Unprincipled vote for no withdrawl - Pathetic
“You guys are pathetic! Pathetic!” yelled Rep. Marty Meehan, D-Mass.
ROTFLMAO! Marty Meehan yelled pathetic at Congresswoman Schmidt when she called a Marine, wounded twice in service of his country a coward. Now, of course, the man who she said told her to do that said he didn't. She's apologized and said she never meant to call him a coward. And both of the liars are soooo upset that the media would make so much of this little incident. :lol: :lol: Pathetic is right!
In a quick move to put Democrats on the spot, the House voted to reject a quick military pullout in Iraq. The measure was defeated by 403-3.
In a quick move to stop Democratic Congressman Murtha's reasonable, well thoughtout out proposal from coming to the floor, the Republican leadership crafted their own cut and run proposal that they knew would not be approved. They had their backs to the wall. If they allowed Murtha's proposal to come up for a vote, many of their own membership would have voted for it. Except for the fact the Republican leadership in the House is playing politics with the lives of Americans, it's too funny for words!
What was pathetic is that the democrats didn’t put their money where their mouth is. Since they really believe (so they say) that troops are occupying Iraq, then they should be principled enough to vote as such. Clearly that was expecting too much.
Some Dems did vote for the proposal, even though they knew it was a sham. Some Republicans refused to vote because they knew it was a sham. Most Dems voted against it as a protest for not allowing Murtha's proposal to come to the floor.
And the best thing about this bomb that blew up in the Republican House Leadership's face is that the mainstream media reported the whole thing! Family here for Thanksgiving Day were grinning from ear to ear about the news and comments being made about how the Republicans refused to allow Murtha's proposal to come up for a vote!
