all right…to win this thing and stuff it down your fucking throat you treasonous swine.
September 20th, 2007 at 5:41 pmReid, you cowardly belch, face it douchbag, you own defeat.
The defeat a coming is the D’rat majority, Son of a Bitch!
September 20th, 2007 at 8:44 pmGreat pic. I never get enough of that one. Say what happened to the bragadoccio that Webb-dick was echewing the other day on his big micromanager bill? Oh it didn’t pass.
Too bad so sad. More big talk from the girlie-man Webb.
Much like the rest of the surrender monkies, looks like the little pussies lost again. A drink to those in Congress with enough common sense left to block these motherfucking idiots who are trying to weaken American resolve and the US Troops stationed in harms way.

September 21st, 2007 at 1:23 amCan’t add anything to these fine comments except MEGADITTOS!
September 21st, 2007 at 4:29 amWell, as we all know, Reid, Murtha, Pelosi, Webb, Kucinich, and TOO MANY people in Washington idolize Neville Chamberlain, and want to be know as the architects of the new American Vichy government. Maybe they forget that some of those same Vichy leaders also swung after that war was won by the Allies. Can’t wait until the dems get their share of hemp…
