This could backfire against the Dems and the RINOs in a major way. If enough get cold feet and vote to nix the idea and raffirm the war, it could dampen this anti-war politickin' and bloviatin' thats been going on.
They won't show up to vote. That simple. Hastert wouldn't have done this without making sure his people were lined up first.
Or it could backfire on the Republicans if they have to pull the now scheduled vote or worse yet, if they hold the vote and the RINOs defect to vote with the Democrats. Is Tom Delay in town or tied up in court in Texas? If he's in D.C., the worst that would happen is there will not be a vote - bad enough. I bet he's in Tx since I think there is stuff from court today on here.
Not only will I donate $ to the opponent of each and every "immediate pullout" vote, be they Dem or Repub, I would hope to volunteer my time to also protest the wimpy scums as well.
We'll see...
And .. I believe one of the more brilliant members of the House has figured it out!
Finally - a backbone!!
MY CHECK IS GOING OUT TOMORROW!!
It looks like that's what's happening! HAHA!! It is 11:15 PM and the vote is going on right now. So far it is 3 "YEA"(1 Rep., 2 Dems), 336 "NAY" and 85 not votes. This cannot pass.
This is great! We have a reaffirmation from the House of Representatives for the war. Let them try to (and they will) spin this their way. I can't wait to see how the Cindy Sheehan nutjobs react! ;)
