The other 229 (and 17 Republicans) stood with the terrorists.

Opps. I meant 'libertarian'.

Maybe that slip was a little Freudian.

[evangmlw]

There is much truth in this picture. The days of conservatism in the U.S. are probably over. The current Democrat Party has been seized by the antichrist who is to be the final power for the hour to come around the world. The liberal and socialist movements of the world are part of the entire scheme. Our youth have been brainwashed by liberal and socialist agendas. The end is near! Thank God for the fact that Jesus Christ will return to end their hideous reign.

[No Truce With Kings]

"Ron Paul always looks for constitutional authority before voting."

Well, then he voted wrong this time. There is NO Constitutional Authority for Congress to be running the military. The President is the Commander in Chief. There is a long body of literature -- starting with the Federalist Papers that say that resolutions like this one exceed Congress's authority. You cannot have 345 Commanders in Chief.

Paul won't vote for resolutions lauding individuals because he cannot find "Congressional authority" for such votes, but he finds "Congressional authority" for a meaningless resolution that serves only to embolden our enemies?

Paul has lost my vote -- forever. I am in his district. I will support ANY challenger in the Republican Primary, and if Paul wins that, I will not vote in that race in the general election.

skunks!!!

Figures there would be one from Minnesota.

What can be done???

Can we even save this Country of ours?

The political system is too big, too slow and too complicated to fix this but, there MUST be something.

The time to do something was November 7, 2006. It was not done.

This begun on November 7, 2006 when the American voters voted to replace a sufficient number of Republicans with Democrats to make the Democrats the majority party in both Houses of Congress.

The seeds that were sown on November will soon be reaped.

Just as Hitler took Chamberlains' overtures to him as weakness in 1938 and deducted from them that Britain and France would not fight, thus ensuring WWII. Today's action by the Democrats and a few Republicans will be interpreted by the mullas as weakness , thus ensuring another major attack in the U.S.

Recent poll...

Wouldn't you like to have details of these polls? Who exactly is being polled? I don't put too much stock in polls. They can/are worded to obtain the desired responses. There is not one Republican I know who has stopped supporting the President. I find it amazing when the media reports "the American people" believe ...
they don't have a clue as to what the average American believes. I suspect media reports are based on one media person talking to another.

I do agree that the President and his advisors could have made their case better and sooner.

Freeper Poll Denial Syndrome should have died on election night, 2006.

Any one poll is suspect. Look at any 10 polls that tell the same basic story, and the truth is in there somewhere.

I think by that standard, polls are useful.

[freepersup]

Oh please... it was a squeaker of an election, not unlike the squeaker of an election when Bush won in 2000 AND again in 2004. Bush had no mandate, the left railed, therefore he MUST govern from the center.

The 2006 election was won by the slimest of margins; granted, the left captured both houses of Congress. It was as much voter revolt (or apathy) on the part of the RIGHT, that allowed the left to win the 2006 elections.

Local politics carried the day, AND, the CONSTANT drum beat by the drive by media AGAINST nearly everything President Bush stands for, was instrumental in turning the tide against the administration. SEE TODAY's HOUSE VOTE for similar ramifications.

The GOP faithful sent a CLEAR message to the RINOS on election day! Indications are, they are still not listening.

No way was it a DRAMATIC VOTE OF NO CONFIDENCE in the President. It WAS, a dramatic vote of no confidence in the weaklings adrift in the GOP infesting Congress.









On reflection... I think you're right.

It WAS a vote of no confidence in the President, brought about by the braying, wonking propaganda wing of the Democrat party, the MSM. Evil is, evil does.

That's what makes FR great. We can each have our own opinion. Bottom line for me is...I believe in and support this President. And, now it's time for me to sign off...nite.

Putnam didn't vote for this. You must have meant Keller.

[Colonel_Flagg]

Mr. Warner, Mr. Specter, Mr.Hagel....and what's up with Coleman?? WRT Coleman, it's simple. He's a triangulating Democrat.

I will never again care about how they vote on anything.

Gator - - you are correct!

These seventeen former Republicans have just voted in the most binding of all ways to cut the heart out of troop morale, to aid our sworn enemies abroad, and to give assistance and comfort to the leftists and Marxists in the Democratic Party, and their Old Media buddies.

What these seventeen former Republicans will surely do is to vote against defunding the troops (forgetting just what a long memory we here at F.R. have.) Just like their Democrat allies, they thing we are pretty stupid.

Most among the seventeen former Republicans will try to lie some pro-victory lies between now and the 2008 primaries.

We are solidly prepared not to believe so much as a word of it.
