What does the headline mean by "11 more" -- ? I read the story, and it sounds like only 11 Republicans are supporting this measure - so what does "more" mean? Did I miss something - or did the headline writer miss something, or is it a biased headline?

Are they talking about Senators, or Representatives?

"He added that mail and calls to his office are running 10 to 1 in support of his position."

in other words, the entire DU with posting privileges has called his 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?

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.

"Rep. Mike Castle is one of about two dozen House Republicans who are expected to vote in favor of the resolution."

It is imperative for our side to demoralize the defeatists and traitors not only to stand up to their defeatism and treason but also to constantly remind them that they are too weak and too impotent that they can barely pass a "non binding" defeatist resolution in the House and they cannot even pass it in the Senate. Remember that the left wing loons and their meida live in a delusional world where they see themselves all powerful and in total control and nothing will demoralize more than to remind them with the bitter reality that they are too weak and to impotent to stop President Bush from doing what he wants to win the war.
