Harry Reid and Russ Feingold Bill Resoundingly Defeated in Bipartisan Smackdown
Senate Rejects Legislation to Cut Money for Troops in IraqSo the 28-70 vote and the AP describes this as a "predictable defeat for Democrats" and that the "vote was 32 short of the 60 needed" Now thats funny. In the first place, I had no idea that there were so few "Democrats" in the Senate. In fact, I thought that the Democrats were in the majority...silly me.
Thursday, September 20, 2007
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.
In the second place, I can only respond with..."only 32 votes short?" Why it was a "near run thing." The Republican barely escaped with a victory.
Excuse me AP, by my count, it would appear that it was a stinging defeat for the extremist in the Democrat Party. A sound rejection by nearly half of their own members of Harry "the Sniveler" Reid, Russ "Soupy Sales" Feingold, and Hillary "the Madame" Clinton and their lose at any cost cadre of cowardly quiters.

-----Sniveling Harry Reid---------------------------------Russ and Soupy-Separated at Birth?
Sorry AP. Sorry Harry this was not a "predictable defeat for Democrats." This was a WWF smackdown, a NCLS 4-game sweep, a stinging rebuke of the heavy handed tactics being used by the extreme Left-wing element in the Democrat Party.
If this had been a little league baseball game it would have been called at the end of the first inning.
AP's take on this is nothing short of surreal...of course I come to expect the surreal from the propaganda wing of the Democrat Party some people still insist on calling the mainstream media.
BAMM!! Take that Snivelly Whiplash and Soupy Sales.
Long Live Our American Republic!!!

Does this mean there are good Democrats?
Absolutely, Onion.
There are millions of good Democrats out there. Sadly mislead and pusuaded by the disinformation efforts of the extreme Leftist Democrat Leadership and their current string-pullers like dailyKos, democraticunderground.com, and MoveOn.org. I have never said that rank and file Democrat Party members are "bad," only that they are generally less well informed and less rational than their Republican opponents.
And yes before you ask, it also means that there are some bad Republican and not just RINOs but people who have allowed themselves to be corrupted by the system.
It's just far less likely for one to hear about the corruption of Democrats than Republicans.
Like, for instance, why Diane Feinstein has never been investigated for the $Billions in contracts she managed to have funneled to her husbands defense contractor businesses while whe was on the Defense Appropriations Committee and how it is that they were suddenly able to build a home that cost an alleged $29 million.
Makes Duke Cunninghams crimes seem like misdemeanors in comparison.
So yes there are good Democrats. There are even a couple in the Senate who are fairly reasonable.
