Coming from Staten Island, NY, it looks like he may be a bit of a RINO, meaning support for Boner’s collaborating with the Mahdi on this could well be eroding the more people learn about it. The more this dead fish stays out in the sun, the worse it stinks.

Kissnger carefully managed to forget how Congress cut off all funding for the Vietnam War while he was SOS and Nixon was POTUS. Cutting off the funding and leaving the troops hanging there was a lot worse than saying NO to LBJ in the first place would have been.

Just Emailed my Senator Burr R(NC) to vote against bombing Syria. Don’t know if it will help.

I emailed the clowns from Georgia over the weekend, but I've found that you can't get their attention unless you attach a credit card number - but somehow this isn't considered bribery???

I think as more information about the “rebels” comes out the more support obama will lose.

We have 200 declared votes in the House against it so far.

... he showed his hand when he should have kept it close, he failed to gain the support of key allies, and continues to delay action indefinitely until Congress acts.

That was his plan as soon as Britain backed away. He’s a chicken sh!t from the day he was ill-conceived in the womb. He gets to act tough, something that is unnatural for him and it shows, while using congress, something else that is unnatural for him, as the scapegoat for his ludicrous BS. Thanks president a$$hole, you brought US to a new low on the world stage.

“Additionally, I have heard from many constituents who strongly oppose unilateral action...”.
I was one of them. I wrote him yesterday telling him not to make the mistake of listening to the wrong people. I worked my ash off for him in 2010 10 hours a day for the last 70 days - no days off. He was ranked exactly in the middle number 218 moving left to right OR right to left by the National Journal. I wrote him and told him if he voted for anything even smelling like amnesty I'd campaign against him since the Democrat that would be replacing him would at least get us some federal money for our bridges once they took the House again. I told him I'd march in front of his office wearing a sandwich board telling people why they shouldn't vote for him. We'll see if he's just started listening or just finished listening hmmm.

He voted against the King of Iowa amendment.

He is also popping up on La Raza type sites as one of the house traitors on amnesty. How many non Puerto Rican hispanics will vote in his primary?

Yup. The House rejected Clinton’s authorization for Bosnia in 1999, in a tie vote.
