Exactly.....nothing more, nothing less.
Re-election is all politicians care about from the very first day in office.

Nine of the 11 Republicans who criticized Bush's troop-buildup plan voted for the 2002 resolution authorizing the use of military force against Iraq; the two dissenters were Reps. John J. "Jimmy" Duncan Jr. of Tennessee and Ron Paul of Texas Ron Paul?
Isn't he regarded as some kind of a maverick hero by many here on FR?

Vote whores indeed . But i don't blame them , this war has been bungled from the time we toppled Saddam . The pc fighting never worked . The enemy knows the WH is not serious about war as it needs to be fought . There are many of us who are sick and tired of our best being picked off by cave dwelling goat f22kers . The fact that we allow Sadr and the rest of this scum to live is sickening . Okay so for the sake of those who went all in ,lets make one more try . There are many who think as i do . No lefty here....

Watching proceedings in the House on C-SPAN. The Chair just said each side has a little over four hours left. The vote is not going to come until the wee hours of the morning.
