I'm anything but thrilled with Santorum's recent votes - like the one yesterday on the war,"
The Dems spun it as some kind of repudiation of Bush.
I havent seen how the media spun that vote, but i wouldnt be surprised if its simply DNC-based exageration. JMHO.
But that view is spin/wrong.
It was simply asking Bush admin to report on progress in Iraq and have metrics etc, as they are already doing ... at least that is how Rumsfeld felt about it when he was on Hannity yesterday.
The more serious troop withdrawal proposal went down to defeat.
Cannot agree with you on yesterday's Senate vote. Republicans are saying it was the only way they could keep a big bunch of Republicans from voting with the Democrats on their bill to surrender and pull the troops. The ONLY thing missing from the Democrat bill in the Republican one was a date certain to leave Iraq. If the Republicans and Santorum think this is going to get them re-elected in '06 (appeasing not only the RINOs but also the Democrats) I think they are in for a big surprise come election day. Someone needs to tell them "We suck less than the Democrats" for their slogan is NOT a winner.
