Saturday, Nov. 19, 2005 10:54 a.m. EST Nancy Pelosi: Pro-Troop Vote 'a Disgrace'
Anti-war House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi is blasting last night's 403 to 3 House vote in support of U.S. troops and their mission in Iraq, calling it "a disgrace."
Complaining that House Republicans had engaged in a "deception" by calling for a last minute vote on the Iraq war, the San Francisco Democrat said the pro-troop resolution was "a disservice to our country."
Pelosi said that the "Republican majority has stooped to a new low" by forcing Democrats to go on the record against an immediate pullout.
Her California colleague, House Armed Services Committee chairman, Rep. Duncan Hunter, wrote the resolution, which asked whether members thought "that the deployment of United States forces in Iraq be terminated immediately."
"We're going to let every member answer that, and I hope the message that goes back to our troops in Iraq is that we do not support a precipitous pullout," Hunter said.
Pelosi slammed Hunter's proposal as "a political stunt and should it be rejected by this House" - minutes before she voted with the Republican majority.

Complaining that House Republicans had engaged in a "deception" by calling for a last minute vote on the Iraq war... I guess only Harry Reid is allowed to engage in deception by calling for a last minute closed session of the Senate with telling Frist first.
--without telling Frist first.

Rats hate being held accountable for their actions.
Either you're with us or against us Nancy. Apparently you and your traitorous friends in the house are against us but you're too big of cowards to say so.
I was waiting for Nancy to have a Freudian slip and shout
Allah Akbar!

The problem with this vote was that the Republicans violated a long-standing protocol. When a democRat makes a statement, the Republicans are required to check the democRat for foaming at the mouth before taking him/her/it at his/her/its word. Murtha was apparently off his meds when he called for this vote and should have been ignored.

I can't ever remember the Republicans outmaneuvering the Dems in such a dramatic and powerful fashion!
Charles Rangle's call to reinstate the draft? The pubs did the same thing then.

Murtha is not the only RAT who wants the troops withdrawn now, yet they voted not to do that. Typical flimflam fraud fakery by the RATs.
