After hours of bashing the war effort, President Bush's foriegn policies and the GOP, Hastert pulled their rug out from under them and made the Dims choose to either put their vote where their rhetoric was, or show the entire country that they could talk the talk, but couldn't get up off their knees to walk the walk.

All but three voted against the measure and a handful of real cowards voted "present" proving that their empty, pandering blathering was nothing more than that.

The dims will rue the day that they were led to spew their loathing for the military and the war effort and then forced to back up their lip-service to the moonbat fringe with a public voice vote, recorded for posterity and all to see and hear. The exact opposite that they intended.

Too bad, so sad.

Hastert pulled their rug out from under them ...

I think it was J.D. Hayworth idea, implemented by Blunt and Drier with Hunter fronting the resolution. Hastert was "on board," but didn't have anything to do with leading the effort.
