Who cares how the Dinosaur spin. It totally ripped the guts out of the Anti War Movement. It is what the Senate should of done on Tuesday.

[paudio]

The Dems said the Republicans introduced the bill with intention to be turned down, so it's only a political stunt. Why didn't the Dems introduce their own bill, then?

Exactly right -

[randog]

The question was "Do you put yourself on record as wanting immediate withdrawal of our troops?".

No matter how the MSM spins it, it's a very simple question that everyone in America, pro- and anti-war can understand without the experts "explaining" it to them. The vote tally is even easier to understand--the far left now knows that their champions in Congress are just stroking them. They can spin it 50 ways to Sunday, but they know deep down inside that no one's pushing their agenda.

[speed_addiction]

According to the Democrats, the war is based on nothing Bush's lies. Last night they voted to not bring the troops home but instead have them continue dying for a lie. How the hell can they spin that?
