“Most members of Congress of both parties would prefer to sit it out,” said Rep. Peter DeFazio (D-Ore.). “If the president does well, they can say, ‘Gee we were there with him.’ If the president doesn’t do well, they can say, ‘We were against it.’”

That's why they call them "leaders", I suppose. Disgusting.

No blood for al Qaeda!

Whatever they say now is mute, when push comes to shove, they will back obama, because for them the party is first, that is the way of the demoncrat!

Right now, the loudest voices condemning possible airstrikes have come from Republicans like Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.). Rep. Scott Rigell (R-Va.) on Tuesday has collected more than 110 signatures from Democrats and Republicans for a letter urging Obama to seek congressional authorization before attacking Syria.

Where's Boehner ?

It will take a good spanking from Democrats to reign him in. More power to them, they are Americans also.

Since when? Those leftwing nutbag goofball sons-of-bitches have been crapping on everything American for decades.

Where's Boehner ?

Probably strategizing with the GOP on how to primary and oust those pesky Tea Party reps who are the boehner of his existence.
