The democrats are emboldened...they have their total party controlled, while they even managed to get seventeen republicans to join them. THAT's the rub.

Walz looks for Iraq answers
Walz, a former command sergeant major in the National Guard,
used the war in Iraq as a defining wedge issue in
last year’s campaign
By Brian Voerding | Winona Daily News
.
Rep. Tim Walz has no illusions that a simple resolution could end the Iraq war,
a conflict nearing the start of its fifth year.
Still, he says, it’s a long overdue and
necessary first step toward Congress asserting its power in governing the conflict, and
toward allowing soldiers to return home.
“I, like all Americans,
wish that this president had made good decisions and that
the situation in Iraq was better,” Walz said
in a speech on the House floor Thursday afternoon.
“Unfortunately, wishful thinking does not make good foreign policy.”
“I didn’t come to sit on the back bench of Congress,”
he said in a conference call Thursday.
“I came to speak where I saw it necessary.
Minnesota doesn’t want a follower or a sheep;
they want a leader.”
A sheep in 'sheep skin' clothing,
Democrat Tim Walz.
I think they just use the 'Rep. Tim Walz'
to make Democrat supporters
think it's just Republicans who screw-up.
Lincoln had a great many opponents of his war to deal with. Not one was hanged for this opposition, except possibly by mobs.
There are the two democrat patriots who voted against this travesty:
Representative Jim Marshall (GA)
Phone: (202) 225-6531
Fax: (202) 225-3013
Email
Representative Gene Taylor (MS)
Phone: (202) 225-5772
Fax: (202) 225-7074
Email
Unfortunately, the congressmen don't accept emails from outside of their zip code. You can insert a zip code within their district (it is posted on their web sites where they identify their local in-state offices.
Your photo is of those hanged for the murder of President Lincoln, not for opposition to the war.
Even the Washington Post comes down on Murtha this morning talking about his "alarming ignorance about conditions in Iraq."
as the House of Representatives dishonored itself with a non-binding resolution ... an imaginary vote, what's next, an imaginary congress? an imaginary senate??
Sorry... My Kodak ran out of film when I was at the hanging of the Copperheads.
That's not a bad idea! Send those defeatists in congress piles of little white surrender flags.
Which Copperheads were hanged?
You may not have pictures, but surely you have names if you are going to make such accusations.

Disgusting, traitorous Dems have been not 'with us'. . .but only against us, from the very beginning. Seeing the 'Pelosi smiles' photo; post resolution says it all for Nancy, as well as the rest of her pack of a-patriotic, misguided fools.
I just called the two Dems who voted for our troops and country. I left a message for Marshall, but Taylor's mailbox was full. I hope it was with well-wishers and not attack comments from 'rats.
Yeah, but in the 1860s the traitors at least had the decency to try and succeed and weren't represented.
It was HUMOR... Just making the point that Lincoln took some very strong actions to protect the Union. Those actions were 1000X more severe than anything in today's Patriot Act which has the libs all aflutter.
This wasn't an attempt at the remake of the Ken Burns film.
I have always thought that the "insurgencies" would never have amounted to much. The emboldening that the enemy has been given from the very beginning by traitorous Americans has encouraged them to hold on until we are worn down and leave.
Sadly, since the left does not feel any shame over the aftermath of our running from Vietnam, they will never feel any shame over a possibly disastrous aftermath of our running from the Middle East.
Don't these Congress Critters have email?
Okay.
It's just that a lot of unreconstructed southernes post about the atrocities of the evil Lincoln, and I hadn't heard this one before.
